Slow second half sinks Aggies By Jason Walker SPORTS SENIOR WRITER
A pair of
second-half
goals by the
Utes took down Utah State’s shot at a comeback against their in-state rival.
The Utes (2-3-1) took a 1-0 lead into the halftime break
thanks to an eight-minute goal by Paola Van der Veen. Utah State (1-4-0) managed to corral momentum late in the first
half and put together several scoring chances. The team had seven shots — three on goal — and looked to be able to
compete with the Utes. However, USU managed just one shot on goal the entire second half and conceded possession to their opponents for most of the second frame.
“Soccer’s a game of momentum,” defender Mealii Enos said.
“We really were working with the momentum, we were
getting a lot of opportunities toward the end of the (first half) and then they came out and we let them take the momentum from us in the beginning of the second half.”
USU head coach Heather Cairns mentioned the team’s lack of
depth and how the team pushed ‘to a tempo that we didn’t
need to” which led to a lackluster second half. Just 17 players saw time on the field for Utah State while 26 played minutes for Utah, a lack of depth mainly caused by injuries.
“We made it harder on ourselves,” Cairns said. “We really
have to pick our times to go forward versus when to possess
and bring the rest of our players up the field and we didn’t do a good enough job of that everything was just running,
running and running…and that’s not the way we’re going to be successful.”
The game was the second time this season the Aggies have
been shutout (third including the exhibition game against Southern Utah), the last coming on Aug. 16 against Sam
Houston State (0-2). It was also the worst losing margin since Sept. 8, 2017 (a 0-5 loss to Minnesota).
Now at 1-4-0, Cairns said the team isn’t where they want to
be just two games away from their Mountain West opener against UNLV.
“We told the girls to trust the process but we’re not where we
should be,” Cairns said. “And that’s a little bit disappointing, they’ve got to learn quick, we’ve got to learn a little bit
quicker. We’ve got a lot of good pieces but we’re not putting it together nearly where it needs to be.”
Enos said there wasn’t anything too specific the team needed
to work on, saying the team needs to “dig deep inside

Prescribed fires planned for Cache National Forest would experience understory fires every few years that burn out small saplings without
damaging older trees, said Larissa Yocom, an assistant professor of wildland resources at Utah State University.
“Fires used to burn through these systems,
but the interval between fires was very low,” Yocom said. “Once you had an end to this
system, seedlings came through and crowded the forest which heightens the risk for crown fires.”
A crown fire, Yocom said, is a fire that
consumes the whole forest, and kills even the older trees. These fires are hard to
contain and pose a greater risk to cities near wildlands than understory fires, she said.
“I think a side benefit is that fuels will be
reduced,” Yocom said, “so if there is a fire
around here, it could slow it down or bring it to the ground. As far as reducing fire hazard, we will just have to see.”
Parker said when conditions are right, they
will start by “blacklining” the area, burning a line around the circumference to prevent the prescribed fire from crossing into PHOTO COURTESY OF The Wasatch-Uinta-Cache National Forest Service Four of the proposed locations for prescribed fires, areas B and C will be the first to be ignited.

The Logan district ranger’s office of the
Wasatch-Uinta-Cache National Forest is
planning to set four sections of the Cache National Forest ablaze, and could start as soon as today.
These prescribed fires are lit periodically to
mimic natural fire progression and to help maintain biodiversity in the forest, said
Jennefer Parker, the Logan district ranger.
“Aspen regeneration is our primary focus,”
Parker said. “We want to diversify our
classes of aspen and begin renewing grasses and shrubs for big game and livestock

Aggie First Scholars program increasing retention rates By Hala Louviere NEWS STAFF WRITER
Aggie First Scholars is giving first-gen-
eration students a better experience at Utah State University and increasing retention rates.
Aggie First Scholars is a program for
incoming freshmen whose parents did not graduate college with a four-year
degree. The program’s main goals are to foster belonging, give access and create strong communities, said Heidi Kesler, the director of student retention.
“Many first-generation students have
what we refer to as imposter syndrome,” she said. The goals were created to
combat this and give students what they need to succeed.
Two and a half years ago, first-genera-
tion students had a retention rate that
was 8% lower than the university aver-
age, said Kesler. She created Aggie First
Scholars to help these students and it has been increasing since.
“I think that helps them realize that
they can do it, they can stay in Utah
State. They are smarter than they think, they’re stronger than they think, and I think that’s really important in reten-
tion,” said Monique Masina, a supervisor for Aggie First Scholars.

