CHANGES TO NCAA
MyWeberMedia.com| June 18, 2019 | 3
BASKETBALL
By BRANDON MAY Section Editor
For the first time in 11 years, the NCAA altered the 3-point line for men’s college basketball for the upcoming year. The 3-point line is moving back nearly a foot and a half, after playing the last 11 years at 20 feet, 9 inches, to the international line of 22 feet, 1 3/4 inches. “Most of the 3-point shooters across the country are already shooting from there anyways,” head coach Randy Rahe said. “It shouldn’t affect 3-point shooting too much. However, it might affect the bigger guys or adequate 3-point shooters.” The NCAA is hoping the new line spreads out the defenses, giving offensive players more space. “It’s going to help spread the game out a bit and create more scoring,” Rahe said. “Offenses will be able to push the ball and kick it back out, creating more guys open and leading to more points.” Over the past few seasons, Division 1 basketball has seen a decrease in attendance all over the country. “Division 1 attendance has really gone down over the last few years, and that’s all over the country,” Rahe said. “The NCAA thinks the issue was there is not a lot of scoring, with many games in the 50s and 60s, so if you open up the floor, it gets more exciting.” During the 2016-17 and 2017-18 season, WSU averaged 41.7 percent from behind the arc, which ranked in the top three nationally. However, they shot 36.4 percent last year. “Nothing is going to change for us offensively,” Rahe said. “We have been practicing from there for a few weeks because we knew the change was coming. Our guys don’t seem to feel like it’s too big a deal to adjust.” The NCAA’s rule committee also approved a new shot clock change for both men’s and women’s basketball. When offenses rebound, the shot clock will reset to
20 seconds instead of the full 30 seconds. “The shot clock rule will help speed up possessions but also increase possession changes,” Rahe said. “I like the change; it’ll make the games faster pace and again, allow more scoring.” The NCAA is hoping to speed up both the men’s and women’s games pace with the shot clock change and create more possessions for each team per game, ultimately leading to more scoring. “I don’t like it,” head coach Velaida Harris said. “However, if I’m on defense, I like the rule. Offensively, I don’t. If it’s a close game and we used all the shot clock and got an offensive rebound, we don’t get to use 30 more seconds of the game clock.” The shot clock change will make offenses push the ball quicker on offensive rebounds than it has in the past. “The change is going to force offenses to move and push the ball quicker,” Harris said. “20 seconds is still a long time and plenty of time to run our offense. This summer, we are working the shot clock in and don’t want our girls to get stressed and force plays.” The women’s committee did not change the 3-point line for the upcoming season, but they plan to examine it according to a news release from the NCAA. “I like that change,” Harris said. “It’s going to allow more floor spacing and more room for offenses to work.” For now, as the NCAA examines whether the 3-point line change is a good change, for the women, there is going to be two lines on the court, something all players will need to get used to. “At first it may be a little difficult for our guys to find and get used to,” Rahe said. “It is something we will practice, and you just have to find the right line. Otherwise, it is just a long, two point shot.”

As the school year ends and summer begins, many parents look for ways to keep their kids entertained and still learning. Science in the Parks does both. For six weeks, Science in the Parks visits parks around Ogden, hosting interactive science activities for children to enjoy. Every day of the week has a different set of activities so kids can have a new experience every time. The event is from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Friday every week. In the upcoming weeks, Science in the Parks will visit Monroe Park, Lester Park and Mt.
Ogden Park. The program also works in conjunction with Arts in the Parks and Ogden School District’s free summer lunch program. Riley Johnson, who volunteers at the event twice a week, described some of the themes of the program as "see it" day, "hear it" day and "build it" day. “They have different days of the week to learn about all the different senses we have,” Johnson said. Another theme is "move it" day. At the most recent "move it" day, children built and launched their own rockets, played with magnets and experimented with bubbles. “We get to see everything from, occasionally, kids yelling and screaming, to
kids engulfed in bubbles, to them figuring out how rockets work,” Johnson said. “We are just teaching them about the world.” Science in the Parks welcomes children of all ages, primarily middle school and younger, to have fun with science. It attracts many parents with the absence of a price tag. “It’s just fun for them to have something engaging. It’s good that it’s free, too,” one parent, Jennifer Suflita-Coon, said. Another attractive aspect of Science in the Parks is that it draws kids away from screens that can dominate their lives. “It’s just good for the kids. It keeps them engaged in something besides technology,” said Shelly Bailey, an owner of a local

preschool and daycare who brought her students with her. Bailey added that the children are amazed to learn what they can do and make at Science in the Parks. “It kind of motivates them to try science stuff,” Bailey said. Bailey has been attending Science in the Parks for a few years and keeps coming back for the structured activities, and, of course, the fun they provide. The program offers kids an opportunity to run around and have fun while parents get the satisfaction of knowing they are learning something. Comment on this story at signpost.mywebermedia.com

