More than just a head rush A student at the Wildcat Center passed out upon standing up on Jan. 21. When the student woke up, he could not recall the fall as well as some other recent events. He was transported to McKay-Dee Hospital. Knocking on windows After someone knocked on a resident’s window at University Village at about 1 a.m. on Jan. 21, the incident was reported at about 5 p.m. the same day. It is still being investigated.
Vaping life away An officer responded to an underage student vaping at the Davis Campus on Jan. 22. The individual was a student at NUAMES. The officer escorted him to NUAMES administration for them to handle the matter rather than taking police action. Stealing registration A vehicle in the W-8 parking lot was broken into on Jan. 22. The student left the doors unlocked, and their registration was missing from their glove box. The case is open for follow up.
Creepy texts A student at the Marriott Allied Health Building reported that she had been receiving texts that made no sense and was worried it was her ex-boyfriend. She reported the texts on Jan. 23, and the student and police made a safety plan for her. Loading in the nude A man approached the Shepherd Union loading dock while he was fully nude on Jan. 22. He appeared not to be in a clear state of mind, and EMTs were called to evaluate and transport.
Squatting on campus A report was made of a man in the Engineering Technology Building computer lab who was not supposed to be there on Jan. 28. He appeared to have been sleeping and left before police arrived. Then, on Jan. 29., the same man was said to have been in the Kimball Arts Building overnight and destroyed $20,000 worth of computers. He was arrested for disorderly conduct and public intoxication, then taken to the Weber County Jail. Comment on this story at signpost.mywebermedia.com

LOCAL U.S. MARSHALS DISTRICT ENCOURAGES WSU STUDENTS TO APPLY FOR NEW INTERNSHIP By FRANCISCO RUIZ Asst. Section Editor
In 1789, George Washington—then president of the budding nation—appointed 13 United States marshals: one for each of the 13 states. Now, according to the U.S. Marshals fact sheet, there are 94 marshals and over 3,000 deputy marshals across the U.S. One of those 94 marshals, along with two deputy marshals who are WSU grads, visited campus on Feb. 4. They presented the history and mission of the nation’s oldest federal law enforcement agency and hoped to inspire current WSU criminal justice students to join the tradition and ranks of the U.S. Marshals Service. About 60 students and faculty, including WSU President Brad Mortensen, were present in Lindquist Hall to learn about the service. Weber State University, with the help of Bruce Bayley, department chair, director of forensic science and associate professor, recently entered into an agreement with the Utah District of the U.S. Marshals to provide an internship opportunity with the service.
Marshal Matt Harris, who is the presidentially appointed U.S. Marshal for the District of Utah, spoke along with former WSU football legend and current deputy marshal Nick Chournos and deputy marshal Andy Desmond. Desmond took time to describe the current mission of the U.S. Marshals. The marshals are primarily responsible for security at federal courts and the protection of the federal judiciary, except for the U.S. Supreme Court. The marshals are also responsible for fugitive apprehension, witness protection, federal prisoner transportation (including the service colloquially known as “Con Air”) and the management and auction of seized and forfeited assets. The U.S. Marshals are not the agency in charge of providing air marshals for commercial flights. Desmond claimed that the marshals are exceptionally proficient in these duties. He also said that all participants in the witness protection program who follow the rules and guidelines of the marshals are perfectly safe. Chournos explained that the witness protection program is entirely voluntary, and the proceeds from the auctions of
seized and forfeited property go to the survivors of violent encounters. On the law enforcement side, Harris explained that the U.S. Marshals deal with the most dangerous, “worst of the worst” fugitives. According to Harris, the service worked closely with state and local police agencies to arrest 804 violent criminals in Utah in 2019. Furthermore, the marshals arrested fugitives with Utah-issued warrants in 18 different states and five foreign countries. On the national level, the marshals work closely with other federal law enforcement agencies, such as the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Chournos explained that the U.S. Marshals also keep track of sex offenders, especially if they move from one state to another. Both Desmond and Chournos admitted that the U.S. Marshals go into more dangerous situations than other law enforcement agencies do on average. They face more risk and bodily harm in shootouts and even hand-to-hand combat, as a result. However, they also emphasized that
each member of the group has the skills and trust to watch out for each other. “It is a brotherhood,” Chournos said. Chournos also dismissed any notion that the marshals are just a group of trigger-happy law enforcement officials. “We do not live for a shooting,” he said. “In fact, some guys retire after (a shooting incident).” He also made it clear that interns will not face any dangerous situations or street duty but will gain meaningful insights into how the U.S. Marshals and the federal court system function. Some interns may have the opportunity to accompany the local deputy marshals to shooting exercises at the gun range. Currently, the Utah District of the U.S. Marshals is limiting the internship to one Weber State student per internship period. Students who are interested in applying should contact Professor Bayley at bbayley@weber.edu. Harris invited any interested students, not just criminal justice majors, to apply. “We can teach you skills,” he said. “But we cannot teach you character or work ethic.” Comment on this story at signpost.mywebermedia.com

