Fort Collins ranks high in economic growth, aims for affordability

By Samantha Ye @samxye4

Population growth in Fort Collins may draw a lot of opinions, but as a small business owner, Lisa Paugh certainly doesn’t mind the increase in customers.

She has run her store, Walrus Ice Cream, since early 2014 and has seen year after year of sales growth, despite only mak-

ing money four months out of the year. And with its buy-local mantra and friendly atmosphere, the shop is a nice reminder of the types of businesses behind a physically and economically growing city.

For the third year running, Fort Collins placed in the top 10 2018 Best Performing Cities report done by the Milken Institute, an independent economic think tank.

The ranking takes into account job growth, wage growth, high-tech gross domestic product growth and the number of industries concentrated in the area.

Colorado State University and the growing tech startup industry were cited as the city’s most notable assets while the “scarce and overvalued” housing is the main liability. And while the Choice City’s overall placing

dropped from fifth in 2017 to ninth in the 2018 ranking, Fort Collins remains the top Colorado city with continuing growth in most areas.

“There’s a perception that we go out and we attract business, and our role has really been about how do we keep the jobs in this community and how do we help strengthen that?” City Economic Health Manager SeonAh Kendall said of the City’s goals.

“The future its really going to be focused on the talent and the people.”

In an email to The Collegian, Fort Collins Area Chamber of Commerce President David May wrote that employers’ demand for labor in the area exceeds the available workforce.

Man kills mountain lion in self-defense

By Ravyn Cullor @RCullor99

A runner near Horsetooth Rock found himself face-toface with a mountain lion on the hunt and was able to escape with his life, according to a Colorado Parks and Wildlife press release.

The man was running on the West Ridge Trail in the Horsetooth Mountain Open Space Feb. 4 when he heard something behind him. According to the release, when the runner turned around, a juvenile mountain lion lunged at him and bit the runner’s face and wrist.

The runner fought back and was able to choke the lion to death, said Rebecca Ferrell of CPW. He was then able to get off the mountain and to a local hospital on his own. Wildlife officers found the body of the lion on the trail near items the runner asked them to find.

“This gentleman did everything right; he fought back and got back on his feet,” Ferrell said.

According to the press release, mountain lion attacks are uncommon in Colorado,

with fewer than 20 fatalities in North America in more than 100 years. Since 1990, Colorado had 16 injuries and three fatalities as a result of mountain lion attacks.

MOUNTAIN LION SAFETY TIPS ■ Do not approach a lion. Give

them a way to escape.

■ Stay calm. Talk calmly and

firmly to the lion.

■ Move slowly and never turn

your back on it. Running may stimulate a lion’s instinct to chase and attack.

■ Appear larger. Raise your arms.

Open your jacket if you’re wearing one.

■ If the lion behaves aggressively, throw stones or branches. Fight back if a lion attacks you. Lions have been driven away by prey that fights back. Target the eyes and nose, as these are sensitive areas.

Ferrell says CPW is not yet sure why the lion attacked,

The lion was later reported dead by Colorado Parks and Wildlife. PHOTO COURTESY OF THE UNITED STATES FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE

but they believe that the lion’s hunting instincts were triggered by the running. A necropsy will be performed to determine if there were any other factors, like disease, that caused the lion to attack.

In a press release to The Collegian, Larimer County Natural Resources announced that the Horsetooth Mountain

Open Space will be temporarily closed starting Feb. 5 due to “newly discovered” mountain lion activity in the area.

Although mountain lions tend to avoid humans, according to the Parks Service, CPW has a number of recommendations for potential encounters with mountain lions. These include appearing large, refrain-

ing from running, speaking to the lion in a calm and quiet voice and if the lion attacks, fighting back.

“If a lion attacks you, use anything you have—keys, hiking poles, a pocket knife—to do everything you can to fight back,” Ferrell said.

WHY THE CHANGE? To comply with the governor’s 2018 executive order.

Growth >> from page 1 “If you’re a student or a recent graduate, you can find a job here,” May wrote.

May also wrote that remaining relevant to the technology sector matters, since Fort Collins has served as a “workbench” for Silicon Valley, and being a university town is a “big, big plus” in that area.

Twice cited in Milken reports as the city’s main weakness, Fort Collins’ tech scene has now been strengthened from software development and clean tech, Kendall said.

