October 31, 2013
Kevin Hurst, the advisor for theUSU Eastern ambassador team and
admissions advisor, left Oct 26 forZanesville, Ohio, to start his new
job, and his new life.I was a successful candidate to
be the director of student supportservices at Zane State College,
says Hurst.At Utah State University East-
ern, Hurst was an admissions advi-sor in enrollment services, as well
as the advisor for the ambassadorteam. At least in description, his
job was straight forward. Promotethe school and recruit students to
attend Eastern. Being advisor tothe ambassador team was what
he considered to be the most im-
portant and most fullling aspectof his job.
When it comes to recruiting,the ambassador team is really our
greatest asset because they areactual students here, explained
Hurst. It wasnt too long agothat they were in the shoes of the
prospective student trying to de-termine what school they would go
to. They can relate a lot better thanwe can to prospective students.
His new job description is alittle different.
I will be helping rst gen-eration students, students with low
income, or students with a regis-tered disability to persist through

Among the new faces at USU
Eastern, the new Sessions Residen-tial Hall director, Eric Curwen, is
one of them. A student since spring2012, and currently working on
his bachelors degree in businessadministration, Curwen put a lot
of hard work and time into makingPrice, Utah, heaven on Earth.
He is from Tooele, Utah, wherehe grew up with his family and
friends. While in high school,Curwen was in the band where he
played percussion, better known
as the drums.After high school, Curwen
decided to serve a mission forthe Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints. He was calledto the Philippines. He spent two
years of his life there and mademany friends. On his mission he
became procient in the languageof Tagalog. He states that servinghis mission was one of his biggest
achievements. It was one of thehardest things Ive ever done, but
one that has changed me in manydifferent ways for the bet ter.
After serving a mission, hereturned home and started making
There is only one Judge Boyd Bun-
nell, one Gibby and one 75thanniversary
of Utah State University Eastern.
The college celebrated its Diamond
Jubilee Oct. 21-28 with plays, presen-
tations, talks, concerts, luncheons,
authors, art, awards and athletic com-
petition.
For those fortunate enough to hear
the retired Seventh District Court
udge speak at the schools anniversary
luncheon on Oct. 24, they learned,
rst-hand, about the origin of Gibby.Bunnell, one of the rst students of
the college, talked about his role in the
hauling of the hefty rock 74 years ago
from a nearby lot where Carbon High
School stands today.
He joked about being ditched by his
older brother, Louis, who forgot he had
a heavy date that night, as he described
it, and asked him if he would take on
the weighty task in his place. He agreed
to do it and later around midnight, with
the help of a few classmates, he chained
and lifted the ancient boulder from its
resting place; but not easily. The trusty
truck initially reared up against the
weight of the stubborn stone until some
of his more substantial classmates were
able to eventually bring the front tiresback to earth by standing on the front
bumper. With sketchy traction, it was
slow going as they zigged and zagged
their way to campus.
He talked about the initial tepid reac-
tion to the rock by administrators. He
described the various campus locations
of the boulder that led to its present place
outside the student center. He said the
painting of the rock initially began as
a reward to winners of tug-o-wars and
other battles between the freshman and
sophomores that usually regressed into
a mud ght. Today, he said, anyone can
paint the rock at any time, noting that
hes seen it change two or three times
over the past two weeks a lone.
He talked about the rock art thatadorns the cliffs of nearby canyons,
noting how timeless it is and how Gibby
is a lot like that. And after all of these
years, he said, it still serves a purpose.
Exactly what that purpose is may be
open to as many interpretations as the
thousand layers of paint that coat it,
but who knows, he said, maybe one
day a world-renowned artist can claim
the rock as his or her very rst canvas.
Few would disagree that rocks have
special meaning in Carbon County. For
the regions rich mining heritage, rock
is a means to an end when mining the
coal from deep within. And thanks, in
part, to Bunnell, one bold little boulder
has become a means of communication
and recollection. In one form or another,that ordinary rock continues to help
students, faculty, friends and others
express themselves in uncommon ways
and celebrate innumerable milestones.

Cold weather brings frosted windows,foggy windshields and slick roads. These
conditions make it challenging for drivers tospot pedestrians. Thats why it is imperative
that pedestrians use crosswalks and warn-ing lights placed around campus. It is also
important to note that city and campus policecan and will give tickets for jaywalking.
On the morning of September 11, a ve-hicle hit a pedestrian on 400 north near the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day SaintInstitute buildings. The pedestrian was us-
ing a crosswalk, but the windshield of thevehicle was fogged and the dr iver didnt see
the pedestrian until the last minute.The injuries to the pedestrian and the
vehicle were minor, but the incident is a re-minder to everyone on campus to be careful
crossing the roads.The Utah Legislature denes the duties of
pedestrians and dr ivers. When trafc-control
signals are not in place or operation, driversare required to slow down or stop if necessary
when a pedestrian is crossing a crosswalkand is halfway through the lane the driver is
located in. The driver must also slow down orstop if a pedestrian is approaching the lane.
Pedestrians are instructed not to suddenlyleave a curb and run or walk into the path of a
vehicle, according to Utah Code 41-6a-1002.Crosswalks and warning lights were
placed on campus with the sole purpose ofkeeping people safe. However, it is difcult
to keep people safe when pedestrians refuseto take advantage of the safety precautions
available. Many choose to jaywalk and are in-creas their chances of getting in an accident.
According to a report from the NationalHighway Trafc Safety Administration
(NHTSA), in 2006, 21 percent of pedes-trian fatalities occurred in roadways where
crosswalks were available, but the pedestrianwasnt using it. The most haza rdous time for
a pedestrian to be on the road is between 8p.m. and 4 a.m. and even more so on the