Mike Gevas, a semi-retired contractor, led a group of volunteers that worked on a home for a family in Ogden on Feb. 1. Volunteers from Weber State University assisted in nailing, metalworking and prepping for an upcoming inspection. Habitat for Humanity donated a lot to the project, but many in the community have contributed supplies and time for the home on Grant Avenue. “It’s a community project, from the volunteers to the kids,” Gevas said. YouthBuild, a program for at-risk youth through the Ogden-Weber Technical College, built the frame of the home, delivered the walls and assisted in the installation. “It’s a great way for the kids to understand that they can be involved in something good,” Gevas said. Probation programs for youth, which serves teens who are between 12 and 16, have donated time and resources as well. One project they were involved in was building the trusses on the shed that would house the tools needed to build the home. Cayden Charley, a psychology major at WSU and a member of the American Indian Council, said that he heard about the opportunity to volunteer and wanted to assist. “It’s a great cause, and it gives me the service hours, too,” said Charley. This was the first time he had done any volunteering for Habitat for Humanity. The family receiving the home has put in many hours, not only on this home but on many other projects as well, according to Gevas. In total, the home has cost $6,000 and will be finished over the next two months.

SHARON VALVERDE VARGAS Columnist
Most of the time when I bring up a conversation with someone over the topic of “daddy issues,” they seem to follow it with a slight giggle. The words do sound kind of silly when you say them out loud. This “silly” term has the tendency to be a joke about women’s sexuality. My parents divorced when I was 6 years old. I had to leave my father in Costa Rica, and I moved with my Mamí to Germany where our new life began. Why Germany? Well, she remarried, and when this man offered a new life, we took it. It was bye to my Papí and hi to my new “dad.” According to the U.S Census Bureau, 19.7 million children, more than one in four, live without a father in their home. Research shows that these children can be affected by a four times greater risk of poverty and be seven times more likely to become pregnant as a teen. Other factors that go up are the likelihood to have behavioral problems and to abuse drugs and alcohol. The list goes on. I didn’t know what I would start to be missing at 6 years old, but throughout the years, I began to realize I was lacking something important in my daily life: my father. Why didn’t I just begin this father-daughter relationship with my new
dad? Mamí always said, “No matter what, remember: Dad is your stepdad and not Papí. There is a difference.” Being told as a 6-year-old that I couldn't act with my stepdad like I did with my Papí was strange, but as the saying goes, “Momma knows best.” I had to learn as a 6-year-old to keep to distance myself from a male figure that was supposed to protect me and make me feel comfortable. He did do his best. However, Mamí’s rules meant no sitting on his lap, no jumping in his arms, no smothering him with kisses, no asking him personal questions about my body and no crying in his arms when I felt sad. You could say it made me strong in some areas and weak in others. Strong, because I had to be. I knew Mamí only did what was best for me, and I listened. Weak, because I can’t tell you how many times I needed Papí to hold me, and he was never physically able to be there for me, even to this day. Yeah, I have daddy issues. These daddy issues helped me build a strong personality. I am easily open with everyone, including men. I remember seeking this male attention ever since middle school. Boys made me feel comfortable, and I liked it. I think it was because I didn't have that male attention every day. So, when I received it from boys and I was attracted to them, nothing else felt better. I didn’t have a Papí to come home to and tell that I had a crush on a boy. I was never sat down and spoken to softly
about how boys should treat me. It's sad to know that Papí wasn’t there for some of my most important childhood memories. We girls should have this: memories like my first ballet recital, my first menstrual cycle, my first kiss, my first boyfriend (which he should be mad about), my first school play, my first volleyball game, my high school graduation. Sadly, he was not a part of any of that for me, and yes, it hurt. But I stayed strong. I believe your father is like your first boyfriend. He shows you how a man should care for you, how he should treat you and talk to you. I wish I had him with me whenever a boy was mean to me. I wish I could have run into his arms and cried and had him tell me, “It’s ok, hija.” This example of a father figure is important. Who wouldn’t want that? I understand some fathers aren’t good ones, but wouldn’t you wish they were? Now that I’m an adult, I have been in a few relationships. I find myself falling for some men that need fixing, and I am easily sucked in. I seek their confirmation that I am a lovable woman. This doesn’t mean I’m weak, it just means I’m human and learning. Would I have a better understanding of men if Papí was more present in my whole life? I think so. It wouldn’t be perfect, but I would either go straight to him or make the mistake and then go to him directly after. I had a relationship with a man that began like most. He was charismatic and good with his words, and I was wooed. It was also my first year living in Utah, and it
was nice to feel accepted. When he asked me to lunch, I said yes. I was about to enter a roller coaster. Bad habits mixed with his unfortunate past brought out a side of him that I wouldn’t want a woman to see and deal with. We women are natural caretakers, but like my mom says, “We are not a psychiatrist to fix everyone.” (Well, unless you are a psychiatrist. Then, have at it!) I am a naturally happy person, and after a year with this guy, it was a miracle if I didn’t cry each day. It was toxic, and I thought I couldn’t get out. The fights got so ugly that one day his nose was almost touching mine while he was yelling at me. I thought I would never let a man talk to me like that, but I did. My Papí never found out, even to this day. How could I tell him that? He never asked about my boyfriends, and I never told him. I wish I could have. I wish I felt the freedom to say, “Papí, this boy said this to me, what do I do?” All of this built who I am, and I feel proud of myself. These daddy issues helped strengthen me because I got myself out of those emotional problems by loving myself. This constant reminder of who I am and what I have to offer strengthens me day by day. It makes me wonder: if I could do it all over, with my Papí present, would I? I don’t think I would. Because of these tribulations, I am this woman. I embrace the good, bad and ugly.

