The first graduating class from Utah State University Eastern’s Law Enforcement Academy (LEO) and Basic Corrections Academy (BCO) celebrated their graduation on April 8, 2015, in the Jennifer Leavitt Student Center. Among the 12 graduates, seven were graduating from both BCO and LEO, and five were graduating from LEO. Of- ficiating the ceremony was their Director Scott Henrie, Sheriff Jeff Woods, Vice Chancellor Peter Iyere and Chancellor Joe Peterson. The graduation consisted of speeches given by Direc- tor Henrie and Captain Kelly Sparks, deputy director of the Peace Officer Standard and Training (POST) Academy. Awards were given to the gradu- ates for physical fitness, superior fitness, academic achievement and, shooting the heck out of the range. Captain Sparks began his speech with two quotes from Theodore Roosevelt. “I’ve never envied someone in my life who lived an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well,” and, “Just showing up is 80 percent of life.” One of his ending points was the poem “A Soldiers Prayer.” He said, “Cadets, move forward with courage, and may God bless you all.” The rumbling of the cadets voices when they recited their code of ethics made an eerie echo throughout the JLSC as they stood their tall- est stance. Henrie said the group started out as eight students, all of which were eager, young and enthusiastic for the chance to dedicate their lives. After multiple trials, and one ethics and integrity class, the group lost one of their numbers and was then down to seven. The graduation ceremony had 11 attending, with one unable to attend for a total of 12 graduating cadets. Among these were Kenneth Casey Alton, Erik Buchmiller, Ryan J. Crary, Andrea Haight, Na- than E. Hepworth, Zachary H. Palocios, Richard O. Pendleton, Michael Ray Perry, Aaron M. Powell, Justin W. Sherman Derick Anderson and Meranda Rose Turner. One of Henrie’s most memo- rable classes was a Saturday when the class trained at the Fred House Corrections Acade- my and visited the Draper prison for a hands-on experience. The hope was that they would learn how to remove someone who doesn’t want to be removed from a cell, and how to handle themselves in unknown and random situations. Needless to say, the cadets were a bit fright- ened, but handled themselves in a most professional matter with, “nervous smiles.” Finally the night ended with refreshments and the presenta- tion of bullets which had the cadets’ names engraved on the side to signify that the only person who held their lives in their hands was themselves. Nathan Hepworth, the class president said their main duty was to, “die of old age.” As the 2015 fall semester approaches, student fees are looking to be similar to the previous year’s prices, but with a slight increase. The previous year, fees totaled to $235. This upcoming year’s fees are set to have a $15 increase, totaling to $250. To evaluate students fees, four ESA students, along with advisor, Evette Allen, make up a commit - tee where they hold meetings to discuss applications for department funds and determine what is needed. The finalization of student fees is a process that goes on over the course of a few months. The ESA student committee begins holding meetings in November and December. Their busiest month is January, where they meet once every week to organize and decide what needs are most necessary and whether money should be applied there. The student committee must have their work sent over to the budget committee by Feb. 1, where Vice Chancellor Greg Dart and a team of others make the final decisions where they will either approve or appeal the request for fees. For the Price campus, the total will be $250. The amounts for each category that make up that total include: building fees $55, institutional support $25, student services $62.75, athletics $37, and EUSA $70.25. Each category had some departments that had slight increases and decreases. All of the fees are basically going to the same places, and the amounts have hardly changed. The reason for the $15 increase is, “because of the student center bond” says, Allen. Last year, the fee for the Student Center Bond was $38. This year, that amount has increased by $17 and is now $55.

  • U.S. and foreign relations have always been a point of scrutiny for civilian and military personnel alike. When working with local nations in a country in which there is a conflict, there is always cause for concern. But when people in Congress, who have never had boots on the ground, start making decisions about what goes on in country, things get a little hairy.

    Recently, on a Forward Obser va t ion Base i n Afghanistan, a soldier was killed when shot by a member of the Afghan National Army. The FOB housed both American and Afghan forces.

    In the last 10 years, the military has done numerous m i s s ion s w i t h lo c a l

    nationals. Relationships with allies in the theater of operations is essential to the fight. That being said, multiple incidents occurred in both Iraq and Afghan theaters. In 2007, officials from the Department of Defense conducted a study, matching the serial numbers of the rocket-propelled grenades deployed against U.S. forces and those given to the Iraqi Army by the U.S. It was found that nine out of the 10 RPGs used to harm coalition forces were actually provided by U.S. forces.

    Upon further study of the nature of the supposed fratricide, it was discovered that Iranian-terror groups were signing up for the Iraqi Army, receiving the training and using the tactics and weapons to fight coalition forces.

    T he sa me i s now happening with the Afghan

    Army. Insurgents are acting as double agents and infiltrating the ranks of allied forces and using the weapons and tactics to their advantage.

    Sold iers a re being wounded and dying because Congress is worried more about the popular opinion and reelection than soldiers lives. The ANA attack on American forces in Afghanistan is just another of attacks that American soldiers have to deal with since the genesis of this Global War On Terror.

    When will congress decide that its enough? When will congress start g iv i ng a d a m n a b o u t t h e men and w o m e n

    Its hard for many people to believe that once upon a time I had no friends and had a hard time talking to people in a meaningful manner. The time I spent in high school was spent securing my passage to college rather than interacting socially with people. When I got to college, I found myself in a predica-ment; I had no idea what to do when I wasnt focused on the future.

    I will admit that my first year at USU Eastern was one of the most difficult of my life. In a way, I was lost. I didnt know how to success-fully befriend people or how to stay away from home for longer than a week or two. I wish I could say that I thrived at college, but the truth is that I struggled; a whole lot. Im even embarrassed to admit that my first week away from home, I cried myself to sleep every night.

    I missed my mom, my stepdad, my brother and my dogs. Somehow I found it in myself to push through and am glad I did. If I hadnt pushed through and decided to go home like I wanted to, I wouldnt have made the friends I made nor would have matured into the confident 20-year-old I am today.

    Lets take a step back and take a look at the person I was when I first stepped on USUEs campus. You cant compare who I was then to who I am now. I embodied the word awkward; from frizzy hair to the way I held myself. If I hadnt had a roommate who convinced me to audition for a play on campus, who knows where I would be.

    USUE has taught me valuable lessons that will help me through the rest of my life. I want to thank professors like Corey Ewan

    and Susan Polster for taking a personal in-terest in my life and helping me get through some of the worst spots in my life. Thats the benefit of going to Eastern; the professors actually care about you. Its not something they tell you just to recruit you, its actually true. These people care for you and I. Thats something thats truly remarkable to me.

    The people I have bonded with on cam-pus these last two years will have a lasting impact on me. Terry Johnson, Darrin Brandt and Sharon Jones only being a few of the people that helped me and taught me how to succeed in life on my own. It amazes me that I was not only able to stay away from home

    for two years, but succeed in many different things during my time at Eastern.

