As technology continuesto revolutionize the waypeople go about their dailylives, Steven Seegel empha-sized the importance ofmaps and the stories theycan tell.
“Mapping Europe’sBorderlands” is the secondbook from the AssistantProfessor of History at theUniversity of NorthernColorado, and it was recent-ly published through theUniversity of Chicago Press.
“It started as my disserta-tion at Brown University in2001, and it was finally pub-lished in 2012,” Seegel said.
While at BrownUniversity, where Seegelearned his master’s andPh.D. in Russian andEuropean History, heworked in a city andcounty library that had acollection of national andinternational maps andatlases, fueling his inter-est in the subject. Itinspired him to start workon what would eventuallybecome his books.
His first book, “UkraineUnder Western Eyes,” waspublished in 2011 byHarvard University Press.
Seegel said he not onlyhopes his book will be usedby fellow academics and ingraduate school classroomsbut also by those who haveever taken an interest inmaps as he has. Even some-one who has used MapQuestor Google Maps might thinkabout the tool in more depthby reading Seegel’s book.
“My goal is to get you toask what that map is for,”
Seegel said.Maps are aids, but Seegel
explained they also contain alot of information about pol-itics and history. His bookexamines when the UnitedStates went from an isola-tionist power to one that wasinvolved with Russia.
Seegel said his bookargues for a long historicalknowledge of European his-tory, while a commonassumption is that the storyof U.S. involvement inEastern Europe starts withWorld War II. Some majormoments in the historyinclude the 1919 Paris PeaceConference, the 1848 revolu-tion in Central Europe,Russia becoming an empireand Poland-Lithuania dis-solving and being removedfrom the European map.
The book utilizes maps in
eleven different languages,including some maps thatwere previously held undercommunism.
“The book is the firstbook produced in NorthAmerica — by someone liv-ing permanently outside ofRussia — using Russianmaps from the 18th and19th centuries,” Seegel said.
The book has been wellreceived by academics fromvarious universities, andSeegel is already back at workwriting for his third project.
“It’s a study of six geogra-phers in six different coun-tries and it’s called ‘MapWars,’” Seegel said.

Across the nation, especiallyin towns like Greeley, youngAmericans have dreams of mov-ing to lands far, far away.Classically, San Diego, Portlandand New York City are top onjust-out-of-college hopefuls’lists of magical places. Small-town fish pursuing New YorkCity imagine a sea overflowingwith opportunity, fashion and alittle less dung.
However, when they getthere, they find grimy streets, athree-to-one homeless person-working person ratio and . . .tornadoes? That’s not to sayNew York City doesn’t offer aplethora of internships, five-
story department stores andglittered people — aside fromNew York City’s one-in-fivepoverty rate — Manhattan,Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronxand Staten Island pull for one ofthe greatest diversified cities inthe world. Furthermore, as new-born adults prepare for NYC,they should also prepare forsomething they thought wouldbe left in Kansas: tornadoes.
As the Mayans predicted, theend of the world commencedthis Saturday when two torna-does invaded the one and onlyNew York City. According toCNN.com, ominous cloudsturned into threatening ones, a
waterspout formed in theAtlantic Ocean and that water-spout decided to jump onshoreinto Queens. According to resi-dents of the borough, “It literal-ly looked like The Wizard ofOz,” as the tornado bullied treesand power lines to the ground.
The funnel stampededthrough 600 yards before boringitself, but not before the build-ings in its path were left withminor injuries. A second torna-do of equal potency was con-firmed in Brooklyn at around11:30 a.m., according to theNational Weather Service.
Although flying cows andsevere winds are not what
wannabe New Yorkers imagine,tornadoes in the boroughs arenot unheard of. Three torna-does pummeled through NewYork City in 2010, and in July ofthis year, three people werekilled during heavy storms inthe northeast United States.
It seems life in the concretejungle is not as hunky-dory as‘Sex and the City,’ but more of ahybrid between ‘The Day AfterTomorrow’ and ‘The DevilWears Prada.’
Consequently, as thosesmall-towners wave goodbye toMom and Pop, they had betterbe prepared to say hello to evenbigger nuisances.
Life’s not always glamorous in glamorous places
When I first heardabout an elemen-tary school boy
being sent home for wearing aPeyton Manning Broncos jer-sey, I was quite irritated.
