Automotive student, Jorge Lascanos father, Edison Lascano, shot the lunar eclipse from 10 p.m. April 14 to 4 a.m. April 15. He shot an image every 10 minutes to show when the moon passed directly behind the Earth and into its shadow. This occurs only when the Sun, Earth and Moon are aligned with the Earth in the middle. A lunar eclipse can only occur the night of a full moon. According to Wikipedia, the type and length of an eclipse depend upon the Moons location relative to its orbital nodes. The lunar eclipse lasts for a few hours and can be viewed from anywhere on the night side of the Earth.
Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) requires anyone who will work in or on a mine site for any reason to receive safety training courses. These courses range from one to four days in length and train on surface and underground mines. Safety training is immeasurably important, especially when working in a hazardous environment. Receiving the proper training can mean the difference between a safe work environment and serious or fatal injury. Like all other USU Eastern programs, the mining department boasts an affordable price tag, charging an average of $90 per course and $115 for a dual certification. Other MSHA trainings can cost $100 per day, easily tripling the cost offered at Eastern. Evans and Mabbutt agree that their mission is to make quality train-

march to the beat of my own drum. I am unconventional at all times because I can be. Even the people who love me the most have opinions of what I should do to be better. The greatest people who have walked this planet were different from the societal norms in which they lived. We should not be shaped by the cookie-cutter ideals of our times no matter what our culture and leaders tell us. All the power we will ever possess in the world is based off our ability to choose. To be happy, we must also avoid vices that restrict out ability to make decisions. We have to find standards that we know to be right and live by them. This is where we find real happiness. The last piece of advice to be happy is found in loving unconditionally. Hate and happy only have two letters in common and other than that, they are polar opposites. We must learn to love others, especially when it is hard. The people who are the hardest to love are the ones who need it the most. When we learn to love others, we learn to love ourselves. How exactly do we love others? To put it simply, you serve those you love. We need to put our wants on the backburner to take care of others needs first. I can say I love my friends and family, but until I do something to show that love, I am simply talking. Service and love are key ingredients in happiness. I am who I am, I do what I have to do, I love who I love, and that makes me happy.

without effort. You need to work hard and be responsible when it comes to schoolwork. Take advantage of the opportunity you have to get your education because not everyone gets that. Also do not overload yourself with hard classes. Spread them out throughout each semester. By doing this you will not be overwhelmed and get stressed. Our lives are stressful enough; there is not need to add more because you dont have time to do everything. Prioritize your time so you have time for your schoolwork, but you also have time to attend school activities and meet new people. Some of the closest friends I have, I have met at USU Eastern. Get involved because these are the best times of your life and this is when you will make the best memories. Have fun and stay committed. Make your college career a great and memorable experience. Enjoy the transition from a child to an adult and bask in the time when we dont have to worry about the stresses of adulthood because I hate to break it to everyone, but adulthood stinks and the more time we get to be a kid, the better.

of our minds. Its hard to wrap our minds around completing school in Price. When I came here, I stuck out like a sore thumb. Although it took a while to embrace, the change that Price, Merica has forced me to undergo was due to the perfect time, perfect place. I decided to come to Price two weeks before the Fall 2013 semester. It was the best decision Ive made in the last year. There are a lot of people, ideas and philosophies to which I could attribute the change that has taken place in my own life over the last eight months. However, at the root of it all remains an open mind. I compare having an open mind to soil begging for plants to fill its empty space.
The larger your garden, the more beautiful and diverse it can be. I thought my garden was big until I came to Price. After all, 22 years isnt enough time to know much about anything, but the young students at Eastern might as well try to fill up the soft soil while they can. So how can we go about filling our soil? Where do we begin? It may be surprising to note that, from my own experience, many students, old and young, are looking for a sense of purpose, far beyond that of filling graduation requirements. My mother told me once; its not about what you know, its about who you know. In the reality of things, its professional and academic references that will score the pay raises, the
career jobs, the scholarships and entrances to graduate programs. No matter where you are in life, it pays to attend USU Eastern. Walk up 300 East and climb to the top of Wood Hill, at sundown. If you look around you, the geography of Eastern Utah stretches on for miles. Wouldnt it be a shame to leave opportunities like that unplanted in your soil? The colors are intensified as the sun nears the horizon. Similar things happen at the end of each chapter of our lives. Almost like the last 4 months of hard work and difficulties are being burned into our memories. Price startled, humbled, taught and returned the love I started to develop. It is what you make it.

