AN ORGANIZATION WHERE SUSTAINABILITY COMES FIRST Eco Ambassadors, a new club, creates a network for sustainability efforts across campus
Alyza Lovenguth | News Reporter | news@stumedia.boisestate.edu
I
n past years, sustainability efforts may have only been discovered in a service-learning class, but now, an up-and-coming group, Eco Ambassadors, plans to expand their reach to not only students but faculty, staff and community members. Kat Davis, sustainability coordinator at Boise State, has been the head contributor to this new movement, but Tristan Harris, a junior environmental studies major, has also worked to bring passionate environmentalists together in order to network opportunities for change and education. During the spring 2018 semester, Davis and Harris began discussing their vision for what is now called Eco Ambassadors—an organization where people come together and tackle goals in the name of sustainability. “Eco Ambassadors is a group of passionate volunteers working together to grow and promote sustainable efforts at Boise State,” Harris wrote in the organization’s mission statement. “Eco Ambassadors works to create a network of sustainable efforts through local volunteer events, verbal advocacy and innovation.” Over time, Davis hopes they can give credentials to volunteers—naming students “sustainability experts”—but for now, Eco Ambassadors’ goal is to bring like-minded people together to make a difference through volunteer opportunities. “The Eco Ambassadors is a high-level volunteer opportunity where they get first dibs at volunteer projects coming up,” Davis said. “They’ll also get new updates about sustainability happenings at Boise State and in the community. This doesn’t just include students; the people who have been involved in volunteering with me have been students, staff and community members, too.” With staff and community members being involved, Davis said Eco Ambassadors creates a unique opportunity where leaders of non-profit organizations and other en-

vironmental efforts can come together and build a fun community of people working towards the same goal. “I’m looking forward to people passionate about the environment coming together,” Harris told The Arbiter. “It’s a network of like minds connecting and participating in direct sustainability—reshaping campus.” According to Davis and Harris, the

knowledge volunteers gain from being in Eco Ambassadors will be communicated beyond individuals inside of the group by asking members to spread recycling efforts and other sustainability efforts through word of mouth. While Davis mentioned the importance of sustainable efforts in water, energy and transportation, the efforts of Eco Ambassadors will focus more on waste management this year due to the importance of reducing, reusing and recycling methods from individuals and the community. “Waste management is where we’re heading right now,” Davis said. “This topic touches a lot of people who do not know these things, and it’s not preaching to the choir. (Waste management) is an empowering thing where people can learn and interact with others by starting the conversation of sustainability where people can act.” While Eco Ambassadors may be representing Boise State, the organization will
also participate in sustainable efforts off Boise State’s campus. “Taco Bell Arena’s custodial staff works with the Idaho Botanical Garden to assist with their waste management,” Davis said. “They reached out to us, so my team has been going to the Outlaw Field Summer Concert Series and managing the recycling there. It may not be on campus, but we’re still representing Boise State.” Davis explained the volunteer opportunities may be fun, but they are also very significant to Boise State and the community at large by participating in and communicating about waste management. “It’s a way to kill two birds with one stone. These events have a lot of value by having recycling volunteers making sure the events’ waste is clean,” Davis said. “It’s giving people the opportunity to go to a free concert but also give back to the community and events.”

SCOTT WILLISON MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS ANNOUNCED Both recipients overcame obstacles throughout their college education

S
cott Willison, former Boise State professor of education and director of the Center for Multicultural and Educational Opportunities, passed away in 2016 from a heart attack. Prior to his death, he raised more than $40 million in grant funding for 30,000 students over the course of two decades at Boise State, leaving a legacy for under-served students. Willison’s legacy of aiding under-served students has continued through the Scott Willison Memorial Scholarship. The scholarship—which was created in 2017—is composed of staff and faculty donations and is aimed towards students who have overcome personal and financial obstacles in order to attend Boise State. “He just had a soft spot in his heart for those with challenges from first generation college students and students with difficult backgrounds,” said Richard Osguthorpe, dean of the College of Education. “He recognized an obligation to help.” Lizette Mendoza, a junior biology major,
and Sarah Tanton, a senior elementary education major, were both awarded the scholarship based on challenges they faced during their college education. For Mendoza, balancing school, work and her life at home was difficult. “I am the parental guardian to my two younger sisters due to unfortunate circumstances,” Mendoza wrote in an email. “Aside from working full time and being a student full time, I now care for my girls, and it can be a hard thing to balance.” Tanton, however, faced financial struggles due to her health, which lead to taking a year-long break from college. Before Tanton’s break, she spent two years being tested and receiving a few diagnoses and misdiagnoses. While the break did not aid in her schooling, it allowed her to find proper health care. “After two years of copious testing, without any hope of getting healthier, I made the difficult decision to take a year off of school to focus on my health,” Tanton wrote in an email. “This year made

