CLEARING THE AIR

SMOG IN THE CACHE VALLEY ATMOSPHERE has attracted the attention of state and national political leaders. MICKELLE YEATES photo

A new Cache County ordi-� nance under consideration may require Logan citizens to have emissions testing on their vehicles. “They haven’t done it yet,� said Cache County Executive Lynn Lemon. “I think it will happen within the next three months.� Lemon said a new car would possibly be exempt from emissions testing for the first six years. He said

vehicles manufactured after 1996 would have an on-�board diagnostics test, which is a computer chip that identi-� fies whether or not the car is functioning properly. Vehicles older than 1996 would undergo a tailpipe emissions test. Lemon said in the past, the county hasn’t seen a need for the ordinance. “I think the reason we resisted it is because it’s not that effective,� Lemon said. “What it will do is reduce

emissions from automobiles by about 5 to 6 percent.� Angelo Papastamos, planning manager for the Utah Department of Transportation, met with Logan City Transit and USU officials Thursday to discuss ways Cache Valley can reduce travel and improve air qual-� ity. “Our TravelWise pro-� gram started about three years ago,� Papastamos said. “We’re really trying to encourage people to not

Recognizing signs of pain and emotional distress can be difficult for a family to cope with and understand. Though a large por-� tion of Americans deal with a mental illness, a larger portion of the population doesn’t understand the idea and what it’s like to have one of these illnesses, according to the American Psychological Association. A study found 44 percent of the public report knowing a little or almost nothing at all about mental illnesses. Nothing to Hide is a traveling photo

That’s the basic goal to it.� TravelWise is in part-� nership with UTA in the Wasatch Front area as well as cities and private businesses. “We’re working with citizens, businesses, agen-� cies, anyone who will listen to us to talk about this,� Papastamos said. “It’s very challenging to work at UDOT in this arena when we’re building highways, but we’re very excited to be up here.

We think there’s a lot of great things that could happen up here.� The three main goals of TravelWise are to improve air quality, reduce energy usage and optimize mobility. TravelWise consultant Kim Clark said strengthening the economy is a recent addition to the list of goals. “It really is behavior change,� Clark said. “It’s not something that we can engineer people to do, per se.

The strobe lights began to flicker, the music began to play and hundreds of stu-� dents crowded into the David B. Haight Alumni Center on Friday to be a part of the last Dirty 30.

exhibit set up on the second floor of the TSC from Jan. 17-�24. It brings attention to various illnesses families cope with. The objective of the presentation is to disarm negative stereo-� types about these mental illnesses. “The exhibit is kind of normal, everyday people and families that have had or are still going through mental illness,� said Recovery Education and Creative Healing Peer Eric Richardson. “You’re seeing pictures of people who look just like you. You’re hearing stories of how they’ve gone through these hard times, but they also have normal lives.�

AIR: Cache residents walk more than other counties’ From page 1 sell it back for a substantial amount. That way, more employees would be willing to carpool. The Cache Metropolitan Planning Organization con-� ducted a statewide survey monitoring the home to work travel of 808 households in spring 2012. The participants were asked to track their trip patterns and report for each member of the household. The results showed Cache County has the largest number of citizens who use bicycles or walk to and from work than any other county in the state. Cache County has 4.3 percent of people who bike to work, the next highest being Washington County with 2.4 percent. However, sustainable com-� munities extension specialist Roslynn Brain said she still thinks more people need to carpool or find alternate

transportation. “To be perfectly blunt, it’s pretty pathetic the amount of people who are driving alone,� Brain said. “You can pretty much walk anywhere in Logan.� An alternative to driving or walking in Logan is the free transit system in the val-� ley. Todd Beutler, general man-� ager and CEO of Cache Valley Transit District, said they have tried programs in the

past to boost the incentive of using the free transportation in Logan. He said they’ve worked with businesses, encouraging employees to ride the bus to work. “Essentially you’re giv-� ing your employees a raise because of that gas money they save, but it doesn’t cost the business anything,� Beutler said. “We try to do that kind of education. It is a challenge though. Every business has unique

things they’re trying to address.� Clark said they don’t want to make transportation hab-� its a mandate for businesses. “You’ve got to be careful,� Clark said. “You don’t want to tell people how to run their business, you want to give them ideas on what they can do to improve their busi-� ness.� A TravelWise Business Symposium workshop is being planned for Cache Valley residents in April, where businesses and citi-� zens can be educated on ways to improve air quality. “No one wants bad air,� Clark said. “No one wants to breathe that in.