    Now its time for me to move on and its bittersweet to leave Price for different adventures. Although I love USUE and the people here, I know that I cant stay here

    forever. So now its time for me to embark from Eastern and experience what the world has to offer.

    I wont do this without leaving a little advice for the people I leave behind and the future students of USUE. The advice is simple and I hope you heed it; dont be afraid to be who you are. I spent years hiding who I am from the world and missed out on things because I did so. USUE taught me that I can be who I am without fear of being judged. I can cut my hair short and dye it purple. I can wear what I want and hang out with who I want. This was the hardest lesson for me to learn and am glad that I am leaving USUE having learned it.

    Spongebob references aside, Ive learned a lot in my two years at USU Eastern. Some lessons have been life-changing; others a bit more how do I put it? Ah, anti-climactic.

    Ive experienced a mass of those not-so-important lessons at USUEso many, in fact, that listing them all would take up the entire viewpoint page. So rather than take an eternity describing all of them, Ill share my favorites. Some may seem obvious, especially for a college student, but all were lessons I didnt understand until attending this school.

    No. 1: if theres a popular song you cant stand, its going to be played at the next dance. And on the radio. And anytime you feel like listening to something that doesnt make you want to flip a table over. Theres no avoiding this. The more you hate a song, the more likely it will be played. End of story.

    No. 2: skipping class wont kill you or your grade. Unless its a teacher who marks attendance for participation or if its a class going towards your major, theres no harm in skipping class if you need it. Just like theres no shame in taking it easy when youre sick, theres no shame in taking a mental-health day.

    No. 3: you dont have to read the entire textbook. Trust me on this. Though theyll say otherwise, most professors dont use every part of the book. Figure out what part they do use and save yourself the trouble. You probably have enough homework as is.

    No. 4: nobody is going to judge you for what youre wearing or what you like. Everyones got their own problems to deal with, and theyre not in high school anymore. Making fun of others isnt their top priority. But if you do happen to run across someone whos stuck in a make-fun-of-everything-that-I-dont-like

    mentality, rest assure: theyll get their reality check soon enough.

    No. 5: general eds generally suck, but they dont last forever. Theyre rough and take up a lot of time, but the faster you get them done, the sooner you can move onto classes that count to your major. And you know, to other college things youd prefer to do, like toilet-papering the deans office. I dont know if thats actually a thing, but you get you my drift.

    No. 6: stay on top of homework. NoteIm not saying dont procrastinate. I mean, I dont condone procrastinating, but lets be honest; how many actually get those huge projects and papers done at the beginning of the semester? Two of you? Thats what I thought. Rather than

    trying not to procrastinate the big stuff, stay on top of your little projects. That way, when its time to tackle the big ones, you wont have anything else to focus on.

    And finally, No. 7: contrary to my initial belief, professors are normal people. They just happen to teach college

    classes. They arent looking to ruin your life or destroy your academic record; theyre here to help and share their passions. Theyre amazing people with a lot of talent and dedication, and theyll help if you reach out to them.

    Theres a lot Ive learned at this school. I could go on for ages talking about themand I have in previous articles. I faced hardship and trial, but overcame them to become stronger. Ive discovered the path my Heavenly Father wants me to take, and grown closer to him in the process. Ive made leaps and bounds in my skills and talents, and feel Im finally ready for the real world. So look out, Provo. Here comes SpongebobI mean Katrina.

    Gah! Curse my love for c a r t o o n references.

    What once was can be againThe recent demolition of the brick on the eastern wall of the Central Instructional Building is only due to aesthetic reasons, said Eric Mantz, associate vice chancellor of Price campus business servies. The brick wall is being torn down and rebuilt because the brick was crooked. The building is scheduled to be open on the projected date. The remodeling comes at no extra cost to the college.

    Chadwick will be gradu-ating spring 2015 from USUE with a 3.8 institu-tional GPA.

    Some of the projects Chadwick has been involved in include: Wellington flood clean up, the Goblin Valley Marathon, Cards for Troops, Bread n Soup Night, Ki-wanis Kids Day and Just Desserts Fundraiser. She has countless other projects she has helped plan and serve in over the last two years.

    I have overcome many challenges, gained irreplace-able experiences and learned more about this school and myself then I would have without this opportunity. I have put my heart and soul into this wonderful organi-zation, Chadwick said.

    Chadwick will be pre-sented her award at the 2015 commencement ceremony.

    The Val J. Halamandaris Caring Award is named for Halamandaris who grew up

    in Price, attended Carbon College, and continued his education and professional career in Washington, D.C. At both Carbon College and Carbon High School, Halamandaris was active in student activities: a repre-sentative to Boys State and Boys Nation, local and state winner of the Elks Leader-ship Contest, student body president and honor student in Phi Theta Kappa, to name a few.

    A champion of continu-ous process improvement, Cox designated the Theory of Constraints (TOC) and her SUCCESS Framework as the guiding process im-provement tool for Utah state government.

    By integrating operational excellence with the states management and budgeting practices, Cox and the GOMB team work with all cabinet agencies to achieve at least a 25 percent improvement to state government op-erations by January 2017 by focusing on quality, capacity and cost. A cornerstone of this initiative is a focus on evidence-based practices and data-driven decision making.

    Cox and her husband,

    Randy, have two sons. She says they love the outdoorsespecially hiking Utahs mountains and trails. She is an avid reader and loves being active. Some of her favorite activities include yoga, spin and boot-camp classes, skiing, and she recently paraglided at the Point of the Mountain.

    2015 Valedictorian and Salutatorian

    A business major and a basketball player have been picked as 2015s top students. Carson Tatton and Madeline Murphy will represent USU Eastern as Valedictorian and Salutatorian at the 2015 com-mencement ceremony.

    The Valedictorian, Tatton, is a Carbon County native and graduated from Carbon High

    School in 2011 with high hon-ors. He first began his journey at USUE in 2011 before leav-ing to serve a LDS mission in Thailand. After two years he returned to USUE to begin classes once more.

    Discovering his drive for business, he began to take classes to achieve his degree. A member of the schools Phi Beta Lamda business club, Tatton devoted himself to his studies. He also volunteered to help locals with their taxes with several other students. Tatton plans to continue his education at Utah State Uni-versity in fall of 2015.

    Murphy, student selected as Salutatorian, is a native to Salt Lake City and at-tended West High School.

    She graduated high school with an international Bac-calaureate diploma, as well as several advanced place-ment (AP) credits. Following high school, Murphy came to USUE to play basketball. She has been a part of USUEs basketball team for the last two years.

    Murphy plans to continue her athletic career and educa-tion at Missouri Valley Col-lege next fall. Murphys goal is to achieve a Bachelors in computer information systems. After this achieve-ment, Murphy hopes to attend medical school and become a doctor.

    Both Tatton and Murphy will be honored at the 2015 commencement ceremony.

    Slight increases in fees also occurred because of the addition of three new cat-egories. Next year USU Eastern will have a debate team. The other two departments that have been added to the fees list were child care and the multicultural association.