a big difference as I found new doctors and new specialists to help me. This obstacle, though challenging and frustrating, allowed me to learn that when hardships come my way, I don’t need to back down and give up.” According to Mendoza, the scholarship is continuous and will be received each year with a fluctuating payment depending on the funds acquired. While the scholarship can be used toward different parts of the students’ education, sponsors prefer the money go towards tuition to ensure it will be used to fund school, according to Tanton. “Boise State has said they will use that money first when determining how my tuition is paid for,” Tanton wrote. “If there is any money left over after my tuition is paid in full, then I will be given the money to pay for my books.” Tanton and Mendoza gave advice to students dealing with struggles, and both provided one overall premise: don’t give up due to fear, but continue to overcome
those obstacles. “My advice to other students is that no matter what is thrown your way, don’t give up on your dreams,” Mendoza wrote. “Try your hardest, because good things happen to good people. And always appreciate the fact that other people believe in your dreams too.” With fall semester courses starting, Tanton and Mendoza look forward to their classes and involvement in the community. While Mendoza looks forward to her biology courses and getting involved in the Boise State community, Tanton begins the elementary education department’s professional year where students learn and begin to teach. While she doesn’t begin teaching until spring 2019, Tanton will begin to have observation and volunteer hours in an elementary school. “I am excited to see how my academic learning applies to real, every day elementary classrooms,” Tanton wrote.

NEW CENTER FOR FINE ARTS STRIVES TO FOSTER COLLABORATION
Construction is on schedule for new building, which came together with help from Art Department and President Kustra MaryAnn Fernandez | News Editor | news@stumedia.boisestate.edu
I
n May of last year, a ceremony was held as the university officially broke ground at the Center for Fine Arts building. The design of the Center for Fine Arts is intended to capture all of the Boise State art programs together in one building. More than a year later, construction is currently set to finish on time. The building is expected to open up for classes starting in fall of 2019. Richard Young, who served as chair of the Art Department from 2003 through 2013, played an essential role in developing the Center for Fine Arts. According to Young, he was interested in establishing improvements to the facilities within the Art Department. “Some of the buildings didn’t have air conditioning or the correct ventilation,” Young said. “Many of those studios were

never meant to be studios, they were more meant to be elementary school classes. I became heavily involved in ventilation projects and safety-related projects.” Young explained that as chair of the department, he began to advocate for a new building. “I began to pitch for a new building continually. I think that President Kustra, among other people in the upper administration, had seen a lot of my proposals and ideas,” Young said. “From there, I met with one of the vice presidents of facilities and gave him a proposal that outlined the history of the department.” Young also handed James Maguire, vice president of facilities, a detailed analysis of the square footage and what was needed for the department to grow. Not only did Young advocate the need for a new build-

ing, but he also pressed the necessity to create a safe environment for the students and faculty. “In many ways art is like a science, in terms of the facility needs. We use certain types of studio materials that can be somewhat dangerous. With toxic fumes, we need the correct ventilation,” Young said. Young added that he believes the continuous advocacy he was implementing for the department allowed President Kustra to recognize the need for the new building. “Eventually, one day President Kustra called me up and said, ‘Hey, let’s do this building.’ It was unexpected and happened randomly on a Sunday,” Young said. President Kustra has notably expressed
his satisfaction and pride in the new building. “When I look at all these buildings–and they’re all important to me–the Center for Fine Arts is the one that means the most to me, personally,” Kustra said in an interview with The Arbiter last year. “And the reason for that is simple. In higher education today, it’s more and more difficult for universities to find the funding either from the public sector or from donors to build out the arts and the humanities. I think we were able to do that here because of the incredible support we received from the state, but especially from the community.” According to Young, the only concern with the new building is the department didn’t get as much space they wanted in order to grow and expand.

“We won’t be able to accommodate for more students, but some areas expanded their studio space but some others stayed the same,” Young said. “It’s a safer facility, but it’s not necessarily designed for the department to grow.” However, while the department won’t necessarily increase in the amount students, the curriculum has more room to expand. Furthermore, the space issue within the building all boils down to the financial details. “The new Fine Arts Building will be in a culture district in Boise. Undoubtedly, it will be a destination to attract more students and faculty to the department,” Young said. “Also, it will increase the visibility of Boise for those who want to pursue an art degree.” According to Young, the Center for
Fine Arts will create a culturally rich environment for Boise, thanks to its proximity to buildings such as the Boise Art Museum, Jack’s Urban Meeting Place (JUMP) and the future Boise Library. Laura Simic, vice president of university advancement, has been heavily involved in the fundraising and planning of the new building. According to Simic, their department had to raise a minimum of $5 million in private donations. Currently, they have an estimated $5.1 million in donations. The largest gift was $1 million from an anonymous donor, which inspired others to donate, according to Simic. “We proposed to the State Board of Education to name the building after Bob and Kathy Kustra, to recognize their huge contributions to the community and the university,” Simic said. “The fact that we
“It symbolically represents the importance and elevation of the arts. Boise State has invested a lot into the STEM education. Laura Simic, vice president of university advancement planned to do that inspired more funding from donors. These donors wanted to participate in honoring Bob and Kathy Kustra in a really big way.”
Simic added that due to the mild winter Boise experienced, construction is slightly ahead of schedule. “It symbolically represents the importance and elevation of the arts. Boise State has invested a lot into the STEM education,” Simic said. “We are known as a well-rounded, comprehensive research university, but this really represents that we need to invest in the arts.” Jim Ogle, the director of development for the College of Arts and Sciences, expects that when the building is completed it will garnish national attention. Additionally, a ribbon cutting ceremony is in the works to celebrate the future opening of the Center for Fine Arts.

