Winter parking restrictions in place standard Journal staff
REXBURG — Leaving your car parked along city streets this winter could leave you with a fine. The city fines drivers $10 a night for cars left on city streets. Should the city do what's called a “drop tow,” it could set car owners back an additional $50. A drop tow involves towing a car to another street that's been cleared of snow. The city also has the option of having a private company remove the car, leaving owners with another bill for towing and storage. During the winter months city workers spend the evening hours removing snow from streets, and cars left overnight get in the way of that removal. Between Dec. 15 and March 1, Rexburg’s parking ordinances prohibit all
overnight parking on city streets from 2-7 a.m. for snow removal and other winter street maintenance. The overnight restriction applies whether or not there is new snowfall. Should a driver have a legitimate reason for leaving their car on a city street, they can work that out with the city. If their battery has died or if there's been another mechanical problem, they need to bring the receipt for repairs to the police department. “We encourage anybody who has vehicle problems, and the car has to be left on the street overnight, to call us, and we’ll work with them,” said Rexburg Police Captain Randy Lewis. For more information on the city's parking ordinances visit www.rexburgpolice.com/info/parkingrestrictions.cfm.
Create a vehicle preparedness kit Breaking down while driving can be unnerving, potentially delaying trips and stranding motorists and their passengers for lengthy periods of time. However, for those with wellequipped emergency preparedness kits in their car’s trunk, breakdowns can be much easier to manage. Even though new vehicles are loaded with advanced technology, drivers are no less likely to avoid breakdowns. In fact, roadside calls for stranded vehicles are on the rise. A study by the American Automobile Association found that, in 2015, 32 million drivers required the organization’s services, with issues regarding vehicle batteries, flat tires and vehicle keys reaching all-time highs. Despite early warning systems, more than half a million drivers in the United States ran out of gas last year, necessitating service calls. An emergency vehicle kit is something that no driver should leave home without. Just because a car appears to be in good shape or is wellmaintained doesn’t mean something can’t happen. Here’s what to stock in an emergency preparedness kit for a vehicle. • Sustenance: It’s impossible to determine how long you may be stranded if your vehicle breaks down. Therefore, keep some high-calorie energy or protein bars, or other portable foods with long shelf lives, in your vehicle at all times.
• Water: Popular Mechanics says a person needs roughly a gallon of water per day to stay hydrated. If that’s too much to pack, bring empty water bottles and purification tablets. Otherwise, stock up on bottled water. • Weather supplies: You never know which way the weather will turn. A blanket, poncho, tarp, trash bags, and much more can be used to keep covered, warm and dry. • Mobile phone: Mobile phones can be used to call for roadside assistance or other help. But keep in mind that cell signals may be especially weak in remote areas. • Reflective triangles: These items will warn oncoming traffic that your vehicle is on the side of the road. • Waterproof flashlight: A flashlight is handy for making repairs at night or signalling traffic in the dark. • Foam tire sealant: Tire sealant can be used to quickly repair flat tires until they can be assessed or changed at a mechanic’s shop or dealership. • Tire jack: You may need to change a tire on the spot. • Jumper cables: If a vehicle battery dies, a quick jump can get you moving along. Some people prefer a portable battery charging pack instead. In addition to these supplies, a multitool, batteries, first-aid kit, rags, ropes and duct tape are handy to have around. Preparedness kits can help drivers stay safe and get back on the road.

Henry J. Eyring installed as 17th BYU–Idaho president those who lead only enjoy accomplishment as others grow with them. “Those builders of great universities draw others around them as colleagues,” he said. “They find joy in giving others confidence that they can do more than they thought that they could.” Henry J. Eyring said that new freshman need that kind of confidence from their fellow students, from faculty and ecclesiastical leaders in order to make it through the their freshman semesters. The inauguration day concluded with an open house of the artwork of President Henry B. Eyring. Henry J. Eyring replaces Clark G. Gilbert as president of BYU–Idaho, who was asked to head the new BYU Pathway Worldwide program in Salt Lake City last April. Over the ensuing 11 years at the university, Henry J.

