Monster Concert showcases a community of musicians Thirteen pianos crowded the stage of the Daines Concert Hall
as the Utah State University Youth Conservatory put on its annual Monster Concert on Friday, February 2.
Conservatory students have been preparing since November
for the event. The result was a family-friendly concert that was engaging and fun for audience members of all ages.
The concert featured plenty of audience participation, pro-
viding opportunities for audience members to sing and even dance as students and teachers throughout the community performed together.
The pianos and performers shared the stage with an essential
feature of the concert: a big, furry blue monster. Kids through-
out the audience were completely enraptured as this gentle giant came to dance on stage, act out lyrics in sing-a-longs, and lead audience members in “The Chicken Dance.”
“We just really wanted it to be exciting for friends and family
and then the students themselves performing. So that’s why we
sort of put our own little twist on it,” said Emily Ezola, director of the USU Youth Conservatory.
Ezola said that the Monster Concert is a tradition dating back

The importance of Sheep Day Variable credit class provides hands-on experience for students By Samantha Clark STUDENT SUBMISSION
Professor Lyle “Doc” McNeal has been teaching at USU for
almost 40 years; for the last 27, he has been organizing and running Sheep Day with the Broadbent family.
Once a semester, numerous Utah State students trek to the
Broadbent’s ranch in Wyoming early on a Saturday morning to perform breeding soundness exams (BSEs) on hundreds
of rams. The exams help identify rams with Brucella ovis, a
microorganism that causes infertility. These “dud” rams can transmit B. ovis to ewes, where it can infect other males.
McNeal and the Broadbents, who own the ranch and the
rams, met while McNeal was managing the largest ram sale in the country. McNeal told the Broadbent family about the ben-
efits of BSEs, and together they developed Sheep Day. McNeal is able to teach agriculture students how to do BSEs, and the Broadbents get their rams tested and their flock improved.
In 2002, McNeal started working with Tami Spackman, an
advisor in the Animal, Dairy and Veterinary Science department, and made Sheep Day a variable credit class. Students can now take the class and earn up to five credits.
Each Sheep Day takes months of extensive planning between
McNeal and the Broadbent family. McNeal organizes all of the
supplies and finds drivers for the students attending the event. McNeal also calls the McDonald’s in Evanston, Wyoming and
warns them that 100-plus people will be stopping there early on the day of the event.
Once the day arrives, students travel to the ranch, unload
supplies, and are divided into teams for the day. McNeal
demonstrates a BSE on a ram and answers any questions the
students have. Then students get to work conducting BSEs on every ram in the Broadbent’s herd.
Blood, wool and semen samples are taken from each sheep.
Students examine the sperm samples under microscopes and record their analysis. If the ram is healthy, it is marked with a green line on its forehead and it placed into one pen. If a
ram appears unhealthy and not suitable for breeding, McNeal reviews it and then makes the call to cull the ram. A red X is
marked on its forehead and the animal is placed into the cull pen.
Once every ram has been tested, everyone packs up the sup-
plies, takes a group picture, and loads up into the minivans and buses to head back to Logan.
Over the next few days, students at USU’s South Farm
research center clean all of the instruments and put all of the
supplies back where they belong. McNeal and Laurel will grade all of the wool samples using a machine called the OFDA 2000 (Optical Fiber Diameter Analysis). When the blood results
come back, McNeal and students compile the final reports

Aggies climbed to an early lead of 8-2 and did so through some
terrific ball movement and holding UNLV to shots from the perimeter.
This was something the Aggies focused on coming into the game. “Our keys were to get back on transition defense and then
keep them off the offensive boards and I don’t know how many
they scored in transition, but it wasn’t a lot,” junior guard Sam
Merrill said. “They only had nine offensive rebounds, so we
did a great job there, did a great job defensively all game and
that’s what’s going to win us games all year.”
On nearly every occasion the Runnin’ Rebels tried to drive to
8:20 left to go.
After the Aggies sat some of their starters late in the half,
UNLV was able to go on a 9-0 run to close out the game,
ending the game 82-65. The late-game push from UNLV was inconsequential in the grand scheme of the game.
“The way we did it is what was key,” Smith said “We got great
production out of a lot of different guys. At the end of the day we shoot 49 percent and hold them to 37 percent.”
This Utah State team continues their winning streak, stretching it to
six games, but will have some tough tests waiting for them up ahead. “Next week is going to be a brutal, I mean, we’re in the mid-

ed their opponent at the half, this time by a margin of 27-16.
The Aggies were fueled by quality bench play that was able to
spark an 11-2 run between 10:19 and 7:09, a main factor being junior guard Diogo Brito. Brito had nine of his 15 points in the first half and played just as well on the defensive of the court.
Utah State travels to Fresno to take on the Bulldogs Tuesday
night to avenge the buzzer-beater loss the team suffered just a few weeks ago. That was the last game the Aggies lost before starting its current win streak.

said. “I though he did a great job defensively he’s got such active hands in the right

Rebels widened the margin to 20-points with 2:55 remaining in the game. From there, UNLV cruised to the victory, 77-56.
“We won two quarters, and they won two
quarters,” Finkbeiner said. “Just their two
quarters overwhelmed us in the first quarter and the fourth quarter.”
Utah State finished with 20 turnovers in the
game, up from their 15.5 per game average. Ten of the turnovers were UNLV steals. USU was also outrebounded 38-24 by the Lady
Rebels. The combination of the two factors led to UNLV taking 12 more shots than the Aggies in the contest.
“Turnovers just killed us,” Finkbeiner said. Senior guard Nikki Wheatley spearheaded
the Lady Rebels’ effort, penetrating the USU defense with forays to the basket, which
consistently led to points for herself or her teammates. She finished the night with 20 points and five assists.
On the visiting team, Shannon Dufficy,

“Honey” FROM PAGE 1 was recognized as Utah’s Family-owned
Small Business of the Year by the U.S. Small Business Administration.
Cox Honey produces roughly 250,000 to
350,000 pounds of honey per year, collecting from about 8,000 hives throughout the area. After the honey is harvested, it is turned
into a variety of products, including creamed
honey in 14 different flavors, caramels, taffy,
butter and honeycomb. Beeswax is also transformed into lip balms, candles and scented lotion sticks.
The store also sells a variety of gifts, deco-
rations, homemade fudge and food products from other Cache Valley businesses. One of

“There are a diverse amount of things that
we do on a daily basis. Everyone has different

about bees and how honey is made.

