Ogden City and the Utah Transit AuBy LUCAS MOORE thority are collaboReporter rating on an artistic project to decorate the new Bus Rapid Transit stops with murals in the windscreens. The BRT, now dubbed Ogden Express or OGX, is still under construction and will soon connect the WSU campus to other parts of Ogden with a speedy bus line.

“This art call gives us locations throughout Ogden to provide public art that not only decorates our city but represents different communities within Ogden,” Lorie Buckley, Ogden City arts coordinator, said.

Buckley has been strategizing with UTA members on how to better design the OGX stations. She has backed the idea of installing a printed, semi-transparent, colored laminate between the glass panes, which will reflect colors on the ground during sunny days.

James Larson, UTA public relations and marketing strategist, explained how Ogden City and Weber County have been trying to figure out how to get people to travel comfortably through the area for the past 20 years.

“UTA’s biggest motive is that we want to be able to get students and community members to and from Weber as quickly and easily as possible,” Larson said. “These murals help provide that experience while accentuating our community.”

As stated on the Ogden City website, there are 13 stops and 22 stations in total. Weber State has funded the decoration of six of the stations on campus, McKay Dee Hospital has funded one and Ogden City has funded the rest.

Artists are able to apply through the Ogden City website until Nov. 1, and there is no limit as to how many can apply.

There is also no age limit, but there is a list of requirements for the artists’ applications.

Some of these requirements include references, their

choice of up to 10 past art pieces and a resume.

The scoring system highlights years of experience, samples, qualifications and the caliber of the artists’ artwork.

Scores are recorded on spreadsheets by the arts committee members.

- Reporter . e Eddie Heckard was dubbed the Big Sky Conference’s Defensive Player of the Week 0 after his performance in Weber State University’s 35–34 win against the then-No. 2 t Eastern Washington University on Oct. 26.

The Las Vegas native is going into his fifth m season at WSU after playing as a freshman in 2017, redshirting in 2018 and 2019 and as a sophomore last season and this fall.

“I first heard about Weber State because a former teammate at my high school told me about the school in 2014 and later on, coach Hill recruited me to come play for the school,” Heckard said. “I heard about the school, but I never really considered going here before that.”

He played all six games in the short 202021 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic and been in six of the eight games this season.

Heckard’s performance against EWU included a forced fumble and seven tackles, and arguably the most important play for

the ‘Cats was Heckard’s intercepted a pass from Eagles quarterback Eric Barriere that included an 18-yard return.

Following the interception, WSU sophomore running back Kris Jackson found himself in the end zone after rushing 13 yards, extending the lead to 33–21 and then an additional 2 points after the ‘Cats’ 2-point conversion, 35–21.

“I was happy that I could finally make a play for the team so that the offense could go ahead and gets some points on the board,” Heckard said. “Then I realized it was a big play later on, so I wanted to make another.”

Eastern Washington would score two touchdowns to close the score to 35–34 after the Eagles kicker Seth Harrison missed a field goal attempt with 2:51 in the fourth quarter. The Wildcats would hold on to win against the Eagles.

Following the win, Heckard noticed on social media that the Big Sky named him the defensive player of the week, and he was surprised and glad at the same time.

“I was on Instagram, and a bunch of people were tagging me in their posts, then

I realized I won the award,” Heckard said.

“This was the first time I won this award, and I was happy when I found out, but I knew I could have done even better against Eastern Washington.”

After the upset win, Heckard believes he and his teammates can do even better, moving up higher in the standings and potentially challenging for a playoff spot.

The ‘Cats traveled to Pocatello on Oct. 30 and collected a 40–17 win against the Idaho State Bengals. Heckard collected one tackle for the ‘Cats.

Following their win against ISU, the Wildcats improved to 4–4 overall and 3–2 in conference. The next chance to watch the Wildcats will be on Nov. 6, when Weber State hosts Portland State at Stewart Stadium.

JAZZED TO BE BACK

For the first time since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Weber State University Jazz Ensemble returned to the stage for an in-person concert on Oct. 26 in the Allred Theater.

The performance brought back an oldtimey feeling with a variety of big band and softer jazz music pieces. The WSU Vocal Jazz and dancers from the WSU Big Band Swing Club also performed at the concert, adding to the energy onstage.

