Kyleesha Weston Leaves Basketball Team, Intends to Transfer

BOULDER — Sophomore guard Kyleesha Weston will not return to the University of Colorado women’s basketball team for personal reasons, head coach Linda Lappe announced on Tuesday.

 

She has returned to her native Kansas City, Mo., with the hopes of transferring to a school closer to home.

“I wanted to be closer to my family; I felt like I would be happier here (in Kansas City),” Weston said. “I talked (at length) with my family and some of my teammates. This didn’t happen overnight. I had been thinking about it for a while when I made the decision.

 

“I still care about each one of my teammates and each one of the coaches and hope to keep a great relationship with them. I wish them the best of luck this year and for years to come.”

 

Weston played in 30 of 32 games as a true freshman in 2012-13, averaging 1.8 points and 1.4 rebounds while dishing out 20 assists and logging 15 steals.

 

She served as a back-up to All-Pac-12 point guard Chucky Jeffery and had some good moments down the stretch of Colorado’s run to the 2013 NCAA Tournament, playing double-digit minutes in six of the final seven games.

 

Weston averaged five rebounds during the Pac-12 Tournament; grabbing a personal-best six in the quarterfinal win over Washington.  She tallied a career-high eight points three times, including league wins over Arizona (home) and Utah (road).

 

“We enjoyed having ‘Ky’ at CU, but in the end the distance from home was a big factor in her decision,” Lappe said. “We wish her the best of luck in the future.”

 

A 2012 graduate of Park Hill High School, she was a finalist for the DiRenna Award as a senior, given to the top boys and girls high school basketball players in the Kansas City metro area. She averaged 18 points and nearly five assists per game, earning All-Suburban Big 6 Conference and Kansas City Star All-Metro honors.

 

Colorado is in the midst of preparing for a summer trip to Italy, Aug. 12-21, where the Buffaloes are scheduled to play four games against Italian opponents. Colorado finished the 2012-13 season at 25-7, fourth in the Pac-12 at 13-5, advancing to the NCAA Tournament for the 13th time in program history and first since 2004.

Murder investigation of CU student, Sid Wells, nears 30 years; suspect remains on the run (or dead)

August 1, 2013 will mark the 30-year anniversary of the shooting death of Sid Wells, a 22-year-old journalism student enrolled at the University of Colorado. The case received prominent media attention because at the time of his death, Wells was dating actor Robert Redford’s daughter, Shauna.

Wells had been shot in the head, and was found dead inside his Spanish Towers condo by his brother on August 1, 1983. Police suspected Wells’ roommate, Thayne Smika, and arrested him a few months after the homicide when investigators linked him to the murder. However, Smika was never prosecuted because the district attorney at the time, Alex Hunter, declined to take the case. Smika left the area and in 1986, his abandoned car was found in Beverly Hills, CA.

In 2011, the Boulder County District Attorney’s Office agreed to review the case and approved an arrest affidavit for Smika. Unable to locate Smika, police are again asking for the public’s help finding him. Investigators believe Smika is living under an assumed identity and have contacted Smika’s relatives (several of whom still live in Colorado) in attempts to find out where he is and what identity he has been using. Smika’s relatives have not provided any helpful information to the Boulder Police Department.

Deputy Chief Dave Hayes, who was one of the first detectives to investigate the case in 1983, is hoping that someone can provide information about Smika’s whereabouts. “It’s past time for justice for Sid Wells and his family,” said Hayes. “Thayne Smika escaped a first degree murder charge, and has likely been living a life of freedom while the Wells’ family has been grieving for three decades.”

Investigators are still looking for Thayne Smika and are asking anyone with information about Smika or where he might be living to contact them. Detective Tom Dowd may be reached at 303-441-3385. Those who have information but wish to remain anonymous may contact the Northern Colorado Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or 1-800-444-3776. Tips can also be submitted through the Crime Stoppers website at www.crimeshurt.com. Those submitting tips through Crime Stoppers that lead to the arrest and filing of charges on a suspect(s) may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $1,000 from Crime Stoppers.

The University of Colorado Boulder this week began offering its sustainability training and non-credit certificate program entirely online, making the option available to participants across the nation.

CU-Boulder’s Sustainable Practices Program offers seminars and two non-credit certificates in business sustainability and community sustainability. The curriculum is designed to help professionals meet the growing need for “green” skills and credentials in the public and private work sectors.

“Our programs are grounded in the quality sustainability leadership that people expect from CU-Boulder,” said program director Kelly Simmons. “We’re excited that the expansion to online opens the opportunity for participants in Colorado and beyond, giving them access to thought-leading research and practices taught by CU-Boulder faculty and industry experts.”

The Sustainable Practices Program’s online curriculum, streamlined with the help of Kevin Krizek, curriculum director and CU-Boulder environmental design professor, combines video, presentations, discussions and live student-faculty interaction. Topics range from organizational change to zero waste.

The six-week seminars may be taken individually or in a series of four to earn one of the non-credit certificates. Program tuition ranges from $2,000 to $6,500 plus a registration fee.

The six-year-old Sustainable Practices Program has offered dozens of live, location-based trainings to hundreds of participants from undergraduate students to working professionals. The program, one of the first in the nation, is managed by the CU Environmental Center in partnership with Chicago-based All Campus, a student enrollment services firm that helps universities increase the visibility of their online programs and facilitates the successful recruitment of students.

 

For more than half a century, CU-Boulder has been a leader in climate and energy research, interdisciplinary environmental studies and sustainable practices. In 2009, it was ranked the top green campus in the nation by Sierra magazine. In 2010, it was the first campus to attain a Gold rating under the Sustainability Tracking, Assessment and Ratings System. The campus has a number of LEED Platinum- and Gold-rated buildings. Also, CU-Boulder’s student-run Environmental Center, which manages the Sustainable Practices Program, is among the nation’s oldest, largest and most accomplished entities of its kind.