Ogden, visited the store with her husband to purchase honey on Dec. 1. They were
impressed by how many products there were
and Whole Foods. In addition, Cox Honey is
the last couple of years,” he said.
Flake discussed the political atmosphere that
he says has resulted in increased division and government dysfunction.
“We’ve shattered our politics when polarizing
partisanship has taken over,” Flake said.
In addition, Flake discussed his tendency as
a politician to reach across the aisle, and how
such bipartisanship has caused him to receive backlash online.
He recounted President Barack Obama’s 2012
State of the Union speech, during which he
assisted Rep. Gabby Giffords (D-Arizona) to stand for applause. Giffords was at the time
recovering from a traumatic brain injury as a result of an assassination attempt.
“People hadn’t seen a kind gesture, they saw
somebody consorting with the enemy,” Flake
said. “I was immediately deluged with phone
calls and texts and emails asking, ‘Why would I agree with President Obama?’”
Flake was present at the 2017 congressional
baseball match in Alexandria, VA., when a
shooter fired more than 50 rounds, injuring
six and nearly killing Republican Congressman Steve Scalise. Flake said he used his batting glove to stem another’s gunshot wound.
Flake more recently drew controversy when
a video of a confrontation between him and a
sexual assault victim went viral during Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination hearing.
“She had very legitimate concerns, and she
was exercising her right to be there,” he said. “But it wasn’t a comfortable position to be in. And that’s why so many members just
rush to their corner, pick their tribe and stay
there. That’s where the political incentives are today.”
sent all around the world on a regular basis
Flake’s name to the spotlight.
In today’s politics, Flake said “you don’t want
to be the man in the middle.”
He discussed his decision not to seek reelec-
tion for his Senate seat.
“I would have to agree with positions that I
didn’t agree with, or condone behavior that I
simply couldn’t condone,” he said. “It shouldn’t have to be this way…to feel the weight and the burden of this partisan atmosphere around us.”
He decried the recent partisan shift in U.S.
politics.
“Our responsibilities as elected officials are
to put country above party, to look for oppor-
tunities to reach across the aisle, to recognize that your political opponents are not your
enemies,” Flake said. “They may disagree with you, but they are not your enemies.”
Regarding the government shutdown, he
remarked, “We have to come to a point where we can actually govern again, and the fact
that we just got through a 32-day shutdown
– and may be facing another – shows that we aren’t governing very well.”
“If we can’t keep the government open,
then we certainly can’t tackle the other big
challenges that are out there for us,” he said. “Have the angels of our better nature been permanently furloughed?”
When asked what he felt students can do
to combat political polarization, he said to
not get involved with groups that exacerbate division.
“You hear the phrase, from some on my side
of the aisle, to ‘Own the libs,’” he said. “To do things that intentionally try to inflame division. I don’t think that’s useful.”
Senator Flake said he does not plan to run
for president in 2020, and has joined CBS News as a contributor.
However, when prompted, he clarified that a
future career in politics was still a possibility.

“Campus Kitchen” FROM PAGE 1 guidelines, which specify that food can only be heated twice. “If the restaurant heats it, and then the consumer wants to
heat it, then we can’t,” Twiggs said. “We have to figure out how these meals can work without heating them.”
The Campus Kitchen at USU said that they need lot of vol-
unteers to help with tasks like campus and restaurant food
recovery or running the SNAC pantry. The Campus Kitchen at
USU is even offering to pay for students to get a food handler’s permit so they can help prep meals in the kitchen.
Despite the challenges of tackling hunger, Twiggs believes in
food’s ability to bring communities together. “Food connects
everyone,” she said. “I think we should care because we are a
Aggie family. You shouldn’t let one of your siblings go hungry. You are always going to reach out to help your family.”

OPINION
Universal healthcare? How a busy newsroom showed me the need for healthcare reform
By Spencer Burt NEWS STAFF WRITER
Imagine getting in a serious car accident,
or surviving a gunshot, stab wound or
other assault. Imagine a long, difficult
battle with cancer or some other serious
illness. Imagine yourself watching a loved one suffer through one of these unexpect-
ed, unplanned and undeserved experiences.
Then during the long and difficult pro-
cess of recovery or grieving by those left behind, you get a bill for tens of thou-
sands of dollars owed for the ambulance ride, maybe even a helicopter transport,
emergency room, surgery, operating room,
recovery room, and every single cost down to the hospital gown.
If you don’t have health insurance, you’re
toast. Even if you do, you might still be
left with a big chunk to pay out of pocket. Now, in addition to the trauma of losing
a loved one or being seriously hurt, you’re facing bankruptcy, foreclosure, a lifetime of trying to climb that mountain of debt for something you sure didn’t ask for.
It feels like the hospital is just trying to
kick you while you’re down.
We’ve all seen the political discussions,
heard the talking points and seen the proposed fixes — from Obama’s Affordable Care Act to the GOP’s American Health
Care Act in response to the likes of Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez fighting for universal healthcare.
But allow me to share a more local point
of view.

experience, but sometimes I had to cover
