Larimer County issues new COVID-19 health orders

By Samantha Ye @samxye4

The Larimer County Department of Health and Environment has placed new restrictions on alcohol sales, private gatherings and recreational sports, as rising COVID-19 num-

bers threaten the county’s status with state guidelines.

Currently, Larimer County has a Safer at Home Level 1 status, the second most open level on the Colorado COVID-19 dial.

But as county case rates, hospitalizations and positive test rates are all increasing, Larimer is at high risk to fall back to

Safer at Home Level 2 or even Level 3, which brings in stricter health guidelines from the state.

Those guidelines affect operations for restaurants, schools, places of worship and more.

As such, the LCDHE has implemented “critical measures designed to slow the spread of the virus” with an Emergency

Public Health Order, according to a county press release.

The order went into effect on Friday and poses the following restrictions: Restaurants and bars cannot sell alcohol for on-site consumption or takeout after 11 p.m.

Personal gatherings are limited to 10 people or fewer from no

more than two separate households. This applies to both indoor and outdoor gatherings.

This does not apply to gatherings of members living in the same household or any non-personal gatherings like voting, school activities and work. see COVID-19 on page 4 >>

Colorado State University first-year student Lev Meyers studies in the Morgan Library courtyard Oct. 22. Meyers is studying business and hopes to open his own chain of beer gardens throughout Colorado called “Bux Brews,” where his menu would feature a small selection of food as well as 50 different drafts of beers. Meyers wants to work for himself, create his own schedule and employ other people. Though it’s riskier, “I think it’s worth it,” Meyers said.

Ballot feature: What Proposition 115 would change if passed

By Natalie Weiland @natgweiland

KE CAR TA

RAMS

Proposition 115 would prohibit abortions after 22 weeks in the state of Colorado.

Current state laws hold no gestational time limitations or other restrictions. For minors, a twoday notice must be given to parents or guardians unless the patient wishes to obtain a judicial bypass, according to the Colorado’s Parental Notification Law. Under Proposition 115, the state law would change so that abortions would no longer be permitted after 22 weeks gestational age.

According to the 2020 State Ballot Information Booklet, sent to

all addresses with a registered voter, “Any person who intentionally or recklessly performs or attempts to perform an abortion after 22 weeks gestation would be guilty of a class 1 misdemeanor punishable by a fine of $500 to $5,000.”

The only exceptions allowed by the ballot measure are direct threats to the life of the pregnant person. No exceptions are permitted for cases of rape, incest, the pregnant person’s mental health or fetal abnormalities.

Since 1984, Coloradans have voted on nine ballot measures relating to abortion, such as public funding for abortion services, the classification of a fetus as a person and parental notification requirements for minors seeking abortions.

Proposition 115 is the first, however, to address gestational age restrictions.

Proposition 115 is the result of a ballot initiative, meaning signatures were collected by co-sponsors Erin Behrens and Giuliana Day and presented to the state government in order for the measure

of students practice public health behaviors to avoid spreading COVID-19.* Use physical distancing, wear your masks, and open a window to increase air flow. * covid.colostate.edu/socialnorms

to appear on the ballot.

Argument for Proposition 115 Proponents of the bill argue that passage would “bring Colorado up to speed with the medical and legal status-quo,” as stated in an email to The Collegian

by Behrens.

Behrens points to Colorado’s status as only one of seven states, and Washington, D.C., that does not outlaw abortion at any stage, along with New Hampshire, Alaska, New Mexico, Oregon, New Jersey and Vermont.

“Since legalizing abortion in 1967, Colorado has not put in place any restrictions or limitations on abortion,” Behrens explained.

“We are an extreme outlier, as 43 other states limit abortion, as does most of the rest of the world. Our citizen’s initiative was created to bring our state in line with modern medical understanding of fetal development.”

Proponents see 115 as a means of recognizing “the dignity of women and the humanity of their unborn children,” as stated in the Blue Book.

Argument against Proposition 115 Proposition 115’s opponents argue that “restricting access to abortion limits a woman’s right to bodily autonomy and interferes with the patient and doctor relationship,” according to the official opposition statement in the Blue Book.