I have no problems withanyone wearing any sports jer-sey, nor have I ever heard ofany problems involving them.All throughout my time in theJefferson County Public Schoolsystem, I had never encoun-
tered a rule which banned jer-sey numbers on schoolgrounds. I decided to researchthe subject a bit so I was moreunderstanding of the situation.
In Greeley, the numbers 13,14 and 18 are affiliated with localgangs. Some Weld Countyschools do not allow sportsclothing with certain numbersbecause of this. Even the num-bers reversed on a jersey are notallowed so as to protect students.
The school district is tryingto cut down gang influence onschool grounds and preventconfrontations. I have no prob-lem with that, as gangs clearlyare not beneficial extra-curric-ular activities for children.
However, the idea that somechildren cannot support theirfavorite players or teams incertain ways does upset me.
I’m mostly upset that gangsare this prominent in Greeley. Ifeel that the police shouldfocus a little less on bustingunderage drinking and moreon the gang problem inGreeley.
Although I understand wherethe schools are coming from, Ican’t help but feel sorry for theyoung boy who wore the jersey.I’ve read that he stated thatPeyton Manning is his hero. I wishthat he could support his hometeam’s new star quarterback atschool with his friends but, sadly,
that is not the case. Thanks to the violent reputa-
tions of various Greeley gangs, this8-year-old boy cannot wear a jer-sey with the number 18 on it. Therule that the local school districthas put in place has noble inten-tions. Other districts with similarproblems have also taken precau-tionary steps to avoid gang relatedviolence, and I respect that.
No matter how much wecriticize or applaud theschools, though, does notchange the fact that the situa-tion is still quite a shame.

September 5, 2012
The day begins with a5:30 a.m. wake-up, an unfor-tunate circumstance consid-ering my alarm is set for 6:30a.m..
I reluctantly decide Ineed to get up. I double-check my luggage and triple-check my documents.Confident that everythinghas been accounted for, myanxiety soon gives way toanticipation.
In nine days, I will beembarking on a semesterabroad in Prague, the histori-cally endowed capital of theCzech Republic, but first Itake a short detour to themore avant-garde thorough-fares of New York City, whereI hope to diminish a consid-erably long pre-departure to-
do list necessary for securingmy student visa.
September 6, 2012My first two days in New
York reveal that the over-whelming bustle of the bigcity multiplies significantlywhen you have spent thepreceding month living andworking on an organic veg-etable farm in rural upstate.
On Bleecker Street, Istumble upon the CoffeeBean and Tea Leaf, discover-ing that it offers both thequiet atmosphere and cheapcoffee I am seeking. I settleinto a plush seat in the backof the shop and review mydreaded pre-departure to-dolist.
Close Wells Fargoaccount, check; Open a newaccount, check; Get duplicatepassport, check; Get insur-ance policy translated, notchecked. As part of the appli-cation process , I amrequired to submit a certifiedCzech translation of myinsurance policy.
After an hour of Google
searches and stress-inducingphone calls, my best optionis a translation agency onLexington Avenue. Much tomy dismay, the agency can-not see me until Monday.
I struggle with the stressthat comes from acquiring astudent visa at the lastminute; nonetheless, I lookforward to a leisurely week-end before returning to thecity Monday.
September 8, 2012:I decide to spend my last
weekend stateside attendinga beer and music festivalwith an old friend. The LongIsland weather forecast isbleak, but the Beer FieldsMusic Festival is a welcomefinale to a long week.
At night’s end, I am fullyrelieved of the stress. OnMonday, I will visit the con-sulate, and come Friday I willbe on my way.
As I close the book on myfirst week of travel, I wouldlike to remind those readingthat the stress that comeswith each new school year isas natural as the stress thatcomes with traveling. What isunfamiliar is always daunt-ing, but in time new peoplewill become old friends andnew challenges will becomeprior accomplishments andall those feelings of uneaseand doubt will cultivate theseeds of a new and betteryou.

thrilled to have the opportu-nity to be at this awesomeuniversity and to get that firstvictory today was a blessing.”
Collins’ players shared inhis excitement in the team.
“I’m so proud of thisteam, and we fought allgame, and to get that ‘W’feels great,” junior quarter-back Seth Lobato said. “I’mjust so excited for the guys,and hopefully it’s one ofmany.”
Lobato and the rest of theoffense showed what it was
capable of after being shutout against Utah more than aweek prior. The Bears rackedup 409 yards of offense andrelied on key plays by thedefense to get the offenseback on the field.