Deliberate growth in collaboration between CSU and businesses has also been a valuable boon.

“With a student population, we’re always an evergreen city,” Mayor Wade Troxell said. “Just the normal activity in our city is vibrant because of the student population.”

That vibrancy in culture and economy has helped fuel the city’s population growth which has, in turn, contributed to rising housing prices and general affordability issues, Troxell said. And it’s not all bad.

“Generally speaking, population growth is good for business,” May wrote. “It means more workers and talent, more customers and more disposable income in the market.”

However, May, Kendall and Troxell all acknowledge how increased demand creates affordability problems, even if the

News | Wednesday, February 6, 2019

area is still relatively less expensive than other metro areas.

“You’re starting to see an out-migration where (people) might be living in the neighboring communities and commuting in,” Kendall said.

That is impacting companies’ ability to draw in new employees, Kendall said.

“Everybody is a co-creator in our community to make it a better place. People are engaging, we’re very philanthropic and we’ve been able to maintain those values that make Fort Collins a special place.”

WADE TROXELL FORT COLLINS MAYOR

The City is working to develop better housing policy and nearby cities to better leverage Northern Colorado commuting patterns.

May pointed to overly-restrictive government policies such as U+2, an ordinance preventing more than three unrelated people from living together, which limits supply and has been found to increase costs.

Troxell said he supported “right-sizing” the occupancy ordinance so that housing built for four people can house four people, referencing the Me+3 movement, as well as increas-

ing supply of housing.

“Being a desirable place to live, that will always be a pressure of some kind or another,” Troxell said.

Nevertheless, having seen his hometown population multiply by eight times just in his lifetime, Troxell remains certain Fort Collins is an even better place today through that growth.

“Everybody is a co-creator in our community to make it a better place,” Troxell said.

“People are engaging, we’re very philanthropic and we’ve been able to maintain those values that make Fort Collins a special place.”

At Walrus Ice Cream, Paugh would probably agree.

“This is one of the very few communities where you can walk into almost any one of these downtown stores and the owners are going to be in there working,” Paugh said.

Good community engagement and service have made Walrus a fixture of downtown.

Paugh purchases local ingredients whenever she can, incorporates customer ideas into her store (like using activated charcoal in a black licorice ice cream) and hires high school and college students to whom she teaches good work habits.

She doesn’t even advertise— instead, the store donates ice cream to local groups who ask for it.

“I think that’s part of being a local business,” Paugh said.

“You support the community that supports you.”

Sheriff’s Office obtains arrest warrant for kidnapping suspect

By Julia Trowbridge @chapin_jules

Larimer County Sheriff’s Office obtained a second-degree kidnapping arrest warrant for William McDonough Feb. 5. McDonough was released from the Denver City Jail that same day, according to a press release from LCSO. On Feb. 2 at around 10 p.m, an employee at Berthoud Hometown Liquor reported a female employee missing to the LCSO after McDonough came into the store asking for a ride because his car was out of gas. After convincing the female employee that he should drive her car, he drove her against

her will to Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel.

The Denver Police Department was called after McDonough caused disruptions and was arrested for carrying a concealed weapon without a permit and was booked into Denver City Jail. The woman was safe and was not threatened with the weapon.

On the afternoon of Feb. 5, McDonough posted $20,000 bond for his arrest warrant and was released from Denver City Jail. Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call LCSO’s Investigator Drew Weber at 970-498-5172.

Julia Trowbridge can be reached at news@collegian.com.

CSU made me realize I’m not as liberal as I thought Katrina Leibee @idon’tusetwitter

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.

One of the 70 things to do before you graduate from Colorado State University is to make a statement on The Stump.

Yet, daily, The Stump remains empty, voiceless and barren, excluding the few people that go there wanting about God, some of whom I’m not even sure are students.

Maybe it’s because students are afraid, or maybe it is because they have nothing to say.

One reason for this might be that students and organi-

zations at this campus have demonstrated time after time that left-leaning thoughts and blue voices are preferred.

Coming to CSU has made me realize I am not as liberal as I thought I was, and that we should all think carefully before labeling ourselves as strictly liberal or conservative.

Political ideologies lie on a spectrum that everyone should explore freely before confining themselves to a label that people will always use to simplify them.

In November, I wrote an article on inclusive language that was popular among many conservative websites, and which students and staff in organizations that I participated in here saw as a concern.