Coach Vando
Chris Barneystaff [email protected]
On a street in South Brazil, Coach
echeli (Vando) heard a womans voiceall after him. He was new to the city, and
urprise fell on his face as he turned. Itas Mariana Gornati, whom he had met 8
ears earlier while coaching professionalasketball in Sao Paulo.
An encounter like this would often go
without consequence, but this was the begin-
ning of a relationship that would take himto the United States, Brazil, and back again.
We started going out, dating and the restis history. That was in 2004. By 2005, the
two were engaged, and marriage followedon Jan. 6, 2007.
So why isnt she with him in Pr ice now?Since moving to Price in 2008, the couple
visited Brazil each summer. Coach Vandoreturns to scout prospective players and
visit their families. Because health care is
more accessible in thei r native country, on
each return tr ip, the couple takes advantageand conducts their routine doctors check-
ups. In summer 2011, the routine resultsdidnt come back the way they had hoped.
Marianas gynecologist diagnosed her withuterine cancer in its early stages. Surgery
was performed to remove the malignantcells, and the Bechelis thought that was
the end of the cancer.In 2013 the cancer returned. Mariana
completed the semester at USU Eastern
and headed for Brazil once again, this
time without her husband. With no othertreatment options, the Bechelis opted for
radiation to kil l the cancer. Since April 2013,Coach Vando has lived alone in Price, with
his wife a ve-hour time difference away.The two talk daily to help each other make
it through the lonely months.The two aspire to have their rst child
at the termination of the radiation. CoachVando waits with anticipation until his wife

USU Eastern students mustbe registered for classes they are
attending according to univer-sity policy. However, they can
still add classes after the Sept.16 deadline, according to Noelle
E. Cockett, USU executive vicepresident and provost.
Ofcially, the last day toadd classes for fall semester was
Sept. 16. If a student was droppedfor nonpayment (the purge), he
or she must re-register by thatdate. After the Sept. 16 deadline,
the only way for a student to adda class is to complete a petition
for a late add form. The petition must include
a valid reason as to why thestudent did not register before
the deadline and must be ap-proved by an associate dean
or higher. Students whose peti-tions for a late add are granted
will be assessed an additional$20 per course late add fee for
a USU Eastern course. A USULogan student will be assessed
an additional $100 per course.Online and upper-division
courses at USU Eastern are

We all know that paying for college is no
easy task. College can be expensive. Thereare many costs: tuition, food, housing and,of course, fun money. Oh, how we all know
how difcult it is to get the money to pay for
responsibilities and pleasures. USU Eastern
students, have I got news for you. In Price,Utah, there are jobs available. You just need
to know how to get them.Start out with an agenda and list your
personal interests, your need for incomeand your resume. Also, I would advise tak-
ing into account any talents, capabilities orcertications you might have. These are
some steps you can take to landing a job.Never forget to listen to peers, teachers,
friends, parents, etc. They can give you vital
advice and aid you in your I want to makebillions process.
Here are some tips for nding and obtain-ing a job in or close to Price:
Do a web search. Google is your friend.
If you know what eld you would like to work

its a start, right? The following websiteswill help you search the Price a rea for jobs.
Give them a look:utah.jobs.topusajobs.com
jobs.utah.govsnagajob.com
Go to establishments and apply. Althoughyou might not get the job you absolutely
desire, if you see NOW HIRING and itssomething you are capable of doing, go for
it. Keep in mind that there is no harm in
applying, even if the place you apply doesnthave any job openings at the moment, you
still have a chance to work there when thereis an opening.Make friends in the eld you
wish to work. Having fr iends in high places
can be benecial.
Kiss butt. Lets be honest, every onekisses up when they want something. So
pucker up. It never hurts to be extremely nice.Like I have said, this will only benet you.

let one bad interview or not-so-great resumekill your spir its. This may sound cheesy, but
no one else is li ke you and I know you havegot what it takes to be the best at what you
do. So go do it!
There are tons of things you can do tond a job. You just need the motivation to
go out and search, even if it takes you days,
weeks or months.You cant give up hope. You have to take
the initiative and ght for what you want. So,

My Dear Watson,I auditioned for the school play
but wasnt cast. Im really upsetabout this and dont know what to
do. Is there anything I can do tomake myself feel better about this?
Blue and Distressed
Dear Blue, Having a let down like
that can be extremely disconcert-ing and can leave you feeling very
upset. Just remember one thing, noteveryone gets cast. In every walk
of life, there are going to be peoplewho succeed and people who have
to try again. Did you know that
Oprah Winfrey was red from one
of her rst jobs merely because they
believed her unt for TV? Oprah
is now one of the most famous TV
personalities in the world today.What would have happened if she
had given up? Just remember thatyou should never give up. If you
didnt get cast for this play, try outfor the next one. You may not have
t a character for this particular
production, but there are so many
different characters out there. Youare bound to be perfect for one
of them. Keep your head up and
continue trying!Sincerely, Watson([email protected])