About coming back to college 26 years after his high school graduation, he said, feeling the energy, and just being a student was awesome on campus. My fellow students were so fun to hang out with. I was a poor student in high school and was also very timid. When I started at CEU, I committed to being bold and to immersing myself in the college experiencewhich I did. In classes I felt like a sponge soaking up new concepts and expanding my knowledge and understanding. All of my teachers at CEU were outstanding and many of them went above and beyond to help and coach me. A few favorite moments at CEU were learning about geology from Michelle Fleck, having dinner on Sunday evenings with Larry Severeid while discussing literature, meeting Bo Christensen and going on many river trips with him, including the

Frederick got straight As at CEU, with the exception of math and biology. He said, Getting an A, for the most part, is earned by doing the work the teacher assigns. Do your work on time, be engaged in classroom discussions, sit on or near the front row, introduce yourself to your teacher early and dont ask teachers for special favorsunless you absolutely have to. Becoming a top student is simply about setting goals. If you want to be the top student commit to that goal, work as hard as you can, and let the chips fall where they may. His daily mantra is, work first, play after. Although anyone that knows me knows I procrastinate at a world-champion level. With two weeks of school remaining, Frederick said, My goal is to get a job in my field that I am passionate about. I would love to teach or write about people making a difference. I also want to keep improving as a [photography] shooter. One would think with all his prior rafting trips, he would be burned out. Not Frederick, he still wants to raft the Grand Canyon many more times as part of his bucket list. He also wants to travel the world. A passionate, driven individual, Frederick never forgets to thank the people who helped him pursue his dream. Thanks to the awesome, amazing teachers at CEU and the U. Its the teachersnot fancy buildings or the latest technology that makes the most difference in the lives of their students. To all school administratorsfind the best teachers, give them the resources they need and give them raises. Thanks to family, friends and study buddies that cheered me on. A special thanks to my parents, especially my mom who helped financially when I needed it most. And a special thanks to Lynette who knows the challenges of being an A student (valedictorian of our high school class) and has been there for me in every way possible throughout my academic career.

Mining
continued from page 1 we do, we work hard at it, and we take pride in it. Both Evans and Mabbutt have experience working in mines. They know the industry provides jobs to many and builds the economy, it is estimated that for every mining job, 3-5 service jobs are created, and created $5,598 million in revenue in Utah 2011. National Mining Association (2013, August). The Economic Contributions of the Mining Industry in 2011. (Retrieved from www.NMA.org.) Mining is also a fairly lucrative profession. In Utah, the average coal miner earns $73 thousand a year. Many people who would never been able to afford higher education earn the money they need mining and return to USU Eastern to earn a degree. Coal supplies around 55% of all electricity generated by public utilities in America. (Retrieved from www.utahmining.org.) This goes to show that mining is not a dying profession, and modern societys dependence on mined materials is not a thing of the past. Evans pointed out that it takes 49 mined minerals to build a cell phone. Mining supports many aspects of day-to-day life that often go unnoticed. Without the mining industry, communities like Carbon and Emery counties would cease to thrive. Competent and safety conscious workers will always be needed in mines throughout the state. Easterns mining department provides the highest quality training available. Both MSHA and the state of Utah frequently audit training courses to ensure the course material is being taught correctly. Evans and Mabbutt have received nothing but rave reviews from auditors and students alike. The BLM recently expressed appreciation for the mining program for the effective and essential. Both instructors also have the rare credentials necessary to train electricians, specialty services, and even train other trainers. Although the period of time when the mining department was said to be shutting down damaged the public image a bit, everyone is overjoyed that the department is saved and wants to get the word out to anyone who would enroll in a training course. USU Eastern is lucky to have the mining department on its campus. Large amounts of students come to Eastern for the mining courses, giving Eastern exposure to people from California, Washington, and Illinois to name a few. Not only do these visitors learn about what USU Eastern has to offer, they also bring revenue into the city through lodging, eating out and other expenditures. In short, the mining program sheds a positive light on the school and community.