The concert started with a few songs from WSU Vocal Jazz. Then the WSU Jazz Ensemble took the stage, joined at times by vocal soloist Haven McGee, clarinet Andrew Hinze and the swing dancers.

Daniel Tracy, who plays the upright bass, said it was exciting and relieving to play in person with others again. Jazz is a style of music that reflects the live feelings of the musicians and often focuses on improvisation and carries a call-and-response pattern, so this in-person setup is almost necessary.

“It is a live music meant to be performed and interacted in a unique way every time that it happens,” Tracy said.

AJ Fewkes, who plays the tenor saxophone, said while there are more nerves in live performances, the previous recordings and livestreams they had been able to do before didn’t feel as real. He also didn’t feel like he had a reason to practice then.

“Here a mistake is part of the art, but in recordings I could just do it over and over

and over again,” Fewkes said.

Fewkes also talked about the importance of live emotion in jazz music and relayed his relief of being able to perform in-person with others in front of an audience again.

“It’s one of the purest forms of art, and that’s what I like about being live — it feels artful again,” Fewkes said.

Dan Jonas, associate professor of music and director of the Jazz Ensemble, said the performance went well and that there was an electric energy onstage. He said he knew the students were excited to perform and hoped that “some of that energy translated to the audience.”

The theme of the night was centered around the pandemic — with song titles such as “Fever,” “Too Close for Comfort” and “Don’t Get Around Much Anymore” — as well as the joy of coming back — “In the Mood” and “Here’s to Life.”

When Jonas was originally selecting songs, he had been at home a lot for the past 18 months and had a few in mind that he really wanted to play with a big group, including “Fever.” He then worried, though, that maybe playing a song with such a title wasn’t a good idea in a pandemic.

However, with the advice of his wife, he decided to accept it and go along with the theme as well as selecting other jazz favorites and swing classics.

“It’s been a crazy 18 months, and maybe if we embrace it, it’s a good way for us to kind of have some catharsis and deal with what’s happened,” Jonas said.

One of the songs played was the first-ever performance of a piece arranged by Tracy,

who is in his last semester with the jazz ensemble as he prepares to graduate in spring with a bachelor’s degree in music education.

The piece, titled “C’est Moi,” featured a serialism pattern. Tracy said it was exciting to hear real people with souls playing his own composition, rather than just hearing it out of his laptop with robotic instruments.

Jonas said that last year the jazz ensemble was still able to meet in person, but that they had many restrictions such as short, 30-minute rehearsals, covers they had to place over the bells of the instruments and special masks the musicians had to wear while playing. He said it was great that they could still do something, still make music, but it was still a hard year.

He said it’s been very exciting this year to come back to normal full rehearsals and in-person performances. At the end of the concert Jonas thanked the audience for supporting live music and joked that “the band was jazzed to play for you tonight.”

Jonas announced that the jazz ensemble would be recording an album of the songs they had performed in December. The new recording studio in the Browning Center is not big enough for the big band, so he’s going to take them to a large professional studio in Salt Lake City where they’ll have all the room they need and a microphone for each instrument, and the students can get a great professional experience.

Jonas said that nothing like this has happened before with the WSU Jazz Ensemble, so he’s really excited for this album.

PUTTING THE L IN LOGAN

By JACE COOK Reporter

On Oct. 29, Weber State University’s hockey team faced their in-state rivals from Utah State University and fell to the Aggies 4–3.

The first goal was scored by Aggie Tommy Machinus in the first period with 10:16 on the clock.

The Wildcats didn’t find the back of the net in the first period.

Utah State capitalized on their lead in the second period with 8:50 remaining after a goal from Sean Johnston.

Cole VanOrman was the first Wildcat of the night to put a score up on the board with assists from Andrew Demorat and Kody Goodwin. The ‘Cats were trailing 2–1 with 7:28 remaining in the second period.

The Wildcats tied the game at 2–2 with 3:49 left in the second period after a goal from Jakob Besnilian.

Sam Voss found the back of the net for the Aggies with 18:12 remaining in the third and pushed USU past the ‘Cats 3–2.

