Michener hosts grasslands exhibit By Wilhelmena Jackson news@uncmirror.com
UNC’s Mari Michener Gallery held the “Grassland Inspiration IV: A juried show featuring art and photography inspired by Historical Weld County” in the Michener Library on the first floor from Aug. 22 to Sept. 23. The event was sponsored by the Northeastern Colorado Heritage League a local organization that promotes and preserves the history, culture and genealogy of the plains. As it states in the title, the theme of the exhibit surrounded the history of Weld County and the plains. Most of the pieces in the exhibit show pictures of the plains, dilapidated houses, animals and small towns. This exhibit consists of photography, water color, oil and acrylic and dry media. All these pictures show what life is like in the plains. People who have been on a road trip has driven by miles of plains, watching the yellow and green grass speed by in a blur. The art shows current life on the plains including livestock and small towns. When walking through the exhibit, viewers might feel like they are actually there, walking through the plains, hearing the cows in the distance grazing lazily through the grass. Cars zoom by, blasting music quickly fading into the horizon. There was different types of art, and many of the pieces were interchangeable. The photos looked like paintings and the paintings looked like photos. One of the artists was named Pam Holnback. Her combination of simple, but realistic art stood out from the others. She
majored in art education at UNC and traveled the world teaching art in different countries, including Bolivia. Her mother and sister also majored in art education, and her father worked in advertising, but he built a lot of things in the house. Being surrounded by creativity allowed Holnback’s own creativity flow. “Art and creativity was a huge part of my family’s life,” she said. Holnback paints contemporary and impressionist art. She typically does still life art, but her specialty is Plein Air art. This is a French word that means fresh air, or painting outside. This can be a difficult art form because when painting outside, there’s only a certain amount of time she has
to capture the image before the light changes, changing the image completely. Typically, when doing Plein air art, it takes Holnback two hours to complete a piece she said. Holnback likes to paint landscapes, gardens and flowers. “I paint my life,” she stated when describing her art. “My life would be out of doors, gardening and traveling,” She discovered the show somewhat by accident, through an email someone sent her after she completed a previous show in Littleton. A UNC graduate herself, she was happy to participate in the “Grassland Inspiration IV.” She submitted three pieces called “Morning Light,” “Old School House” and “Field of Clover.” In order to enter, Holnback
had to turn in a statement asaing about how the grasslands inspired her. So, she took her husband and drove through seven counties in two days taking tons of pictures. Out of the tons of pictures she took, she painted seven oil paintings and only submitted three for the show. Out of her three paintings “Morning Light” won Best of Show. When talking about this painting, Holnback knew once she took the picture of the image she knew it would end up being a painting. “The sky appeared silver… there was one bright spot of light. Everything around me looked metallic…I knew it would make a great painting,” she said enthusiastically. She took that picture when she was leaving Ster-
ling one early morning. Her other painting, “Old School House” was inspired by an old school house she saw. Holnback said she painted this picture because she believed it told a story. “It reminded me of Little House on the Prairie,” she said Her third picture “Field of Clover” was picked just because she liked it the best compared to the others. Holnback continues to travel today and is planning a trip to Ecuador next winter. Her next large project will be called “Inspirations of Ecuador”. The Grassland Inspiration IV art exhibit was from Aug. 22 to Sept. 23, at the Mari Michener Gallery in the Michener Library.
During the Grassland Inspiration art show, different submissions were put on display for students to view in Michener Library last week. Photo by Alex Nunley | The Mirror.