that showed BYU–Idaho’s graduation rate, roughly 60 percent, was well above the national average of approximately 40 percent. He said that although it may look encouraging to some, the number of those not graduating were too high for him. After the inauguration ceremony ended, Henry J. Eyring continued with those remarks during a press conference. Using his own family as a comparison, Henry J. Eyring said that if the graduation rate data were hypothetically applied to his five children, two of them would drop out of college. As a parent, he said, this was very concerning. “If you had an at-risk freshman, and you’re sending them to college, how would you design the curriculum?” he asked. He later added that the traditional higher education system across the nation is made to benefit top students, not at-risk students who are likely to drop out after their freshman semesters. Earlier Henry B. Eyring had said that

REXBURG — A new era of educational focus began at Brigham Young University–Idaho as Henry J. Eyring was inaugurated as the 17th president of Idaho’s largest private four-year university. The event, which was held at the BYU– Idaho Center, gathered thousands as the building was filled to near capacity. General Authorities of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, as well as community members, BYU–Idaho students and members of the Eyring family were in attendance. President Henry J. Eyring has long been connected to Rexburg and BYU–Idaho. He first came to Rexburg as a child in 1971 when his father, Henry B. Eyring, was called to serve as president of the Church-owned institution, then called Ricks College. Henry B. Eyring returned to Rexburg for the inauguration, installing his son Henry J. Eyring as the president of BYU– Idaho: “Today on behalf of the board of trustees and the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I install you, Henry J. Eyring, as president of BYU–Idaho and confer upon you the authority, the rights, the responsibilities and the challenges associated with this office,” he said. Among some of the duties charged to Henry J. Eyring were to see everyone as a child of God, to find ways to “infuse experiences of God” into campus life, to demonstrate and teach gratitude “for those who had gone before,” and to exemplify Christlike love and “perfect fidelity” in his life and in his family. “You are to treat your family members as your most precious treasure,” Henry B. Eyring said. “You will, by placing them above all earthly achievements, inspire for good all who are blessed to come within the power of your example and influence.” In his response, Henry J. Eyring said his focus would be on the freshman dropout rate. He quoted recent university data
President, and Academic Vice President. Previous to his work at BYU–Idaho, he worked as a strategy consultant at Monitor Company in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and as MBA Director at BYU in Provo. Henry J. Eyring has served in various callings in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, including as a full-time missionary in the Japan Nagoya Mission, bishop, mission president in the Tokyo Japan North Mission and president of the Rexburg Idaho YSA 6th Stake. He earned a bachelor’s degree in geology, a Master of Business Administration and a Juris Doctorate from Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. While attending BYU he married his high school sweetheart, Kelly Ann Child. They are the parents of five children. Their three oldest children are graduates of BYU–Idaho, and their younger two children still live at home. They also have two grandchildren, with a third on the way.

Badger Creek Outdoor Learning Center closes By Jeanette Boner Teton Valley News
After almost 40 years of operation, Brigham Young University–Idaho has closed the Badger Creek Outdoor Learning Center. The official closing date was Dec. 8. Brett Crandall, BYU-I media relations manager, provided few details for reasons surrounding the closure and added that he was given little notice or reason himself from school leadership. “The decision was made to simplify campus programs. We will be releasing more information later,” Crandall said. The Rexburg campus has not released an official news release on the closure, but the school’s newspaper did write an article about the closure on Oct. 13. The BYU–Idaho Scroll reported no exact date for the closure and quoted Crandall saying this decision was, “an effort to strategically reduce and simplify campus programs.” Jason Thornton, manager for the Outdoor Learning Center, said to the Teton Valley News that all he knows was that operations will cease at the Tetonia center and that an executive council meeting to further discuss the future of the facility was scheduled for Oct. 16. He said losing the Outdoor Learning Center is difficult, given the emotional connections so many have to the facility, but taking Badger Creek off his plate would allow him to focus on other areas on campus. “Badger Creek is a special place,” said Thornton. “It’s hard to compare, but we do have an outdoor activities center on campus, and we would like to create that special experience here.” The BYU–Idaho Outdoor Learning Center at Badger Creek has offered a variety of outdoor adventures, including ropes courses, horseback riding, a slip ‘n slide, ziplining, and cross-country skiing and sledding in the winter. The property was purchased in 1979,

and its purpose was to be a place where students could learn leadership skills and grow. In a press release issued in 2015, BYU–Idaho stated that at one point the Outdoor Learning Center was on the chopping block because it was not financially viable. But over the years the center expanded its program offerings and invested into the overall facilities. The facility was mainly for BYU–Idaho students, but it also offered services for community members, including Boy Scout troops, non-campus wards, nonBYU–Idaho companies, families and Adventure for Youth (AFY) groups and local public school trips. The staff ranges from about 12 people in the fall and winter to about 35 in the spring. Thornton said that the two families currently working at the center have found a “place to land.”