In this season of thanksgiving,I am writing a piece about what
we should be thankful for. We, as
citizens of the United States, have
so much to be thankful for. This
country is the greatest in the world,
we have our faults, but were still
the best.
We should be thankful for good
health; I thank the lord every night
for this. I know some of you are
thinking, But James, you have
advanced MS. Yes, true. But,
today Im able to walk, today Im
able to eat food and keep it down,
today Im able to think and have a
clear mind. We all have things to
deal with in our lives, some more
severe than others, but we shouldall be thankful for our good health.
We should be thankful for our
men and women in the military. I
know that some are anti-military
and, while I think youre wrong,
I respect your decision. Now, my
ability to respectfully disagree
with you comes via the sacrice
and protection that were offered
through the military. Our military
is the best trained in the world. It
protects us and our interests, it
serves us, and it lets people a round
the world know that they really cant
mess with the USA! I love them
and can never thank them enough
for all they do. So, we should all be
thankful to the men and women in
our armed forces.We should be thankful for food
to eat and potable water; to us these
are things we dont even think
about. There are so many places
in this world that dont have these
simple requirements. So many
people around the world die be-
cause of disease-infected water or
because of starvation/malnutrition.
It shouldnt be this way but it is.
We should all be thankful for these
simple requirements that allow us
to live until the next day; we live
in a truly blessed land, it allows us
to grow strong and healthy like no
place on earth.
We should be thankful for
family. Its funny because a fewyears back, my family and I didnt
get along, not at all. I would bitch-
n-moan about something and my
family would set me straight on it;
I hated them for it. I always thought
they were wrong about everything,
but they werent. I always thought
they didnt like me, when in fact
they didnt like me, they loved me
instead.
To show everyone how amaz-
ing my family is, I have a story
to tell. About six months ago, my
living situation started to change; I
could no longer do the work I wasassigned, people were being rude
and abusing me. So, at the age of33, I decided to move back in with
my parents. Now, my parents arepoor, but good people. And while
Ive been living here, they have bentover backwards to help me in any
way possible; only family has beenthere for me when things in my life
have gotten really hard. At the timeof my divorce, my family was there;
at my diagnoses of MS, my familywas there; when I decided to return
to get my education, my family wasthere. Im so thankful for my family
and the amazing people they are.This is my short list of the th ings
Im very thankful for. Of course, mylist includes many other things, but
for the scope of this article I know
it fullls. I want everyone to sit
down and write the things yourereally thankful for, not things like
cars, TVs, Playstations or clothing.
But, things that help you. You will
have incredible memories that willlast a lifetime.
And donot forgetto thankthe peoplein your lifethat help you
each andeveryday of
your dailylife.
What we should be thankful for
For the underqualified, overqualified and everything in between
Thumbs Up:
-Life in the dorms
-The wonderful faculty
-Campus Police and Security
-The tuition costs at USU Eastern
-The awesome activities
Thumbs Down:
-The food in the cafeteria-Limited classes available each
semester
-The quality of some of the classes
-Doing homework

The residential staff welcomes a
new member to their team, Natalie
Greenhalgh, the new hall director
of Aaron Jones. She grew up in
Price and decided to come back to
her hometown so her husband could
get his degree in nursing. While
they were growing up, they both
attended several sporting events
and had a love for this college so
it is a great opportunity for her to
come back and work at the campus
she loves so much.
Greenhalgh was born and raised
in Price with four older siblings.
She graduated from Carbon High
School in 2005 and came to The
College of Eastern Utah and earned
her associate of business degree in
2007. After graduating f rom CEU,
she transferred to University of
Utah where she pursued her bach-
elors degree in nance. She was
married in 2008 and graduated with
her bachelors in 2009. In March
2010 she had her rst chi ld, Jantz,
and their second child, Kezlee, in
December 2012. The days that mytwo beautiful children were born
have been the best days of my l ife.
There is nothing more precious
than the sight of new life.
Growing up she has had a lot
of opportunities to serve others
which has brought a great sense
of achievement in her life because
she was able to bless other peoples
lives and inuence them for the
better. She would not be able to do
this without the help of her father,
who was the biggest inuence for
good in her life. Greenhalgh states,
He taught me from a young age
to be a hard worker and to go after
your dreams. He encouraged me to
get an education and to be the best
person I can be.
She says that the best thing
about being the hall director of
Aaron Jones is interacting with
people and getting to know each
student living on campus and see-
ing the diversity with each student.
Gaining friendships and trust is a
high priority in my life and I have
been able to accomplish this as a
hall director, she says.
As a new member of the resi-
dential life staff, Greenhalgh hopes
to encourage a positive attitude on
campus. She hopes to increase the
retention and bring more students to
the halls. By doing this, she hopesto allow USU Eastern students
to have a better experience while
pursuing their educations.

college towards earning a degree,or transferring to an institution
where they can earn a four-yeardegree, he says.
Although different, he is stillexcited because in his new job, he
will stil l get to work with studentsand help them be successful, which
is what he loves most about workingin higher education.
There are advantages withchanging positions.
I wont have to travel as much,so that will be nice. I will spend
more time with my family in theevenings and the weekends, says
Hurst, and I will still get to plansome activities for students, which
is something I enjoy.Aside from quality family time,
the position offers an increase inpay, as well as the title of director,
which is a step up from h is positionat Eastern.
He says, The position feelsright, and I think its a great op-
portunity.With Hurst leaving, the obvious
concern is what will happen withthe ambassador team, and who will
replace him as admissions advisornow that he is gone. Kristian Olson
will take over as advisor of theambassador team.
We have a really strong ambas-sador team. We have great leaders
on the team. To be an ambassador, ittakes a certain caliber of individual
who is outgoing, friendly, mind-ful of others, can make personal
connections and relationships,says Hurst, and so I dont see the
transition being a problem justbecause of the strong individuals
on the team. Plus I feel like Kristianis a strong leader and he has had
experience advising ambassadorteams before, so that should make
for a smooth transition.As far as his other position, he
wont be replaced immediately.For the present, at least until
next semester, enrollment serviceswill hire two temporary satellite
recruiters who live on the WasatchFront. The main concern is to
ensure that there are sufcient
representatives from USU Eastern
to attend the High School Tour,which is an agreement among
the colleges in Utah to visit highschools around the state. These
temporary positions will replaceHursts full time position until
next semester at which point theschool will be looking for a full
time admissions advisor.What Hurst will miss most is
advising the ambassadors, but hefeels like the team is in good hands,
and the new position in Ohio iswhere he needs to be.
plans for school. Because of one
of his friends, Curwen decided
to come to USU Eastern for thelow tuition and the great stories
he was hearing.While at USU Eastern, Curwen
met the girl of his dreams, MelanieRhodes, and they were married in
April 2013, the best day of Cur-wens life so far he said. Melanie
and Curwen are expecting theirrst child, a baby boy.
Last year he was a residentadviser over Tucker Hall and
interviewed to become a halldirector for 2013-2014. Although
hall director is different from theRA position, Curwen loves it. He
says that the best thing about beinga hall director is free housing, but
he also loves being involved oncampus. Helping students, lead-
ers and making friends is one ofmy favorite things to do at college.
It is the perfect job for me.Curwen has a lot of new and
exciting ideas to bring to residen-tial life on campus and many new
goals for the upcoming year. Ihope to bring a f un experience for
the RAs, and also want to help thestudents have a great experience
as well. My goal is to make theresident halls the place to live.
Preparing for his future andgetting ready to start his family,
Curwen plans to continue workinghard and accept whatever comes
his way.Throughout his life, he has
had great experiences and greatpeople who have shaped his life.
His parents played a huge part inthis, especially his dad. He has
shaped the way I live, think andwork. He and my mom both have
been a great help in shaping my
life for the better.