Students aMAZEd by magician By Maureen Sutton news@uncmirror.com
“Please silence your phones. They might scare the leprechauns.” That was one of the first things that was announced at The Maze magic show on Sept. 22 in the University Center, and it was just a slight glimpse into the wonder and mind-bending amazement that magician Jim Munroe offered to the audience. With interesting illusions, thought-provoking tricks and a quirky showman, The Maze magic show was hosted by Cru, an on-campus ministry, and Be The Match, a bone marrow donor program. Before the event started at seven, the line to get into the ballroom stretched all the way through the University Center, wrapping through the hallway leading to the Columbine, Aspen and Spruce Suites and coming out again on the other side. There were 950 seats, all quickly filled with students and their friends, each with a preconceived notion of what this show would be like. But nobody was quite prepared for what would happen when Munroe first appeared onstage. When a showman immediately grabs the audience's attention and gets them to participate right off the bat, things are going to be interesting. The entire first half of the show was full of twists, turns and mind-blowing illusions. They had entered The Maze, a world of illusion and magic, and would be guided by Munroe through the mysteries and twists of the show. Then, like a balloon popping, the first half of the evening ended, leaving the audience on the edge of their seats in anticipation of what might happen next. The lights came back on, and Munroe stood back up
on the stage. He announced that there would be a very quick break. This was for two reasonsthe first being that the stage
from a stranger who didn't have to help, wasn't obligated in the slightest. There was nothing in it for the woman who would be Mun-
He also showed a video that showed how close to death he had been, so those in the audience could fully grasp how real this story
“I’ve been a believer for a while now, but if I wasn’t, this would’ve made me believe.” looked like there had been jelly-bean hail, and it needed to be entirely reset. The second? Munroe announced that he was going to talk about Christ, and his testimony after the break, and he wanted anyone who had no desire to hear it to leave. He was quite clear about the fact that nobody had to stay, and just over a fourth of the audience stood, gathered their belongings, and left. Several minutes later, the stage was being reset, and Munroe took the opportunity to introduce the stage manager and the stage hand resetting the table and chairs onstage, thanking them both for being there. Then the second half of the night began. Munroe started it by explaining where he had been before Christ stepped in, and exactly what it had taken for him to see that he needed Christ in his life. It had taken leukemia, several doctors inadvertently quoting scripture to him and a bone-marrow transplant for him to realize it. His story closely paralleled the Gospel, starting with the fact that he needed a savior, and not even his own family could do that. There was only one person in the world whose DNA matched his closely enough to defeat the cancer, and it wasn't even from his own children. It was
roe's savior. And yet, she went ahead and gave her bone marrow to help a complete stranger. The girl didn't have to die for Munroe to live. Actually, they met in person after he was healthy again. He showed a very heartwarming video to prove that.
was. When he was done, he gave an actual run-through of the Gospel, complete with scripture to back it up. Munroe ended the evening by praying for the audience, and then he had one last trick up his sleeve to end the show.
When the second half of the show was over, there was an opportunity to sign up with Be The Match as bone marrow donors, and so many people took that opportunity to donate. Even better was the very energetic crowd just casually hanging out and talking about everything they’d just experienced. “It was absolutely stunning,” said Wesley Nowlin, a sophomore engineering major. Nowlin said “the best part of the night was seeing so many people sign up to donate.” Kylie Eicleberry, a elementary education major in her sophomore year, said that her favorite part of the night was “probably how his (Munroe’s) story related to Jesus’ story. I’ve been a believer for a while now, but if I wasn’t, this would’ve made me believe.”