CSU students Taylor Ziska, Hunter Ridgeway and Kaylin Brooks, who lead the CSU Rams Vote No on 115 campaign, see it as an outright ban that ignores the complexities and unique circumstances of pregnancy.

“An abortion ban is an abortion ban, no matter what the ... ‘exceptions’ (are),” senior Ziska said, referring to the measure’s lack of exceptions for rape or incest victims and non-viable pregnancies.

“There are no exceptions in this ban.”

Opponents see 115 as a harmful means of restricting health care disguised as a reasonable compromise.

“I think people ... look at it and think, ‘Oh, 22 weeks, that’s enough time for somebody to make up

their mind,’” Brooks said. “They’re just not taking in the realities of how everything is so complex, pregnancy is unique and it just puts on so much pressure and hardship for people if we create a ban like that.”

Further, the bill could adversely affect minority groups who already face challenges in accessing health care.

“I am non-binary, and I have a uterus, and a lot of people don’t consider me as someone who desperately needs abortion care as well, and I’m already someone impacted by disproportionate access to health care and reproductive rights,” Ridgeway explained.

Brooks explained that the people who are impacted most are those who are low-income, young, people of color, immigrants and those already “disproportionately hurt in society.”

“If you take away this care, it’s just another thing that they would have to deal with and it’s not right,” Brooks said.

COVID-19 >> from page 1 Recreational and league sports are limited to players living in Larimer County and neighboring counties. Spectators are limited to two per player, up to 100 members in indoor facilities or 175 in outdoor facilities but no more than 50% total capacity.

Prior to any events, all teams and facilities must submit schedules of all gatherings and complete contact information for everyone participating in order to facilitate contact tracing. Failure to comply could result in suspension or cancelation of the league or season.

Non-essential businesses are encouraged to further reduce in-person work occupancy and increase remote work options.

These guidelines target areas of virus transmission noted by the county. LCDHE contact tracing has

shown many positive COVID-19 cases traced back to private gatherings, according to the release.

Cases associated with organized recreational sports have been difficult to conduct contact tracing for due to players coming from many different counties, according to the release.

Being able to contact people who may have had contact with the virus has been critical to preventing community spread, especially when it comes to asymptomatic spreaders, according to Tom Gonzales, public health director of LCDHE. “Our contact tracers are trained, they’re empathetic, they’re not judgmental and all information is kept private,” Gonzales said at the Oct. 20 City Council meeting. “But if you’re not answering our call, if you’re not answering the questions, then we don’t know who the close contacts were, and I will tell you that is driving our case rates up.”

The alcohol sales restriction is based on limits set by other jurisdictions and the state, according to

the release.

When passing a similar restriction at the state level last summer, Gov. Jared Polis said it is meant to slow the spread of coronavirus among young adults, according to The Colorado Sun.

“As a community, we need to strictly follow the basic health guidelines to protect each other and to keep our businesses open.”

WADE TROXELL FORT COLLINS MAYOR

Back at the end of September, 18- to 24-year-olds made up over 50% of the county’s COVID-19 cases, making that an age group of key concern, Gonzales said. But now young adults have dropped down to about 31% of all cases as all other age groups are increasing.

As of Oct. 24, Larimer County has a case rate of 220 cases per 100,000 residents over the last two weeks, a major increase since the start of the month, according to the county’s COVID-19 dashboard.

That is well over double the case rate required to maintain a Level 1 status.

Cases per 100,000, hospitalizations per day and test positivity rate are the three key metrics the state uses to determine a county’s COVID-19 status. Currently, Larimer County exceeds or is close to exceeding all of them for Level 1.

According to the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment, counties can be moved up in level if they exceed any of the metrics for more than two weeks.

Larimer County’s clock started ticking Oct. 13, Gonzales said.

“Now is the time each of us need to increase our diligence to ‘Keep NoCo Open,’” Fort Collins Mayor Wade Troxell said in the press release. “As a community, we need to strictly follow the basic health guidelines to protect each

other and to keep our businesses open.”