mends pedestrians keep alert atall times and refrain f rom using
electronic devices that could dis-tract from crossing a busy road.
They advise never to assume
a driver will see a pedestrian.
The NHTSA also advises driv-
ers to look out for pedestrians
everywhere and slow down and
be prepared to stop when ap-
proaching a crosswalk.
Using the crosswalks is not
difcult and it tremendously de-
creases the chances of getting in
an accident. Dont become an ac-
cident. Safe crossing everyone.
The messages they paint
on its surface come and go.
But despite the fleeting livesof the messengers, Gibby
steadfastly remains, solid
as Gibraltar, its namesake.
There is comfort in t hat andwill likely be just as reassur-
ing to those toasting the col-
leges 100 thanniversary in 25
short years from now. Happyanniversary Gibby.

So far, the treatment issued byDr. Gouveia has worked well.
Only one more shot is needed,followed by a re-evaluation to
see if Mariana is fertile.
Its hard to be in Utah and notbe a mother. I will turn 45, andshe is 33. We gotta have our baby

she is not with me.Despite the trials of chemo-
therapy, Mariana manages tocontinue her schoolwork. She is
enrolled in the masters programof education online through Utah
State University in Logan with an
endorsement in ESL.Its a lot of work, she says.
Mariana considers Price hersecond home. She began taking
classes at the college when shejoined her husband here, and
learned English while workingin the cafeteria. That helped her
overcome her fear of speaking,and today, both are adept English-
speakers. She completed her
bachelors degree, with a 4.0 GPA.She has been recognized by USU
for her academic achievement.
It appears the future will bebright for the happy couple, there
is after all, l ight at the end of thetunnel. Dec. 16, Mariana will
return to Price. The long wait willnally be over, just in time for

An instructors signature will
not guarantee that a student will beadded, even if the student has beenattending the class, according to
an email from Cockett.Cockett lists some of the valid
reasons for adding classes afterthe cutoff date are: internships,
co-op work experience, PE 1900(club sports), addition of credits
to a variable-credit course, directsection swap (e.g., switch from one
section of USU 1320 to anothersection), and MSL or AS courses

policy from USU Logan stu-

policy is to try to nalize enroll-ment numbers by the third week

numbers from Day 15 of classes
are reported to the Board of Re-gents. It all goes back to the policy
that all students who are attendingmust be registered.

Suzanne Collins wows readers with
plot twists, character development andemotional chaos in book two of three,
Catching Fire.Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark
are once again thrown into a love-haterelationship. While still dealing with the
emotional side effects of last years HungerGames, they must pretend to be deeply in
love to protect what they hold dea r. Family.President Snow makes this point clear.
Katnisss ability to cheat the outcome ofthe Games has caused uprisings. And
uprisings lead to revolutions. He threatensthat if Katniss cannot convince the world
she is madly in love with Peeta, friendswill be tortured and family members will
be executed.If Katniss cannot get this spark under
control, chaos will ensue.However, Katniss is still torn between
loving Peeta and having a relationshipwith her hunting partner Gale.
Katniss confides in her mentor,Haymitch. He explains that this love with
Peeta is permanent. Because Katniss andPeeta won the Games, they will be men-
tors to future tributes. This will continuefor the rest of their lives. They will be on
TV every year at the Hunger Games andpublically displayed. They must pretend to
be in love forever, if they want to protecttheir families. They must fake happily
ever after together.In the midst of being emotionally torn,
Katniss and Peeta are forced to go to all12 districts to attend ceremonies.
First, they travel to District 11. DuringPeetas speech, he promises two families
they will receive one month of his win-nings every year, for the rest of his life
in repayment of their children helpinghim in the Games. Katn iss expresses her
gratitude for the districts help, as well.The plan to calm the rebellion back
res.The crowd answers by putting three
ngers to their lips, and raising their handsin the air; a sign of gratitude and unity,
before the Capital took over and forbidthis action.
Peacekeepers shoot at the crowd.Three people are killed.
In the rest of the districts Peeta andKatniss are given scripted speeches. It was
not Katnisss intention to fan the ameof rebellion. They must try to correct
this mistake.
As a last effort, Katniss and Peeta
announce they are going to get married.It isnt enough. The president is not
pleased. Districts are still rebelling. It istoo late.
Finally, Katniss is allowed to returnhome. But things have changed. There are
extra guards, more Peacekeepers, and thelaw is strictly being enforced.
Gale is caught illegally hunting. He iswhipped more than 20 times. Katniss love
for Gale is rekindled.She tells him about the rebellion. Dis-
tricts are battling Peacekeepers. Gale wantsto do the same, but Katniss convinces him
District 12 is too weak.Once again it is time for the Hunger
Games. Because it has been 75 years sincethe revolution, this years Games are extra
special. Tributes will be chosen from vic-tors who have won previous Games.
Katniss is devastated. She is the onlyfemale from her district to ever win.
This is the presidents way of eliminat-ing the rebellion. If he can kill Katniss, the
girl on re, he can smother the rebellion.And once again she is trapped in an area
with Peeta and 22 other tributes, competingfor her life. This time, she decides she is
going to compete for Peetas life.Catching Fire captures readers at-
tention with meaningful characters andinteresting plot twists.
The movie, Catching Fire, will be re-leased in theaters on Nov. 22, 2013.