UPCOMING MIDTERMS WON’T MEND THE TEAR IN AMERICAN POLITICS
Voters are hopeful that the election will swing political momentum, but it may not be what America needs Chase Marsh | Opinion Editor | opinion@stumedia.boisestate.edu
O
ur nation’s political divide is near irreparability. The left and right are at war with each other. Not a literal civil war, but a perpetual argument of morals and policies. Diplomacy has taken a backseat to chaos, and with mid-term elections around the corner, both sides are biting their nails. One party is hoping for a definitive pivot in the trajectory of legislation and the manner in which politics are currently being handled; the other is determined to keep that from happening. The importance of the midterms is dreadfully evident. The question is: will the results — no matter what they are — help mend the wound? Does it get better from here? America’s separation has resulted in more protests, riots, and petty internet squabbles (see the president’s Twitter page) than we’ve seen in recent years, such as NFL players kneeling, gun rights supporters and critics rallying, Charleston’s tiki torch incident. As reported by Vox, an April poll conducted by The Washington Post revealed that one in five Americans have taken part in a political rally or protest since the start of 2016. The discontent has no end in sight, and it is becoming more and more discouraging to those attempting to create any sort of unity amongst the opponents. Change is needed on countless policies, new policies need to be set in place and some old ones need to be tossed. Whether the policies are seen as too progressive or too regressive is a non-issue compared to the divisiveness that the current stagnation is causing. Compromises must be met to stop the bleeding. Across the nation, many candidates for the upcoming elections are promising to be the catalyst for these modifications by tackling bipartisan issues that all voters can support, and they are making strong cases on how they will benefit Americans.

Trump stepped foot in the oval office--- a political system that works together. Come Nov. 6, there will be raised animosity, raised stakes and raised apprehension from both corners. Neither side wants to lose, and each fears what the future holds should that be the case. Much of the population, sitting on the edge of their seats, will watch as the results roll in, discovering if assimilating into their respective, divided factions was for the betterment of the nation. Not many are searching for common ground, and it seems as though neither side particularly wants it. So as the tallies are ticked, acceptance will likely be a long-lost myth, and in its place will be more protests, riots and petty internet squabbles. No candidate can take bipartisan stances on every issue. So, because both parties want to push for their agenda and their issues, our nation will remain divided — even after the upcoming election.

LETTER FROM THE EDITORS
Journalists are not the enemy, despite what the president would like you to believe Jordan Erb, Editor-in-Chief and Ximena Bustillo, Online Editor | editor@stumedia.boisestate.edu

ight months into 2018, the United States is the third deadliest country in the world for journalists. This is behind only Afghanistan and Syria, which saw 10 and six journalists killed in the line of duty so far this year. The United States has had four line-of-duty journalist deaths. This case is certainly not helped by the rhetoric put forth by President Donald Trump, who since his inauguration has ceaselessly berated the press. Dubbed the “enemy of the people,” “fake news” and “the opposition party,” journalists and the press freedoms that they represent are under attack. The time is now to make
one thing abundantly clear: we are not the enemy. Last week, hundreds of news outlets across the nation have stood up in defense of themselves and the American values they embody. On behalf of Boise State’s student news organization, we would like to do the same. As journalists, we are here to do a job. We are here to support the American people, and to serve as the foundation for First Amendment rights and our democracy. We are here to check state officials and the overreach of power, and of course, to tell the stories that matter to you. There’s a reason that we do this work, and we promise
that it isn’t the pay. But we can’t do it without your help. We implore you: do not subscribe to the idea of “fake news,” or the senseless and egregious idea that journalists are the enemy of the state. Be wary of an administration that threatens your First Amendment rights. The first step towards autocracy, towards oppression, is censorship. Here on campus, students ought to be the priority. There are very few spaces where we, the students, are allowed to share our experiences. At The Arbiter, we strive to be one of those few spaces where the Boise State community can express concerns, further initiatives and spotlight
issues you may not otherwise know. We look forward to continued collaboration with student and faculty and as always, we will strive to produce professional and relevant journalism with your continued support.