UNC had two first-quar-ter interceptions — one fromsenior safety Jordan Bibleand another from junior line-backer Clarence Bumpas —the latter of which set up theBears’ first touchdown, afour-yard rush from juniorrunning back TromaineDennis with 4:53 left in thequarter. Dennis would have 88
total rushing yards and twoother rushing touchdownsby the end of the game, a per-formance he attributed to theplay of the offensive line.
“I praise them every timeI’m on the sideline for gettingup to the ball and executing,”Dennis said. “They createdholes and they created seamsfor me. I just try to hit themwhen I see them.”
The Bears’ offense stalledfor the rest of the half, onlymanaging a field goal.Colorado Mesa got on theboard shortly before halftimewith a 44-yard field goal topull within 10-3 at the break.
UNC got a little more
breathing room when Lobatofound sophomore widereceiver Dimitri Stimphilwide open over the middlefor a 46-yard touchdownwith six minutes gone in thethird quarter. UNC added a30-yard fumble return for atouchdown from sophomorelinebacker LeilonWillingham and another fieldgoal in the quarter. Dennispaid his final two visits to theend zone in the fourth tocomplete the scoring.
“It stretched the defense alittle bit,” Lobato said of thetouchdown to Stimphil.“They were more aware ofthat we might go deep now,so that opened up the rungame. It really helped theoffense out.”
The defense also shinedwith its four forcedturnovers in the game. Alongwith the aforementionedinterceptions and fumblerecovery, an interception bysophomore cornerbackCourtney Hall in the endzone with less than 15 sec-onds left preserved the finalmargin.
“It definitely showed thatthe offseason training isstarting to pay off,” Bumpassaid. “The defense definitely
showed what it’s capable of.”For the first time since the
team’s last win, Saturday wasthe first time all cylindersclicked in the same gamewhen they were needed. Andthe team doesn’t intend onstopping now.
“It feels good to win athome, our home-opener, mysenior season,” said widereceiver Dominic Gunn, whohad 193 all-purpose yards.“We just want to continuethis and keep winning.”
The Bears’ next testcomes at Sacramento State(1-1) at 3:05 p.m. Saturday atHornet Stadium. TheHornets will enter Saturday’sgame off a 30-28 victoryagainst the University ofColorado this weekend inBoulder. Even thoughSacramento State is a Big Skyteam, the game will notcount toward conferenceplay because of the realign-ment the conference wentthrough over the summer.

Music molds The Clay Center celebrationSARAH KIRBY
A buffet of homemadepasta salads, Wing Shackwings, and delicately frost-ed desserts filled the platesof guests strolling throughthe community garden,chatting with old friendsand dancing to the flash-back beats of Leghoundssongs Saturday night dur-ing The Clay Center ofNorthern Colorado’s thirdanniversary party.
White lights wove inand out of the wooden ter-race roof, which placed awarm glow over the rows of
tables and chairs to trans-form a patio to a party forthe community of Greeley.
“I could have spent justas much on marketing in anewspaper or a magazineas I did on this party, and Istill would not have seen asmany new faces as I havetonight,” said Tim Preston,owner of The Clay Center.“The party was perfect. Thefood was great, weatherwas great, music was phe-nomenal and everyone hada great time.”
The silhouettes of clayart hanging on a chain-linkfence created a uniquelyshaped backdrop for the
local blues/funk Greeleyband, the Leghounds. Eachpiece of clay art was mold-ed and fashioned by mem-bers of Envision, a groupthat provides creative sup-port for people with devel-opmental disabilities.
Art in many of its formswas being celebrated withthe 1960s- and 70s-inspiredbeats of the newly-formedLeghounds.
UNC senior jazz studiesmajor Karl Markgraf’sutterly fast harmonicasound spit-fired notes in-between splinters of juniorjazz studies major DarylCozzi’s cymbal spanks and
chomps at the bass drum.“I try and emulate other
sounds I’ve heard when Iplay harmonica,” saidMarkgraf, who listed PaulButterfield as one of hisinfluences.“I want to incor-porate other sounds I hearfrom life.”
The snap, crackle andpop noises of The ClayCenter’s fire pit were notthe only embers adding tothe twinkling night. A shortfirework display highlight-ed the event’s celebrationwith the masterfully craftedvocals of senior criminaljustice major JonathanRuffin, singing the United
States’ national anthem tothe laid back groove ofsophomore jazz studiesmajor, Jake Batts bassslaps.