MENTAL: Illness a problem at USU From page 1

RECOGNIZING MENTAL ILLNESS can be difficult, but “Nothing to Hide� hopes to bring awareness and understanding to USU students. MICKELLE YEATES photo illustration

Designed to teach students vari-� ous skills to help them deal with mental illnesses, the REACH Peer program brought the exhibit to USU because of a complaint. Though he knows little about the origin of the complaint, Richardson said he felt the need to address the issue. “There was a complaint about insensitivity about mental illness,� Richardson said. “That’s pretty much all I know. As far as I know, I’m not sure if the complaint came from a student or came from facul-� ty. We wanted to put on an event to educate people about mental illness and personalize it.� Trying to personalize a men-� tal illness can be difficult, but Richardson said a specific photo-� graph gives the audience a personal meaning. “There’s a picture of this little girl that we’ll be putting up, and it’s a picture of her talking about how she’s kind of gone through the troubles of having a mental illness, but she also likes to play with her kitties,� Richardson said. “It’s kind

of just putting into perspective. Although they have a mental ill-� ness, they’re just like us.� According to the American Psychological Association, about one in five Americans suffer from a mental disorder. REACH coordinator Eric Everson explained the concern people may have with their own mental illness. “I think it’s gotten better over the past few years, but I think there’s still kind of a hesitation,� Everson said. “People worry about what it might mean if they come in to counseling. I think there’s certainly a concern with, ‘OK, there’s some-� thing wrong with me, I need to get fixed, but what if someone sees me going into the counseling center?’ We’re trying to de-�stigmatize that with the exhibit. We’re always trying to focus on, ‘How do we nor-� malize this?’� Evenson, who has a Ph.D. in counseling, sees anxiety and depression as common problems that face the students at USU. “I think it’s common for stu-� dents to come in during the winter time and feel a little more down,�

Evenson said. “We have the inver-� sion that asts for a month. We don’t get much sunlight and we know that can be kind of hard for people.� Students who have aspiring goals for their career and tend to be overachievers in school stress a lot. Evenson said it’s important for these students to take care of them-� selves before the situation gets out of hand. He said another reason it’s important to educate people about mental illness is to make the counseling environment accepting if they wish to seek help for them-� selves. “I don’t think you could do enough to educate people about that,� Richardson said. “It’s an issue that changes people’s lives. I don’t think we could understand the scope of what people go through with mental illnesses. This is just to give you a picture of who they are and what they go through and that they’re still people like us.� – daniellekmanley@gmail.com Twitter: @DanielleKManley

From page 1 would do another Dirty 30. “But then we were sit-� ting around the dinner table one night, and my brother asked me if I would, so I decided this would be the last hoorah,� he said. When the party was over, there was a rough count of 500 cans and other non-�perishable food items collected and deliv-� ered to the food pantry. Friday was the second time a Dirty 30 was held at the Alumni Center. “They used to be just in my garage, which had kind of a nice organic feeling to it,� Ike Bennion said. “It really was like an under-� ground ‘Fight Club’ type thing going on. You didn’t talk about the 30. Then Jameson Olsen was nice enough to offer us this place, which gave us a big-�

ger venue to expand into.� Olsen, a senior double-� majoring in communica-� tion studies and finance, is the Student Alumni Association President. “We wanted to bring more attention to the Alumni Center and Ike wanted a bigger place to hold the 30s,� Olsen said. “It was a nice trade off.� Each Dirty 30 is announced two weeks before it is set to take place and a reminder email is sent out two days before. Other than the email, the information on each of the Dirty 30s is spread strictly by the students. “There were so many people there,� said Molly Page, a junior majoring in music. “I don’t know what people are going to do for fun anymore after it’s gone.� Although the Dirty 30s are mostly attended by USU students, there were

a few attendees from other universities as well. “These are the best dance parties in Utah,� said BYU senior Brian Youngblut. “They’re far better than any of the BYU dances.� The music is hand-� selected by Ike Bennion with the help of his cohorts, junior nutri-� tion major Brian Barnes, junior business major John Bennion, and Youngblut. “We all listen to music, swap it back and forth and introduce each other to new artists,� Ike Bennion said. “Then we dig into the collections from those spe-� cific artists. We’ve gotten into some pretty obscure, rocking stuff.� Friday night’s feature artist was DJ Diplo. “He’s getting bigger and bigger, but he plays some beats that aren’t very typi-� cal mainstream pop, and that’s why I love him,� Ike

From page 1 not succeed when a shrinking few do very well and a growing many barely make it,� he said in a speech that argued for a central role for government in Americans’ lives, a core Democratic Party principle. “We believe that America’s prosperity must rest upon the broad shoul-� ders of a rising middle class.� Obama spoke of a need to “make the hard choices,� on health care, the “long and some-� times difficult� road to tackling climate change, and he made glancing references to upcom-� ing fights over gun control and immigration. National unity, he said, will be crucial to meeting those challenges. The president said the word “we� more than 60 times in his remarks, often pausing after the word, and repeatedly argued for a more inclusive union with direct calls for equal pay for women, rights for gay couples, and opportunities for immi-� grants. “You and I, as citizens, have the obligation to shape the debates of our time — not only with the votes we cast, but with the voices we lift in defense of our most ancient values and enduring ideals,� he said. Even as he called for unity, Obama exhorted the nation to rise up against the political deadlock in the nation’s capital that might frustrate his second-� term efforts. “We cannot mistake absolut-� ism for principle, or substitute spectacle for politics, or treat name-�calling as reasoned debate,� the president said. “We must act, knowing that our work will be imperfect.� Obama spoke for 20 minutes after being sworn in by Chief Justice John Roberts against a backdrop of red, white and blue bunting and American flags, with his family looking on. The nation’s first black president took his official oath yesterday during a 30-�second ceremony at the White House — to meet the constitutional requirement that the president be sworn in by noon on Jan. 20. Because the official start on the presidential term fell on a Sunday, Obama’s inaugural festivities were held Monday, on the federal holiday marking the birthday of slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. Roberts administered the oath using King’s traveling bible and President Abraham Lincoln’s first inaugural bible, the same one Obama used for his swear-� ing in four years ago. The president saved detailed discussion of policy propos-� als for his Feb. 12 State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress. Still, his speech offered a map for his priorities over the next four years, posi-� tioning himself as a champion of core social programs while pledging to update them at a time of tight budgets. “The commitments we make to each other — through Medicare, and Medicaid, and