SNOW PLACE LIKE
WEBER STATE
By JENNIFER GREENLEE Section Editor
Weber State University was open for regular hours on Feb. 3. despite the winter storm warning that had been issued since 10 p.m. on Feb. 2. It was projected that in Ogden, 10-14 inches would fall, the majority of which would be between 5 a.m. and 8 a.m.: prime commuting hours. The Utah Department of Transportation warned people to stay off the roads during the weather as much as possible, and the National Weather Service sent out alerts about heavy snow. The announcement to keep campus open was dispersed on social media and on the WSU home page at 5:30 a.m. and was met with sharp rebuke from the students who had to commute or couldn’t do so because of the snow. “Multiple news stations and highway safety organizations
are telling people to stay off the road as much as possible,” Kaylin Davis said. “If all these sources are telling the public to stay off the roads, why is WSU implying that their students should still commute to campus?” Many nontraditional students were concerned with the delays and cancellations of school districts because it meant finding child care could be difficult. “Weber has a huge adult learner population where many of the students are parents,” Lisa Tidwell said. “If they had at least created a delay where students come after district schools start, or switched to online classes for the day, it would make much more sense.” “Many classes have strict attendance policies, and there is not much room in this type of event to miss class, and we hope for our professors to make accommodations,” Tidwell said. Public Safety Director Dane
LeBlanc spoke about the conditions that would be needed for a storm to close campus. One factor in being able to stay on top of the storm is when the storm begins and when it is the heaviest. “Our snow crews will be out about 2, 2:30 in the morning, right in the middle of the storm,” LeBlanc said. “So, their ability to keep up with the conditions and clear the lots and the sidewalks play a role in that decision as well.” LeBlanc also explained the process for how a snow day would be called and what channels it would go through. First, LeBlanc would talk with NWS and would then check UDOT cameras for I-15, US-89 and Harrison Boulevard. The campus snow crews work to keep up with the snow and other conditions, and this is assessed before LeBlanc makes a recommendation to Vice President Norm Tarbox on whether or not to close campus. “It would have to be a sig-
nificant storm,” LeBlanc said. “This is a pretty average storm for Utah.” However, the danger for students commuting to campus isn’t over just yet. According to NWS, the snow in Weber and Davis County is predicted to continue throughout the rest of the week. In a hazardous weather outlook, NWS forecast states that snow will continue in the valleys of northern Utah the morning of Feb. 6, possibly impacting morning commutes. There will be a mix of rain and snow in some areas late on Feb. 6 into Feb. 7, with some northern Utah mountains and higher valleys potentially seeing significant snowfall through Feb. 7. Strong winds in the higher elevations of Utah and southwest Wyoming will also lead to areas of blowing snow.