They saw it as frightening that what they deemed as a conservative student might not just be walking on this campus, but speaking their mind as well.

The staff and students at the Associated Students of CSU suggested I take down the article, and I was told I was not a good candidate to participate in diversity and inclusion within their organization, something I had been interested in. They brought my character into question simply because I had a different opinion.

“They saw it as frightening that what they deemed as a conservative student might not just be walking on this campus, but speaking their mind as well.”

Attacks on character rather than argument are not uncommon from more liberal leaning organizations and groups

Progressive parent lets child pick their own name

By Abby Vander Graaff @abbym_vg

Editor’s note: This is a satire piece from The Collegian’s opinion section. Real names may be used in fictitious/semi-fictitious ways. Those who do not read editor’s notes are subject to being offended.

FORT COLLINS- A forthcoming group of dedicated parents is pushing the limits of individuality for their children.

How are they doing this? By letting their kids pick their own names.

Similar to how you chose your email username in middle school, these children can choose names that reflect how they feel inside.

“We are tired of putting our children in predetermined categories before they get a chance to shine as unique individuals,” said Meadow Ambrosia, head member of the Coalition of Parents and Guardians for the Individuality of Babies, Toddlers, and Children.

“We don’t want to name our kids something like ‘Chad,’ and then have to spend a fortune on JUULs and frat expenses when they go to college,” Ambrosia said.

Known for short as “Snowflakes”, or “Potheads”, members of the coalition met at an

anti-vaccination rally, where they agreed that the freedom of their children warranted more attention than their health.

“There is an importance in letting children know that whatever name they feel is theirs can be theirs, because they are individuals,” Ambrosia said between slurps of her organic, free-range açaí smoothie.

Skye Quest, a member of the CPGIBTC, welcomed Collegian reporters into her home so they could see the daily interactions of her 3-year-old “self-named” child, Poopy, and the world around him.

“Members of the coalition met at an anti-vaccination rally, where they agreed that the freedom of their children warranted more attention than their health.”

“Let me show you Poopy’s name journey,” Quest said. The neon light from her lava lamp illuminated her face as she unlocked her family safe. Next to dozens of precious crystals and essential oils sat a stack of birth

certificates outlining each of the unique name identities her son has lived with.

His first name was “EEEHHHHHAAAA.” And, then he changed it to “Kookie” (pronounced “cookie”), before finally settling on Poopy. One name to represent each of his three years of free existence.

But this freedom does not come without its challenges.

“We have spent a lot of time at the courthouse for name changes” Quest said. “It’s difficult for Poopy to be in a place like that. He’s not allowed to yell and scream when he’s in there. And, they make him wear shoes.”

Outside the window Poopy ran barefoot, splashing freely in the public fountain behind his tiny home. Despite his hardships, Quest feels that name-changing is worth it.

“I am glad my son will never have to live in a world where he is called anything other than what he truly is — a massive piece of sh*t,” Quest emoted, looking at her son lovingly.

Poopy was still standing in the fountain, now dangling a squirrel over the water by its tail. “They really do grow up so fast,” she said, blinking through happy tears.

on this campus, as exemplified by the Students Against White Supremacy’s petition to remove Turning Point USA’s chapter from campus last year.

I still consider myself mostly liberal, but this experience, along with others, made me consider the right side of every political issue and idea. If being liberal means participating in “cancel culture” — simply denying, ignoring and canceling something controversial — rather than “conversation culture,” which means having conversations and diverse dialogue, then I am comfortable saying I would rather sway to the right.

I have seen liberals on this campus attempt to cancel words and organizations they dislike. They often ask students to blindly accept their viewpoints and become uncomfortable when they are challenged.

“Conservative” was used as

a dirty word, and people found it easy to label my writing as such rather than considering that all political ideologies lie on a spectrum. It is possible for someone to have political beliefs that lie on the left, right and middle.

Conversations can only be started if one dares to say something controversial. Coming here has made me want to consider the right more, purely because I have been told that I am not allowed to or I will be protested against, which every conservative speaker here has experienced.

One does not have to label themselves or their ideas as conservative in order to consider things from a right-leaning perspective, and similarly with liberal ideas.

No person is completely left or right. Coming to CSU has taught me that.