    Compared to many other universities across the state, USUEs fees are very low. For 2015-2016 Utah State Universitys

    student fees are $1,046.26. The University of Utahs total fees are $1,067.28, Weber State $883.32, Southern Utah University $721.50, Snow College $396.00, Dixie State $712.00, Utah Valley University $708.00 and Salt Lake Community College $438.50.

    In comparison to USUEs fee of $250.00, most other colleges around the state nearly double or triple in student fee prices.

    by 3 percent every few years, it will be nearly impossible for students to afford the educa-tion they need to succeed in the world.

    In addition to the rising tuition rate, USUE is also bumping its student fees up by $15. Students can expect only a slight difference in the price they pay next year, but should be aware of this change when planning to re-enroll.

    the second, topics included body image and body shaming; discussions on social constructions of race; substance abuse; celebrating LGBTQ friends and family; working with international students; Latinos in higher education; sex, drugs, and the harm reduction approach; gender roles and womens issues; and working with students with disabilities.

    Attendees had a variety of discussions and presentations to attend. Before choosing, however, Allen encouraged attendees to visit workshops that made them uncomfortable, telling them that being uncomfortable gives room for learning.

    After both workshop sessions, the conference gathered for lunch. During this

    time, Father Pelphrey addressed the group on cultures and the many levels they exist; such as macrocultures, microcultures, sub-cultures and so on.

    Pelphrey shared his ideas and strategies on associating with other cultures. He compared dealing with different cultures to crossing the road.Theres two things you can do at a crossroads. You can cross carefully and really appreciate crossing, or you can wreck.

    Pelphrey offered a series of steps when dealing with new cultures. First, he told attendees to stop and examine the behavior of the culture. Next, he advised them to look and pay attention to where theyre at; then, to listen and ask questions. After that, he told them to look both ways

    and meet new people. Finally he told attendees to enjoy the culture and people. In closing, Pelphrey analyzed the stages one experiences when living in a new culture. These included cultural denial/nirvana stage, cultural shock, cultural stress and cultural adaption. He ended with a positively with the importance of being kind and considerate when associating with other cultures.

    USU Easterns first annual diversity and inclusion conference featured various thought-provoking presentations and speeches. It focused on the importance of accepting and including diverse people and ideas, and opened many peoples eyes to the troubles others experience.

    they send to fight for their freedom? It seems that they are more worried about the local nationals than they are the mission and personnel driving that mission forward.

    The death of that soldier is a tragedy, but it could have been avoided by proper vetting of foreign troops. You wouldnt let a lion into a sheeps den just because it is kind of furry. It

    appears as if congress views the soldiers over there as expendable.

    The actions taken to supposedly curb the potential threat of an incident like this happening again was to separate the two armies to different sides of the FOB. The Afghan army got put in time out because they killed a soldier. Yet American troops

    are serving life sentences for mercy killings. Something smells found in the state of DC.

    Most t roops biggest complaints are that they are being restricted with what they are and are not allowed to do. There are even tales of troops having to ask permission to defend themselves when fired upon. This is synonymous to taking a cop getting stabbed

    and asking if its okay that they do what they can to stay alive and return home to their family.

    Something has got to give. The American people need to protect their own and stop worrying about the rest of the world and start looking out for themselves.

  • The occupants of Aaron Jones housing have been waking up to a woodpecker drilling a hole into the side of the building this semester.

    Courtney Honeycutt and Alisa Lopez are roommates that share the room that the woodpecker has been drilling a hole into.

    [Honeycutt] She was in our room all alone and it

    started pecking, so she called me in and said Theres some-thing living in our wall! Lopez said.

    At first, the roommates considered whether or not it was a ghost. They then thought someone from the second floor was banging on the walls. They did some investigating and learned that almost the entire section of their building could hear the banging.

    Eventually they figured out it was a woodpecker drill-ing a hole into the side of the building. The RAs of Aaron Jones dealt with the situation by boarding the hole up so the woodpecker would leave, and it worked.

    Every morning at 7 a.m. it would bang on the wall and

    wake us up. So we started banging back to get it to leave, Lopez said. The bird was bothering the occupants

    of Aaron Jones for a week, but ever since they patched it up the woodpecker has not returned.

    USU Easterns Theatre depart-ment is in its last rehearsal for their last play of the semester, Cinderella: a Fractured Fairy Tale.

    Although this production is not quite the story you may be used to, this Cinderella will introduce new characters, special effects, a happy ending, and audience interaction and participation.

    Professor Corey Ewan directs the play along with Marki Kazebee as stage manager, Aaron Bone as assistant stage manager and Brent Innes as technical director. Members of the cast include: Mckylin Rowe AJ Brimley, Bethany Prettyman, Bright Ostergar, Camie Jones, Chloe Clarke, Christopher Palo, Christine Redford, Donnie Corwin, Erica Weber and Hunter Stevenson. The cast also includes Jennifer Thomas, Jennifer Taylor, Josh Bone, Kaylee Denver, Keely Earl, Laura Bills, Liz Anvik, Mckylin Rowe, Scyler Smith, Skyler Winder, Tavery Larsen and Toby Prettyman.

    The crew began working on this play upon returning from spring break. They are holding rehearsals and getting the stage and costumes ready. Marki Kazebee holds a vital position in the crew as she is in charge of running rehearsals, keep-ing the director on task, keeping track of cast and crew and the prop list.

    As the play is airing, Kazebee calls the cues and conducts when

    the scenery should be moved. In order to move the scenery of the set in a timely manner, there is a specific person designated to each set that will move the piece when it is time.

    Kazebee personally enjoys her position as stage manager because she, Plan[s] to do this as a career and this gives me the opportunity to learn how the job works.

    Diana Cox, costumer designer, says the most anticipated scene of the play is, Cinderellas magic dress transformation. As this play has previously been done in other productions, Cinderella usually has to make a full costume change, but this team has chosen a different attempt and the dress transformation will be an illusion.

    The best part of this play is the costumes, states Liz Anvik, who plays the fairy godmother.

    Cox states this production of Cinderella is best described as, Stand up comedy meets melodrama. Mem-bers of the cast say the play is a produc-tion that all ages will enjoy. Younger children will enjoy the story and the cast says, Adults will get a kick out of it. They will be running matinees for the elementary schools on April 20-21 starting 9:30 a.m.

    Cinderella will run from April 16-18 and 20-25 at 7:30 p.m. each night, except for Saturday April 18. On April 18, to accommodate for the Carbon High school prom, they will have an early matinee show at 1:30 p.m. On Monday April 20 they will be having a family night at 7:30 p.m. with a special family admission price of $20.