Evermore Theme Park Preview By Miranda Lorenc STUDENT LIFE EDITOR
“You are cordially invited…”
That was printed on the invitation for the
exclusive Lore party hosted by Evermore park and FanX.
“Come join us for a thrilling night of Victori-
an-themed fantasy,” the invitation continued. “As the gates of Evermore Park open for the first time, discover the darkness lurking within…”
Evermore is a new immersive fantasy theme
park that will open later this month in
Pleasant Grove, UT. In conjunction for the
annual comic convention, the new park held a pre-opening party, inviting visitors to see the park before it is finally finished and open for the public.
As those who know me can attest, I am a
cosplayer. I collect or build costumes and
wear them to conventions or other geek-related activities. Among my costumes is a rogue, an original character I have created over the years. My father has a warrior outfit and my
brother a paladin set. When we dress up, we become an adventuring troop right out of a video game or Dungeons and Dragons
campaign. Sometimes we get friends or
significant others to dress up and our party grows.
After a costume-filled weekend at FanX, it
was only natural that we dressed up for the Lore party.
I have known about Evermore since the
beginning when it was first announced at the
second annual Salt Lake Comic Convention in 2014. It was an exciting idea – a fantasy
theme park in Utah. A place where I could be a pirate or a fairy and go on quests. It was
also an ambitious idea and I heard a lot of

funding and support.
In the early days, Evermore park was
originally designed to be 45 acres, less than
half the size of Lagoon. Right now, it is 11 acres. The sheer size of the original park
design would have taken more than $150 million, according to a Salt Lake Tribune
article written in 2014. Since that first design, the park has gone through a lot of ups and
downs, and its creation has taken a lot longer than planned. But the founder and creator of the park, Ken Bretschneider has persevered and the park is almost ready to open.
Walking through the doors of Evermore, I
wasn’t sure what to expect. I had been seeing
regular updates from the park’s Facebook and Instagram page and was excited to see
everything come together. There were actors
waiting by the gates, ready to introduce us to their world. Jack-o-lanterns galore lined the pathways, adding an autumn festival feel to the Victorian-style buildings that populated the area. Among the visitors were fellow
costumers that added to the atmosphere.
I enjoyed conversing with the characters in
the tavern, who talked of a darkness spreading throughout the land. One character said
to ignore it, while another adamantly assured us it was coming. I found myself drawn into the world of Evermore, fitting right in with
my dagger at my side and my small dragon
companion, Hawke, riding my shoulder. One
fairy squealed in delight when she noticed the winged creature and asked if she could pet it.
Wandering the park further, I watched sword
fighting demonstrations and fire dances. I
listened to ethereal music as I filled my platter with free meats, cheeses and fruits laid out on the banquet tables. While eating, I met a merchant of ale and his companion, a
runaway noblewoman who had tired of her
life and wanted adventure. Then, I wandered through a maze of tunnels under giant
pumpkins and met the baby dragon, Aelin, and his tamer.
I also saw a preview for a haunted house in
the mausoleum. And, from behind chain