ing accessible by offering an affordable price. The mining program has certified nearly 8,000 students and 500 different companies since 2008. There is a wide array of students in each course. Miners, engineers, truck drivers, geologists, construction workers, contractors and BLM workers frequent the MSHA training courses. Anyone who will be working at a mine site for any reason is required to have this training. Mabbutt explains that in each class there are people from many different walks of life. There may be a young man who didnt graduate high school sitting next to someone with a doctorate in Geology. This makes for an interesting mix, but Mabbutt has enjoyed teaching a diverse group and has learned that no matter what their background everyone is just trying to get their job done well. This year Evans and Mabbutt are running the entire department by themselves. Last year their budget decreased from $172 thousand to $64 thousand. They had to let go several staff members and the two instructors are still managing to teach all the scheduled courses on top of their other office responsibilities. Even though they are understaffed, they both love what they do so much they would never consider leaving. Evans says we are passionate about what

Final performance of the thriller Mousetrap directed by Wade Arave, concludes this weekend April 17-19. Cast pictured (from left to right) Ryan Pettingill, Josh Bone, Libby Petereit, McKylin Rowe, Annie Zelasko, Lesly Gaona-Partida, Julian Barone Fowler and David Zelasko

not only to design a set for Mousetrap but also got to see it come to life as the official set for the final production of the year. It started as an idea. Zelasko would bounce ideas off other theatre majors of what he thought he might want to do. He spent hours reading over the script, finding pieces that would help him build a better idea. He knew what he wanted to do, but the actual finished project seemed so far away. From the drafts came a full and finished sketch. The 2-D sketch began to explore the various options he had envisioned. Did he want to have paint on the walls or a wood grain? How many entrances could
he provide for the director? Would there be multiple levels? After the 2-D draft came the 3-D design. Zelasko got on the computer and made his design a reality. He spent hours drafting the perfect design, and when he thought he got it, he checked with the director, Wade Arave, to make sure it was just right. After the design was perfect, it was time to bring it to life. With the help of theatre majors the set began to be built. After the platforms were up, the walls were next. Then it was time to paint. A base coat was decided and then after it was on the decision was made to repaint to a yellow color. More time was put
in until finally the set was ready to be dressed. Corey Ewan was set dresser, and with the help of Zelasko managed to get the set to its cluttered and claustrophobic feel at the request of the director. The set is spectacular, and very well thought out, said Josh Bone, a fellow member of the cast. Corey Ewan was quoted saying, There is plenty of playing space for the cast as well as some funny gags. Did you know that there is clue pieces hidden all over the set? It was a long two-month process that was both frustrating as well as rewarding. It was a learning experience for Zelasko that he wont forget.
Hailey Evans
tries to remember that when a student comes to them with a problem to make sure to not take it personally, just focus on a solution, because it is all about the students and the quality they are getting. Skydiving is at the top of Callors bucket list. She would also love to become an inspirational speaker, for at least a short while of her lifetime, to remind people that life isnt that hard. She says, There are so many things that you let bring you down, and those things really dont matter. If you look at it from the perspective of where youre at, ask yourself if its really going to matter tomorrow because you are going to be in an entirely different place. Speaking from experience of being bullied in the past, Callor shared that even in relationships with those who bring you down, who bully you, theyre not always going to be there. Callors motto is to Forget about the past learn from it. Live in the now - because thats whats important. Dont worry about the future - because its going to be here tomorrow. What you do right now is what matters. Just love people. Respect them. She says her one last wish would be to go on an investigation with the Ghosthunters. She said she would love to be on the show even if she
was 80 years old. She says even if she died of a heart attack, she wouldnt mind because she would die doing something she loved. For the past 18 years, she has been serving as a volunteer EMT and firefighter for 18 years. She is a mother of six, and a grandmother of eleven, and does spiritual healing and meditation as well. As a very admired staff member at USU Eastern by both students and faculty, Callors personal dedication is something that she will always be known for.