Social Security — these things do not sap our initiative; they strengthen us,� Obama said. “They do not make us a nation of takers; they free us to take the risks that make this country great.� His speech highlighted the twin challenges Obama sees for himself in his second term: guarding mainstay Democratic programs while pressing for-� ward on more modern goals, including expanded rights for gays, immigrants and women.

Jimmy Carter — were on hand to witness the traditional pomp of Obama’s second inauguration. Grammy Award-�winning R & B artist Beyonce sang a rous-� ing rendition of the national anthem, in a star-�studded line-�up that also included Kelly Clarkson and James Taylor. Yet the occasion was muted compared with four years ago. The crowd was about half of the record 1.8 million who attended in 2009. Obama’s signature hope-�and-�change theme of that event has been overtaken by the political battles with Republicans in Congress over the last four years. The partisanship was put on hold at least temporarily today as Republican lawmakers offered the president good wishes and the prospect of collaboration in the days to come. House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio — who has had a frequently rocky relationship with Obama over the last two years — sat next to first lady Michelle Obama and the two clinked glasses at the start of a congressional luncheon after the swearing-�in ceremony. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia used Twitter to congratulate Obama an instant after he took the oath, and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said Obama’s second term “rep-� resents a fresh start� on such issues as “unsustainable federal spending and debt.� “Republicans are eager to work with the president on achieving this common goal,� McConnell said in an emailed statement. The president has presided over an economy that is still recovering from the worst reces-� sion in a generation. While the world’s largest economy grew at a 3.1 percent rate in the third quarter, this year will bring growth of just 2 percent, according to the median esti-� mate of economists surveyed by Bloomberg. Over the next two months, his administration will engage in

a fiscal debate with Republican lawmakers who hold the major-â€? ity in the House over raising the government’s $16.4 trillion borrowing limit, steps to shrink the deficit and funding federal operations. Obama made only brief men-â€? tion of issues of war and peace in his speech, praising the contri-â€? butions of the U.S. military and saying that strong national secu-â€? rity doesn’t require “perpetual war.â€? “We will show the courage to try and resolve our differences with other nations peacefully — not because we are naĂŻve about the dangers we face, but because engagement can more durably lift suspicion and fear,â€? Obama said. As a reminder of the risks for the United States abroad, the State Department said Monday that three Americans were among the hostages killed at an gas complex stormed by Algerian forces after it had been seized by terrorists. Obama disputed the notion that the country is in decline, asserting that the U.S. still plays the central role on the global stage. “America will remain the anchor of strong alliances in every corner of the globe, and we will renew those institutions that extend our capacity to man-â€? age crisis abroad, for no one has a greater stake in a peaceful world than its most powerful nation,â€? he said. The day wasn’t all pomp, circumstance and bipartisan-â€? ship. Before striding out to the platform outside the Capitol to take his oath, Obama signed the nominations of his picks for secretaries of Defense, State, Treasury and the Central Intelligence Agency, at least three of which are likely to engender tough confirmation fights. — With assistance from Gail DeGeorge, Roger Runningen, Angela Greiling Keane, Mark Drajem and Roxana Tiron in Washington.

Winter fun on Logan sledding hills BY CONNOR COMEAU staff writer

With fresh snow and cold temperatures in the val-� ley, rather than hitting the slopes, some students are heading for the hills. With USU’s close proximity to areas of recreation, many consider Logan to be a prime spot for their tubing and sledding. While students can be seen walking up the steps

of Old Main each morning, others can be seen speeding down it throughout the day. “I don’t go sledding that often, but when I do, me and my friends usually go down Old Main Hill,� said Shelbey Warren, a senior majoring in exercise sci-� ence. Cache Valley is filled with parks and hills, offering many opportunities for residents to suit up and cruise down them on cold winter days.

“Sledding and tubing is permitted at Mount Logan, Lundstrom and Bridgerland parks,� said Russ Akina, director of Logan Parks and Recreation. “All city parks are open to the public from dusk till dawn.� Parks are not the only areas in the city where people go to sled. “The golf course is a pretty popular area for people to sled,� said Brandon Mullen, a sophomore majoring in mechanical engineering.