    On the shoulders of giants part VII

    Dear Bridgette,Weve come to the end of these letters. It

    has been a tremendous growing experience for me to re-discover these incredible scientists who make our lives today possible and share them with you. Weve discovered the amazing world of science through the accomplishment of tremendous people who cast off the shackles of their cultures, stared head on into the abyss and undaunted, changed the world. There is so much I want for you to do in your life, but if there is anything you take from these letters, let it be this. You can do anything. No matter the chal-lenge, obstacle, prejudice, bigotry or difficulty, you have the tools to make your life amazing.

    Over the last several months I have written about five incredible pioneers, researchers, educators and motivators who through their dedication made everything we have today pos-sible, who also just happened to be women. I love telling about different scientists, from Newton to Bohr, from Darwin to Crick and everyone in between, but the reason I chose these amazing examples, I have to admit, is because of my own shameful ignorance.

    As a young adult, the only women scientists I could recall from memory were Marie Curie and Jane Goodall, terrific examples in their own right. Yet to gain an appreciation for the contribution of their gender to science and humanity, I had to look beyond their chromo-some structures and study their research. What I discovered was volumes full of women who changed their fields, not just through research, but by courage. Hopefully, if anyone decided to read our letters, they too would finally see the incredible work done and being done because of these great scientists opening the door for anyone who wishes to participate, regardless of anatomy.

    Like Rosalind Franklin, I wish for you to go through life without thought of praise, doing your work for the sake of greatness, to improve the quality of whatever it is youre doing, not for the glory of recognition.

    Like Cecilia Payne, ignore your critics, do what you know to be right, be an original. Just because something hasnt been done before doesnt mean it cant be done, which makes it that much better when you are the one to finally do it.

    Like Mary Daly, as you live your dreams, do it in a way that makes the dreams of others possible. Dedicate yourself to teach in any set-ting or field; teach others how to do things they thought they could not.

    Like Carol Greider, push through the dif-ficulties of inexperience. Be persistent and patient; learning is difficult, but knowledge is fun. Greiders greatest discovery showed us that through the stress of everyday life, it takes help from others to remember who you are and why you matter; rely on others to help you along your journey.

    Like Patricia Churchland, look beyond what it is front of you. Data can only show you so much. Be innovative, express your opinion, dont be afraid to say what you believe. Thats why its called discovery; you are the first to view something entirely new. Savor in the beauty of your imagination.

    Finally, the most important person to be like, to take inspiration from, to emulate, is yourself. Be you. Be whatever it means to be Bridgette. There is nobody better, nobody I could tell you about, no story I could share that shows all the attributes I wish I could be, better than you. As much inspiration as I take from all the great minds I tell you stories about, the inspiration I take from knowing you is the greatest gift I could ever receive.

    As we move forward, no matter the challenges we face, the places we live or the stories we make together, we stand on the shoulders of giants, facing forward looking onto a brighter future. In the end, whatever your story tells, remember, youll always be my little giant.

    -Dad

    What we learn, we become

    A flurry of activity best describes the office of enrollment services this past year as prospective high school students continue to visit USU Easterns campus.

    At the end of the first week in April, 563 students attended Eagle Experiences with 40 more students registered for the final experience this weekend. In the same time period a year ago, 295 students visited campus during Eagle Experiences.

    Campus visits from high schools throughout Utah has skyrocketed with 1,207 touring campus in 2014-15.

    According to Jessica Prettyman, enrollment services assistant, an additional 118 campus tours were given by the ambassadors to students, families and friends of prospective students, netting almost 3,000 in prospective student numbers. With these numbers, it is the hope of the enrollment team that between 1,200 and 1,400 students will choose USU Eastern to attend next fall.

    According to the Director of Enrollment Services Kristian Olsen, When prospective students come on our campus, they fall in love with the place. They fall in love with the people who work here and the students who attend USU Eastern.

    The one constant remark we hear from students visiting our campus is how warm and inviting everyone is here. They feel like people really care for them and their educational goals, which is true.

    At USU Eastern we care as much about our students, success as they do. Thats what makes this campus special. And students feel that passion. Which is why we have worked hard to get 3,000 plus students to come visit the campus this year.

    Woodpecker causes havoc at Aaron Jones

    Do you prefer this Sherlock or other renditions of Sherlock?

    J: I enjoy this Sherlock merely because he stays true to the books. One cannot deny Robert Downey Jr. though.

    S: I prefer this one and the movies with RDJ. I must read the books.

    What is your favorite part of the game?

    J: Definitely the ability to come to your own conclusion. There isnt one end point, but several.

    S: Looking around for clues. Good exploration in a game is a wonderful thing.

    What is the one thing you would change about the game?

    J: There are little ticks in the game me-chanics that drive me crazy. It almost makes you dizzy sometimes to play the game.

    S: An option to write down clues instead of letting the game make all the connections for the player. Automatic logic makes the game one big fetch-quest.

    What do you think of the various characters? Any changes youd make?

    J: I enjoy them quite a lot. They seem rather true to the characters in the book.

    I think the only thing I would change is Lestrade; hes rather 1-D.

    S: I wouldnt change a thing. The charac-ters are interesting, and their body-language tells volumes about their intentions.

    RatingsGameplayJ: 4 stars. There are several cases included

    and it provides for hours of gaming. Its intriguing and I have a hard time putting it down until I finish a case.

    S: 4 stars. Walking around and check-ing sources is realistic. The backtracking reignites my PTSD from Metroid, though.

    Story/PlotlineJ: 4 stars. There isnt any overlying plot,

    but the individual plots in the cases are interesting and engaging.

    S: 4 stars. Story? Singular? Nope! Theres lots of individual stories, and I like that. The cases arent linked in any way, as far as I know.

    Game MechanicsJ: 3 stars. As I said earlier, some of the

    game drives me insane, but for the most part its pretty solid.

    S: 4 stars. As much as the whole fetch-quest thing bugs me, the game does a great job portraying Holmes character and skills.

    The mini-games range from fun to not very well thought through.

    MusicJ: 2 stars. I honestly cannot recall any

    music from the game. Obviously it made no impression.

    S: 3 stars. Theres not always music, but when there is, its background.

    CharactersJ: 5 stars. Probably the best part of the

    entire game. The characters are unique and fun to interact with.

    S: 5 stars. Definitely the kind of variety I look for in characters. They really breath life into the game, with their different per-sonalities, backgrounds and ways of dealing with stress.

    TotalJ: 3 stars. Not one of my favorite games

    but I enjoy sitting down and playing it. Im not sure that its a game I would buy for very expensive, but definitely one I would for a cheaper price.

    S: 4 stars. Great characters, detailed environments, fun gameplay and so many strange, quirky things that are possible. But again, its a backtracking fetch-quest akin to Metroid.

  • Charles Yang, an inter-national student from South Korea who loves to travel, loves the scenery around Price and the journey of becoming a better person.

    Yang loves music, but after rupturing his left ear twice, now has a sensi-tive ear. The first time he was swimming and an-other swimmer accidentally kicked him in the ear. He is now unable to go into deep water, and loud music bothers him.

    Yang has one older brother that he enjoys be-cause he is, nice and he sometimes gives me money.