n March 2013, former Boise State student Lucas Donaldson was released from incarceration, where he was serving a five-year sentence for a charge of drug trafficking and manufacturing. When Donaldson returned to Boise State, he saw the need for a student organization dedicated to encouraging sobriety, which he then started. The organization, Students and Other Broncos Enjoying Recovery (SOBER), is a resource

for those struggling with addiction. While the conversation surrounding addiction and recovery has always been important to Donaldson, local community leaders have recently joined the conversation as well. The opioid crisis has affected Americans for years now and has recently become a serious problem in Boise. In 2013 there was only one reported opioid-related death in Boise, but in 2017 there were 96 deaths.
ARBITERONLINE.COM
The opioid crisis Opioids are substances that bind to the opioid receptors in the brain. Opioids include commonly prescribed painkiller prescriptions such as hydrocodone and oxycodone. Heroin is a highly addictive opioid produced and sold illicitly. According to the Boise Police Department (BPD), nationally, drug overdoses surpassed auto accident fatalities for the first time in U.S. history this year. Of the drug overdose deaths, 33,000 were from opiates. Opiate drug overdose deaths also surpassed firearms-related deaths in the United States for the first time ever. SOBER was created to help combat the stigma and misconceptions that are attached with individuals that are struggling with addictions, and to advocate for a place of community and to encourage a life of recovery and sobriety. “If we don’t start the conversation and ask questions about addictions and recovery, we won’t get anywhere,” said Shawna Forsmann, a business, nonprofit and addiction studies major, and the current president of SOBER. Thomas Hamman, a program director at
Northpoint Recovery, an addiction treatment center in Boise, said that his time as a clinical supervisor within an opioid-use clinic specifically focused on treatment. The majority of those individuals were using prescription medications, and a prescription monitoring system came online which cut off the access to those medications. Those individuals began to search for a harder drug because they didn’t have the access to opioids. According to BPD, nationally, 80 percent of heroin users started by misusing prescription painkillers. Also, 94 percent of individuals in treatment reported using heroin because prescription pain pills were too hard or expensive to obtain. “These individuals were going out to find heroin and found that that drug was less expensive, more effective and lasts longer. Essentially, it drove up the black market for heroin,” Hamman said. According to Hamman, his outlook on treatment includes focusing on the big picture and impact of these individuals struggling with their addictions. “Overall, I try to look at the real big picture–not just law enforcement or medical–
F E AT U R E but the real impact of it, including black market business,” Hamman said. “Society focuses more on the medical aspects of it rather than the quality of life and bettering these people’s lives, so that they can move away from that addiction rather than perpetuate it.” Hamman said the opioid epidemic continues to grow despite everything that is thrown at it to try to reverse it. “There is an idea or stereotype of what an alcoholic or addict looks like, and it’s a skewed model,” Hamman said. “Unfortunately, it really objectifies that population that struggles with these addictions. They don’t live under a bridge; they can be your neighbor, students, doctors, lawyers or school teachers.” According to Hamman, education is one of the most fundamental components that would alleviate the opioid crisis.
“There is an idea or stereotype of what an alcoholic or addict looks like, and it’s a skewed model.” Thomas Hamman, program director at Northpoint Recovery
SOBER at Boise State When Donaldson was released from prison, he attended a 12-step meeting where he met Brian Portugais, a graduate student at Boise State. Portugais explained to Donaldson that he was under supervision with Boise State because of his criminal convictions and had to check in with the dean of students regularly. Portugais had spoken to the dean of students who
asked Portugais and Donaldson to create SOBER. “We wanted the student organization to be about fun and recovery. We didn’t want SOBER to be a 12-step program, but we certainly wanted that to be a part of it,” Donaldson said. One of the sole purposes of SOBER is to establish a peer support group for students affected by alcohol or other drugs by reaching them in an encouraging environment that supports recovery and promotes awareness of the possibilities available to those in recovery, according to their Orgsync page. Donaldson added that the recovery process is difficult, but possible. “Individuals struggling with addictions have to come to a point of surrender. They have to drop their ego and be willing to take suggestions from people that have been through it and are now living sober and productive lives,” Donaldson said. “I struggled and suffered with it for a long time. Now I’m not the same person that I used to be.” SOBER five years later Nearly five years later, SOBER is still thriving at Boise State. However, Donaldson has graduated and is now a registered nurse and runs a sober living house, Shawna Forsmann is the current president. Forsmann explained that SOBER is intended for students at Boise State to gather in a safe place and community to discuss issues surrounding recovery. Forsmann said it’s challenging for SOBER to gain new members because of the stigma and shame that surround recovery with students in college. “My ultimate goal with SOBER is to make sober housing available on campus. I get emails and phone calls about it constantly,” Forsmann said. “I have parents contacting me that they are worried about their student coming to Boise State and the student’s sobriety.”
Students who are struggling with opioid addictions can contact these resources for assistance:

According to Forsmann, one of the most destructive aspects of opioid addiction and use is that even if an individual quits using the drug and then relapses, they will use the same dosage that they did before, and it can potentially be lethal.
Forsmann and Donaldson both agreed that while the recovery process is challenging, the path to sobriety is worth it.