“And when I’m driving the Aggie Shuttle, sometimes I can see a hill somewhere in the valley where people like to go sledding. I see sledding lines on that hill every day.� The cold weather and busy schedules can be a deter-� rent from outdoor activities in winter. “I used to go sledding my first few years, but now I don’t do it that often,� Warren said. “It will either be because I am too busy or

it will be just too cold to go outside.� Julie Hollist, director of the Cache County Visitors Bureau, encouraged stu-� dents and valley residents to go outdoors and enjoy the recreational opportuni-� ties available. “One of the biggest mis-� takes that we make is hiding from the cold and snow,� she said. “It’s just sad if we don’t take the time

Getting the most out of house traditions BY BROOKE LARSEN staff writer

In an apartment on Darwin Avenue, students gather as the musician plays a piece on his flamenco guitar. They sip herbal tea through filtered straws, enjoy a casual atmosphere and even further their love lives as part of a weekly cus-� tom known as Music and Mate Monday. This and other traditions are becoming an integral part of USU’s social atmo-� sphere. In many locations around campus, students meet regularly to attend these gatherings. David Steiner, a senior majoring in economics and Spanish, holds Music and Mate every Monday at his home known as the Blue Light House. “In short, mate is a South American loose leaf herbal tea,� Steiner said. Each Monday there is a musical spotlight in which a few numbers are played while mate is served. Cellos, pianos, guitars, electric guitars, flamenco guitars and violins have all made appearances. Rap music has been featured too, Steiner said. “We try to have a variety in our music,� he said.

Ice cream sundaes are often the go-�to choice, but cookies and brownies are known to be in the mix as well. “The number of people in attendance ance varies from week to week, but we

usually have a solid 30-�plus people,� Taylor said. Taylor said inspirational quotes and interesting stories are read. The Larry H.

When Treat Night first began, West and his room-� mates shouldered the responsibility of preparing treats each week.

Caine College professor designs Ag sculpture

BY KIEL REID

staff writer

Erected in late November of last semester, a white marble sculpture now sits on the north-� west corner of the Agriculture building. The sculpture is com-� posed of two graceful curves stacked on top of one another, depicting the concept of what artist Ryoichi Suzuki, assistant professor of sculpture for the Caine College of the Arts, calls flow. “It looks like a bad sculpture of a butterfly,� said Kathita Chilladakorn, a graduate stu-� dent majoring in engineering. Vineet Lakhlani, a gradu-� ate student studying finance and economics, said the gentle curves of the piece reminded him of colliding waves or even lips. Lakhlani suggested stu-� dents start kissing at the “lips� statue and then proceed to the True Aggie Block A to make out all the way. “You can’t stop,� he said. “You have walk and keep kissing the whole way.� “I think it’s really pretty in kind of an austere way,� said Anna Harris, a senior study-� ing political science. “I heard tell that it was suggested that people could play on it, which would make it fun.� The piece itself was carved out of a 11,000 pound block of Yule marble from Colorado. Suzuki acquired the marble through a grant from the Department of Research and Graduate Studies, the Caine College of the Arts and Design and a private donation from the Larry Elsner Foundation. “I got the block of marble at the end of May,� Suzuki said. “That’s when we started cutting chunks off. Then the sculpture itself was done in mid August, so it took a little over three months to do.� In comparison to other pieces of a similar size, Suzuki said he didn’t feel like it took too long to complete. “It didn’t feel like it was too long for me.� Suzuki said. “Part of the proposal for the grant that I received was that I would hire students to work on the

piece so that they would learn about the process of carving a large piece of stone. I had four students help and work with me throughout the summer.� Suzuki said it wasn’t just the extra set of hands that made the workload easier. He also had freedom of mind, which allowed

him to focus on the piece com-� pletely. “For that three months, that was the only thing that I was thinking about,� Suzuki said. “I was having a great time actually. I was having total fun because I didn’t have to worry about teaching classes or doing

paperwork. That was all I did. That’s what I like to do. I am a sculptor.� The project took its toll on Suzuki physically. He said he lost 15 lbs at the height of the summer when he was halfway done with the piece, but said the sacrifice was well worth the

opportunity to work on such an impressive piece. “Physically, it was very demanding,� Suzuki said. “I carved the whole thing in the parking lot in front of the sculp-� ture building, so it got really hot.� This is the largest piece that Suzuki has ever been the pri-� mary artist on, having helped friends work on similar sized pieces. He said the chance to work on this project was one he couldn’t pass up. Suzuki said he likes to hear what others think of when they see his sculpture because for him the image that he was try-� ing to achieve was abstract, but still had a great sense of flow. “I’ve been working with the image of the flow of things,� Suzuki said. “It is always hap-� pening in nature with clouds and the flow of rivers, but the concept of flowing described by lines, planes and light. That’s one of the main concerns when I design my sculptures.� Suzuki said he has carved in many different mediums, such as stone and wood, taking into account the flow of the grain in mediums to mimic the flow of the overall form of the sculp-� ture. Suzuki said he has decided to name the piece “Whispers in Silence,� a suggestion made by a long-�time friend and USU colleague who passed away last fall. Although the piece is not dedicated specifically to his friend, Suzuki said the name was to honor their 35 year friendship. “Originally I was going to title the piece ‘nagare,’ which means ‘flow’ in Japanese, but it didn’t feel right,� Suzuki said. “But it was the title that his friend gave the piece that felt right.� Suzuki said there is nothing in particular he wants people to see or feel when they look at his piece, and that to him that is what art is about. The piece is scheduled to be officially dedicated with a rib-� bon cutting during Arts Week on Jan. 22 at 4 p.m.