    One of Yangs favorite things to do is work out and travel He likes to go to Peru because of the culture, people and food.

    Even though Yang enjoys traveling to Peru, his dream vacation would be to travel to Europe.

    The craziest thing he has done was when he was in the South Korean Army and jumped out of a helicopter. It is scary because some people die or get hurt, Yang said. He

    came out with no injuries and made it safely to the ground.His friends, family and acquaintances love his positivity

    about life. When he first sees or meets someone, he realizes their personality.

    Yangs biggest change in his life is coming to America. He has had the opportunity to come to school and get an education. This is the biggest change because he had to make new friends and his family is not here. They are all still in South Korea. It has helped him become more independent and helps him want to be a better person and to pursue what he wants to be.

    The biggest role model in Yangs life is his father because his father is a grown man and still wants to learn new things like English and guitar. He has been a great example to Yang.

    The best advice that Yang has been given is to not look back. Go forward. Dont stop.

    When Yang was younger he was roller skating and fell. He hit his head and cut it. He had to get eight stitches which gave him his biggest scar.

    Yangs favorite thing about Price is the scenery of the city and around the city, the mountains and the quiet atmosphere. His least favorite thing about Price is the quietness because he is used to a noisier atmosphere. It depends on his mood.

    Yang wants to major in business and become a marketer when he finishes college.

    The biggest regret of Yangs life is forgetting his parents birthdays. He loves them and wants to make them happy, and feel loved.

    The super power that Yang would want to most is invis-ibility. His favorite is color green and favorite kind of food is Asian food. He also loves the rice.

    Art shows at museum and Eastern

    When the average person hears the word art, they usually think one of two thoughts: beauty or boring. Many people, however, do have a concept of beauty, no matter who we are, no matter what walk of life we travel. An archeologist might find beauty in a well-preserved fossil specimen. A gamer might see beauty in the way plotline and gameplay flow together, regardless of graphical rendition. An athlete could be part of a strategy that they would describe as beautiful for its efficiency and fluidity.

    Pen Brady is an artist in the traditional sense. Her painting style is strongly influenced by tribal designs originating in the Pacific Northwest, and she works with vibrant acrylic and India inks. Her art focuses on wildlife, the inspiration for each piece coming from flowers, ants, peacocks, otters and a variety of other flora and fauna.

    Bradys stylistic and elegant painting collection Form Re-visited is on display at the USU Eastern Prehistoric Museum upstairs gallery, and will remain through May 22.

    An excerpt from the introduction plaque in the gallery reads: The use of line and solid shapes reveal aboriginal art roots that informed and became her muse. Within each painting she tries to capture the grace and beauty inherent in all living creatures to offer a visual experience and a celebration of life.

    Who wants to start their own business? Who wants to rule their own destiny? Who wants to say how much they make, how many hours they work, when they work and what that work is? If you have answered yes to any of these, you may just be a perfect candidate for being your own boss.

    There are some major benefits to being the boss and a lot more responsibility too. How does one get to be the boss? That is a legitimate question with as many answers as there are professions and jobs. In summariz-ing the last four articles I have written, I will help answer this question. There are many steps to becoming an entrepreneur, and the first one starts with the individual. The first step is desire, accompanied with this is faith and persistence.

    With any dream, wish or goal comes great desire. This desire is more than a mere want. It is the longing, urging, driving force within the mind that helps anyone reach their wants. This desire is a determination, a seedling that has the potential to grow into a gigantic oak, a dream waiting to be turned into a reality. This is a want (or need) that gets put into action.

    Accompanied with this is faith. This is such a belief and emotion that captivates the mind; an influence that reassures the mind of the possibility of reaching ones dream. A source of fuel that strengthens desires in all stages of work. Faith is a promoting, empowering substance that excites the mind and fortifies the desires into realities. It is an action agent.

    During this time of pondering ones de-sires, plans and goals are set up to obtain the dream. Here is the time of test, the proof of the maker. Here comes the make or break time when all the plans are made and put into action. As always, everything cannot be planned for. Setbacks happen, plans dont always work and sometimes life comes crash-ing down hard. These are all okay.

    These let downs and hard times are not a waste, nor complete failures. Oftentimes these are teaching moments where one can learn what has worked and what hasnt from

    their own experiences. Oftentimes it is after the setbacks that miracles happen. Just before the miracle is something, anything, ready to trip up the boss in the making. This is the time to hang in and fight the good fight. For this fight will teach the brave entrepre-neur much about life and how to handle the puzzle pieces.

    This hanging in there is being per-sistent and is probably the greatest thing anyone can do to make their dreams come true. Keep the fire alive, reminding ones self what they wanted and why is a great practice that refuels their original desire. Seek higher help when in lifes lows. This could be friends, successful people, books, literature and/or God. There is much out there against anyone trying to make a difference, but there is much more for anyone trying to make that difference.

    The last thing to add here is the need for discipline. Set goals and make plans, then stick to them. This doesnt mean plans cant or wont change. This means that the active entrepreneur wont slack out of laziness or premature celebration and not spend the time where it is needed.

    I will tell you right now that anyone who applies these keys of success, which is desire, faith, persistence and discipline, and keeps applying them can and will have the successes they dream of having. The world is at our fingertips. Our minds can create so much good, which will bring lasting happiness, joy and experience. All anyone has to do is take a leap of faith and try an experiment.

    I know this works because I am living proof of using these keys and trying them out in my own business. I own Malan Planetariums and right now it is in its late infancy. When struggles come and I have been tripped by that awful monster called temporary failure, I look at what I am doing and design a new plan wherewith I can obtain my dream. As long as I feed my desire and have real emotions from my faith that I can make this work (this is practicing persistence), then I succeed. I am still here and the American entrepreneurial spirit is still here. Never give up. I applaud all those who wish and strive to make a difference.

    This is the end of the series of articles that were written to help anyone gain their dreams.

    Lockers for rent in Easterns LibraryNeed a secure place to store your books, jackets or backpack

    on campus when not needed? The USU Eastern Library has lockers available for students to rent to solve the problem of trying to carry everything to every class, every day.

    According to a campus-wide email, lockers rent by the semester: $10 for small, $15 for large. The locker sizes are 15-inches wide, 21-inches deep and 24-inches tall for the large lockers; 18-inches wide, 21-inches deep and 12-inches tall for the small lockers.

    Many academic libraries offer lockers for students, and when we started finding students textbooks stashed in our stacks we decided it was time for lockers in our library too, Sherril Shaw, cataloging librarian said.

    The fact that students would take the chance of their ex-pensive textbooks being stolen rather than carry them around all day told us it was time to give them a secure place to keep their belongings. I spoke with a couple of libraries who had lockers to find out their experiences and I found that Big Dog Lockers was highly recommended.

    I ordered the lockers back in late November and because of the holidays and the fact they are custom painted just for us, they didnt arrive until Jan. 26. The company was great to work with. Once they arrived on campus, John Zmerzlikar and Austin Preston hauled them to the library and installed them. Scott Madsen helped get them up the stairs which was not easy.