Housing for nearly 10,000 currently planned or under construction By Lisa Dayley Smith lsmith@uvsj.com
REXBURG — Brigham Young University–Idaho officials expect an estimated 19,700 students on campus next fall. In 2019 that number is projected to increase to 20,475 students. BYU–Idaho Public Affairs Director Brett Sampson reported that 19,400 students are attending school on campus this semester. “It’s slowly, steadily increasing,” he said during a City Council joint work meeting held on Wednesday. Sampson, the City Council, city workers and the city’s Planning and Zoning Board attended the meeting, which was held to get everyone on the same page about development and to strengthen communication between various Rexburg entities. While BYU–Idaho officials expect an
increase in student population, they have no plans to build more housing. Instead they are relying on private contractors to provide the additional places to live, Sampson said. “We’ve got really conscientious developers in our area who do a good job of anticipating the market and building for the need,” he said. “We work closely with them. Currently things are looking good as far as availability of housing. There should be enough housing.” Rexburg City Planner Craig Rindlisbacher said there are several housing projects in the works. During the meeting he presented a graph showing housing that is or soon will be under construction. Those expected projects include 13 community housing projects containing 1,035 units for 2,671 people: Hemming Mixed Use, Hilltops, Campus Courtyard
2, Mountain Shores, Paddington Place, Sawtelle, Eden, Falls Pointe, Kenneth Square, Rocky Ridge, Juniper Sands, Cantamere and Providence Square. Also included are six dormitory-style apartments that include 237 units and 1,386 beds: Hemming Cedars II, Abri, Brigham’s Mill, The Roost, The Landing and Savoye. The graph also reported 13 potential housing projects containing a total of 1,681 units for a population of 5,891. Those potential housing units include Lot 6, Crossroads, Eden Townhomes, Silverbrook, Thompson Farms, Arbor Cove, Towers III, Nethercott, Parkview, Mountain Shores, Juniper Sands, Campus Courtyard 2 and Eden. “The Census Bureau lists 2.6 persons per unit and came up with that population number,” Rindlisbacher said. “This is a real challenge and an ever-

changing, moving dynamic.” He said there was no guarantee about that potential housing. “We don’t know if these will happen. The intent is to give you a general idea of what’s going on,” he said. Council member Tisha Flora asked Rindlisbacher if there would still be enough housing for the expected increase in students. “I was just wondering, where do you stop feeling you don’t have a shortage?” she asked. Rindlisbacher said there were differing opinions on that and opted to let the council decide on its own. “The intent (of the meeting) was to provide information and to let you draw your own conclusions,” he said. Mayor Jerry Merrill said the city wants to do whatever it can to help contractors. “I don’t believe it’s the city’s or planning

if done correctly. “With the sheer quantity and number of apartments, (contractors) could add some beauty to help make it a nice project,” he said. Rindlisbacher said his discussions with contractors don’t just involve talking about zoning issues but also involve discussions on making downtown Rexburg a welcoming place for all residents — from students to those who have lived here all their lives. “They want to participate in a community vision,” he said. “They’re asking, ‘What is that vision?’” In the meantime, Sampson said the university is focusing on keeping students in school. He noted that during the freshman year, many students drop out. The national dropout rate for students’ first college year is between 40 and 50 percent. BYU–Idaho’s rate is slightly less. “We’re right there, but a little bit better than the national average,” he said. Sampson said it’s hard to determine which students may quit school. They often do so after getting a bad grade or after running out of money.