The Zombie Drug used on the streets an inexpensive heroine substitute, liter-
lly rots the skin and other soft tissuesf the body from the inside out, giving
he skin both the look and feel of green,ough scales and usually results in limb
mputation and/or death.The DEA released a fact sheet in
ctober 2013 on Desomorphine, betternown by its street names Krokodil and
rocodil, a morphine der ivative 10 timesore potent than morphine. Desomor-
hine is classied in the same opiateamily as heroin, oxycodone and codeine.
Although there have been reports of
uspected Krokodil drug use cases intah, Arizona, Oklahoma and Illinois, it
is difcult to say exactly how many casesthere really are. The National Forensic
Laboratory Information System, a DEAdatabase system that collects scientically
veried data, identied two cases in 2004.The DEAs fact sheet states that no
others exhibits have been ofcially identi-ed as desomorphine since 2004. One of
the things the forensic laboratory needsto conrm a Krokodil case is a sample
of the drug that was being used.Ofcially conrmed cases are small
in number, however, there have sti ll beenunconrmed reports of deaths caused by
Krokodil use. The narcotics strike forceagent we spoke to said that one of the
two suspected cases reported in Utahinvolved a USU student, before press time
we unable to obtain further conrmationof the details surrounding this incident.
Reports show that in Russia at least a100,000 users injected the drug in 2011,
while the Ukraine reports 20,000. Both
numbers are alarming given the majority
are young rst-time opiate users.
Photos showing the effects of Krokodil
use are horric and not for those with a
weak stomach. The soft tissue damage
done by this drug leaves blackened n-
gertips, green rotting skin that appears to
be falling off the victims bones.
Krokodil can be cooked up in some-
ones home just as easily as meth, but the
mortality rates are high.
Opiates are extremely addictive and
the road to recovery is there and there
are methods of treatment to help during
an extremely difcult withdrawal period.
Medical and psychological experts feel
that just overcoming the addiction is not
enough. Treatment for the underlying
cause of use in the rst place is just asimportant if not more so.
Frightening zombie drug no hoax

Today, we join our White Housecolleagues in celebrating National
Breast Cancer Awareness month;and almost four weeks into the
launch of the Health Insurance
Marketplace, Im reminded of thetremendous impact the Affordable
Care Act has on the lives ofAmerican women.
As the president said, the law ismuch more than just a website - its
affordable, quality health insur-ance made available to everyone.
Through the Marketplace, 18.6
million uninsured women havenew opportunities for affordable,
accessible coverage. And if youreone of the 85 percent of Americans
who already have insurance, todayyou have stronger coverage and
more choices than ever before.Important preventive services
are now available to women at noadditional cost. These include
an annual well woman visit,screening for breast, cervical,
and colorectal cancer; certaincontraceptive methods; smoking-
cessation treatment and services;breastfeeding support and equip-
ment; screening and counselingfor interpersonal and domes-
tic violence; immunizations;and many more.
Thanks to the healt h care law,more than 47 m illion women have
guaranteed access to preventive
services without cost-sharing.These preventive services are
critical to keeping women healthy.For example, breast cancer is the
most common cancer affectingwomen and the second leading
cause of cancer death for womenin the United States, after lung
cancer. But when breast cancer iscaught early and treated, survival
rates can be near 100 percent.The Affordable Care Act also
protects womens access to qual-ity health care. No one can be
denied health insurance coveragebecause of a preexisting health
condition, such as breast cancer,pregnancy, depression or being
a victim of domestic violence.And there are no more an nual and
lifetime dollar limits on coverage.Today, health plans in the mar-
ketplace offer a comprehensive
package of 10 essential health ben-ets, including maternity care. An
estimated 8.7 million Americanwomen currently purchasing
individual insurance will gaincoverage for mater nity services,
and most women will no longerneed a referral from a primary
care provider to obtain obstetricalor gynecological services.
Cost has also been a signicantbarrier to care for many women.
According to one study, in 2010,one third of women spent 10 per-
cent or more of their income onpremiums and out of pocket costs.
For low-income women, thatsituation is much worse over half
of women who make $11,490 peryear or less spend at least $1,149
a year on care. But through themarketplace 6 out of 10 uninsured
individuals can get coverage for
$100 or less.This year, as in every year,
women will make important de-cisions for themselves and their
families about health care. Theycan apply for coverage in several
ways through the marketplace:online at Healthcare.gov; over
the phone by calling the 24/7customer service center (1-800-
318-2596, TTY 1-855-889-4325);working with a trained person
in their local community (FindLocal Help); or by submitting a
paper application by mail.The six-month enrollment pe-
riod has just begun. And unlike asale on Black Friday, coverage will
not run out; it will not get moreexpensive. Sign up by Dec. 15,
2013 for coverage start ing as earlyas Jan. 1, 2014. Open enrollment
continues until March 31, 2014.