USU students serve internships in Capitol BY DERRICK SAUNDERS staff writer

In a competitive job market, many students are looking for ways to improve their resumes, gain work experience and ultimately find a career. Three students combined all these goals in their recent foray into the world of politics, business and professional world by interning in big firms and politicians’ offices. USU students who have completed internships in Washington, D.C. have many stories to tell about their time on the East Coast. “For me, a big eye-� opening experience was going out to a new place

and seeing a different part of our country,� said Dani Richards, a sophomore studying business admin-� istration. Richards worked for the Larrison Group LLC, a political fundraising group. “In Utah, we’re in a bubble, so it was really refreshing to go out to the East Coast,� she said. “It was a totally different pace.� USU owns housing in Washington, so all the stu-� dents who are interning stay together. “No matter what you’re studying, you can get an internship out there and get the experience and live with USU kids,� said Valerie Anderson, a junior majoring in accounting

and economics. “It’s great.� Anderson worked in the office of Rep. Rob Bishop and was responsible for responding to mail from people who live in the Utah representative’s dis-� trict. Having friends with connections can be a powerful tool to jump-� start anyone’s career path, according to Madison Bell, a junior majoring in politi-� cal science and Mandarin Chinese. She said she knows she has this advan-� tage because of the time she spent on Capitol Hill. “The connections you make are invaluable,� she said. Bell was an intern in the office of Sen. Orrin Hatch. “No matter what your major is, I would encour-�

age every single person at USU and any other school to take part in the D.C. internship,� she said. “You always think of congressio-� nal internships, but there are so many internships in D.C. People don’t really get that.� Though Anderson, Bell and Richards were enthu-� siastic about their experi-� ences, each had a different opinion on what it was like to adjust from the life of a student to the life of an intern. “It was really hard for me to adjust to that kind of work environ-� ment because it was so fast-�paced and a lot was expected of me,� Richards said. Despite the high expec-� tations, Richards said the transition was easy in

some ways. “It was really easy to slip into being an intern because you’re making money,� she said. “You get to come home and don’t have to do homework, and it’s playtime, really.� The benefits of working in D.C. don’t end there. Richards said potential employers who see work experience such as this are sure to be impressed by the dedication and work ethic of those who stood the test of Washington. “I was basically my bosses’ personal assis-� tant,� Richards said. “I did everything from getting the mail to getting lunch to booking flights.� She also helped arrange events, projects and data-� base work.

Bell said all these responsibilities being handled by young people was part of the culture of Washington. “D.C. altogether is a very young and fresh part of the country. You have to have young, energetic people to be in politics,� Bell said. Anderson said she’d love to go back to D.C. eventu-� ally. “I would definitely be OK with living in D.C. for a few years,� Anderson said. “No matter what your major or career path, there is an internship that can help you get there.� – derrick.saunders@aggi-� email.usu.edu

From bad to worse: Injuries hit USU Medlin, Reed will sit for extended time BY CURTIS LUNDSTROM sports editor

Coming off a lopsided loss in the first of a two-�game road trip, things turned from bad to worse for the Utah State men’s basket-� ball team. Down two starters against the top-�ranked defense in the conference, the Aggies suffered their second straight double-� digit loss Saturday, 68-�57, against Denver, only to learn Monday that leading scorer Preston Medlin will be out 6-�8 weeks nursing a wrist injury and Kyisean Reed suffered a season-� ending knee injury. “First and foremost is our concern for Kyisean and Preston,� said head coach Stew Morrill. “This

is as tough as it gets and we hurt for them first and our team second. We expect our players to step up and compete, as we have a lot of season left.� Both Medlin and Reed left during the second half of Thursday’s game against New Mexico State, and while Medlin practiced Friday, neither played in the loss against Denver and could only look on as the Pioneers got hot from beyond the arc. Both teams shot well from the 3-�point line in the first half, shooting more than 60 percent. The Pioneers went 7-�of-� 11 while the Aggies were 5-�of-�7, but unfortunately for USU, it was the only offense the Aggies could muster en route to a 36-�25

The offensive outburst was aided by a pair of 4-�goal games from forwards Brian Gibbons and Cooper Limb. “We always come into this game to try to work on certain stuff,� Limb said. “Obviously we wanted to score as many goals as we can, so I think we did pretty well on that tonight.� Not only did the Aggies score in double digits, but they were extremely consis-� tent scoring at least four goals in each period. In the first period, forward Stu Hepburn opened the scor-� ing at five minutes in from a nifty pass by forward Chase Allington. Then, senior Matt Hamilton completed a nice passing play with a one-�timer that beat the goalie high. Gibbons scored his first two goals 19 seconds apart.