STYLEOVERVIEW

A

s we head further into our college careers, there are numerous opportunities where we must present ourselves in a professional manor.

Whether you have an interview, a meeting or networking event, it’s important to know how to dress appropriately. Many of these occasions call for “business casual” attire.

There seems to be some confusion around this term and it is essential to understand the subtleties between “business” and “business casual.” Looking unprofessional can give a negative impression or even hinder your chances of securing a job.

Matthew Randall, executive director of

the CPE says “How an individual dresses for work can be a powerful extension of his personal brand. Clothes, accessories and even the footwear an employee chooses to wear help to reinforce or diminish his skills and qualities in the eyes of his employer, co-workers, and clients.”

So, how should you dress? There are many ways to create a business casual look and still be fashionable. You don’t have to wear a fullon suit, but typically mixing one piece of formal business attire with a casual item is appropriate.

For example, wearing a pair of simple black jeans and adding a blazer with a dressier top would work. Dress pants and a blouse

could also do the trick. For footwear, flats or booties are a suitable option for women because they give a professional appearance but are also comfortable.

Men can choose between dress shoes, boots or leather sneakers depending on the outfit.

However, perfecting your business casual look doesn’t have to break the bank! There are a number of brands that offer business attire on a budget.

H&M, Forever 21 and Nordstrom Rack all have many affordable options. You can still look polished even in less expensive items.

While clothing is important, personal grooming is just as crucial. You may have the perfect outfit but if you look like you just rolled

out of bed, you will seem unprepared and unprofessional.

Ladies, make sure your hair is frizz-free and try straightening or curling it for a more uniform look.

Your makeup should be properly blended and not too dark or over done. Guys, consider putting some product in your hair if you don’t normally do. Paying careful attention to your personal appearance and hygiene will make all the difference. Having a genuine smile and a firm handshake will be the icing on the cake. Looking sharp and appropriate will surely help boost your confidence and move you one step closer to securing your dream job! We believe in you, Rams!

SPORTS MEDIA

Sports media can no longer accept gender discrimination Luke Zahlmann @lukezahlmann

Flashback to Dec. 27, 1987.

The National Football League was in week 15 of the 1987-88 season, with the Seattle Seahawks taking on the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium.

Calling play-by-play on NBC was the first female to do so in league history: Gayle Sierens.

Fast forward to Sept. 11, 2017.

ESPN’s Monday Night Football was led by Beth Mowins doing play-by-play for the first time since Sierens. The accolade was also the first nationally televised instance of a woman taking the reigns.

The reactions to the latter were more publicized due to the growth of social media.

Various accounts expressed their dismay with Mowins taking over in the booth, shooting out Tweets with phrases like “prepare your mute buttons” and “nails on a chalkboard.” One man even threatened to switch channels.

Though sexists chose to pay attention to a woman earning her way into the booth, the game still drew a crowd that averaged 10.7 million, according to Nielson live ratings. In comparison, last year’s first game of the NBA finals, the closest game of the series, drew 13.6 million.

One was a regular season game, the other was the most influential playoff game of last year’s NBA postseason. The difference was small.

Mowins did a phenomenal job, outshining her colleague Rex Ryan in their respective MNF debuts.

The only difference between her and other analysts who were given opportunities was that Mowins is a woman. Therefore, her first-time announcing mistakes were highly criticized, while laughable announcers like Jason Witten got the benefit of the doubt in their openers.

Even more recently, a pair of women, one a former Colorado State journalism graduate, fell prey to the same judgment and discrimination as their predecessors.

On April 23, 2018, CSU alumna Jenny Cavnar called play-by-

play in a Major League Baseball matchup between the Colorado Rockies and San Diego Padres.

The milestone marked the first time a woman was in the booth for a professional baseball game in 25 years.

The criticism on social media showed little growth.

“Women have NO business in men’s games! Don’t they have their own sports to ref, judge, commentate on, etc. I just feel the only place a woman should be in men sports is the front office. Or physical therapy perhaps,” read one tweet.

Another even criticized the Rockies organization for her opportunity, accusing them of doing it for “brownie points.”

Both were highly inappropriate and contributed to the false idea that only men can be in the booth.

Cavnar’s hope is that the discussion strays from criticism, allowing her to inspire young girls.