Prison is very unique. In 1876, the first seven inmates entered the Territorial Prison at Yuma and were locked into the new cells they had built themselves. A total of 3,069 prisoners, including 29 women, lived within the walls during the prisons 33 years of operation. Punishments included the dark cell for inmates who broke prison regulations, and the ball and chain for those who tried to escape. By 1907, the prison was severely overcrowded with no room for expansion. The convicts constructed a new facility in Florence, Ariz. The last prisoner left Yuma in September 1909. There is a lot of planning that goes into making the trip happen. In fact, planning starts a year in advance. Henrie said, We are already planning for next years trip. First, you have to decide where you want to go, then you sit down and think if it is feasible or not and figure out the cost factor. Then you have to schedule rooms, which usually means calling months in advance because you have to block out sections of rooms. This trip took a lot of planning because we went to Vegas, so that took a ton of organizing because its such a big place. Next year we are thinking of going to Montana and Wyoming. On top of going to the prison and gaining that experience, much more was gained as well. Henie said, Many of the students had never been outside of Utah and had never really seen the Vegas lifestyle. Not to mention we were right outside the United States-Mexico border. The students definitely got to see many different aspects

of lifestyles and cultures that they may have not seen before. Henrie enjoyed the prison tour the most. He said, I had been looking forward to the tour, knowing some of the history of the prison so I was excited to see it. Everyone that takes my classes knows I love prisons, their culture and everything about them is so fascinating
to me and to see how they began, to what theyve developed into is what I love to read about and see. The students learned a lot by seeing the living circumstances inmates were put in back in the 1800s. Henrie said, In class, we talk about the corporal punishment and about the torture. We talk about the living conditions, but for students to actu-
ally be able to see that and think wow people actually lived in that cell. I think it was a very eye opening experience and one that you cant get from a classroom. In regards to next years trip, Henrie said, We have already looked at the routes to go to both Montana and Wyoming and its very feasible. What well look at is time span and cost so we will keep working on

Nance Van Winckel presides at a reading of her poetry at USU Eastern last week. One of her former students is Jason Olsen, Ph.D. of the English Department. Van Winckel has authored six poetry books and four collections of short fiction.
College of Eastern Utah pennants even hung on the wall, so it was obvious that this place was past due for a 2014 face lift. Several new electrical outlets were installed, walls were sheetrocked and anchored and lots of paint was used. Sutherlands made a generous donation of new indoor/outdoor carpet. Paint was donated by Rowley Pinstriping. Head baseball coach Scott Madsen provided sheetrock and other materials for the project. Coach Madsen has been great to let the ladies take the project and run with it. He was so thrilled with the work that he jumped right in and organized his uniform closet. Out of pocket, Seth and Cirie Noyes and Brett and Erin Rowley donated approximately $225 between them. B. Rowley is a professional painter and he provided the signage and the eagle head inside the concessions stand. Noyes, as well as her husband Seth, donated approximately 40-service hours. Even her two young daughters, Madison and
Jade, helped out with the painting. C. Noyes said she wanted to have something that the baseball team could be proud to have open, and see that there were people on campus who cared what their facilities looked like, along with what they were doing out on the field. E. Rowley hopes by them doing this project, the team knows that they are cared about and their program is supported by the USU Eastern staff and faculty. There is now a variety of products to choose from at the remodeled concession stand, including pulledpork sandwiches, quarter-pound hot dogs, hamburgers, popcorn, nachos, candy, and T-shirts are available for purchase as well. The teams last home games will be April 18-19. A double header, starting at noon, will be played against the Utah All-Stars. The next week the team will travel to Rangely, Colo., to play Colorado Northwestern Community College and then on to the regional playoffs.