It wasn’t a great road trip for the men’s basketball team, to say the least. Back-to-back losses by double-digits speaks for itself. Losing two of your starters and leading scorers is even worse. But fear not, Aggie Nation: There’s still hope. I think Saturday at Denver was an OK thing for the Aggies and a step in the right direction in dealing with the injuries to Medlin and Reed. Sitting in fourth place with three losses — two of them conference — means any potential for an at-large NCAA tournament bid is dangling by a single thread, if not dead entirely. The good news is that the WAC is a weak conference, which means that the Aggies should still finish among the top teams and have a decent seed in the conference tournament. Not to rain on anyone’s parade, but the WAC tourney is pretty much the only shot Utah State has at punching a ticket to the big dance — which is every team’s goal every season — with the weak schedule this season. That shouldn’t be new information to anyone who’s followed the Aggies over the years.

USU has always been hurt by playing in weaker conferences. But this season, it should offer a glimmer of hope that the high-expectations can in fact still be reached. Think about it. Medlin, Reed and Shaw have been shouldering the scoring load this season, with little to no help from the already shallow bench. With two of the three sitting out against the Pioneers, it basically forced the rest of the team to step up to even have a shot at winning on the road. Marvin Jean and Ben Clifford, two of the major role players off the bench, had 14 and eight points, respectively. Perhaps this was the thing to get them going and be a launchpad, so to speak, to help the team maintain a level of confidence without two of its key players. One man teams don’t win championships in any level of the game, and at the college level, two or three guys can carry a team to the conference tournament. But all it takes is for one or two of them to have a bad postseason game on the same night and the season is over at that point. If the Aggies are going to win the conference tournament, the team is going to have to rise to the occasion. Everyone will have to step up and contribute in every game down the stretch. Because, let’s face the facts — even if by some miracle the shorthanded Aggies ran the table from here on out and then lost in the con-

ference tournament, a weak WAC schedule isn’t going to earn them an at-large berth. I’m not saying it will happen, but the baseball team rode a unified but small core of players to a national title last season. There’s no reason to think that this year’s basketball team can’t do the same with a conference title. But a weak schedule is a two-edged sword in this league. There were three games at the start of the season that the selection committee would deem “quality� wins and boost USU’s resume: St. Mary’s, BYU, and the ESPN Bracketbuster. The loss to the Gaels doesn’t hurt the Aggies per say, but it certainly doesn’t help. And while there’s no such thing as a “good loss,� the losses to New Mexico State and Denver are definitely “bad losses� in the eyes of the NCAA selection committee. The point is, Utah State has no room for error the rest of the season. So while the Aggies aren’t dead and buried, the dirt is filling in. At this point, they’re better off focusing on winning the conference tournament rather than stressing about not being able to lose another game and having a hot-start to the season be for nothing. – curtislundstrom@ gmail.com Twitter: @CurtisLundstrom

wasn’t just on the offen-� sive end. Defensively, they held Denver to 34 percent shooting and 21 percent on 3-�pointers. “The reason the defense looked good tonight was because we were mak-� ing shots offensively,� Finkbeiner said. “There wasn’t any pressure on our defense, so we could take a few more chances.� The teams traded bas-� kets and the lead for the first 13 minutes of the first half, but the Aggies began pulling away with a little more than seven minutes remaining after a 3-�pointer from Christensen pushed the lead to 12. The lead ballooned to 49-�29 after another 3-�pointer by Christensen. The Aggies took an 18 point lead into halftime, 51-�33. The second half brought more of the same as USU was able to keep up its hot shooting. The closest the Pioneers got within the lead was 67-�51 with 10 minutes remaining in the game, but the Aggies led by as many as 25 points. “It’s good to have Devyn Christensen and Franny play well,� Finkbeiner said. “They haven’t played well together as a tandem in a long time.� Utah State 65, New Mexico State 63 USU came off an emo-� tional victory Thursday night when they hosted the

Emissions tests won’t curb valley pollution For many, improving air quality in Cache Valley poses thorny questions. The same beautiful mountains and climate we enjoy for much of the year make the valley prone to temperature inversions. Instead of dispersing, pollution from our vehicles, industrial facilities and even livestock haunts us like a massive yellow ghost some days. Though the valley is more susceptible to inverAn Editorial Opinion sions and air pollution, it’s held to the same air quality standards as the rest of the nation. Under EPA guidelines, the county council is required to take steps to improve air quality. Though local policymakers have long held out against mandatory vehicle emissions tests, they’re likely part of the valley’s near future. While emissions tests may help, they’re a far cry short of a solution. Cache County Executive Lynn Lemon said in an interview that the tests may reduce vehicle emissions by 5 to 6 percent — and vehicles aren’t the only contributors to the valley’s air problem. Cattle and agricultural activities emit greenhouse gases, but agriculture makes up a huge part of the valley’s economy. Whether you drive a truck or a Prius, whether you vote republican or democrat, air quality should be a concern. We all know someone we’d rather keep inside during a red air day — a pregnant wife, an elderly grandfather, a sibling with asthma. For a few days every January, we’re all stuck with our pollutants. And it’s likely that none of us is perfect when it comes to saving energy or reducing emissions. Logan and its surrounding towns are spread out, and travel without a vehicle is impractical for many. Who would rather bike five miles through snowy streets than ride alone in a heated car? Public transit could be a solution, but decades ago, Cache Valley scrapped the trolley system in favor of private vehicles. Now, we’re finding the trend isn’t easy to reverse. While Cache Valley has its geography to blame for much of its pollution problems, it’s a microcosm of the world. We’re used to a highconsumption lifestyle that creates problems for some of the most vulnerable members of society. In Cache Valley, the victims of bad air are the elderly, children and other sensitive to pollution. In the world, the prosperous throw out food, clothing and electronics others produced with hard labor for less than the U.S. minimum wage. A rapidly growing population will compound the pollution problem in Cache Valley and the energy problem in the world. The solution to either of these dilemmas isn’t readily apparent. But by choice or by circumstance, it will probably mean everybody thinking more and using less.