“I think that every year that goes by as we look back at the last decade so many more opportunities have come available because women are still pushing the envelope in what we can do,” Cavnar said in a 2018 interview with Collegian TV’s.

One of the typical arguments is “well, they didn’t play!” That argument is also laughable. As

High quality, affordably produced video

someone who did participate in athletics, I can tell you that the difference in knowledge between those who have and have not played is greatly exaggerated.

Among major announcers, several have little experience in sports outside of their high school careers. With Cavnar following the game alongside her father, a former baseball coach, her knowledge rivals most announcers.

“I think that every year that goes by as we look back at the last decade, so many more opportunities have come available because women are still pushing the envelope in what we can do.”

JENNY CAVNAR CSU ALUM

Neither Joe Buck or Colin Cowherd, two of the nation’s leaders in sports commentary, ever played sports at a high level, merely sticking to youth sports and little beyond that.

Finally, and most recently,

Olympic women’s hockey gold medalist Kendall Coyne Schofield bore the burden of discrimination.

Prior to her guest spot on the National Hockey League’s broadcast of a Jan. 30 contest between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Tampa Bay Lightning, Schofield fell prey to “mansplaining,” or men explaining things to women as if they were children.

The clip has made its rounds on social media, with her male counterpart even explaining that NBC is “paying her to be an analyst, not a fan.”

The instance was merely one of many for women in sports media. As I watched the clip, I couldn’t help but wonder what my response would be to something being explained to me like I was an adolescent. People assume I know what I’m watching due to my gender, though I struggle with certain sports like lacrosse much like others can struggle in fields that are foreign.

Of the many complaints about women along the sidelines and in the booth, there are other problems facing them as well. Among press boxes, locker rooms and even media rooms, women are often sexually assaulted.

Rubbing shoulders, moving women by a hand on their hips

or lower back and other various actions are not acceptable. If men wouldn’t do it to their male colleagues, they shouldn’t do it to their female colleagues either.

I have seen these things and more occur in a press room, merely being brushed off by the bystanders who witnessed it. I myself have stood by while subtle actions that add to a larger plague continue.

With women becoming a large part of the media, specifically sports media, it’s time that the discrimination stops.

Luckily for Cavnar, her support system has been a catalyst to her success.

“I have great colleagues and fantastic analysts that we work with and we all push each other to get better every day and I think that’s such a big difference,” Cavnar said.

Unfortunately, many do not receive the same support as the former CTV standout.

As Cavnar, Sierens, Mowins and Schofield, even in a guest appearance, have shown, women can hold their own among the many men of sports media.

Those who decide to underestimate them have themselves to blame when they get surpassed.

By Ryan Loberger @LobergerRyan

When talking about the country of Israel, the game of ice hockey isn’t the first thing that usually comes to mind.

With only two full-time-use rinks in the entire country, Israel isn’t known for producing hockey players.

Colorado State men’s hockey forward Yuval Rosenthal got hooked on hockey at a young age and it’s taken him halfway across the world as a result.

“I started playing hockey when I was three,” Rosenthal said. “I remember watching a commercial on one of the American channels we got at the time, and it had hockey in it. I turned to my dad and knew this was what I wanted to do.”

With the closest ice rink three hours away, Rosenthal would get his start playing inline hockey before making the transition to ice hockey as a teenager.

“I played in an inline hockey league until the age of 13,” Rosenthal said. “At the time, there was only one ice rink in the country, so we would occasionally make the trip up north, right on the border with Leba-

non.”

After making the switch to ice hockey and joining the Israeli pro league as a teenager, Rosenthal discovered he would have to come to North America to further his development as a hockey player.

“It was always a dream of mine to play hockey in Canada,” Rosenthal said. “I looked into a number of prep schools to study, play hockey and I wasn’t moving with my entire family.”

Upon receiving an offer to play at Banff Hockey Academy in Alberta, Rosenthal would make the journey from Israel to North America as a sophomore in high school. Living without his family, Rosenthal would live in a community home with his teammates, some of whom, were in a similar situation.

“We had a residence house for the team,” Rosenthal said.

“It was about 30 to 35 people all living in the same house. I had a roommate from Japan and I still keep in contact with some of the guys from Austria, Latvia, the U.S. and Canada.”

After finishing school and playing junior hockey in Canada, Rosenthal would find an unlikely home in CSU when a former teammate at Banff men-

tioned the university.