a subject you are interested in and learn all you can about it. One has to study, you cannot succeed in college if you cram for all your classes. You have to know the material. Stevensons favorite class was behavioral analysis. Everyone should take this class; you look at different techniques to mold and shape your behavior. This can be used in effective parenting skills that creates positive reinforcement with children. Earl said Stevenson was one of his best students. She is superior to the vast majority of her co-students. In his classroom, she demonstrated professionalism and preparedness as well as natural leadership amongst her peers.
Sheetrock, paint, carpet and lots of hours make baseball USU Easterns baseball concessions stand top notch.

a state championship. After their hard work and dedication, in the spring of 2009, the Spanish Fork Dons became 5A State Champions. Spanish Fork High School is known for a winning tradition. In the last seven years, the Dons have won four state championships in baseball. After playing together in high school, all six had a chance to play side by side once again at USU Eastern. Beck explained, Its every kids dream to play college baseball, and playing with your high school buddies makes it that much better. Beck, Neilson, and C. Money just recently graduated from Spanish Fork. Its been fun, and weve known each other since first grade, Cameron explains, We have been through a lot; its fun to come here and have somebody you already know how to play with. The game of baseball is a simple game when players have friends on the field.
The adjustment from high school to college can be strenuous. The schedule is difficult and the lifestyle is different. Luckily for these six, the adjustment wasnt too complicated. G. Money explains, For me, its different because its full time. We only played three months out of the year in high school, now we play year round. However, he said, Playing in Spanish Fork taught me how important hard work is, and helped me compete at the college level. Nielson added, The work ethic I learned in high school has helped me continue to be successful. The Spanish Fork program nourished these players to become aphenomenal force for the Golden Eagles this season. Spanish Fork is more than a baseball program. The players influence the younger generation, and excites the town with its winning tradition. The support that the baseball team
generates is incomparable to any other sport. People, young and old, come to watch every game. The old-timers sit along the first-base line,and the kids play catch during innings, looking up to these high school players.Its almost like Spanish Fork has its own major league baseball team. Beck remembers growing up watching the older players. We looked up to the older guys growing up. I remember watching those older players (Thorpe, G. Money, and Castleberry) and now we get to play with the older generation. Its great to be playing on the same team. Baseball is more than a game, it brings people together. These six players have been surrounded by the game their entire lives. Theyve learned how to play the game the right way and accomplished things that cannot be taken away from them. As these six continue to play together, they continue their amazing baseball traditions and high expectations.
Chase Castleberry, Greg Money, Hadley Thorpe, Cameron Money, Cortlen Nielsen and Cooper Beck all played baseball for the Spanish Fork Dons years apart and now play baseball together as Golden Eagles.

soccer, golf and softball teams will start competing in the NWAACC. The indoor sports including mens and womens basketball as well as volleyball will remain members of the NJCAA and the SWAC until 2016 where they will join the other teams as members of the NWAACC. USU Eastern Athletic Director Dave Paur said, If it was up to me, I
Williams as a way to help save the Cardinals money in the athletic budget. The nearest member of the SWAC to NIC is CSI, still over 500 miles away and the farthest member of the conference is the College of Southern Nevada, which is 1,124 miles away from Coeur dAlene, Idaho, where NIC is located. The Board of Directors for NIC voted 3-1 for the change in March
2014. NIC expects that the change will save them about $600,000 a year in the athletic budget. These savings will come from cutting travel costs. Travel for NIC will be much easier with the majority of the 34 colleges that are members of the NWAACC being within 450 miles. The only sport that will not make the jump to the NWAACC at NIC will be wrestling and that is because the NWAACC does not currently have a wrestling program. Three other members of the NWAACC have wrestling programs and they participate independently throughout the nation. Paur said, We dont know how this will affect us (USU Eastern). As a member of the NJCAA, you go where they tell you to go and play who they tell you to play. So for now, the SWAC tournament will continue to exist with only five members participating in indoor sports until further notified by the NJCAA.