Mana Beadwork: Handmade Bracelets USU Student inspired by Colombian beading selling bracelets in Utah
By Shelby Black STUDENT LIFE SENIOR WRITER
When he was living abroad in Colombia, Hayden Hoopes, founder of Mana Beadwork, noticed bright, beaded bracelets on many people’s wrists. He quickly learned that they were known as “Manilla” bracelets. The Manilla bracelets consist of beads and string woven together to form a bigger design. Hoopes realized he wanted to create these for himself, so he set out to learn how. “While in Colombia, many people gifted me these bracelets. I thought it would be fun to do for myself,” Hoopes said. “I asked around on the streets where I could find things for the bracelets. Everyone I asked seemed to know about this one secret building. So, I went to downtown Colombia which is pretty sketchy, then I went into the building and I went to the fourth floor. There was just this room and they had literally everything you need for the bracelets for really cheap.” Hoopes supplies come directly from Colombia. Hoopes explained how he uses a loom,
string and beads to create his bracelets. It takes him six hours of needle and thread to create a finished product. “The hardest part is getting the beads. I have to get them straight from Colombia. After that it’s just a lot of going back and forth. You have to weave the bead to each string individually. I taught myself while there. I’ve had a lot of fails, but I finally figured it out,” Hoopes said. Hoopes returned to Colombia during spring break to get more beads and he has more being sent his way, thanks to his girlfriend in Colombia. After learning the process of the bracelets, Hoopes’ business needed a name. He chose the name Mana Beadwork because of the bracelet’s name, “Manilla,” and the Spanish word for hand, “mano.” Hoopes said his inspiration for his designs come from his time in Colombia and, “Pinterest helps a lot.” “I like looking at different things for inspiration. I look for sort of ancestral or tribal designs. I think that those look best on bracelets,” Hoopes said.

judging by the lack of lighting, the number of unfinished buildings, the areas that were

and perform for my teammates and take it a kick at a time.”
Defensively, Utah State held NMSU to just 280
yards while forcing two fumbles and three interceptions. Senior safety Aaron Wade
recorded two of the interceptions in his first collegiate start.
“We had a lot of energy going around,” Wade
said of the defense’s performance. “When
somebody does something great, you just want to do something better, then it just keeps stacking up and stacking up.”
In the game, USU recorded five sacks, including
1.5 by Galea’i, and one each from junior cornerback DJ Williams and sophomore
linebacker David Woodward. This was the first time since 2015 an Aggie team totaled five or more sacks in a game.

AGGIES KICK NEW MEXICO STATE
Eberle’s record-setting night helps propel USU to 60-13 victory in home opener By Jaden Johnson SPORTS CONTENT MANAGER
The 2017 Utah State football season came to a
screeching halt back in December, when the
Aggies made the trip to Tucson for the Arizona
Bowl and found themselves on the wrong side of a 26-20 overtime final to the New Mexico State Aggies.
USU kicker Dominik Eberle missed four field
goals in the game after a nearly perfect kicking
season in which the then-sophomore was named one of just three Lou Groza Award finalists.
This time around, it was Eberle and the Aggies
in blue getting the last laugh.
The German native made six field goals and six
extra points on Saturday night to tie an NCAA
record for points by a kicker in a game with 24,
and shattering nearly every kicking record in the USU record book as Utah State crushed New Mexico State by a score of 60-13.
“What’s nice to see is that kid took a lot of grief
over the last time we played that team in his
performance, which was really the only sub-standard one he’s had since he’s been here,” said
Utah State head coach Matt Wells. “It’s nice to
see him start off the year like this, obviously in great form.”
Eberle’s night started on Utah State’s first
offensive drive, when sophomore quarterback Jordan Love led the Aggies down the field 53
yards to set up for a 44-yard field goal for the junior kicker.
On the first play of New Mexico State’s second
offensive possession, USU junior linebacker Tipa Galea’i came off the corner untouched into the offensive backfield to meet Romero, where he
earned his third sack and second forced fumble of the season. The USU offense, starting on the
NMSU 20-yard line, wasn’t able to capitalize on favorable field position with a touchdown, but
Eberle tacked on his second field goal of the game, a 32-yard kick.
NMSU got on the board and took its only lead
of the game on its third drive, when Romero led his squad down the field for a 10-play, 75-yard drive, capped off by an 18-yard pass to senior receiver Jonathan Boone for a touchdown. Mid-way through the first quarter, Eberle
continued his perfect game effort with a 51-yard field goal to put Utah State up 16-7. The kick was the second-longest of his career, and the
second time the 2017 Groza Award-finalist had connected from beyond 50 yards.
After more offensive fireworks for Utah State
which included a 65-yard touchdown drive, a
their job, and I just piggyback off of them, so it all goes do them. If they do their job, it’s a
straight-away shot for me, so shout-out to them boys.”
At the 11:11 mark of the fourth quarter, Eberle
made history. His third 51-yard field goal of the
game soared through the uprights, breaking the program record for field goals in a game and points by a kicker, as well as scoring his 24th point of the game to tie the NCAA record for points by a kicker in a game.
“I knew the school record, because I set it last
year, was 19 points, and my coach kept telling
Wells attributed his team’s ability to get to the
quarterback to the defense’s performance
stopping the run and creating 3rd-down-andlong scenarios.
“We’re certainly going to be an aggressive-style
defense, and everybody on our defense can rush
a passer and blitz, and that’s their responsibility,” Wells said. “We’re going to pressure a lot, and
we’ve done it since I’ve been here. Nothing new.” The USU offense finished with 446 total yards,
including 172 through the air and 274 on the
ground. Love finished 14-of-27 with 159 yards
along with one touchdown and an interception. Utah State will now face a short week, return-