    If you are tired of carrying your books or jacket all over campus, this is a good solution, wrote Shaw in an email.

    She reminded students that the library just started checking out laptops this semester. We have two Macs and two Dells that are available for student use. They checkout for three-hour increments and can leave the library during that time.

    Deciding whether or not to continue on with athletics after a leaving a junior college is a hard decision. Many athletes at Utah State University Eastern decided to continue their athletic careers at a college or a university.

    For womens basketball, six are fur-thering their careers. Bryanna Adams is attending Colorado Mesa University, Jamie Smith is attending Southern Utah Univer-sity, Maddie Murphy is going to Missouri Valley College, Jessica Anderson is going to Montana State University Northern, Lejla Hadzialijagic is attending Adams State and Carol Ficher is going to Southern Arkansas University.

    The mens basketball players are still deciding where they want to go. Marcelo Ruediguer is still deciding, but his top pick is Chicago State University. Juwan Moody is going on a visit to his top pick, the University of Texas San Antonio, before making his decision, and Nathaniel Wright has made a decision to sign with Western State Colorado. All other players are still making their decisions, but are hopeful of continuing.

    For mens baseball, only one player has decided on where he will be going next year, while others are still considering whether or not they would like to continue or where they would like to go. Sean Hardman has decided to play at Dixie State University next year.

    For volleyball, one player is continuing; Koralys Gonzalez is going to be playing on a professional team in Spain.

    USU Eastern baseball continued their hot play over the past two weekends going 3-5 against tough conference foes Salt Lake Community College and the College of Southern Nevada. Coach Madsen said, The team has worked extremely hard and it is showing with how we have played the past two weekends. It has been a whole team effort. Good pitching, fielding and hitting against two good teams. The team did so many great things and I am excited to see what happens over the next two weekends.

    In their first series against SLCC, the offense got off to a blazing start after Austin Geurtsen and Bennett Bradford got things started with a pair of singles. Taylor Nielson plated Geursten with a double, but the Eagles werent done. Jordan Mellen and Cooper Thorpe added doubles of their own, which gave them an early five-run lead. The Eagles never looked back after that as they scored six more runs including a five-run sixth for the 11-5 win. Jayce Hill continued his great pitching as he went five and two-thirds, giving up eight hits, five runs and striking out five. Nielson went 2-4 with two doubles and Bryce Blackburn went 2-4 with a double and a triple to lead the way for the Eagles.

    The Bruins had their own offensive outburst in game two as they plated 13 runs, including a seven-run fifth inning to run rule the Eagles 13-3. The Eagles produced four hits, and the pitchers struggled to find the strike zone walking 13 Bruins. Luke Christensen went 1-3 with a triple.

    The Eagles sent Sean Hardman to the mound look-ing to bounce back from the tough loss, and he turned in a solid performance as he went four innings without allowing a run and striking out two. The Eagles hitters were able to take advantage of some miscues by the Bruins as they committed two errors in the first inning allowing the Eagles to score two runs. They plated two more runs in the third and the bullpen was able to hold off the Bruins for the 4-3 victory. Greg Money who is hitting .344 on the season led they way for the Eagles going 3-3 with a pair of singles and a double.

    The trend continued for the final game of the series as the Bruins once again run ruled the Eagles 8-0 for the series split. Bradford was solid for the Eagles going five and two-thirds allowing three runs, but the bullpen could not contain the Bruins as they were charged with five earned runs. Geursten led the way with a pair of hits.

    The Eagles then took on the Southern Nevada Coyotes and came out flat to start the series as they dropped the first game 10-1 as the hitting and pitching struggled for the Eagles. The Coyotes out-hit the Eagles nine to two in the dominating win.

    Game two proved to be the most interesting in the series. The Coyotes sent Phil Bickford to the mound, who is a projected first-round draft pick with a fastball in the mid 90s. The Eagles sent Jayce Hill to the mound, who

    has been the Eagles hottest pitcher as of late. The two didnt disappoint. Bickford shut down the Eagles for four innings, striking out nine, but exited the ball game because

    of his pitch count. Hill was able to go the distance for the complete game, scattering five hits without allowing a run. With the game tied at zero going into the bottom of

    the seventh, the Eagles still hadnt recorded a hit. Greg Money lead off the inning, getting hit by a pitch. Sean Hardman then came in to pinch-run and reached second after a sac bunt. After a strikeout, Blackburn came up with two outs and hit a slow ground ball to shortstop Cain Brady, whos throw was wide. Blackburn avoided the tag. With a heads up, base-running Hardman was able to score to give the Eagles a 1-0 victory without recording a single hit.

    Game three was another tight contest as both teams scored two runs in the second inning. The game was tight until the top of the sixth inning as the Coyotes were able to take advantage of a leadoff walk and plate one more run and take the game 3-2. Bradford was once again im-pressive on the mound, going five and two-thirds, giving up two earned runs and striking out three. Money and Geurtsen had the only two hits for the Eagles.

    Game four was an important game for the Eagles. It was the last home game of the season and the team wanted to end with a win. Down 4-0, the Eagles were able to rally for six runs scoring two in the fourth and four in the fifth to retake the lead, but the bullpen couldnt hold onto the lead as the Coyotes had a huge five-run eighth to spoil the Eagles last home game, taking the final game of the series 9-6. Sophomores Thorpe, Cooper Beck, Shaun Peterson and Blackburn all had two hits to lead the Eagles.

    Today it is common for athletes to succumb to depression after or during an injury that prevents them from play-ing their sport. Many athletes at USU Eastern experienced an injury and dealt with the frustration of not being able to play.

    People tend to neglect the fact that injuries can affect ones psychological well-being un-til depression and anx iety sneaks up on them. Questions like, How long do I have to sit out? Will I be the same player when Im back? Will I be out of shape? haunt injured athletes.

    College athletes have been playing their sport since a young age. When an injury occurs and it prevents them from playing their sport, some feel like they have lost the ability to do the thing they are best at. That feeling could lead them to depression.

    Vanessa Gomes has been playing soccer as long as she can remember and she suffered significant injuries during her career. She sustained injuries to her knee, Achilles tendon, both feet and ankles. She tore her MCL, which caused her to sit out for seven months.

    It was hard. I was scared that I was going to come back and not be the same player I once was. I felt like

    I didnt know what to do and whether to quit playing or not, Gomes said.

    Liz Johnson and Jackie Tagg, both women soccer players at USUE, de-scribed the injuries theyve dealt with over the years as annoying. I wanted it to heal quicker so I could get back into the game, said Tagg, who suffered from ankle sprains, concussions, knee problems and jammed fingers.

    It made i t k i nd of annoying to walk and you look like a wimp when you have to limp around, Johnson said. She battled t h r o u g h a d i s l o c a t e d hip and a torn adapter.