Wildcat Jaden Hewes leveled the game again at 3–3 with 6:04 remaining in the game. Hewes scored the goal after coming out of the penalty box at 6:14 on the clock.

“I heard their fans chirping me, so I had

some fire under my butt,” Hewes said. “I just got out, their defense didn’t figure that I was out, picked off a pass, somewhat of a breakaway, and just shot it short side. Worked out for me.”

The Aggies collected the final goal of the night when Dillon Hale scored with assists off of Alec Moser and Austin Moser with 2:20 remaining in the third period. The final score was 4–3.

“They’re a good team, for sure,” VanOrman said of his opponents. “But we just came out a little bit slow, and we let them score right off the bat until we were kind of chasing the whole game. It’s still a good game, but we’re just chasing from behind.”

The Wildcats hosted the Aggies on Sept. 18 and beat USU 4–3 with a goal in overtime.

The Wildcats will have the chance to come back from this result when they play at home against the University of Utah on Nov. 5.

Talk about a lot of sugar!

On Oct. 27, the Center for Multicultural Excellence partnered with Weber State University students to make sugar skulls and hand warmers and prepare for the celebration of Dia de los Muertos.

According to Weber State University’s multicultural retention counselor Monica Rodriguez, the goal was to make 300 sugar

Neftali Castaneda sets out some of the 300-plus sugar skulls made by Weber State University students and staff.

skulls for a Day of the Dead event being held Nov. 1.

Leticia Mata, a member of the WSU Ballet Folklórico, said, “We thought it would be a fun activity for kids to decorate sugar skulls because it’s a very traditional activity that is done in Mexico.”

The skulls were made using a mixture of sugar, water and instant meringue powder.

After the mixture was made, students would take a portion of the mixture and push it into a mold in the shape of a skull. The students would then take the mixture out of the mold

and let it sit over the weekend on strips of cardboard in the Access and Diversity room, located in the Student Services building on Weber State University’s Ogden campus.

While many of the students were busy making sugar skulls and bagging frosting used for decorating the skulls later on, there were also students busy making skullthemed hand warmers for the kids who attended the Day of the Dead event.

The hand warmers were made using a number of items like colored fabrics, buttons and glue. The idea to make hand warm-

ers came from the Latinos in Action, according to Mata. The hand warmers are meant to be warmed up in a microwave and then put on kids’ hands to keep them warm while they walk around outside.

This event and all of the other events being held regarding Dia de los Muertos are meant to help everyone feel the Mexican culture and send the message out that WSU accepts all people of all backgrounds, according to Rodriguez.

Rashid Shaheed runs down the field with the football.

By EMILY MILLER Section Editor

Rashid Shaheed made history as the Weber State Wildcats defeated the Idaho State Bengals 40–17 on Oct. 30 in Pocatello, Idaho.

The Wildcats found their first scoring opportunity of the game after Bronson Barron found Shaheed in the end zone for a 36yard touchdown. Kyle Thompson’s attempt for the extra point was good and the ‘Cats

led 7–0 with 10:31 remaining in the first quarter.

Shortly after Weber State’s first score of the game, Thompson found himself putting the next three points on the board after attempting a 22-yard field goal with 5:04 remaining. The ‘Cats led 10–0 headed into the second quarter.

The Bengals’ first successful attempt of putting points on board was after ISU’s kicker, David Allish, kicked a 37-yard field goal with 9:26 remaining in the first half.

The Wildcats were quick to answer back

after Kris Jackson ran for two yards into the end zone and alongside Thompson’s attempt for the extra point. WSU established their lead 17–3 with 3:13 on the clock.

The Bengals weren’t done yet, and with a little over a minute left in the second quarter, Hunter Hays connected to Jared Scott for a 16-yard touchdown. The extra point was good and the Bengals entered halftime trailing 17–10.

Shaheed started the third quarter with a 25-yard return to the Weber State 40-yard line. The possession started with Barron

finding Shaheed for a 35-yard pass for a first down.

The ‘Cats brought Thompson out for a 37yard field goal that pushed Weber State to 20–10 with 12:50 remaining in the third quarter.

Idaho State’s first possession of the second half didn’t bring any scoring opportunities for the Bengals.