Drums
“Typically they drop out because of finances, family issues, health issues or just the stress of not being able to handle college,” he said. “Some of those we can help with. We can help mentor, tutor and counsel.” Sampson noted that new BYU–Idaho President Henry J. Eyring is concentrating on at-risk first year college students. “The president is helping us to really focus on those freshmen in particular so we don’t lose them,” he said. The school is also focusing on equalizing all three semesters, but Sampson said it’s difficult to do so in the spring, as not all high school seniors graduate before BYU–Idaho’s spring semester starts. “We’re up against the timing of things, where enough high schools that graduate in time can start in the spring,” he said. “That affects that semester.” Sampson estimates that there were around 34,000 different students living in Rexburg in 2017. By 2019 he expects that number to increase to around 38,000. “We’re, like, two-thirds of the population,” he said.

We’re happy to give (contractors) information. That’s up to them to decide whether they want to build and whether the market is there.” During the meeting, concerns were expressed that the housing might turn downtown Rexburg into the equivalent of
one big apartment complex. “We realize we don’t want all of downtown to be apartments. At the same time, the infrastructure is there. That makes it very nice and very serviceable,” said Scott Johnson, Rexburg’s director of economic development. Councilman Brad Wolfe said additional apartment buildings would prove an asset

Clark Gilbert inaugurated as president of BYU–Pathway Worldwide Mormon Newsroom press release
Inauguration ceremonies were held in Salt Lake City Thursday night, November 16, 2017, for the first president of BYU– Pathway Worldwide. It’s the newest institution of higher education owned and operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Hundreds of people gathered in the Conference Center Theater on Temple Square in Salt Lake City as Clark G. Gilbert was formally installed as the first president of BYU–Pathway by President Russell M. Nelson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. President Nelson said, “I formally install you as president of BYU–Pathway Worldwide and confer upon you the authority, the prerogatives, the responsibility and the challenges associated with this high office and charge you to go forward in leading this new organization to heights of honor, achievement and
recognition.” The inauguration was also carried on a live feed to hundreds of BYU–Pathway locations in 77 nations to give the thousands of students who have taken BYU–Pathway-related courses this year an opportunity to participate in the event. President Nelson said, “The creation of BYU‒Pathway Worldwide brings an innovative approach to education — one unique to the Church Educational System and to the world. Because many students cannot go to CES campuses, PathwayConnect has found a way to take the CES experience to the students.” Pathway began in 2009 under the direction of Brigham Young University–Idaho President Kim B. Clark, with 50 students at pilot sites in Idaho, Arizona and New York. As President Clark’s successor from January 2015 to April 2017, President Gilbert was instrumental in developing the Pathway program.
“It is altogether fitting that Clark Gilbert should lead the people of BYU–Pathway Worldwide as their first president,” said Elder Kim B. Clark, now a General Authority Seventy and Church Commissioner of Education. More than 38,000 students have been enrolled in programs affiliated with BYU–Pathway Worldwide in 2017. Leaders of the Church announced the creation of BYU–Pathway Worldwide in February, making it the Church’s fifth institution of higher education. The other schools owned and operated by the Church include Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah; Brigham Young
University–Idaho in Rexburg, Idaho; Brigham Young University–Hawaii in Laie, Hawaii; and LDS Business College in Salt Lake City. The presidents of those schools attended the inauguration. President Gilbert said the core of BYU– Pathway will continue to be the PathwayConnect program, which provides a one-year, affordable on-ramp to college education for students who are unable to attend a LDS church school. In addition, the school coordinates the Church Educational System online higher education certificate and degree programs. “I encourage each person, regardless of age, to continue to learn,” said President Nelson. “Pursue whatever path will be most valuable to you and your family. You will be blessed as you do this. You will grow academically, professionally and spiritually as you seek to enhance your education.”