    Oh its frustrating. It

    sucks to watch everyone play and you cant do it. I became kind of depressed and it was like my passion was slipping away, Ashlyn Mathews said.

    She has dealt with many injuries in her soccer career. She had to sit out half of her sophomore season in high school due to an injury to her MCL. To deal with her depression, Mathews made sure she attended all her teams practices and games, letting them know she supported them and that she was still part of the team.

    Dont give up and dont quit on something you love, Gomes said, offering advice to athletes suffering through injuries. My injury made me a better athlete and made me ap-preciate the little things.

    Top ranked in womens singles tennis, Serena Williams is the athlete to watch this year. According to Wikipedia, she was first ranked No. 1 in the world in womens singles in July 2002, and ranked over and over until her sixth time in February 2013. She is the only female tennis player to have ever won over $60 million in prize money.

    Williams holds the most major singles, doubles and mixed doubles titles combined amongst active players, male or female. She was born in Saginaw, Mich., on Sept. 26, 1981, and started playing tennis at 3. She was homeschooled and coached by her parents, alongside her sister, Venus, who is also a high-ranked female tennis player.

    When Williams turned 9, her family moved to West Palm Beach, Fla., so she and her sister could attend the tennis academy of Rick Macci. He spotted the exceptional talents of the sisters. He did not always agree with Williams father, but respected that, he treated his daughters like kids; allowed them to be little girls. Williams dad stopped sending his daughters to national-junior-tennis tournaments when Williams was 10. He wanted them to take it slow and focus on school work.

    Another factor was racial, as he had heard white parents talk about the Williams sisters in a derogatory manner during tournaments. At that time, Williams had a 463 record on the U.S. Tennis Association junior tour and was ranked No. 1 among under-10 players in Florida. In 1995, when Williams was in the ninth grade, her dad pulled her and her sister out of Maccis academy, and from then on took over all coaching at their home.

    When asked in 2000 whether having followed the normal path of playing regu-larly on the junior circuit would have been beneficial, Williams responded, everyone does different things. I think for Venus and I, we just attempted a different road and it worked for us. Williams performed in her first professional event in 1995 at 14. She lost in the first round, winning only two games.

    Williams did not compete in 1996, and in 1997 she decided to try again. This time around, she was ranked No. 304, and upset the No. 7 and No. 4 world-ranked players, Mary Pierce and Monica Seles. Williams ended up losing to No. 5-ranked Lindsay Davenport, finishing 1997 ranked No. 99 in the world.

    Williams progressed throughout the years, and reached No. 1 in 2002, and has held steady to that title until 2003. She had a minor setback in 2003, when she had sur-gery on the quadricep tendon in her knee. Initially Williams was supposed to be out six to eight weeks, but ended up having to stay down for eight months, during which time many questioned her desire to return to tennis, dropping her world rank to No. 7. She held that rank through the next year as well. In 2005, she suffered an abdominal injury early in the year, causing her to finish the year ranked No. 11. It was her first time being ranked outside the top 10 since 1998.

    In 2006, Williams started the year strong, but later on she blamed her lack of fitness and a knee injury when she lost in the third round of the Australia Open. She sat out the following six months until she had a chance meeting with a young girl who idolizes her. When she got home that evening she watched some of her old games on tape and started to believe in herself again. She signed up to play in Cincinnati.

    On her return, Williams went on to the semifinals before losing to Vera Zvonareva. She finished the year ranked No. 95. She came into 2007 with renewed fire, and after several key tournaments, pulled into the No. 7 ranked spot in the world, reclaiming the top-ranked American spot in the world. In 2011, she moved her rank up to No. 4, and suf-fered a hematoma and pulmonary embolism at some point during the year. She did not let this injury set her back. Williams finally claimed her rightful spot as No. 1-ranked-female-singles player in the world in 2013, and has held fast to it since.

    As March Madness came to an end, the University of Connecticuts womens team celebrates their 10th national title. The Huskies ended with an almost perfect record, going 38-1. What makes this team great? They have several factors that could come into play, but one factor that remains constant is their coaching.

    Geno Auriemma, an Italian- American, is the UCONN Huskies head coach, and has been since 1985. Connecticut quickly rose to success the second Auriemma started his career. His first year was his only losing season, and they went 12-15.

    With Auriemma as coach, his teams have had five-undefeated seasons, 10 national titles and his winning percentage in his 2013 season was 86.9, which is the highest percentage among all other Division 1 active coaches.

    In 2010 he led his team to their 90th consecutive win, which is more than NCAA mens and womens consecutive wins. He has also helped his teams win 20 regular-season-conference titles and 19 conference-tournament titles. His teams have had major success in their home games, winning 70 games in a row. Villanova ended their winning streak.

    Auriemma has had some help over the years with his teams. He has taken in several All-American players and players that have gone onto play in the WNBA, and on the U.S. Womens National Basketball teams. Some of those players include Rebecca Lobo, Sue Bird, Jennifer Rizzotti and Maya Moore. Eight of his players have won the Naismith College Player of the Year, seven Wade Trophies and nine Most Outstanding Player of the Year Awards.

    Auriemmas coaching style is demanding and hard, but he focuses on developing mental toughness in his players. He never lets anyone believe they cant accomplish anything that they set out to do. By building mental toughness in each of his players, they are able to be successful as a team.

    In Auriemmas 30 years of coaching, he has won 917 games and lost 134. He has had 19 seasons with 30 or more wins, and is number six on the All-Time womens basketball coaches.

    Auriemma achieved several awards for his coaching career. He was awarded the Naismith Coach of the Year Award six times, WNCA National Coach of the Year Award three times and AP Coach of the Year award seven times. Among those awards, he has also been inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, Womens Basketball Hall of Fame and the National Italian-American Sports Hall of Fame.

    Since Auriemma has had such a great record, he was selected to coach the USAs Womens Basketball National Team in the 2010 FIBA World Championship in the Czech Republic, and the 2012 Olympic Games that were in London, England.

    With all of these awards and records, it only makes sense that his coaching and program he has created at UCONN is what makes this team successful. The players on his teams obviously are what win the games, but without his guidance and skilled coaching, the program might not be as successful.

    As USU Eastern baseball battled on the field, Greg Ashley continued to keep swinging for the Golden Eagles. Ashley is finishing out the year playing baseball and enjoying his time with teammates and friends. He was born in Sterling, Colo., and raised in Appren, Colo., with a family of six including his mother and father. He has one brother and two sisters. His favorite color is baby blue, and he enjoys Roman Noodles and drinking is Dr. Pepper.

    Ashleys favorite body feature is his mustache, while his favorite characteristic is that he is an easy going person.

    After USU Eastern, Ashley plans on going to the Uni-versity Of Wyoming and getting a degree. After college, his plans are working and starting a family.

    One thing that scares him is small spaces. He is very claustrophobic.

    Throughout the many dates Ashley has been on, his worst was he went to a decently-good Mexican restaurant

    with a girl. Once we were done eating, we got in my car so I could take her home. She started to feel sick then out of nowhere she threw up all over me and my car. I had to spend the next day cleaning up my dates vomit.