Common Sense

We are all devastated by tragedy. Columbine, Aurora and now the heartbreaking event in Newtown, Conn. always seem to raise poignant questions about our nation’s laws. Most of us know that on Dec. 14, 2012, a deranged man took the life of 20 children and 6 adults in the worst elementary school shooting in U.S. history. What many of us may not know is that on the exact same day in China, there was a similar incident. Not long after Adam Lanza took the lives of these school children in Connecticut, the official Chinese state newspaper Xinhua Newswire — they don’t really have free press there — ran an editorial headlined “Innocent blood demands no delay for U.S. gun control.� On that same day, 23 children were stabbed or slashed with a knife in Central China’s Henan province, where guns are entirely banned. All of the children were permanently disfigured. Some would say that

On Inauguration Day, struggles of some can’t be ignored The small, white pill was put on the tray table Nat’l in front of him. Bobby View Coward, a 48 - year- old quadriplegic, licked the side of his hand and tried to pick it up by making it stick to the slicked skin. It fell, then skittered across the table. He tried again. It fell again. He re-wet his hand, and this time, the pill stuck. But just before he got it close to his mouth, the pill fell, bounced off the wheel of his chair and landed on the floor. His long-time home health aide, Lois Wilson, bent to retrieve it for him. It was Inauguration Day, the closest thing Washington has to Mardi Gras, and hundreds of thousands of people were gathering to celebrate the second term of the country’s first black president. Coward lives on East Capitol Street in Washington, just three miles from the ceremony. But on some days, it might was well be a continent away. This is the Washington that struggles — with health issues, with unemployment, with poverty, with crime. “Last time, I went (to the inauguration). But I had a loaner chair, and it didn’t hold a charge very well. So I couldn’t go very far and ended up just looking at a bunch

yourmind? mind?You Youcancan something on your RIGHTS: Firearms don’t cause crime So,So,something From page 10 was and always will be about a people having a means to control their government and keep safety and security within their communities. It was and always will be about a person having and keeping their Godgiven, natural right to self-preservation and protection of themselves and their families. What we really should be talking about is the fact that Columbine, Aurora, and Newtown Conn. are all gun-free zones. The obvious, constantly-missed fact of the matter is that where guns are allowed — as per the Constitution and the laws of nature

— there is less crime. Why? Because if I’m a criminal, then I am much less likely to rob the house of someone that I know may be carrying a gun. I will be less likely to commit any crime, especially violent ones, knowing guns are around. To sum up, let me cite an example that you can Google search at your leisure. In Kennesaw, Ga., a city ordinance was signed in 1982 making gun ownership mandatory. To live there, you must own a firearm. Guess whose crime plummeted instantly by 74 percent? Guess whose crime rates stay impressively low to this day? You guessed it: Kennesaw, Ga.

Banning guns is not the solution any more than banning puppies is the solution for a rabid dog. Common sense dictates that people wake up to their situations and get their morals back on track. Common sense requires all of us to lay aside our emotions and hearken to reason. Common sense cries out for virtue, not for vice, and when it comes to principles, common sense pleads for restoration, not more regulation.

STRUGGLE: Need for care growing From page 10 arrived by bus. She has been Coward’s home health aide for nearly a decade. And they have a quiet rhythm to their morning routine. There was the process of getting Coward out of bed, and into his chair. Then the complicated and methodical bathing. The facial shave, the head shave. With each task, the former airplane technician quietly said, “Thank you, Miss Wilson.� Any time there is something — the smallest thing — that Coward can do for himself, Wilson lets him. She straps a spoon to his hand so he can eat his waffleand-bacon breakfast, which she cooks on a George Foreman Grill in the room that is his living room, bedroom, kitchen and command center. There is the pill, which she lets him take by his own method. She steps back whenever he gets a phone call. And he gets plenty. Coward, an Air Force veteran, became an activist on behalf of the disabled when he found so many roadblocks on the road back to his old life after a spinal cord injury. He was driving down Marlboro Pike in 1991 when he swerved to avoid a police cruiser and his Bronco rolled over. He woke up in the hospital with a broken neck. Wilson worked in catering, in an office and in a day-care