BYU–Idaho Department of Business Management to divide into three departments Beginning winter semester 2018, the Department of Business Management will be split into three new departments: the Department of Finance, the Department of Management and the Department of Marketing. The creation of these three departments was decided upon at the beginning of the 2017 fall semester, though the nature of the changes have been discussed since the 2017 spring semester. Edwin Sexton, the Dean of the College of Business and Communication, approached the department of business management with the idea of splitting it into three and suggested faculty members consider the change. A positive consensus among the faculty was reached. Business management faculty member Drew Eagar will serve as the chair of the newly created department of marketing in January. According to Eagar, as curriculum is formed, the departments can structurally take measures to resolve various concerns from administration, one of which being the high level of students leaving BYU–Idaho prior to graduating. “We are exploring ways to make our specialized marketing classes, normally reserved for juniors and seniors, more accessible for freshmen and sophomores,” Eagar said. “By reducing the amount of forced sequencing and prerequisites, we’re hoping to get students exposed to their chosen area of study earlier.” According to Eagar, this structural change could harbor multiple benefits. “One benefit is students can decide if they really like marketing or not before it is too late to change,” Eagar said. “Another benefit is this allows them to gain employable skills earlier so they have the ability and confidence to get an internship even as freshmen or sophomores. This gives them a competitive advantage over their peers in other schools in competing for internships.”
The new department of marketing will likely have three main career paths — digital marketing, professional sales and advertising — in lieu of formal emphases. Steps are also being taken to reduce the hour requirement for the major. “We are limiting the number of hours required in our major so that students can choose to couple our program with an emphasis from another department, add our emphasis to another major or just add more marketing skills to their marketing tool belt by taking more marketing classes as a marketing major,” Eagar said. Administration and faculty continue to work diligently to determine various details of the change, and a strategy has been established to guide the formation of future curriculum. “The question that we’re starting with as we build our curriculum is, ‘What are the careers that our students are most likely to excel in?’” Eagar said. “We’re building backwards from there. Instead of focusing on what each professor would like to teach, we’re looking at where the jobs are right now. We’re looking at areas of growth and targeting those as the end goals of what the degree is for. We’re building classes that get our students best qualified for those jobs.” Though a strategy is in place, the courses have yet to be determined. Conceptually, the new departments exist, but curriculum cannot be established until the next catalog year. The department of marketing faces the challenge of accommodating students completing an advertising emphasis through the department of communication as well as students who will begin through the new department. “Right now we’re looking at an interim solution through allowing our communication students to take marketing classes and vice versa,” Eagar said. Though the specifics are still being fine-tuned and much planning still remains, Eagar sees a shared positivity with
his peers. “This department split kind of invigorated everyone,” Eagar said. “Rather than about 30 of us in the department, there are only about 10 in each. Everyone feels

responsible for getting things done and creating a great program. There’s a different energy level with the change, and I think it’s been very positive.”

Five fun things to do this winter Standard Journal Staff
It’s tempting to sit inside all winter and vegetate on the couch with a cup of hot chocolate and some Netflix. Admit it, we’ve all been there. But why not make the most of this winter season? We live in one of the best areas for outdoor activities. Here are a few options for fun in the Rexburg area this winter. Go skiing or snowboarding at Kelly Canyon or Grand Targhee. Northeast of Idaho Falls, Kelly Canyon straddles the county line in the southeastern corner of Jefferson County and also in southern Madison County. Kelly Canyon is known for its night skiing. The majority of the ski runs at Kelly Canyon, not just their beginner hill, are lit for skiing and boarding until 9:30 p.m. Grand Targhee is a little further away,

near Driggs, but it’s definitely worth it. It seems like if you talk to almost anyone who goes skiing out at Grand Targhee, you’ll get rave reviews. For more in-depth info on both Kelly Canyon and Grand Targhee, a web search will provide you with reviews, pricing and more information. Snow day football. Got a few hours on the weekend? Wrangle up some of your friends, get your snow pants and gloves on and play some football in the snow. Or if you’re a parent, get your kids outside and spend some time with them tossing around the pigskin. There are plenty of fields around town to do so, including a wide open one at Porter Park, just west of Brigham Young University–Idaho’s campus. Go snowshoeing. I might suggest snowshoeing at Mesa Falls. If you’re new to this area and you’ve never

been to Mesa Falls, you need to go. It’s a beautiful area about an hour from Rexburg. I especially love going in the summer months, but the winter is nice too. Take U.S. Highway 20 to Ashton, Idaho (about a 25 to 30 minute drive). From there, get on Idaho-47 going east and travel through the town of Warm River before reaching the Upper and Lower Mesa Falls eventually. Be careful on the roads and bundle up. Go cross-country skiing. The Teton Lakes Golf Course on the west end of Rexburg has groomed skiing trails in the winter months. I’ve done this before, and it’s a blast. It’s a free way to get out, get some exercise, and enjoy the winter in Rexburg. But please be respectful of the course. It is groomed for your enjoyment, but avoid walking on the tracks. Walking can scatter the snow and mess up the paths for those on the course, making their skiing much more difficult. Don’t be that guy. Be respectful at all times. Outside of the golf course here in town, Kelly Canyon, Harriman State Park, West