“Why wouldn’t youcome to The Clay Center ifyou know about it?” Battssaid about using the centeras a creative outlet. “Howwould you not come in andplay with clay? It’s medita-tive.”
Clay pieces by residentartist Neil Celani andPreston came in a series ofsizes, shapes, colors andglazes on display for sale.Flasks, bowls and mugswere just a few other
options that were availablefor guests to admire.
“(It’s a) great resourcefor the artist that doesn’tget to be a UNC art major,”Collette Celani-Morrellsaid. “It’s inexpensive, andit’s like a family with some-thing for everyone.”

Seven generations sewn into one gallery in libraryRYAN LAMBERT
The first day of fallalways brings a feeling ofcoolness, and the walls ofthe Mari Michner’sGallery in MichenerLibrary have alreadybegun to prepare for thechanging seasons by cov-ering its frigid walls withcozy quilts.
Aug. 27 was the firstday the gallery titled“Seven Generations ofQuilters” opened. Friday,the library was host to theopening reception of thegallery, which closes Sept.21.
This show displaysmore than 100 years ofquilting in the family.
The Friends of theUNC Libraries is the
organization behind theevent.
“The show featuresquilts made from peopleborn from 1867 to thepresent,” said SheliaBolsover, the chair of TheFriends of the UNCLibraries.
Bolsover referred toTorie Anderson, a fifth-generation quilter fromthe family on exhibition,as the “genesis behind theshow.” These two womenmet eight years ago whenBolsover joined thePieceable Friends QuiltGuild, a non-profitGreeley group thatencourages people toshare their knowledgeabout quilting.
The first quilter in thegenealogy was AnneHickman Lominick,
whereas the current gen-eration consists ofAnderson’s grandsons, Tyand Derek Kissler.
After conductingresearch on her family,Anderson discovered thather great-great grand-mother, Lominick, taughtone of her grandsons toquilt, shatteringAnderson’s idea of quilt-ing as strictly a femaleactivity.
“After that, I didn’t feelbad talking my grandsonsinto quilting,” Andersonsaid.
Both boys, avid sportslovers, were hesitant toquilt, but when they dis-covered John Deere fab-ric, they also pursued theart with fervor.
“Quilting is a big dealin our family,” Anderson
said. “If you get marriedor have a baby, we makeyou a quilt. It’s a seriousthing.”
Many of the quiltsresemble paintings craft-ed from fabric.
“I don’t really under-stand this new way ofquilting pictures,” saidfourth-generation quilterDonna White Adams,Anderson’s mother wholearned to quilt when shewas 7 years old. “It’s verycomplicated.”
Anderson’s “The StoryTeller,” for instance, is ahand-appliquéd homageto the AmericanSouthwest. The imageshows a yawning giant ina sombrero holding fourentertained children. Thegiant’s light-brown facelooks at the surrounding
dreary desert with itsabundance of cacti.
The food at the recep-tion also nodded to theSouthwest. Attendeeswere served chips with arich bean dip made withcheeses, tomatoes, sourcream and chives. Alsopresent were cookedjalapenos and thick flourtortilla wraps made with
roast beef and turkey.In all, over 50 quilts
are on display.The next library art
exhibit, “Beets, Baseballand Beyond,” will focuson the various Hispaniccontributions made inWeld County. Its recep-tion will be held on Oct. 5at 4 p.m.

The UNC volleyball teamfaced some new challengesand had its first losses of theseason during the NorthernColorado Classic this week-end at Butler-Hancock SportsPavilion.
The weekend included atough loss Friday to Tulsa anda three-game sweep fromCreighton Saturday evening,sandwiched around a four-set victory against Ball Statemidday Saturday.
Before Friday night, theBears (7-2) were undefeated,but couldn’t complete thecomeback against Tulsa.Head coach Lyndsey Oatestalked about the difficultiesthat accounted for the firstloss.
“I don’t think we startedthe match well enough, andthen you’re expected to basi-
cally sweep a team like Tulsa,and that’s going to be difficultto do,” Oates said. “I don’tthink we were prepared forthe match, which is on methat we weren’t emotionallyready.”
The Bears finished third inthe tournament and senioroutside hitter Kelley Arnoldand sophomore middleblocker Andrea Spaustat werenamed to the all-tournamentsquad.
Creighton (8-1) had aheight advantage on UNCand the Blue Jays used that totheir advantage en route totheir win (25-22, 25-21, 25-15).
“They were a good block-ing team, and we knew thatcoming in because they havea lot of size,” Oates said. “Ithought Kelley scored verywell early on, and they didn’thave an answer for it.”