    Ashleys idea of a perfect date incor-pirates his love for baseball. I would love to take a girl to the baseball field and have a nice dinner.

    If Ashley was limited to 24 hours, he would spend his time sky-diving and rocky-mountain climbing.

    Ashley once faced total public humili-ation. I was at a water park, knee board-ing. I fell and my pants then ripped off. I sat there, pantless in front of everyone. One thing that pushes his buttons is when someone walking past him stares him down. I hate how I feel like they are just looking me up and down.

    Ashleys most victorious sports mo-ment was, regionals my senior year. I was up to bat and hit a walk off. If he could choose to live anywhere in the world

    he would live in Venice because I would get to drive my boat everywhere and I think that would be so much fun.

    A hero in Ashleys life would have to be his older sister. She has always been there for me and always helped me out when I needed it.

    When Ashley was younger, he could be described as perfect. I was an angel. I never did anything wrong. One of his hidden talents is I am great at hitting baseballs.

    His favorite memory with his team was team-bonding night, at the Thorpes. He always has a blast when it comes to bonding with his team.

    Ashleys goals for the end of his season are, I want to hit a homerun and keep my batting average about 350 percent. As the team continues their season, Ashely realizes the team is close. It makes it better for all of

    us because we get along so well. It makes practices and games a good time.

    Playing volleyball for USU Eastern 2014-15 season, Mi-chaella Crooks is looking for-

    ward to the future. Born in Mari-

    etta, Ga., and r a i s e d i n N e w n a n ,

    Ga., Crooks is 6-foot-5-inches ta l l; she can reach to the sky. She has a 21-yea r-old

    brother named A u s t i n , a l o n g

    with her father and mother, Robert and Carissa. Her favorite color is pink and she

    enjoys soup and drinks Sprite.Crooks best quality is her height.

    I like that I am 6-foot-5 inches be-cause I can use it to my advantage. I can help people get stuff off shelves at stores. It also helps me a lot with sports. Her favorite thing about herself is that she can be really goofy and fun and not care what people think.

    After this year, Crooks plans in-clude playing volleyball somewhere else, preferably somewhere in Geor-gia so she can be close to home and closer to her family. After college she, plan[s] on majoring in physi-cal education or becoming a flight attendant.

    One of Crooks biggest fears is Bees. Bees are terrifying because they chase after you.

    One of the worst dates Crooks has ever faced was when her boyfriend took her to a sushi place. It had only been our second date. We were still

    trying to get to know one another. They gave us an iPad at the restaurant and he just sat there and played on the iPad the whole time. He didnt even pay attention to me. Her dream date would be a nice walk on the beach with her toes in the sand and a drink in her hand.

    If Crooks only had 24 hours left to live, she would party it up with all her friends. Her most embarrassing moment was when [she] first got here . I was trying to get to know everyone. I went to chest bump Jasmine Coving-ton; because I am so tall, I ended up hitting my head on the corner of the doorway and it gave me a concussion. My concussion was severe enough that I had to sit out of volleyball for two months to recover.

    One thing that pushes Crooks buttons is when shes tired. Anything someone says makes me mad when I am super tired.

    The one place Crooks dreams of

    living would be in Hawaii because there are beaches everywhere. I am obsessed with the beach.

    When Crooks was young, she would scare her parents. When I was young I would always scare them. I would hide in the house and jump out and scare my mom. She would always tell me that I will scare her so bad one day, I will give her a heart attack. I still to this day scare them,

    One of Crooks hidden talents is, I am really good at making cookies, even though I burn them every time.

    The best memory that Crooks has made at USU Eastern is, one night me, Kyndall, Jasmine, Michael and Cole all pulled our mattresses into the living room, stayed up all night and just had one huge sleep over. It was a very fun night.

    Crooks has had a very eventful year at USU Eastern. Ive made great friends and have some amazing memories that I will never forget.

    Phillip Winston was born in Tacoma, Wash., and was raised by both parents in a home with three older brothers. Like many kids in America, he was raised in a tough neighborhood and throughout his life, he had to make several decisions to keep going on the right path to reach his dreams.

    Winstons father, Andre, was responsible for the passion created in his four children for basketball since their early years. Andre a was former collegiate (Salt Lake Communi-ty College) and professional basketball p l a y e r who played overseas in In-donesia. Winstons father was always involving he and his brothers with the sport. He was only 3 when he started

    to play basketball with his brothers, father and friends.Growing up, basketball was always part of Winstons

    life and he loved to compete against his older brothers. It was all about winning and never losing to them because if I ever lost, they would always throw it in my face and make jokes of me. As I look back, that was how I improved as a basketball player, Winston said.

    He had many friends who chose the easier, but wrong, way to go. In his neighborhood, Winston saw many of the friends he grew up with become drug dealers and go to jail as they got older.

    I thought I would either work hard on the basketball court to see more of the great outdoors or to not work hard and maybe end up like many of my friends, Winston stated. Both of his parents are religious and his father is a pastor. Winston believes that religion played a huge role in keeping him off the streets and helping him to make the right choices in his life.

    Recruited out of Clover Park High School, Winston

    decided to join the Utah State University Easterns mens basketball team because he thought it would be a great opportunity to play at a high level consider-ing that the Golden Eagles play in one of the nations top-three conferences in junior college. He also liked the coaches and trusted them. He thought they could help him to get better and make it to NCAA Division 1 mens basketball program.

    I believe if I keep working hard every day, doing the right things and making the best out of every opportunity that comes, I will reach my dreams and be able to play professional basketball, Winston said.

    As a freshman this year, Winston was the starting point guard for the Eagles and was a crucial part of the team. He will be back next year to try to win the conference and lead his team to nationals. He really believes that with the other returning freshman and new recruits, the Golden Eagles will have the talent and the right team to do great next season.

    Bird: basketball player and fashionista bride

    A Utah State University Eastern womens basketball player, Abbie Bird redshirted her freshman year because of a torn hamstring and played her sophomore year before another injury sidelined her.

    While Birds athletic prowess helped

    define her at Eastern, its her interest in fashion that she gets enjoyment out of. She admits she always had a flair for fashion, and ever since she was young, it has fascinated her. She modeled in Salt Lake City in high school and college.

    Bird says that she would love to pur-sue a career in modeling, but because of her approaching wedding and the closest opportunity being in New York, it isnt exactly the right thing to do in her plans.

    She found out that even at a size 4, she had to drop an inch off her waist to become a sports model and hit the gym every day to shrink her waist.

    Birds brother played football at Utah State University and is looking into the modeling business. His friend Whitney Simmons has a website, as well as a big Instagram fan base, so she is helping Bird and her brother pursue modeling careers.

    An avid blogger, Bird hopes to inspire

    other people with her fashion sense and style similat to the blog that inspired her when growing up in Salt Lake City.