There have been upticks in COVID-19 numbers after every holiday, but Gonzales urges diligence for the upcoming Halloween weekend because “we can’t afford another uptick after the Halloween holiday.”

“I know we’re all tired; we have COVID(-19) fatigue,” Gonzales said. “But we’re going to have to be diligent, even more than we were in July, in May, as we move into the winter months.”

This means sticking to all the social distancing protocols, hand-washing, face masks and getting a flu shot.

“If we do end in a higher level of restrictions, I hope the community can keep in mind that this is not intended as any kind of punishment for bad behavior on our part,” City Councilmember Ross Cunniff said. “This is all intended to keep us safe and to keep the most vulnerable in our society healthy and alive.”

Let’s return to tradition this Halloween season

By Cody Cooke @CodyCooke17

Editor’s Note: All opinion section content reflects the views of the individual author only and does not represent a stance taken by The Collegian or its editorial board.

It’s spooky season, y’all. The nights are cold, the eerie trees are shedding their leaves and the whole atmosphere portends fear and fright (in more ways than usual).

Halloween has arrived.

Halloween this year will look different due to COVID-19, since some of our favorite activities like going to haunted houses and trick-or-treating aren’t activities that follow The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s recommendations. Instead of scaring us into dull resignation, I hope this season can help us see a new way to celebrate the famous fall holiday.

Americans who do choose to celebrate are estimated to spend $8.05 billion dollars on Halloweenrelated goods and festivities this year. According to the National Retail Federation, consumers are expected to spend “a little more on home decorations, candy and greeting cards,” especially celebrants between 18 and 24 years old.

I only mention these insights because they represent Halloween through a distinctly American lens, one that measures the success and excitement of holidays in how much money might be spent. But the historical reasons behind Halloween ought to be just as emphasized as the economic benefits of it.

The origin of what we know as Halloween today actually has deep connections to the natural world, connections that go further than throwing toilet paper into your neighbor’s bushes. The holiday started in Europe about two thousand years ago as a Celtic tradition called Samhain.

“It seems the holiday is no longer about offerings for good fortune and is instead more about gross consumption and accumulation.”

The ancient Celts celebrated the end of their year on Nov. 1, since it marked the end of the summer and harvest season and the beginning of the dark, frigid and often deadly winter. They also believed that this was the day their own world faded and overlapped with the world of dead spirits, both good and bad.

Ancient Celts would usually burn bonfires, dress themselves in costumes and make sacrifices to

these spirits in hopes of a fortunate winter. As the Romans conquered Celtic lands, different festivities and rituals (like bobbing for apples, which is probably connected to a holiday for the Roman goddess Pomona, according to History.com) were incorporated over time.

After centuries of Christian influences, Samhain had morphed into All Saint’s Day, which was also called All Hallows in Middle English. The full history gets a bit complicated once the Catholic Church got involved, but the overall idea was to celebrate the spirits of the dead as well as passage from one part of the year into the next.

These celebrations always hovered around the end of October and the beginning of November, a time of year that signaled transition from warmth and life to cold and death.

Now let’s compare the roots of this holiday to how it is celebrated today in the United States.

We still dress up in costumes, but usually ones that we buy are made out of plastic and other synthetic materials that can end up generating horrifying amounts of waste.

We still gather together to celebrate, but often, especially for college students, it’s more of an excuse for intoxication than it is communion with the worlds of life and death.

We buy obscene amounts of candy (Americans were expected to purchase $2.6 billion worth of Halloween candy in 2019)

processed in factories and wrapped in plastic. It seems the holiday is no longer about offerings for good fortune and is instead more about gross consumption and accumulation.

And just think of all the waste.

The once-worn costumes, candy wrappers, party supplies and decorations that end up not getting reused — that much trash can add up.

“Let’s rekindle that sense of wonder, excitement and chilly fright that makes us come together for warmth and comfort.”

Halloween appears to have become a holiday of excess in our consumer-capitalist society. It’s become disconnected from the processes of the natural world that originally fostered it. But since this year has forced us to rethink how we celebrate holidays, we have a chance to make Halloween more wholesome and less plastic.