There comes a time in a persons lifewhen they realize that people do not
appreciate them walking around in cos-
tumes asking for candy. This is something
that is hard for most people to give up.
At USU Eastern though, you can get
your trick-or-treating x without having
parents worry about your ability to lead
a productive life. You can have your Hal-
loween fun by helping the SUN Center
with Trick-or-Treat for Food.
Trick-or-Treat for Food is where
students go from house to house asking
for food donations to take to the Carbon
County Food Bank.
This year, 21 volunteers met for Trick-
or-Treat for Food on Oct. 25, 2013 at 5
p.m. Sarah Olsen was in charge and waspleased with the results. I think that
the Trick-or-Treat for Food activity is a
fantastic way for the college to reach out
to the community.
The students get the opportunity both
to have fun trick-or-treating, and to
gather food for the food bank. The people
donating food have the opportunity to
contribute to the community as well. And
of course the people who will receive the
food benet. Its a win all around.
Olsen had planned three routes for
the college to go to collect food, and the
Carbon High School FCCLA club did two
routes. The college volunteers brought in
over 500 pounds of food to the food bank.
If you missed this years Trick-or-Treating for Food, be on the look-out for
upcoming opportunities.
November is full of food drive op-
portunities. Every Monday in November,
USUE hosts the annual Bread N Soup
Night where all the proceeds goes toward
the food bank.
Also the LDS Institute is hosting a
Food Drive on Nov. 4th. Unfortunately
none of the food drives in November
involve dressing up, but all donations
still go to the Carbon County Food Bank.

Eastern Utah Theat res second pro-
duction The Real Inspector Hound
follows two theatre critics who are
watching a ludicrous setup of a country
housemurder mystery,in the style of
awhodunit. By chance, they become
involved in the action causing a series
of events that parallel the play they
are watching.
Directed by Corey Ewan, Ph.D., the
short, one-act play by Tom Stoppard
opens three weeks after Zombie Prom
closed, with a brisk rehearsal periodthat will put t he college actors through
their paces as they ready for the Nov.
14 opening night.
Hound tells the story of two feuding
theatre critics, Moon and Birdboot,
the rst is a pompous and vindictive
second stringer, the second, a stuffy
philanderer, who are swept into the
whodunit they are viewing.
In the tradition of Agatha Christie
melodramas, fog envelops a group of
people trapped in isolated Muldoon
manor with a body hidden under a sofa,
the arrival of a suspicious young man
connected to the ladies in the house
and the arrival of an inspector from
Scotland Yard.
As mists rise around these potential
victims, Moon and Birdboot become
dangerously implicated in the lethal
activities of an escaped madman.
The cast is comprised of Eastern
Utah Theatre veterans Braden Nelson,
Josh Bone and Joshua-David Zelasko,
as well as talented freshman, Mac-
kylin Rowe from Liberty Preparatory
Academy, Jennifer Thomas of GrangerHigh School, Josie Slade from Orem
High School and Lesly Gaona from
Pinevivew High School.
According to Ewan, this production
will be presented in a more intimate
setting so you will want to get there
early to get a seat for what the New
York Times has referred to as, zanily,
crazi ly funny, and the New York Post
said was, comedy satire of delightful
quality.
The play is presented in the Geary
Theatre at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 14, 15,
16, 21, 22, 23.

I need help was the statement
that began a much needed journey
of healing and hope rescuing Sam
from his decision to commit sui-
cide. (The name of the USU Easternstudent has been changed).
Sam grew up in a verbal and
physically abusive home where at
12, Sam was sexually molested by
his father. At 14, Sam was r aped
for the rst time by a friend and
again at 16 by another friend.
He married at 17, only to suffer
repeated rape and severe mental
abuse. His abusers were stereo
typically not someone who would
ever commit such a terrible cri me,
at least not in the eyes of those
around them.
Sams abusers preyed on his
weaknesses instead of being there
in time of need or as a protection
against such actions. He said, For
years I carried the blame, guilt and
shame for what others had done to
me. Unfortunately for Sam, this
guilt and shame became a weight
too heavy to bear and crushed his
self-esteem.
I guess it started out slowly,
I already felt pretty worthless be-
cause of what had happened to me
years earlier, although at the time
I didnt realize that was the root of
why I felt the way I did, he sa id.
Sam did the usual things that
those who are entertaining the idea
of suicide do. I guess in a way I
had to justify to myself why it was
OK to end things. I started talkingreally bad about myself to others.
Sam took medication for de-
pression and was not seeing a
psychologist or a counselor. Taking
medication alone can be effective
for some, but in other cases, not
seeking profession help in treating
depression can disguise the under-
lying problem, allowing depression
to fester and grow like an untreated
infection.
Over time, Sams body had
changed and the medication that
had been prescribed was no longer
working as it should have been. Sam
and his family missed the signs
that something was wrong until it
was almost too late. He said, Just
getting out of bed for the day was
a major accomplishment even if all
I did was sit on the couch.
Being around people would
trigger panic and anxiety attacks
that only made things worse for
Sam. Realizing that something was
wrong, Sam went to the doctor to
discuss why he was experiencing
such a prolonged period of low
feelings of self-worth and having
thoughts of suicide.
It was at that appointment that
I asked for help. I told my doctor, I
cant do this anymore. I am done.
I really just dont want to live
anymore, he said.His doctor referred him to a
psychologist and also made adjust-
ments to Sams medications. The
psychologist said, on a scale of
one to ten, Sam was at an eight for
risk of actually committing suicide.
The only reason he was not rated
a ten was because the decision of
how to go about actually ending
life had not been planned out yet.
Sams psychologist asked for
permission to speak with his spouse
and enlist her assistance in helping
Sam through this difcult time. His
spouse and family made sure Sam
was never left alone, all medica-
tions were put under lock and key in
addition to all rearms being stored
at another family members home
until the doctor, psychologist and
Sams family agreed that the crisis
he had been facing was indeed over.
Sam said, Without the help,
love and support of those around
me I wouldnt be here today. I would
have killed myself. Reaching out
and getting the help that is needed
is such an important step in heal ing
a broken, battered and an abusive
past no matter what age the abuse
began or how long it lasted.
Darrin Brandt, director of USU
Easterns counseling and disability
resource center said, Huge emo-
tional upheaval needs to be takenseriously and making sure the ball
is not dropped when someone is
hurting bad. Connecting people in
crisis to resources like doctors and
therapists is important.
Sam allowed us to share a part
of the journey that was experienced
on the road to healing and once
again nding hope, joy and purpose
for living. Not all who experience
depression or have thoughts and
feelings of committing suicide will
have had the same experiences that
began Sams downward spiraling
journey.
If someone you know exhibits
warning signs of suicide, dont
leave them alone. Be sure that any
firearms, alcohol, medications
and sharp objects are not acces-
sible. Either you or the person in
crisis should call the U.S. National
Suicide Prevent Lifeline at 900-
273-TALK (8255). Be sure to also
seek help from medical or mental
health professionals.