Rosenthal would find his fit with the Ram’s on the ice, and has been a part of the program for all four years. On top of playing collegiate hockey and being a double-major Rosenthal is also the ASCSU Director of Community Affairs. “(CSU) wasn’t even on my radar, I was trying to decide on a school, just checking out different spots and I mentioned to one of my friends, how about I come to check out Colorado,” Rosenthal said. “I swear to you the second we got into Fort Collins I knew this is where I want to go to school.”

Impressed by the campus and the people surrounding it Rosenthal knew CSU was going to be home, after meeting the team and the staff Rosenthal was sold on Fort Collins. “(They were) some of the most welcoming people I’ve ever meet in my life,” Rosenthal said. “The coach at the time, Eric Sunness, he was also Jewish so we bonded over that. He’s also a criminal defense attorney which is something that I came to CSU with the intention of pursuing so that also helped persuade me.”

Now a senior, Rosenthal

is a double major in economics and political science and is unsure of his future career. As an Israeli citizen, military service is required upon your 18th birthday, Rosenthal has already served time between semesters but could be required for an extended time upon graduation.

“Right now I’d like to continue my education and go to law school, but if I’m required to go back and serve more time

that’s what I’ll do,” Rosenthal said.

Rosenthal will be one of the seniors graduating this year.

The Rams play in their last home game of the season, battling the University of Colorado, Boulder on senior night Feb. 16 at Edora Pool Ice Center at 7:15 p.m.

‘The Waverly Gallery’ explores memory and essence

By Maddie Wright @maddierwright

The newest show at Bas Bleu examines the family dynamic as the matriarch of the family slowly declines into Alzheimer’s.

The content of this play encourages an intense emotional connection. I found myself tearing up multiple times during the show.

It is a heartbreaking story that portrays an unavoidable reality for countless people and families. It invokes lots of emotions in its audience through the tears and the laughter of the actors with their visible sadness and frustration on stage.

“It’s a lot like jazz, everyone’s playing a different instrument.

They’re playing the same song but they each have their own solos going on on top of each other.”

STEVEN FOX ACTOR

“My grandfather, when he was alive, suffered from dementia the last few years of his life,” said Properties Director Victoria Cline. “I’ve never heard of this show. It was

very interesting when it all kind of came to light as to what’s going on and you see her . . . decline and . . . everybody can relate to someone in this show and it’s eerie how that works, everybody is related to someone or know someone who has suffered senility, Alzheimer’s, dementia.”

Throughout the play, a theme of inclusivity develops around the woman with Alzheimer’s, Gladys (Wendy Ishii). She wants to included, heard and be given attention. She is at the point where she does not fully comprehend what is happening around her. The people around her become progressively less understanding and patient with her as her condition worsens.

The play is beautifully crafted with a cast of only five. It is a memory play, meaning that it is told through various narrative monologues of one of the characters sharing their memories. In this case it is told by Daniel, the grandson of Gladys. By doing this, Daniel talks directly to the audience and provides more context for what is happening in the story and fill in the blanks between chunks of time as it does take place over the span of around two years.

The acting from the five-person cast is impressive. For two of the actors, this was their first play with Bas Bleu and for one actor, Galen Trine, this was his first live theatre performance ever.

“Lines in this play are hard,” Trine said. “Especially Wendy,

(she’s) got some really hard lines because she’s losing her mind throughout the play so it’s lots of stuttering.”

Playwright Kenneth Lonergan designed the play to have a rhythm where the pieces build off each other and also exist as individuals.

“Lines are built on top of each other’s lines,” said actor Steven Fox. “It’s a lot like jazz, everyone’s playing a different instrument.

They’re playing the same song but

they each have their own solos going on on top of each other.”

The concept of Alzheimer’s effect on relationships is an intense emotional concept for a play.

That said, many lines in the play got a laugh. Some lines or parts of the play did have some comedic weight to them. But I could not help but find myself wondering if we were laughing with or at the situation. Personally, there was some guilt with every giggle I let out.

“It’s got a lot of humor in it, because an old lady can be very funny because they can be very forgetful,” Cline said. “You don’t recognize that at first and you’re thinking, ‘Oh that’s funny’ but as it gets deeper and more intense and into her decline, it gets very strong and it’s kind of like ‘oh that poor woman.’”