TWO MORE WEBER STATE GREATS By IAN SYME Reporter
Two Weber State University track athletes received national honors during the recent NCAA Track National Championships in Austin, Texas. Seniors Tawnie Moore and Nathan Dunivan were named as second team All-Americans for their efforts at the fourday competition, took place at the University of Texas. Sophomore Kate Sorensen, a runner in the 400-meter hurdles, received an honorable mention All-America honor for her efforts in the national event. Moore completed her WSU track career with an 11th overall finish in the 100-meter hurdles, but her time of 13.03 seconds qualified as both a Weber State and Big Sky Conference record. Dunivan received his All-American accolade by finishing 10th overall in the men’s discus with a career-best distance of 189 feet and 5 inches. The distance improved on his previous school record and ranks as 10th-best all time in the Big Sky Con-
ference. Moore and Dunivan are the first Weber State track athletes to earn All-America honors since 2015. Moore was named Big Sky Conference women’s track athlete of the week three times this season while Dunivan received the men’s field honor once. Moore became the first Wildcat track athlete to earn an All-American honor for hurdles and finished her time at Weber State as a four-time Big Sky Conference champion. Moore began her track career in middle school as a distance runner, but switched to hurdles because her team didn't have any. “I ended up falling on my face over the first (hurdle)," Moore said. "But that was kind of the jumpstart I needed to fuel my competitive drive. It started at a young age. I find myself competing at almost everything.” Coach Tiffany Hogan, who has coached Moore for the entirety of her Weber State career, commended Moore’s work ethic and drive.
“She wants to achieve so much," Hogan said. "She will work for it. She’s always looking for more.” Moore described her experience at the Nationals competition as unreal and a great opportunity. “It was really cool to be there with the best of the best in the nation," Moore said. "Just to be at that level with everybody and to push myself to be one of the best. I loved it.” Dunivan became the first All-American from Weber State in the discus and the second ever to earn the honor in a throwing event. Additionally, he became the first Weber State athlete to win Big Sky titles in both discus and hammer throw in the same season. Dunivan started throwing in his sophomore year of high school. “Luckily for me, I had a teammate who constantly pushed me to continue to keep throwing, even over the summer," Dunivan said. "I was fortunate enough to have good coaches that kept me interested and I kept improving.” After he arrived at Weber State, Duni-
van’s desire to improve never wavered. “Every day that I knew I had practice, it got me excited," Dunivan said. "I genuinely enjoyed going to each and every practice and going to lift weights and throw with my teammates. The highlight of my career was just having practice every day.” Dunivan said he found the competition a little overwhelming at first, but he enjoyed participating in a large competition with high-level athletes. Although Dunivan still plans to train and throw in future competitions, he intends to focus on life after graduation. “For five years, I’ve been so locked into doing track. It just means I have to do more in the real world now,” Dunivan stated. Meanwhile, Moore said that she plans to compete in the USA Track and Field Championships this July in Des Moines, Iowa. She also plans to continue running professionally and practicing and training with Coach Hogan. Her goal is to qualify and participate in the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.

WSU LAGOON DAY
By WESTON LEE Reporter
Over 700 people signed up for the annual WSU Lagoon Day on June 15. The event was hosted by Jill Walker, the Alumni Coordinator for the Weber State University Alumni Association. “This is an annual tradition we have at Weber,” Walker said. “It’s great to meet everyone when they come through where we can put some faces to the names. It’s a time to engage with our alumni and community members. I really enjoy having this event.” Located in Davis County, Lagoon is a short drive from the Ogden and Davis campuses. Weber State at Farmington Station is only about a mile away. For many Wildcats who have lived in Northern Utah before attending Weber State, Lagoon may have al-
ready been a summer tradition. But, for out-of-state students like Nathan Barrio, it was their first visit. “It was above my expectations, and I was kept busy from open until close,” Barrio said. “There was lots of walking, but overall it was well worth it. I managed to fit in almost all the rides and roller coasters, except Cannibal. The line was too long, but I plan to come back to fit that one back in because it looks insane.” Instead of adding any new rides this 2019 season, Lagoon added a beer garden, which features many local brews and favorites, as well as their own new beer. There were unpleasant moments for some people. Anna Jones, a student from Weber State, reportedly lost her phone and her friend’s sunglasses broke. Additionally, some concerns
were shared about the live animals that were used for entertainment. “They looked unhappy,” Barrio said about the animals he saw that day at Lagoon. “It was sad to see them just looking at a wall, being so far from their natural habitat. My friends all disliked that part of Lagoon, so we just tried to move past that and enjoy our day.” Lagoon has had protests and petitions in the past regarding the welfare of the animals they use for entertainment. While that issue may continue, and losing phones and breaking sunglasses may just be inevitable, WSU Day at Lagoon is a tradition for Wildcats and Almuni Association members to look forward to attending.

Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery.
JUNETEENTH CELEBRATES 30 YEARS IN UTAH

“The drum is what pronounces life, freedom, interconnection from family-to-family and heart-to-heart. It’s that heartbeat, the rhythm of the life, body and soul,” said Betty Sawyer, director of the Utah Juneteenth Freedom & Heritage Festival. The State of Black Utah Town Hall meeting, held at WSU’s Davis Campus on June 14, began with a musical performance led by drums. The event included a reception and round-table discussion including social media, employment, marijuana consumption, police brutality, music, restorative justice and education.
June 19, 1865, marks the day ending slavery in the U.S. Juneteenth celebrates and commemorates the end of enslavement. Juneteenth celebrations have been proudly going on in Utah for 30 years. Utah Juneteenth events started out in the Salt Lake community, and once Sawyer became involved, it spread to Ogden and the commitment to Juneteenth has continued since. This year brought expansion with events occurring in the West Jordan Viridian Center and the first children’s festival. This gathering allowed attendees to express their thoughts and emotions and share new ideas to better the commu-

nity. People of all ages and colors joined together to discuss various topics. While specifically rooted in black culture and the end of slavery, Juneteenth is an event that everybody can be involved in. “About five years ago, as a part of our Juneteenth commemoration, we decided that we needed to add another component to the work that we were doing. So that it is not just commemoration, education and celebration,” Sawyer said. “We wanted to add a part that was more (about) empowerment.” Winter, a poet, performed her poem “Cuffs” at the town hall. “Why do we have to make the statement
that ‘Black Lives Matter,’ and make it such a large movement? I’ve got an answer for y’all,” Winter recited. “Because the America I live in — in Black America — although free, our freedom versus yours, let’s just say still needs improvement.” Dr. Brenda Burrell, chairperson of the Utah Black Roundtable, emphasized the importance to be heard and not just seen. Burrell said the issue wasn’t between black and white but right and wrong. “There is work to be done in our community. We ain’t going nowhere,” Burrell said.

Tan France spoke to a sold-out theater on June 12 about the issues he tackles in his book.
DANYA GIL Commentary
Two hours before Tan France stepped on the Grand Theatre stage at Salt Lake Community College, he found out he was a New York Times’ Best Selling Author. Having flown in from Chicago and heading out to San Francisco immediately after, France — who lives in Utah — celebrated the feat with his sold-out, adoptive-hometown crowd. During his June 12 visit, sponsored by The King’s English Bookshop, France recounted light-hearted moments in his life — meeting fellow “Queer Eye” cast members — as well as his encounters with homophobia and racism. With his husband moderating the event, France divulged into stories. When presented with the opportunity to write a book, France was quick to write himself off. He said he had nothing to talk about, but his husband put into perspective what France’s book could mean to people. “I am one of the very few people who’ve been given the luxury, the privilege of being on a big show. ‘Queer Eye’ is global, and all of us
want to make sure we are using out platforms as much as possible to encourage change and positivity,” France said. “Quite frankly, there are not a lot of Pakistani, gay guys who are immigrants who write books.” France wrote about growing up in South Yorkshire, a metropolitan county in England. Seven out of 400 students in his school were people of color. When his older brother would stay home sick, France would act sick so his parents wouldn’t make him walk to school alone. When certain people saw a brown child unaccompanied, they would beat the child. France, attempting to find safety, would walk closely behind families when tasked with walking alone. “A lot of you grew up in Utah; you’ve got kids, I’m sure,” France said. “Just try to imagine for a second your 5-year-old going to school and thinking some 20-something is going to beat the sh*t out of him or spit in his face or throw something at him just because of the color of his skin. That truly was our reality.” France urged the crowd to read the chapter in his book about when he and his brother were attacked. He wanted the audience to remember it the next time one of their family members makes a comment about someone different from them. France encouraged stopping the family member. Media outlets like the BBC, Fox News and Refinery29 published articles about France bleaching his skin. While France wrote about stealing bleaching products from his cousin
when he was younger, news outlets created headlines that made it seem France has continued bleaching and gave no context of what occurs in brown and black communities that lead some to try bleaching. “When you are a person of color, you are not only experiencing racism from other people outside of your community, you are experiencing racism from within your own community,” France said. “The desperation to be pale is so strong.” In France’s experience, light-skinned people of color are told they would find a good bride and get good jobs. Dark-skinned people are told they are not likely to succeed. Growing up with those standards, France said he caved into the pressure. When France’s book had been finalized and on the verge of printing, he contacted his publisher and said he had one more chapter he had to add. Met with resistance, France said he wouldn’t go through with the book deal if the chapter was not included. Within a five year span, France was detained 24 times when going through customs. This was his life after September 11, 2001. While he understands and is sympathetic to the “never forget” mantra surrounding 9/11, France believes it is also a justification for treating Muslims and people of color as a threat. Never forgetting, to France, is the nervous shifts he sees when he boards a plane. When bombings occur, France said he and other Muslims and minorities are just as afraid as other
citizens. “The amount of times somebody said something disgusting to me on the street, I cannot count,” France said. “And it used to be, when I was a kid, just about the color of my skin. But now when they taunt me on the street, it’s ‘f**king terrorist’ or ‘rag head’ or ‘go back to your own country.’” France is candid about his ups and downs. Initially, he did not want to audition for Netflix’s “Queer Eye” because he felt the pressure would be too much. He understands he represents a plethora of marginalized groups — he is gay, Pakistani, Muslim and an immigrant — and he is often not allowed to forget it. That’s why he finds it important to use his platform to educate and ignite change. Jase Van Meeteren credits “Queer Eye” as being one of the things that helped him come out. He looked toward France’s husband’s path of being an openly gay man within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. “His husband is LDS and later came out as gay. Their relationship is amazing, and that gives me a lot of hope for my future,” Van Meeteren said. Evann Howlett, who arrived four hours early to see France, said “Queer Eye” and France have not only created a loving community but also offered insight to people who would otherwise never come into contact with gay men. “My mom works with people of different sexual identities, and I think just seeing the show and people like Tan definitely makes