Jazz music featured on central campus Story continued from page 1.
Jazz is different from many other music genres because of the freedoms that it allows the members of the band to enjoy. Chance Davis, a freshman music education major, played the tenor saxophone with the Jazz Lab III band at the Garden Theatre event. “In sixth grade, watching the junior high and high school jazz bands play was a whole lot of fun. It all seemed so interesting and it still is interesting,” Davis said, while explaining why he first became interested in playing jazz music. There are some musicians who see jazz as more than just another form of music. These performers see jazz music as their means to share a story with the audience. “You get to be a leader to the band. You’re leading
this story, but you’re still communicating with everyone else in the band,” said Alexandra Sjobeck, a first year jazz piano maser’s student. “Jazz is the basis for a lot of modern music. It’s important to understand where the music comes from.” Sjobek said. Jazz music offers musicians the chance to breakaway from what’s written on the page and make every performance of the same song unique. “You get to interpret the music in your own way. You’re adding a special part of you [to the song],” saidSam Hesch, a freshman music education major, while sharing his favorite part about playing jazz music. Hesch later added that the best part about listening to jazz is that “When you listen, you’re listening to how someone’s day went.” Music is influenced by how memories, emotions, motivations, and so much more. So when someone
listens to a song, they’re listening to a piece of the composer’s life, as if that moment in life were captured by a single song. Music has become an important piece of everyday life for many people, it gives them a chance to escape daily worries and stress. It also can bring people together in the best kind of ways. Dance music, rock concerts--it doesn’t matter what type of music it is. Music is a powerful force that brings people together, and jazz is a form of music that allows musicians the chance to relax and have fun with the songs that they play, whether it’s by adding their own unique style to the song or simply by playing an upbeat version of a more classical piece. Jazz musicians get to share their music in ways that other musicians never could, by “jazzing out” with the band, playing some tunes and bringing a little bit of high culture to campus.
Rage, rage against the dying light By Jacob Daly and Jason Keller arts@uncmirror.com
One in every four women and one in 17 men will experience gender violence. UNC is a community that abhors gender violence. That’s why hundreds of students and faculty flocked to the Garden Theatre Thursday night, candles glowing in their hands. It was a show of not just support to anyone who experienced gender violence, but the continuation of an American tradition, dating back to 1978. “No More Silence, No More Violence,” was just one of the rallying cries chanted as hordes of students marched in the name of “reclaiming” the night from gender violence and abuse. With candles in hand, banners flying high and signs waving, UNC once again took a stand against violence, a tradition it’s been carrying on for 23 years now. Limiting a person’s mobility is akin to limiting their basic human rights to space freedom. In a way, Take Back The Night was about reclaiming the humanity of those too frightened by the possibility of gender violence. “I wanna be the voice for those who were afraid to speak out in our community,” said Karen Vargas, a senior double major in human services and Spanish.
Vargas was one of many to speak out at the rally. A staggering 99 percent of Assault Survivor Advocacy Program (ASAP) participants knew their attacker. One in three women experience abuse from their intimate partner. Take Back The Night and ASAP wanted these women to know that they are not alone, and not without help. The same gesture is extended to the men. Women do not exclusively share the burden of gender violence. Gardiner Tucker, Dean of Students presided over the event, and shared his personal experiences with gender violence. Tucker himself shared a personal story, as the victim of malicious stalking. One in seven men will experience violence at the hands of their intimate partner. Take Back The Night is as much about the women as it is about the men whose lives have been changed due to gender violence. “I know personally two people that are survivors of sexual assault. They were very good friends of mine. I have a very personal connection with them and I saw what it did to them, how it changed them,” said Topher Ahrens, a sophomore business management and economics double major, while marching. Ahrens was a small light in the darkness, holding his single, burning candle. Joined together with cries of “We have the power, we have the right, this campus is ours, take back the night,”

and “2-4-6-8 stop the violence stop the hate,” hundreds of students shouted as one, becoming a veritable beacon of hope to those “lost to the night.” Sororities such as Delta Zeta and Alpha Phi showed their support, bridging the gender gap with the fraternities, who marched side by side. It was not their professional ties bringing them together, it was the call to something greater, something powerful, something that would stir the embers of change, from a
small blaze into an inferno. Take back the night was a symbol and a call for the end of gender violence, but it also meant so much more than that. It was also a symbol of love, unity, understanding, peace, security and, most importantly respect. Gender violence translates into pure and absolute disrespect of the human life and human rights of a world filled with people. Respecting one another makes us proper human beings.

Taub film exposes deep familial ties By Erika Siebring arts@uncmirror.com
With the rise of the sun each morning, Cande, a man of 76, managed to get out of bed despite the pain in his body, praying to his God and marking the sign of the cross on his chest. After washing his face, he would open the gate by his home, and accept a cup of coffee brewed and strained by his wife Juana. This ritual was the epitome of Cande and the life he lived. As part of UNC’s Schulze Speaker Series, Adam Taub, a Caribbean music and Bachata dance researcher, presented his latest project to 25 UNC students and community members on Wednesday. “Juana and Cande: a Dominican Family Portrait,” filmed in January 2014, portrayed the life, values and beliefs of a rural Dominican Republic family. “This film actually evolved out of the film I did on a Bachata musician called Juan,” Taub said, explaining that his intention in this case was to focus on Juan’s parents and their family in general. Married 50 years, Juana and Cande lived in a community of rickety, wooden houses with dirt floors and dogs, chickens and cats wandering around freely. Juana explained that after falling in love at age 16, her father jokingly told Cande to stop partying so much, and their love eventually grew into a family of 15 kids, and grandkids to boot. Juana and Cande passed on strong values to their children, including gratefulness. Juana maintains the importance of being accepting of whatever God gives them, explaining she’s content in a wooden house and doesn’t need one made of concrete; she also taught to her children that craving material things is greedy and artificial. Cande firmly believed that the only thing of value to a person is honor and being honorable, further stating that he was “alive although skinny,” and happy to be in the position he was in. Even at his age, Cande still enjoyed Bachata dance; whenever he wasn’t working, he was dancing. Education and health also had their place in the family, but in a different than that of the United States. Juana’s children weren’t sent to school or the doctor, as she would make them tea if they were sick. Moreover, Juana believes her children will educate themselves in the profession they want, as illustrated by the improvisation of one child forming makeshift instruments out of a