The Weber State University softball team is gearing up to start their season on Fri-
day in Phoenix, Arizona at the Grand Canyon Tournament. The Wildcats will take on Grand Canyon University, New Mexico and Stanford. “We have built a culture where they expect to be at the top,” head coach Mary Kay
Wildcat Faith Hoe slides home during the ‘Cats’ last game.
Amicone said. “We know the expectation and we embrace that, and we know that will bring out the best in us.” The ’Cats are coming off an impressive season last year. WSU went 14-2 in conference play, winning the Big Sky and clinching their first win in the NCAA tournament last year over Cal State Fullerton. “The goal for our team this year is to be better than the year before,” Amicone said. “It is to be our best self, and we have new puzzle pieces, but we will figure it out to be the best team possible.” Weber State will play 27 away/neutral games before they host Utah Valley University on Tuesday, March 27. “The preseason challenge definitely helps us with conference play during the season,” Amicone said. “We love going out and traveling to play because we can’t play any home games due to our weather.” The Wildcats are returning 16 players from last year, and among them is senior outfielder Takesha Saltern. “We are super excited to go out and defend our Big Sky Title this season, and go out and play in some warm weather,” Saltern said. “We’re ready to show what
we have been working on. I think gaining team chemistry that we had last year will help us on our journey to another Big Sky Title.” Saltern and the team want to make it back to the NCAA tournament, but in order to do that, they have to play one game at a time. The Wildcats want to focus on the preseason first and then be at the top of their game once it’s time for conference play. “Being the reigning champs is exciting because everybody is going to try and play their best against us,” senior outfielder Landi Hawker said. “It is just exciting, and we look forward to it.” Before conference play starts, the Wildcats will have traveled to Arizona, Nevada, Texas, California and back to Nevada. Throughout the stretch of the preseason, WSU will take on the University of Texas, Stanford, San Diego State, UCLA and many other great opponents. The Wildcats open their season Friday to take on the University of New Mexico and Grand Canyon University. Comment on this story at signpost.mywebermedia.com

Chamberlin and Jadyn Matthews in that club. Another impact performance came from Liz Graves, who leads the team in scoring; she pitched in 17 points and 10 rebounds. As the young Wildcat team has struggled to win games, they were able to get the best of UNCO on the road. Saturday’s game was expected to be a tight one – that expectation held. BRIELLE HARKER | The Signpost
The Weber State Wildcats welcomed the Northern Colorado Bears into the Dee Events Center on Saturday afternoon. Both teams battled through four quarters, but in the end, UNCO prevailed as they left Ogden with a 69-65 win. While the Wildcat season continues, the team might have found a spark. In their last two games, freshmen forward
Daryn Hickok has poured in 30 points against Southern Utah and 23 points in this game against the Bears. Head coach Velaida Harris spoke on the freshmen’s breakout performances: “She’s aggressive, she’s strong and she can get to the rim. Then she has multiple ways to finish at the rim.” Hickok marks the third different freshmen to finish a game as the team’s leading scorer, as she has now joined Ula
The Wildcats held the lead for a large portion of the first half, but the Bears went into halftime with the lead after getting a bucket to fall right before the end of the half. The scoreboard read 28-27 with both teams playing very similar games. In the second half, the third quarter was tight, but the Bears won. They outscored WSU by 4 points, which set up the race to the finish line in the final quarter. In the fourth quarter, the game heated up as both teams realized that if they wanted to win, they had to dig deep, and the ‘Cats could not overcome the deficit. When WSU scored down the stretch, the Bears matched it with a basket of their own, and the ‘Cats could not break that trend. In the end, the Bears walked away with a 69-65 win and tied their season series with WSU at 1-1. As Weber State continues to gain experience, they must also deal with growing pains. Those pains include a 3-17 record and a losing streak of seven games. Thursday will be another opportunity to end the streak, as they travel to California to take on the Sacramento State Hornets and then travel to Northern Arizona to face off against the Lumberjacks. The next home game for the ‘Cats will be Feb. 13 against the Montana Grizzlies. Comment on this story at signpost.mywebermedia.com