IDAHO STATE MUSEUM TO OPEN OCT. 12 AFTER FOUR YEARS OF RENOVATION
The newly renovated museum aims to tell Idaho’s stories in a new way David Collie | Culture Reporter | culture@stumedia.boisestate.edu
I
n a time of ever-increasing political divisiveness, unification can be difficult to achieve. But no matter how different Idaho residents can be from one another, they still inhabit the same land. In recent years, there have been limited opportunities to learn about the history of that land due to the ongoing renovation of the Idaho State Museum. That will no longer be the case, however, as the museum is scheduled to reopen Oct. 12. Renovation and expansion of the building began in August 2014 and is the first major renovation since the building was completed in 1950—nine years after construction began and was subsequently delayed due to the war—according to Mark Breske, the marketing and communications officer for the Idaho State Historical Society (ISHS). Because of this, the goal of the renovation is not only to update the building, but to change the way Idaho and its history are presented. “An important distinction between the previous museum experience and this one is that it’s bringing everything to present day, and offering visitors a chance to reflect on how history is still relevant to their lives,” Breske said. “The theme within the new museum is the story of the land and the people shaping each other over time.” The new museum not only aims to be more relevant in the modern day, but relevant to more of Idaho, according to Ryan Gerulf, development director for ISHS. Gerulf explains that the museum will focus on the unique geographic locations and histories of Idaho. “Idahoans will get the sense that their history isn’t lost or just a part of Boise history,” Gerulf said. One important history, which was highly requested throughout the state, is that of Idaho’s five federally recognized Native American tribes, which the ISHS partnered with in order to accurately and

“The theme within the new museum is the story of the land and the people shaping each other over time.” Mark Breske, marketing and communications officer for the Idaho State Historical Society respectfully tell their stories. One multimedia exhibit will contain both animated video and spoken narration of the tribes’ creations stories. Other exhibits include the “Boomtown Exhibit,” which aims to give an interactive experience to younger visitors, a multimedia exhibit about the Big Burn—one
ARBITERONLINE.COM
of the largest fires in U.S. history—and a virtual bike ride through historic Pocatello and Boise. According to Gerulf, there will be a number of permanent exhibits on display, as well as a rotation of artifacts. Gerulf says the museum has around 50,000 artifacts— about 1 percent of which can be displayed at one time. And while the museum is not yet open, it has already made quite the economic impact on the state. The project has cost more than $17 million—$12.9 million in state funding and $4.2 million in private donations. “The thing that allowed us to accomplish this was the generosity of Idahoans across the state,” Gerulf said. Additionally, much of the labor and resources were drawn from Idaho, including more than 30 Idaho businesses and suppliers and approximately 7,000 square feet of sandstone from Table Rock.
Just like the land and people of Idaho have shaped each other, the people and the museum have a similar relationship. Although most of the influence during the four-year closure has come from the people, the reopening should give the museum the chance to reciprocate.

casting and portrayal of Asian-Americans. For example, Wu’s character, Rachel, is told blankly by Golding’s mother, played by Michelle Yeoh, that she will never be good enough for her son. Not only is that brutal, but it’s also realistic when considering our societal expectations for dating lives. The film is real, but almost in a dramatic presentation rather than a comedic perspective.
“It’s an edge-of-your-seat film, not in the sense of anything thrilling, but in a nail-biting, ‘what will she do next?’ sort of way.” Logan Potter, culture editor

on M. Chu’s biggest blockbuster, until roughly a week ago, was Justin Bieber’s documentary, “Never Say Never.” Luckily for him–and the rest of the universe–”Crazy Rich Asians” made a graceful yet hilarious entrance into moviegoers’ hearts this weekend and left an impression that is poised to impact the movie industry for years to come. While Black Lives Matter and the women’s rights movement have remained the talking points surrounding the definition of equality, the conversation has shifted in the last several weeks. The definition ought to include these discussions of Asian-Americans who have remained
on Hollywood’s back burner after police brutality and the revocation of abortion rights became national epidemics of sorts. No Asian-American has dominated a wide release film since “The Joy Luck Club” in 1993, and the only show on television with an Asian-American plotline is “Fresh Off the Boat,” a comedic sitcom. These attempts should not be devalued, but it is refreshing nonetheless to see talents like Awkwafina and Constance Wu taking over the big screen with impeccable talent, emerging triumphant for women and Asian-Americans across the nation. The performances of the central cast, most notably Wu and Henry Golding, are something to be cherished. In a film about
acceptance and wealth, it’s almost impossible to come across as anything but selfish. Fortunately, the acting style of these two actors brings together something more real than imaginable on a screen—so much so, in fact, that I felt as though I was trying to impress Golding’s movie mother while sitting in my seat. It’s an edge-of-your-seat film not in the sense of anything thrilling, but in a nail-biting, “what will she do next?” sort of way. Performances aside, however, I didn’t feel as though “Crazy Rich Asians” was a romantic comedy; it was more romance and less comedy. That said, the tone fit well, especially for a film that may become so crucial to the future of Hollywood’s
All things considered, “Crazy Rich Asians” brings home more than just a film fiancé—it reminds viewers that Hollywood can and does have more to offer behind the screens. While this is just one brick in a much larger, more refined wall, it’s a beautiful start to talks of equality, casting and romantic comedies in general.