Theres a new face in
the USU Eastern campus
store. April Buscarini, Eastern
alumni returned after several
years to ll the new assistant
manager position.
Buscarini is from Price and
is a graduate of Carbon High
School. She earned her asso-
ciates degree at USU Eastern
in Decem-
ber 2010,
so shes no
stranger to
the school, or
the campus
store. While
attending the
university,
she worked
at the cam-
pus store,
holding a
general po-
sition. Now
shes back,
but this time
as the assis-tant manager. She is in charge
of making sure that the campus
store receives all of the neces-
sary supplies.
Before she returned, she
moved onto Dixie State, where
she got engaged after attend-
ing for one semester. She met
her anc, Jordan Buscarini,
in Price before moving. They
continued to date even though
he lived in Price and she lived
in St. George.
After Jordan proposed, they
moved back to Price together.
Jordan earned his bachelorsdegree in broadcasting from
SUU, and is now a sports broad-
caster for USU Eastern on the
radio, and during live games. He
also is an announcer for com-
munity events. Together they
are bringing great things to the
community and the university.
Buscarini chose to work at
the campus store over other jobs
because of the campus store
manager, Susan Leonard. My
favorite thing about the campus
store is the people I work with
and the environment I work in.
Susan is a great person to work
for. And I enjoy doing projects
with the two cashiers, Lauren
Smith and Candace Reid. They
are all fun to be around and
there is never a boring moment
when we are working together.
Buscarini claims that her
favorite customer is Duane
Hanson, a custodian. Almost
every day he
comes into
the campus
store to get a
soda. When he
purchases his
soda he always
has to tell us
a joke before
leaving. Its
something I
now look for-
ward to.
She also
describes the
most annoying
part about thecampus store. When custom-
ers come into the campus store,
the rst thing I hear is the sensor
go off. Its only to make the
employees aware that they are
in the store. But sometimes
we get a customer that will say,
Im not stealing anythi ng, or
they stop right on the sensor
and it keeps beeping because
they dont move, thinking they
did something wrong. So for
the future, the sensor does not
mean you are stealing or you
did something wrong. It is for us
who work at the campus store.
The campus store is openMonday through Friday from
7 a.m. to 6 p.m., and is closed
on weekends and holidays. Its
inventory has recently changed,
with the addition of new T-
shirts and hats that come in
a variety of colors and styles.
Buscarini invites custom-
ers to stop in the campus
store. We are always get-
ting new things in so stop
on by and see whats new.

The return of basketballs Derrick Rose
April 28, 2012: Derrick Rose
crashed to the oor grabbing his
left knee. Tearing his ACL put him
and the Chicago Bulls at risk. This
was huge for the Bulls; not having
your star player for the rest of the
season makes it pretty hard to win.
May 2012: After a few weeks
and pre-surgery rehabilitation,
Rose underwent knee surgery.
Bulls physician Dr. Brian Cole,
says Rose knee looked great
during surgery. August 14, Rose
returns to the basketball court and
not saying he was cleared to do
everything that he can, but he was
able to do stationary things, like
shots, etc.
November 2012: Rose was
cleared to play and start cutting.
This was one of the biggest steps
for Rose, cutting is a huge factor
for him because that involves the
knee. For a player like Rose, was
athletic and use speed, being able
to shift weights, at a nick of time is
critical for him. Rose said, Right
now cutting is the hardest thing
in the world right now to do. Im
scared of it. And right when I think
I get that out of my system, I think
Ill be pretty close where I have
to prove to them that Im ready to
play. Hopefully it (doesnt) take the
whole year.
December 2012: Rose nally
started cutting and getting into a
running habit. That is one thing
for him but, hitting the oor forthe first time is unreal. Most
people thought Rose was going to
play in the games faster than they
expected him too, but that was not
the case for him. With new faces
coming in for the Bulls, his return
to practice was critical to help his
team develop. Also developing
timing and taking the baby steps
to the offense. Condence is a huge
thing for Rose and his knee. Rose
was going to basketball activities
and rehabbing as hard as he can to
get the condence in his knee back.
January 2013: Coach Thibodeau
announced Rose was back to full-
contact practices which is huge
for Rose. It means he can drive to
the lane and he can get bumped,
play hard defense, get screened.
Basically, it means he can actua lly
play basketball now.
April 2013: Sources say that
Rose is completely healthy. If that
is true, why didnt he start playing
in any games? Rose states, Im not
a selsh guy at all, but having thi
sinjury and knowing what I had to
go through and being smart, this is
something I had to be selsh with.
I couldnt worry about anyone else
but myself and my health, it was
hard, and one of the hardest things
Ive ever had to go through in my
life. He continues, After surgery
when you start running, when you
have an injury like this, there are
stages you have to go through.
Im still going through my stages.
Im not done yet. This is the most
I ever worked on my craft and
most focused Ive ever been in my
NBA career.
October 2013: Rose nally re-
turned to play against the Indiana
Pacers. He had nine assists, was 4-7
from the 3-point range and had 32
points and a win. In the preseason
he has been incredible, averaging
20.71 points, ve assist and 3.3
rebounds per game. On top of that,
he is shooting 44.4 percent from
deep. As my father always tells me,
hes back.