21-yard Eberle field goal, and a 46-yard
touchdown drive, the home team went into the locker room up 33-10 halftime.
The first score of the second half came when
Romero tried to connect with a receiver on a
slant route, but the ball was wrestled away by
Utah State senior cornerback Deante Fortenberry. The Oakland, Calif. native then weaved his way 75 yards through would-be tacklers for a
touchdown to put USU up 40-13. The play tied for the tenth-longest interception return in program history.
After New Mexico State kicker Dylan Brown
made his second kick of the game, a 31-yarder to bring the score to 40-13, Utah State quickly
returned the favor. A 75-play drive lasting under
two minutes resulted in another USU touchdown when junior running back Gerold Bright ran down the middle untouched for a 51-yard touchdown.
Bright led USU on the ground with 134 yards
on 14 carries, the second 100-plus yard game of his career.
“I didn’t get touched thanks to my o-line, they
did their job,” Bright said of the run. “They do

Vo l l e y b a l l goes 1-2 in marathon tournament
,
By Lauren Lomeli SPORTS STAFF WRITER
The Utah State women’s volleyball team had
a rollercoaster weekend at their most recent
tournament in Kalamazoo, Mich., where each of its games extended into five sets. The Aggies went 1-2 in the tournament.
The Aggies opened on Friday morning with a
five-set loss (25-27, 25-19, 25-17, 25-20, 5-15) against Loyola. After leading for the majority
of the first set, Loyola caught up and tied it at 15-15. USU bounced back and took set point at 24-20, but the Ramblers answered back
with a four-point run to tie again at 24-24.
The Aggies went on to lose the frame 27-25.

COLUMN: Why the Browns won’t suck this year By Daedan Olander SPORTS STAFF WRITER
One or two of these similarly titled articles
surface before the opening kickoff of every football season, written by some idiot
optimist who is certain that the Browns can’t possibly retain the title of NFL’s worst team for yet another year. Clearly, these people don’t know how the NFL works.
Just as everyone who watches TV knows
that switching to Geico can save you 15% or more on car insurance, so, too, can the
average sports fan predict that Cleveland will likely lose 10 or more games in any given season. It’s just what they do.
To add some context, after going 1-15 in
2016 the Browns posted an even worse
record in 2017, becoming only the second
team in NFL history to finish a season 0-16. Yikes.
But this isn’t an article lamenting over the
Browns torrid history, nor their questionable decisions in the past. There are enough
articles and certainly enough material to
cover their prior inadequacies for many years to come. Instead, we are going to take an
objective look at a much-improved Browns team heading into the 2018 season.
Many of the Browns’ struggles over the past
decade can be traced back to a highly
dysfunctional front office. Since 2012, nine of the team’s 13 players selected in the first round are no longer on the roster. This,
coupled with the Browns’ decade long search
for a franchise quarterback during which they passed on the likes of Carson Wentz, Deshaun Watson, and Jared Goff, exposes an embar-
rassing level of incompetence regarding the decision making by Cleveland’s front office. Because of this perpetual failure to im-
of the match, Utah State went on a four-point
run and took the lead 10-7, thanks to a kill by freshman middle Corinne Larsen. USU was
able to stay ahead the rest of the set and won 25-19.

Kaepernick, Reid has filed a lawsuit