BOISE CORGI FEST BRINGS HUNDREDS TO ANN MORRISON PARK
The first annual festival raised money for Fuzzy Pawz Rescue and the Idaho Humane Society Logan Potter | Culture Editor | culture@stumedia.boisestate.edu
O
n Saturday, the Fuzzy Pawz Rescue and Idaho Humane Society benefited from a citywide event that brought pet owners and lovers together—Boise Corgi Fest. Don’t let the name fool you, for the park was home to more than just corgis; other dog breeds, pet suppliers, designers and non-pet owners were all in attendance. Owners of corgis came from everywhere imaginable, and some were new to the Boise area entirely. One couple, Ellie and Tim Wallis, who moved to Boise from Chattanooga, Tennessee were surprised to find that the city had no events like the corgi parade that occurs annually in their hometown. Once they stumbled upon the event page on Facebook, however, they had to attend.
“I always say I love corgis because they’re sturdy enough to take on a hike, but they’re small enough to pick ‘em up and take them where you want to go.” Ellie Wallis, corgi owner and Boise local “I always say I love corgis because they’re sturdy enough to take on a hike, but they’re small enough to pick ‘em up and take them where you need to go,” Ellie Wallis said. “We have Olive and Blue, and seeing all the different colors, face shapes and sizes has been our favorite part of the festival so far.” While out-of-town individuals were common, Boise State students also made their way out to the event.

majors Kathryn Waller and Alex Jahns have lived with their corgi, Teddy, for over three years. Waller and Jahns are roommates and they admit that the first years during college with Teddy weren’t always the easiest. “I’ve been obsessed with corgis probably since I’ve been in kindergarten when my friend had one, and I decided when I finally moved out of my parents’ house that I needed to get one of my own,” Jahns said. “The first year was especially hard to balance, but since then, I trust him completely and he’s much better behaved than plenty of other dog breeds.” Although times can get tough when juggling school and pet ownership, the two still believe that having a corgi is one of the best decisions they’ve made as roommates. “We love everything about him; he’s the cutest. We’re so lucky to have him,” Waller said. The event went beyond owners, to vendor tents set up around the entire perimeter of the festival, each with some relevance to dogs or their owners. One such business is Emerald Street Kennels, the only boarding facility with a tent at the event and one that remained very enthusiastic about Corgi Fest all throughout. Manager Chase Fuller and owner Vince Eufemia worked the booth and conversed with potential clients, and both remain optimistic about the future of dog boarding and the reputation of kennels, especially for expensive breeds like corgis. “For the first year of an event like this, the outcome is phenomenal,” Fuller said. “We usually get about two corgis in a day, so it’s great to see so many owners getting their dogs out.” The festival is meant to be enjoyable for those attending, but the meaning of so many dogs in one park means more than simple fun to Eufemia. Eufemia believes that the nature of events like this should be part of every household, every day. “In our seven years of business, we pride

ourselves on working with just about every rescue group in Boise, so we’ve saved a lot of dogs,” Eufemia said. “With the trajectory of the business pointing the way it is, we hope to one day make the idea of leaving your dog in the backyard alone frowned upon, and the idea of boarding and daycare much more mainstream.” Between vendors, costume contest entries and donations, all the proceeds for an event this large and successful inevitably have a beneficiary. In the case of Boise Corgi Fest, a volunteer from the Fuzzy Pawz Rescue put together the event, and the rescue benefitted from the outcome. Founder and director, Amy Mitchell, explained her gratitude for community support and understanding for rescues. She hopes to save even more homeless animals in the near future. “There was a large gap in the number of rescues willing to take in any and all breeds, so there was a big need and we found our niche in turning away little to
no cats and dogs in our rescue,” Mitchell said. “The number of people that came out is phenomenal; the event is going to grow and continue to get bigger and better.” Mitchell believes that the rescue will have a more active role in the festival in the future rather than a supporting stance. For those who didn’t make it out to Boise Corgi Fest this year, there seems to be hope for the future. Regardless of whether or not there’s a dog at home, the sense of community will remain in the park with or without a pet.