center when she went to school to become a medical assistant. But there were no jobs in her field when she graduated, so she tried home health care. She got a job with Home Care Partners, a nonprofit that provides care for 800 mostly elderly clients using local funding, or, in the case of Coward, Veterans Administration money. The need for home health care is growing because so many older folks want to age in place, but the funding isn’t, said Marla Lahat, executive director of Home Care Partners. Provisions for providing more funding through Medicare and Medicaid were ultimately cut from President Barack Obama’s health-care reform legislation. Coward said he was disappointed in that, but vows to keep fighting for more care, something he believes can be accomplished during the president’s second term in office. L ike Coward, Wilson t h o ug ht about trying to go to President Obama’s second inauguration. But it would have meant leaving her clients in the lurch. “I can never call in sick or skip work. I mean, I can, but then I see them in their bed, and I think of all the things I know how to do for them, and how they want it done,� she said. “And I just can’t not be there for them.� So as she washed Coward’s frail body, gently went over

his bedsore, put his eyeglasses on his face, they both watched the television together, just a few miles and worlds away from the pomp and parades of Pennsylvania Avenue. – Petula Dvorak is a columnist for The Washington Post.

With the arrival of the dysfunctional first family of ‘1600 Penn,’ we round up our favorite fictional leaders THE IDEALIST

THE SCHEMER

Jed Bartlet of “The West Wing”

Charles Logan of “24”

Josiah Edward “Jed” Bartlet (played by Martin Sheen) was the president that many American viewers wished they could have had. His administration was all about noble causes and making government work for the people. Among his accomplishments: He created millions of new American jobs, masterminded Social Security reform and brokered a peace settlement between Israel and Palestine.

President Logan (played by Gregory Itzin) was a petty man wielding big power, a dangerous combination. At first, Logan has us fooled. Viewers believed he was an ineffectual, indecisive leader. Only later did we discover that he was involved in President Palmer’s murder and a terrorist attack on U.S. soil. The snake kept trying to wipe his hands clean by pinning the blame on Jack Bauer.

THE MARTYR David Palmer of “24”

It has been said that Palmer (played by Dennis Haysbert) had so much credibility and commanding presence as an AfricanAmerican president that Barack Obama benefited when he ran in real life. Alas, a world that needed counterterrorism expert Jack Bauer to save every day was not a good world in which to be president. Palmer barely survived an assassination attempt in Season 2 and was gunned down at the beginning of Season 5.

THE TRAIL BLAZER Mackenzie Allen of “Commander in Chief”

Vice President “Mac” Allen (played by Geena Davis) became the first female president after the death of her running mate just a year and a half into his term. Her work was at times sabotaged by sexist misgivings about a woman’s ability to lead, but Allen was a scrapper. The show was canceled after one season and we haven’t had a female president yet, so maybe she wasn’t as convincing a sell as Palmer was.

“1600 Penn’s” Josh Gad as hapless Skip hams it up for the camera. Behind him (from left) is Andre Holland as press secretary Marshall Malloy, Jenna Elfman as first lady and stepmom Emily, Bill Pullman as President Dale Gilchrist, Martha MacIsaac as oldest daughter Becca, Amara Miller and Benjamin Stockham as Marigold and Xander, the two youngest of the Gilchrist clan.

By David Martindale Fort Worth Star-Telegram

osh Gad, the star and co-creator of “1600 Penn,” wants to make this perfectly clear: The White House family in his new sitcom, which airs 9:30 p.m. ET Thursday on NBC, is not modeled after the Obamas. Now that that’s settled, everyone in America can respond with a collective, “Well, duh!” Because isn’t that already obvious? President Dale Gilchrist (played by Bill Pullman) and wife Emily (Jenna Elfman) more closely resemble Mitt and Ann Romney than they do the first couple. And the last time we checked, there was no goofball first son residing in the White House, setting accidental fires in the Rose Garden and inciting international incidents with visiting dignitaries. If a real-life Skip Gilchrist (Gad’s character) was wreaking that kind of havoc in Washington, you had better believe the 24-hour news networks would be on top of the story. Still, it’s fun to imagine a comedic wild man — a John Belushi, a John Candy, a Jack Black or a Josh Gad ... yes, he wields that kind of manic energy — throwing decorum to the wind and doing a belly flop in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. “The Obama family is almost supernaturally perfect — and perfection doesn’t really lead to comedy,” says Gad, a Tony Award nominee for his performance in Broadway’s “The Book of Mormon.” “But you can look at some of the presidential predecessors and you can see dysfunction in the halls of the White House for at least 100 years. “And what’s so interesting now is, under the scrutiny of the 24hour news cycle, what happens if a dysfunctional family were to be front and center? How do you avoid the blitzkrieg of questions?” “1600 Penn” isn’t the first TV series to explore this premise, although inside-the-White-House shows aren’t always played for laughs.

HONORABLE MENTION ■ Fitzgerald Thomas Grant III (Tony Goldwyn), adulterous president being blackmailed in “Scandal.” ■ Selina Meyer (played by Julia LouisDreyfus), the taken-for