During Richard Fry’s high school experience in the 1980s, he said that he often felt like the odd one out. Computers were first coming onto the market, and Fry said he could finally be creative and solve problems in a safe environment while on his computer. Fry’s passion and skills translated into an enjoyable career. He holds a doctorate and is a professor of computer science for the school of computing at Weber State. Fry has taught a coding boot camp at WSU with his colleagues, Jeremy Stott, a computing specialist in the department of visual art and design and Eric Mathews, adjunct professor, . The Bootcamp: Coding and Creativity Series for Super Beginners event took place from Jan. 30 to Feb. 1. ClearView, a local tech company, sponsored the 3D Video Game Development event. The boot camp was open to WSU students and members of the community,
ages 16 and older. For 20 hours over three days, students received lunch, dinner and snacks while learning the coding needed to create a 3D video game. “Coding is a tool to achieve a creation. It’s just another tool, like clay or paint,” Mathews said. According to Fry, this event was a good deal for students, as prices were set at $18 for the experience. Fry believes video gaming is a medium that bridges art and science. He noted that the video game industry surpasses the movie industry in how much money it makes. Fry also said that while computer science and coding are behind the multibillion dollar video game and movie industries, coding also touches people’s lives in everything from Google Assistant and GPS navigation to vacuums and microwaves. Stott emphasized that the development of skills from both art and science to create something beautiful and functional was a unique takeaway from the boot camp for students.
Cortland Russel, a local high school student, signed up for the boot camp. He said that he has always loved creative writing. He has always wanted to go into video game design because his creativity is not bound to pen and paper, and through it, his stories become interactive. According to Stott, Utah’s technology industry is booming. Stott believes that with Adobe, Pluralsight and other “Silicon Slopes” companies coming to Utah, the state is becoming a national spotlight for technology. Representatives from ClearView came to the boot camp to tell students about Utah’s opportunities in technology, including jobs and internships with their company. Fry believes that he learns a lot from Stott’s artistic side, including why people find certain things beautiful. He said that he hopes students from the computer science side leave with the same kind of appreciation. Fry also believes that coding can also help society solve its problems and improve the lives of people, especially in ar-
eas like transportation and air quality. “These are just lay people off the street that do not necessarily have a technical background. They are able to just do some fantastic work,” Fry said. Students walked away from the experience with swag, coding skills and interactive 3D environments that they created, which are portable to personal computers and gaming consoles. Fry expressed that the boot camp is intensive. It covers what would usually be covered in an entire semester in just three days. “I’m amazed at what they were able to accomplish in such a short time,” Fry said. According to Mathews, these coding boot camps do not happen often enough. He believes that although it is difficult to commit to 3 days in a row, it is worth it.

Weber State University hosted the LEGO League Utah North State Championship on Feb. 1 with over 49 teams hoping to represent Utah at the national level. The LEGO League competitions have been around for the past 20 years but only for 10 years here in the state of Utah. This is the fourth time WSU has hosted the championship. Participants compete against one another to make it to the national level at the championship in Houston, Texas in April. Teams traveled in from Nephi to Logan, and participants were as young as nine and as old as 14. In order for teams to compete at the state level, they must qualify for the event and display their personal projects
dents to actively learn from science and technology and build confidence within their teams. “S.T.E.M. is great for kids in the state of Utah to be involved in. All of it comes with
teaching core values, and you can see the core values of these kids based on their behavior,” Dellinger said.

throughout the Shepard Union. “I feel that it’s important; the LEGO League helps kids learn so many things like coding, engineering, design and science,” Dana Dellinger, director for the center of technology outreach at WSU, said. This LEGO competition is part of the program called S.T.E.M. Each team decides on an issue in their world, then they must come up with how they could fix the issue, and finally, the team presents their experiment. “We decided as a team that our problem was the inversion in the Salt Lake City area,’’ Member of the FPM2 team Liesel said. FPM2 presented their results and had surveyed 86 people about the inversion. Only 10% used masks when they go outside. The LEGO championships allow stu-