BOISE COMIC ARTS FESTIVAL ALLOWS ARTISTS TO CONNECT WITH COMMUNITY

urrent and prospective enthusiasts of the comic and visual arts in Boise won’t want to miss out on the Boise Comic Arts Festival on Aug. 25 and 26 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The festival will take place at the JUMP Center downtown, offering free admission and featuring dozens of artists from Boise and beyond. Formerly named Library Comic-Con, The Boise Comic Arts Festival will be an opportunity for artists and the community to connect. “We have a lot of great comic creators from Boise and the Treasure Valley, and I think a lot of people don’t realize that,” said Joshua Shapel, Boise Public Library events coordinator. “This is a great opportunity for them to get some exposure to the public.” According to Shapel, there will be 27 guest creators from out of town—including places such as Oregon, Canada and Venezuela—and about 80 local artists and vendors at the festival. Panels and workshops will give people the opportunity to
learn more about the craft. There will also be a number of things to entertain those uninterested in comics, such as two cosplay events—one event marketed towards adults, and one geared towards children—food trucks and even wrestling. These events, however, are not the primary focus of the arts festival: the primary focus is the artists and their work. One such artist is Boise local Adam Rosenlund. Rosenlund is a comic artist and illustrator whose work with comics is primarily science fiction. He describes the style of his comics as “American with a European twist and containing influences from all over the map.” He was drawn to the comic arts as a child, because he could tell stories without a budget. “All I needed was a pen and paper to create the most fantastical story I could think of, “Rosenlund said. “If you have a pen and paper, you can do it.” Rosenlund is most excited about getting to meet with people who share a passion
for the comic arts. “It is a fairly lonely medium when it comes to creation. When you get a chance to celebrate it with others, it reinforces how awesome it is,” Rosenlund said. Rosenlund and many other local artists will get that chance to connect come festival time. But they, along with the rest of the Boise community, will also get the opportunity to connect with artists from outside of the state as well. One such guest creator is Lucy Knisley, a comic artist from Chicago, Illinois. Knisley was surrounded by art from a young age, as her mother was an artist and chef, while her father was an English teacher. “Comics were a way to marry the two passions instilled in me,”Knisley said. However, this marriage of art forms was mostly a hobby until Knisley was attending The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. “I went to be a painter originally, but I quickly found out that I wanted to tell stories,” Knisley said. “I made comics before, but I never thought it could be a profession.” Knisley has since made it a profession and is the creator of six graphic novels which will be available at the festival. In addition to her existing work, Knisley will be offering on-the-spot commission drawings of people in attendance. “I rely heavily on people and color in my work,” Knisley said, describing her art. “It is very honest and true to life.” Between these two artists and the dozens of others, festivalgoers should have no trouble finding new and diverse styles of work to be exposed to. For experienced comic lovers, aspiring artists, or those simply interested in the visual arts in general, the Boise Comic Arts Festival is sure to offer an abundance of interesting viewing opportunities.

he’s so light on his feet,” said Boise State defensive line coach Chad Kauha’aha’a in a press conference. Nawahine had an impressive sophomore season. He had the second most tackles on the team (108) just behind Leighton Vander Esch, who now plays professionally for the Dallas Cowboys. He finished the season with three interceptions, matching cornerback Tyler Horton for most on the team. Nawahine was also named to the 2017 All-Mountain West Second Team and received multiple academic awards, including 2017 Mountain West Scholar Athlete. Maeva ended his 2017 with 84 total tackles, the third most on the team. He racked in 2.5 tackles for a loss and a single sack. This led Maeva to be named a 2017 All-Mountain West Honorable Mention.
Moa recorded 21 total tackles and two sacks his red shirt junior season. He was recognized as All-Mountain West Second Team.