The Blue Jays had seven
blocks during the match andArnold had 13 kills and a .379attack percentage.
“I had to just play free andmore aggressive,” Arnoldsaid. “It’s not going to be astraight down kill every time.”
Despite the loss againstCreighton, Kelley said shedid see a positive side toplaying a team as tough as
the Blue Jays.“(I think) being able to
play against those types ofteams that have higher cal-iber in certain areas gets youready for another team justdown the road,” Arnold said.
Sophomore outside hitterTambre Haddock also had 13kills and 14 digs in the classicfinale. Haddock said to besuccessful, the team needs toget the energy up on thecourt.
“We need to move onfrom our mistakes, but everypoint that goes down, we gotto be in it, and we got to becheering because we feed offthat energy, and we get pointswhen we’re loud and in ittogether,” Haddock said.
The Bears open up Big SkyConference play at 7 p.m.Thursday at Butler-HancockSports Pavilion when theUniversity of Montana (2-7)comes to town.

It has been a longand hard road withclose calls and big
defeats, but the UNC foot-ball team was finally able togive its leader, head coachEarnest Collins Jr., his firstwin at his alma materSaturday.
“I don’t know if there’swords to describe howamazing it feels right now,”junior quarterback SethLobato said. “To get his firstone, and hopefully one ofmany, but I’m just happyfor this team.”
Last season hadmoments when it seemedthe University of NorthernColorado just couldn’tcatch a break. The bestexample of this was in theseason finale againstPortland State. Then-seniorwide receiver PatrickWalker’s tying touchdown
was reversed after anillegal blocking call wasmade against currentsenior wide receiverDominic Gunn, givingthe Vikings a 23-17 vic-tory. The Big SkyConference acknowl-
edged later the illegal blockshould not have been calledat all, admitting Gunn waspushed into the PortlandState player.
Collins said a first win,regardless of where it wasearned, meant a lot, butthere is still something spe-cial about being able to get avictory at Nottingham Field.
“It was awesome to getthe win at home in front ofthe fans and the family,”Collins said. “It’s an awe-some deal to get your firstvictory — whether it’s by 37or if it had been by three —it wouldn’t have matteredbecause we got the victory.It’s an awesome feeling.”
Nearly 20 months afterbeing hired to shape theprogram back into the suc-cess it had in the late 1990s,the team took its first stepon the field to be what
Collins and his staff believeit can be.
Collins’ job, in a long-term sense, is to transformthe program. Finally get-ting his first win was onlystep one on the to-do list.
“This is a chance for meto come home to the placethat made me who I am,”Collins said during a pressconference after his hiring.“My mom and UNC mademe the man I am today, so Iam thankful for the oppor-tunity to come home. Ibelieve every coach’sdream is to come back andcoach at his alma materand win championships athis alma mater. I can’t wait
to get started and see whatwe can accomplish. I knowwe can do some greatthings at UNC.”
Even though it is onlythe first win, it only takesone to get the ball rolling.Collins acknowledged thewin was great but also saidhe knows there is anothergame next week and willneed to switch focus to pre-pare for Sacramento State.
For this week, though,Collins saw a different team,one that had no trouble fin-ishing plays and makingopportunities instead ofwaiting for them.
“For me, after going 0-12, it feels good to get one,”Collins said. “I’m happy tohave a victory under ourbelt, and we’re going to tryand get many more. Thekids played really hard. Iwas proud of them. Offense,defense and special teams,we struggled early, but wekept fighting.”
After the victory, theteam showered Collins withwater for the first time.
“It felt good, but they gotme,” Collins said with alaugh. “Sometimes whenyou think something iscoming, you kind of guardyourself with it, and I gotdistracted and next thing Iknow I’m getting doused.
It’s good. I would take thatany day. It wouldn’t matterhow it comes, what theweather is, because thatmeans a victory comesbehind it.”
The win for Collins isone that can be the steppingstone for the program. ButCollins said he did notreturn to UNC to win a sin-gle game, but rather to cre-ate a winning football team.
One game counts as onewin. Collins and the teamknow that. But NottinghamField was rejuvenatedSaturday, and the teamintends on keeping it thatway for the sake of them-selves, the fans, the univer-sity and, of course, theircoach that brought them all— even for a day — a littlesomething to cheer for.
“I’m happy for him,”Gunn said. “We’re going tobring him more. I’m confi-dent in that.”