One of my favorite things to do for any celebration is bake seasonal goodies. This can be fun for everyone and potentially healthier than loading up on Smarties and Tootsie Rolls. Plus, nothing tastes better than homemade cookies.

Instead of purchasing a costume, you can make your own,

either from materials at home or from donated clothing at secondhand stores. This can be an exercise in creativity without contributing to the carbon-intensive textile industry.

Thrift stores like the Arc or Goodwill are affordable places to look for any accessory. Last Halloween, I went as a dog, and all the garments I bought for my costume totaled $11.

Despite the pandemic, we can still have fun with our friends and appreciate the otherworldly aura of autumn. Instead of paying corporations to watch horror films, consider taking a walk outside.

Breathe in the crisp, chilly air; stroll through the crunchy orange leaves; connect yourself with the changing natural world that the ancient Celts venerated two millennia ago.

The president and chief executive officer of Spirit Halloween, Steven B. Silverstein, calls Halloween “a celebration and opportunity to transform into whoever or whatever you want to be.” This makes sense coming from a man who sells costumes for a living, but we can take some good advice from his words.

This Halloween, let’s try not to be flagrant consumers bound by plastic materialism. Instead, let’s rekindle that sense of wonder, excitement and chilly fright that makes us come together for warmth and comfort.

CSU Voter Engagement & County Clerk Forums Colorado State University football player Izzy Matthews cuts through California State University, Fresno’s defense Nov. 5, 2016. COLLEGIAN FILE PHOTO

By Jack Taylor @j_taylr

Unfortunately for Colorado State University football fans, the scheduled season opener at home against the University of New Mexico was canceled due to health concerns. After finishing the 2019 season 4-8 and not receiving bowl game eligibility, CSU called it quits for previous head coach Mike Bobo.

New head coach Steve Addazio, after an extended off-season, was finally going to showcase his new team. Addazio cleaned house, installing a new offensive and defensive playbook that Rams fans were eager to see.

The silver lining for CSU football is their new upcoming season opener against California State University, Fresno in California on Oct. 29. A team who fared worse than the Rams by a thin margin, also ending the 2019 calendar year 4-8 overall but 2-6 in conference play. This losing trend has carried over to the new season for Fresno, falling to the University of Hawaii 34-19 this past Saturday.

To open the season with a win, CSU football must plan accordingly for a Fresno team that operates on a run-first scheme.

Last season, the Rams were the 9th ranked defense against the run in the Mountain West, allowing an average of 195.8 rushing yards per game. This will be a problem for the Rams because starting Fresno running back Ronnie Rivers was 52 yards short of a 1,000 yard rushing season in 2019.

Now a senior, Rivers had an extended offseason. Rivers’ game is based on speed and agility, cutting multiple times before breaking through the second level. The

extra gain in size will slow Rivers down but will give him an increase in power.

Being named to the Paul Hornung Award watchlist, an acknowledgment for football players who add versatility to their team, and the Doak Walker Award watchlist, an award given to the best college running back, Rivers has an extra boost of confidence coming into the season. He will be a force to not be reckoned with.

This Fresno State matchup will be won with defense. Not only will CSU have to plan for a ground-and-pound offensive scheme of Fresno, but they must also capitalize on the Fresno passing game. In their opening season loss to Hawaii, Fresno quarterback Jake Haener threw 3 interceptions. Haener will not have an easier game against CSU — last season the Rams ranked first in pass defense, only allowing 181.6 passing yards per game.

Chuck Heater, the Rams’ defensive coordinator, will lean heavily on senior Logan Stewart, who finished 21st in interceptions last season, and Keevan Bailey, who ranked 25th in passes defended last year. Both of these defensive backs showed up big for the CSU defense last season and must show up again against a struggling quarterback, Haener if the Rams want to come away with a win.

The CSU Rams have conquered the Fresno State Bulldogs in their past three matchups.

Rams fans will wait to see on Oct. 29 if Addazio and the re-invented CSU football team has the grit and proper defensive game plan to start the season with a win away from home.