BOISE STATE ESPORTS IS EXPANDING AND EXCELLING

resh off of their appearance at the first-ever Mountain West eSports Showdown in March, the Boise State eSports team is back and ready to take on their second season. As the first varsity competitive gaming team to be sponsored by a Mountain West institution, the team is excited to continue expanding and achieving their goals. Thanks to the vision of directors Chris Haskell, an education technology professor, and Brett Shelton, education technology department head, the eSports team hit the ground running in their debut season last fall. Without funding, facilities or players, Shelton and Haskell decided to follow their ambitions and start the varsity activity. “Our team dynamic is really different. We have men and women, freshman and master students, and we range in age from 17 to 35,” Haskell said. “Its unique.”
The games selected for competition are League of Legends, Hearthstone, Heroes of the Storm, Overwatch and Rocket League. The team traveled to multiple tournaments, claimed the Mountain West conference championship title in Rocket League, received recognition from ESPN and other news outlets, and more. “It doesn’t even feel like we’ve stopped,” Haskell said. “We’ve been going 100 miles an hour for the past year.” Boise State’s eSports team is considered to be one of the top three programs in the country, along with Utah State and University of California, Irvine (UCI). In May, the program sent their Hearthstone team to the National Championship live matches in Burbank, California which, according to Haskell, is the equivalent of an Elite Eight appearance in NCAA basketball. The program hosts two 10-12 week competitive seasons per year, during the
fall and spring. This upcoming season aligns with the football schedule, opening with a Rocket League match against Troy on Aug. 30. Their schedule will also incorporate several specific game-driven tournaments. Within the whole group, there are a total of five different teams that specialize in certain games. A total of 60 students have joined the program, making it the largest eSports program in the nation, according to Haskell. “It’s very lighthearted here,” said Isiaac Torrero, a junior gaming, interactive media and mobile technology major and Rocket League team captain. “We are always laughing and joking around. It gets a little more serious when we are competing, but for the most part we try to joke around. That’s the easiest way to play–to have fun with it since it can get frustrating sometimes.” The program broadcasts all of their matches on Twitch, a free online video game streaming service, totaling about 200-300 hours a semester. The 2018 Mountain West eSports Showdown was also streamed, which was the first time Twitch has ever live-streamed a conference tournament. “We’re trying to get the community involved and show that Boise State eSports is here and is going to make a big impact on the community,” said Daniel Wu, a sophomore biochemistry major and the vice president of Boise State eSports, after the team’s launch party last October. Throughout the season, teams will have several live matches where they play the remote visiting team, either in the Interactive Learning Center, in larger dorm meeting areas or in the Student Union Building. In mid-September or early October, the eSports team will have a space of their own on the second floor of the library as part of the College of Innovation and Design. The program’s new facility is a 6,400
square foot battleground and arena with 100 gaming stations, instead of the 24 stations currently in their center in the Education Building. The site will include a movable stage to display live home matches. “It’s going to be crazy; we have an actual stage to play our important games on. It’s going to be super cool,” Torrero said. “The whole environment will be really awesome.” Utah State is Boise State’s main rival due to their regional status and program size. Utah and UCI also present programming and broadcasting competition to the Broncos. As the year rolls on, the squad hopes to put more teams in large national finals, perfect their broadcasting techniques and have more live events. “Traveling would be really cool to do again. It’s a whole new environment. It’s definitely different to play with actual people watching you,” Torrero said. “Going to Vegas was the most memorable part of the whole thing. We got to play on stage in front of a bunch of people. That was something I’ve never done before.” There will be a walk-on tryout this Friday, Aug. 24 and Saturday, Aug. 25 for students who are just getting to campus and are interested in checking out the team. “If there is anybody with talent in these games on campus who just may have not been aware, they shouldn’t wait. Come find us and see if there’s a spot. We will try anyone out at any time during the year,” Haskell said. “That’s really the message. If you love these games and have some talent, and you think you would like to play on a team like this, you should come try out immediately.”

BRONCOS IN THE NFL: A PRESEASON UPDATE
Vander Esch’s first NFL play looks promising
Autum Robertson | Sports Reporter | sports@stumedia.boisestate.edu
T
he Boise State Broncos had two athletes commit to the 2018 NFL draft: linebacker Leighton Vander Esch and wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. were both selected by the Dallas Cowboys. Vander Esch was the 19th overall pick and Wilson was 208th overall pick. Much has happened since the draft–there were rookie mini camps, training camps and the start of preseason. On Aug. 8, 2018, Vander Esch played in his first NFL game. The Cowboys traveled to San Francisco to play the 49ers where they lost 24-21. The loss should not take away from what Vander Esch was able to accomplish in just 31 snaps. The 255-pound linebacker was able to move quickly and impressively, defending both the run and pass. He finished with a run-stop percentage of 18.2%. This is the sixth-best percentage when it’s compared to the other rookie linebackers that played the first week of the preseason. Vander Esch ended the game with four tackles, tying for second-most on the team. “(Vander Esch is) athletic.. very smart patient instinctive player..The Cowboys defense looks strong,” said free agent wide receiver Dez Bryant in a tweet. Unfortunately, former Bronco Wilson has not seen as much early success as Vander Esch. During a full-pad practice on July 28, Wilson left with a shoulder injury. On July 31, Wilson landed himself on the Injured/Reserve (IR) list. When a player is on the IR, they are temporarily unable to play, leaving a spot open for their position. The Cowboys used this spot to sign wide receiver Ricky Jeune. Wilson will not get a chance to play during the 2018 season. 49ers running back Jeremy McNichols had a lackluster rookie season. He had trouble finding his spot on the 49ers offense. Things are already starting to play out differently for McNichols’ second year. He had three carries for 15 yards and one touchdown when they played the Cowboys on Aug. 8. McNichols has begun seeing

snaps with the starters. “We liked Jeremy coming out of college and were fortunate enough to steal him off Tampa’s practice squad and put him on ours last year,” said Kyle Shanahan, head coach of the 49ers, in an interview with 247sports. “He got some learning experience being on our practice squad all year. He’s similar to other guys. He can press it; he can hit it. He’s got some speed.” The Philadelphia Eagles running back Jay Ajayi played well with limited snaps in their 31-14 loss against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Ajayi finished the game with four carries for 30 yards. The Eagles lost their following preseason game to the New England Patriots 20-37. Ajayi had six carries for 23 yards, proving in his first two preseason games why he’s a starter. “(Ajayi’s) really comfortable with what we’re doing. He’s such a tough, downhill, hard runner. I’m excited for him and how he can really help us in the run game. We just continue to work in the run game. There is a lot of timing and execution that happens with the guys up front and blocking,” said Eagles head coach Doug Pederson in an interview with 247sports. The 2018 NFL season is set to kick off Sept. 6, when the Atlanta Falcons travel to Philadelphia to play Ajayi and the Eagles.