Kevin Ryan was brought out to punt for the Bengals and Shaheed had a fair catch at the WSU 12-yard line.

The first three plays for the ‘Cats included

two rushing yards from Dontae McMillan, 13 rushing yards from Creyton Cooper and Jackson with seven rushing yards.

Barron completed a pass to Ty MacPherson for nine yards at the Weber State 43yard line.

Idaho State’s Jayden Dawson intercepted Barron’s pass and returned it for a 45-yard touchdown, cutting the ‘Cats’ lead to 20–17.

What looked to be a momentum changer for the Bengals was quickly shut down by what Shaheed does best. Shaheed was able to complete a 98-yard kickoff return for the

Wildcats, pushing Weber State to 27–17.

The kickoff tallied Shaheed’s seventh career kickoff return and is now a new FCS record.

“I couldn’t be more happy for Rashid Shaheed,” Hill said. “That’s a huge deal. There’s not many times you get to be the NCAA alltime leader of something.”

The Wildcats scored on their next possession after Jackson rushed for a 1-yard touchdown, pushing the ‘Cats to 34–17 with 13:02 remaining.

With 5:32 remaining in the fourth quar-

ter, the Bengals didn’t find any success, leading them to punt to the Wildcats.

Naseme Colvin blocked the punt from Ryan, and it was recovered by Winston Reid for a Wildcat touchdown, furthering Weber State’s lead to the final score of the game, 40–17.

Barron led the team with 204 passing yards, and Cooper collected 12 yards.

Cooper led the squad with 59 rushing yards, Dave Jones collected 38 yards and McMillan was close behind with 35 yards.

Shaheed had 88 receiving yards,

MacPherson had 35 and Haze Hadley collected 24 yards.

Jared Schiess led the defense with six tackles and one sack. Desmond Williams and Preston Smith both had 5 tackles each.

The ‘Cats are set to host Portland State on Nov. 6 at Stewart Stadium.

U.S. Citizens including Naturalized Citizens An Equal Opportunity Employer

By REBECCA BAGGETT Reporter

In observing Opioid Awareness Week, Weber State University’s Neuroscience department hosted a presentation titled “Neuromodulation as an Adjunctive Treatment for Substance Disorder” on Oct. 26. The lecture featured guest speaker Dr. James Mahoney III, an associate professor and clinical neuropsychologist.

The Opioid Epidemic has been raging for several decades. According to the CDC, “The number of drug overdose deaths quadrupled since 1999... in 2019, 70,630 drug overdose deaths occurred in the United States.”

Utah is not exempt from this epidemic.

The opioid prescription rates in Utah are higher than the national average.

According to a statement from the National Institute on Drug Abuse in April 2020, Utah providers wrote an average of 57.1 opioid prescriptions for every 100 peo-

ple in 2018, compared to the U.S. average rate of 51.4 prescriptions. Despite media campaigns promoting awareness of the epidemic, the rates of addiction and addiction-related deaths are increasing.

Aminda O’Hare, director of the WSU Neuroscience Program, said she is trying to provide a medical model of addiction and of all mental health disorders.

Many stigmas surround substance use, including assumptions about a person’s lack of morals or weakness of character, “where, really, we know that, biologically, some are just predisposed to addiction,” O’Hare said.

O’Hare noted that, particularly with opioids, the first exposure is often through a medical prescription that is a valid and legitimate reason to be using.

“We’re just trying to educate people that this is just a chemical imbalance that makes people susceptible to addiction, and it can be treated,” O’Hare said.

Treatment research for substance addiction was the main focus of Mahoney’s lec-

ture. Mahoney specializes in substance use and addiction and is involved with active research being performed by the Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute at the West Virginia University School of Medicine.

The clinical trials focus on various neuromodulation techniques as potential treatments for individuals with substance use disorder. One of the major findings thus far in the trials is polysubstance use. Most of the subjects that had opioid in their system also had benzodiazepines.

“We need to step back and start treating the whole addicted brain simultaneously,” Mahoney said.

The consensus from Mahoney and O’Hare is of a need to expand the general understanding of addiction to a more holistic and treatable view, while providing help and hope to patients.