The Golden Eagles volleyball team may play in the
toughest region in the NJCAA. According to the most
recent poll, four out of the six teams in Region 18 are
ranked in the Top 20, two in the Top 10. Recently the
team played two of those top ranked teams on the road
before returning home to play the only other team that
is un-ranked in the Scenic West Athletic Conference.
The team started their weekend road trip taking
on the College of Southern Idaho, currently ranked
eighth in the nation. In the rst set, USU Eastern was
not much of a match for CSI but in the last two sets theGolden Eagles were able to challenge the home team.
CSI won in three sets; 14-25, 22-25, 21-25. The Golden
Eagles played a sound game with only 11 errors while
forcing CSI into 17 errors; however, the Golden Eagles
were unable to capitalize getting only 25 kills while
allowing CSI 49. Several different players stood out
for the team throughout the game, Carly Dalton led
in points and kills with 8.5 and 8 respectively, Paige
Peterson had 10 assists and 8 digs although Lauren
Karn led in the later set with 10 digs.
Two days after facing CSI in Twin Falls, USU
Eastern drove up to Coeur dAlene Idaho, to face
North Idaho College as the last part of their road
trip. NIC is currently 16 in the nation. USU Eastern
played another solid game but that was still not quite
enough for them to over take NIC, losing in three sets;
20-25, 20-25, 20-25. The Golden Eagles once again
cut down on their errors with only 15 throughout the
three sets while getting 25 kills. NIC had 20 errors
but still managed 41 kills. Dalton along with Amanda
Freestone led the team in points with nine apiece, with
eight of Daltons points coming from kills. Peterson
also shared the lead in assists with Masi Steele, both
recording 11 on the stat sheet.
After three weekends on the road, the Golden
Eagles nally got to play at home in the Bunnell-
Dmitrich Athlet ic Center to take on Colorado North-
western Community College. The Golden Eagles were
able to make quick work of the Spartans winning in
three sets; 12-25, 18-25, 20-25. The team capital ized,getting 33 kills compared to their 13 errors, while
CNCC had 27 kills but 26 errors. Dalton once again
led in several different categories of the box score for
the Golden Eagles, scoring 9.5 points and recording
9 kills. Peterson led for the third weekend in a row in
the assist category with 14. Karn shared apart of the
lead in the dig category with Koralys Gonzalez who
both recorded 14 digs.
The team will nish out their season in the BDAC
against Snow College, ranked 15, on Nov. 1 and Salt
Lake Community College, ranked 7, on Nov. 2.
On Nov. 8 and 9, the Golden Eagles will play in
the Region 18 tournament playing either Snow or NIC
in the rst round.

Coachs new game plan may set records

Head Womens Basketball Coach Dave
Paur says, We are going to do some-
thing no womens team has ever done
If were hotwe are going to set records. Those
are some bold claims. What makes Coach Paur
so condent? The secret weapon is a strategy
used by Grinnell College in Iowa.
Grinnells strategy is basically to shoot the
ball every 7-14 seconds and half of the shotsbeing three pointers.
Coach Paurs idea is to trade twos for t Every
time the opponents hit a two, the Eagles are
going hit a three and send th ree rebounders for
second chance opportunities. Coach Paur said,
If I am going to lose, its going to be 100-90.
everybody says womens basketball is boring.
We arent going to be boring.
This strategy requires a fast-paced game.
What happens when you play half court teams
such as Snow or North Idaho who love to slow
things down on the offensive by waiting for
up to 10 passes until they take a shot? Paurs
reply, For us to shoot every 7-14 seconds our
opponents need to shoot every 7-14 seconds.
How are the Lady Eagles going to get their
opponents to play at their fast pace? They are
going to full court press them after made and
missed shots. On top of that they are going todouble team the ball and have three players act
as interceptors, whose main purpose will be
to play the passing lanes and create turnovers.
Coach Paurs goal is for 25 or more turnovers
per game.
Playing this kind of defense can
cause some lay-ups at times but Coach Paur
said, If somebody scores, you dont care
youre going to push the ball down the oor and
shoot it, and youre going to keep doing itgood
teams are going to score. Therefore, you might
lose 100-90, but Im tired of losing 65-60.
Coach Paur is aware that this type of high
tempo offense and defense is obviously going to
wear out his players so he has prepared substitu-
tion rotations. Every 45 seconds to one minute
and 30 seconds, he is going to substitute players
and not just one player, but the entire team. This
will continually keep fresh legs on the court andput a lot of pressure on the opponents.
Paur said, In the last couple years of my
coaching, Im going to do something no coach
has ever done. Lets see i f this season we can
see our Lady Eagles break some records.
freshmen year of college is the
scariest and the most benecial
time of our lives. It is where we
learn what we need for future
careers and it is where we are able
to make friendships that will last.

government where she is the
diversity representative. Being
in student government has helpedme to be more involved with the
school and the students. The best
part she says about being i nvolved
in student government is that she
is able to meet new students and
work with them. She also feels
that being in student government
is like having a job, everyday she
is helping and planning new events
for the college students.

basketball again this year. She
loves the girls on the team and theopportunity she has to play
basketball on a college level.
She feels that the games the
team has played so far have been
interesting and fun. Also withthis new season, many games will
be played out of the state of Utah,
which means that there will be a lot
of hours spent on the road t raveling.
The bus trips will be long, but
hopefully fun and not too boring.