coconut grater and can lids. UNC freshman Ally Van Dyke explained she’d be open to living in a culture like that of the Dominican Republic. “I’ve been a lot more structured and a lot more school focus,” Van Dyke said. “I think their focus on feeding children is similar to mine.” The music business major also observed a difference between the culture of the Dominican Republic and culture of the United States. “It’s a lot more agricultural and working within the family, working from home,” Van Dyke said. “In the US, we’re kind of all over the place all the time.” That focus on community,and family-oriented living, came to a head at the end of the documentary, when Cande passed away due to cancer. Juana had said earlier that while one can control birth, one can’t control death, and Cande had found out about the cancer only a few days before he died. The family repainted their home yellow with white trim for the memorial service, where everyone from their community came to celebrate Cande’s life.
After the film itself, the audience gave Taub their feedback, answering questions of what added or detracted from the film, what character the audience related to, and what the film’s target audience might be. When asked if he’s seen the family since the funeral, Taub said he’d seen them multiple times, and shared how Juana’s been getting along. “There’s always a grandchild sleeping with her, she’s never alone in bed that I’ve seen,” Taub said. “The family won’t let her be alone. There’s always kids staying in the house now.”

The University of Northern Colorado kicked off the 2016 season against Otero Junior College and Trinidad State Junior College in a pre-season matchup on saturday morning at the Butler Hancock Softball Fields. The Bears are hoping to have a turn around year after going 9-33 last season. Northern Colorado has several new faces around the dugout both on the roster and on the coaching staff. Travis Owen was hired in early august as an assistant coach and knows what it takes to help turn around a struggling squad. Owen comes from Radford University, where he helped the Highlanders achieve a 23-win improvement from the previous season, a mark that was top amongst all Division I schools. During Owen’s tenure at Radford, Owen helped the Highlanders to multiple statistical improvements, including a conference-leading 77 doubles, an ERA improvement from 6.66 to 2.90 and a jump from ninth to fourth in the Big South Conference in both fielding percentage and runs scored. With Owen’s help, the Highlanders also set a program record with 612 assists on the season and finished the year with 35 wins, climbing 96 spots in the RPI rankings.

Bears volleyball takes down North Dakota By Chris Bolin
sports@uncmirror.com
The Northern Colorado volleyball team swept North Dakota Saturday to pick up their first Big Sky win of the year. During the first set, setter Ashley Guthrie became the sixth player in UNC history to record 4,000 career assists. “It is an awesome accomplishment, I didn’t really know I was getting close to it,” Guthrie said. “It is just a testament to the teams I have been on. I have been surrounded by some really talented players from my freshman year on and they have just really helped me build my confidence through the years. Being a setter is really weird, because you have to rely on others for the stat. It’s an awesome accolade, but it’s all because of the teammates I have been with.”

In the first set, North Dakota’s team got out ahead 8-3 early after a 6-0 run before Head Coach Lindsey Oates called a timeout and changed the momentum. After that, Northern Colorado fought back, going on a 7-2 run to tie it at 23 before finally taking the set 26-24. “At that first time out I challenged the team with effort. I thought we were getting outworked. We were thinking too much, which is good we were thinking about the scouting report, but we weren’t going to play our best doing that. We had a higher sense of urgency after that,” Oates said. In the second set, the tables were turned as the Bears got out to the quick start to force a North Dakota timeout. UNC was ahead by as much as eight before North Dakota answered bringing the score to 22-17. However, they were unable to finish the rally as Northern Colorado closed out the set, going up 2-0. It was more of the same in the third set as the two teams split

the first 10 points before UNC took seven of the next eight points to take the set and get their first Big Sky win of the season. In that third set, the back row defense really stepped up as Makenna Meier and Kourtney Lockey had 15 digs between them. The Bears’ front line was also big, helping them double North Dakota in blocks, 10-5. “We played back row defense pretty well, I thought a lot of that was attributed to our block. Our block was significantly better today. Even when we didn’t get a stuff block, it was a predictable ball for our back row defense, which was maybe what we didn’t have the other night,” Oates said. Thursday, the Bears will travel to Cheney, Wash. to play their first Big Sky road game against the Eastern Washington Eagles before going to Moscow, Idaho Saturday to take on the Idaho Vandals. The next Bears home game will be Thursday, Oct. 6 against Portland State. That game will kick off a four game home stand.