Lauren Laws said France is the host she resonates with the most from “Queer Eye.” “I think he strikes a good balance talking about hard-hitting issues, but being pretty funny, approachable and kind,” Laws said. “It’s really nice to see more of that representation. I do think he brings (Salt Lake City) a different perspective.” France talked about the growth he has seen in the LGBTQ community since he moved to Utah nearly a decade ago. He said that while the pride parade was lovely before, it is grander and more inclusive as of late. He sees the community growing, but believes there is room for improvement. He recalled recently seeing an article about someone being attacked. He cannot comprehend how these events continue to occur. “We are in f**king Salt Lake City, and we are meant to be better. We better be better. Talk to your family. Talk to your friends,” France said. As France rushed out of the Grand Theater, his next speaking engagement beginning in less than 24 hours, fans followed him to his SUV. With the car window down, France told the crowd they all looked lovely. He won’t be back for months, he said, but Salt Lake eagerly awaits his return.

NEW LOCATION, SAME MISSION
JOSHUA MUIR Reporter
Military veterans and family members of veterans at Weber can now have their cake and eat it too: literally. Weber State Veterans were treated to a camouflage cake on June 7 in celebration of the Veteran’s Services new move to the Nontraditional Student Center. During an academic year, over 800 Weber State students use veteran entitlements to pay for their education expenses. This money is not just exclusive to veterans. Veterans can give their financial benefits to their spouse or their children under some circumstances. Weber State Veterans Services recently moved from its old location of Annex 5 to a new location at the Nontraditional Student Center. Charlie Chandler, who has been the Director of Veterans Affairs since 2006, has nothing but good things to say about the new location. “We’re really excited to be here, because most of our veterans are Nontraditional Students,” Chandler said. “By co-locating, we can use their services, their computer lab, their academic advising, child care. All of these things are at our disposal.” Chandler also favors the new location for its proximity to other services on campus, such as Financial Aid, Reigstration, Career Services and the Psychological Counseling Center. “It’s a great place to be,” Chandler said. Transitioning back into mainstream society — and higher education — can be difficult for some veterans, but veterans like Joseph Atkin find the experience well worth it. “You’re part of a community,” Atkin said on his
four-and-a-half years in military service. “You’re part of a family. You’ve got people around you that take care of you. When you come home you feel like a better person than when you left.” Returning to school can be a new challenge, but Veterans Services seeks to ease the transition and offer continued support in any way they can. Atkin appreciates all Veterans Services does at WSU. “They are there for you. They work for you with the VA and they take care of you,” Atkin said. Atkin also praised the singular focus Veterans Services has on helping. “They want to make sure no matter what, you have the resources to succeed,” Atkin said. “Everything that they do is centered around that: to make sure that you get out of school with a degree in hand, debt free.” Ryan Haney, an Air Force Veteran attending Weber State said he found it difficult transitioning out of the military because he found life slowing down a lot. “You have a little more freedom,” Haney said. Haney found Veterans Services and Veterans Affairs helpful by acting as a liaison between himself and Veteran Administration. “With Veterans Affairs here, they are able to open doors up with the VA as they are a little bit of a bigger voice,” Haney said.