“The ORC is dope, and not nearly enough people use it.” –Sean P.
“When I first came I had a negative attitude because I lived locally. I felt like there wasn’t much to gain from BYU–Idaho. But It wasn’t until a couple of semesters that I realized how awesome the campus was, thanks to me allowing myself to change my attitude and outlook. I have now since transferred to another university as BYU–I doesn’t offer the BS degree I need, and I have now realized how much I have been taking BYU–Idaho for granted. BYU–Idaho has taught me how to be professional with my academics and the importance of always striving to learn and involving God in every aspect of my life.” –Tyson M.
“People smile and wave like they know you.” –Sean P.
“I would try to live with people you know well. Don’t do random living situations.” –Liesl W.
“I was surprised at how often I felt the spirit in class. One minute we’d be learning math, and the next the teacher would be bearing his testimony. It’s truly awesome.” Andrew J.
“I was surprised by how many activities and resources were available on campus. And I know there’s even more now than there was then. I don’t think I really understood I could use the gym or pool (and later, the indoor track) for free and so simply until my second year there. And how many things there are to do on campus for $5 or less. The theater/opera productions were amazing, the social/country dances. Another huge one was the outdoor activities you could sign up for (I went whitewater rafting for a whole day for like $20, and backpacking trips and stand-up paddleboarding and things like that). I think it can be easy for a student who doesn’t make friends right off the bat to kind of fade away and hide in his/her apartment, but there are SO many things you can go sign up to do and get involved and make friends.” –Rachel E.
“I was surprised at the number of students who didn’t want to work for their A’s. The ones who didn’t go to class, who didn’t do the homework, who didn’t take advantage of the free tutoring, but still expected to get an A in the class and would fight the professor in class over their grade. My advice would be to buckle down and hit the books. You are in university now. No one will baby you. Take control of your own learning and experiences. It is harder, but far more rewarding.” –Lindsay M.

Beating the ‘winter blues’ standard Journal staff
Whether or not you’re experiencing the frigid cold of Rexburg for the first time, the seemingly neverending cold and dark of winter can give you a bad case of the “winter blues.” The winter blues are also known as seasonal depression, or seasonal affective disorder (SAD). According to Mental Health America, SAD is a subtype of depression or bipolar disorder, the symptoms of which are usually most prevalent in the fall and winter months. Although it can be difficult to tell the difference between seasonal depression and other types of depression, some symptoms that are generally more common with seasonal depression are carbohydrate craving, increased appetite, excessive sleepiness and weight gain. Other specific symptoms of seasonal depression can include anxiety, mood changes, sleep problems, lethargy, overeating and social problems. A person can be diagnosed with seasonal depression after two consecutive occurrences of depression that happen at the same time each year with the symptoms declining the rest of the year, according to Mental Health America. Mental Health America explains that causes of seasonal depression can include the reduced level of sunlight in fall and winter affecting one’s serotonin, which is a neurotransmitter that affects moods. Melatonin, a sleep-related hormone, has also been connected to seasonal depression. This hormone can affect sleep patterns and moods and is produced in higher levels in the dark. So when the days are shorter and darker, melatonin production increases, according to Mental Health America. This hormone can affect a person’s internal clock, disrupting normal sleep
rhythms and resulting in some symptoms associated with seasonal depression. Phototherapy, or bright light therapy, can help reduce symptoms of seasonal depression. Mental Heath America states that individuals can help prevent seasonal depression by starting bright light therapy in the early fall before symptoms occur. Other tactics people can use to fight the winter blues are as follows: • Getting the proper amount of exercise • Taking vitamin D • Increasing light amounts at home • Meditation and other stress management techniques • Spending more time outside • Visiting sunnier climates If you have questions about depression, SAD or other psychological disorders, speak to your doctor.
