THE FLAMING LIPS

ROCK OGDEN TWILIGHT

By WESTON LEE Reporter

The Flaming Lips, an Oklahoma Citybased rock band, returned this year to Ogden on July 18 for a sold-out event. Salt Lake City-based electronic band Divorce Court opened and The Growlers, from Dana Point, California, followed.

“This show is 100% SOLD OUT. No tickets will be available at the gates,” shared Ogden Twilight Thursday on their Facebook page. “Do not snooze on tickets to future shows. We have several other shows that will sell out this year.”

The Twilight Concert Series, with pre-party celebrations at the Monarch, live performances and official afterparties at Alleged, is a popular Ogden attraction featuring a variety of music, food, drinks and art.

“It’s electric,” shared Will Brown, a con-

certgoer. “All the colors on stage, the performers’ energy, and the crowd. I love it!”

Not everyone who showed up was able to attend the event. Being a sold-out event, Ogden Twilight also warned people of buying scalped tickets and to be wary of bots and scammers.

“Some of my friends didn’t get tickets because they sold out,” Brown said. “One friend found one from another friend who couldn’t come. Thankfully some of us purchased them beforehand or had season tickets.”

Ogden Twilight sent out an emoji-filled appreciation on Facebook Friday celebrating their second popular event with The Flaming Lips, thanking The Flaming Lips for supporting the concerts.

OGDEN'S MAYORAL CANDIDATES 4 | MyWeberMedia.com | July 23, 2019

DEBATE AT WSU

By HEATHER WRIGHT Reporter

Four candidates are in the race for Ogden Mayor in 2019: incumbent Mayor Mike Caldwell, Ogden City Planning Commissioner Angel Castillo, Ogden businessman Daniel Tabish and perennial candidate for office in Weber County, John Thompson.

At 7 p.m. on July 18, Ogden citizens joined in Lindquist Hall to watch the four candidates debate.

The Haven J. Barlow Lecture hall was nearly full of people listening as Bob Hunter, director of Olene S. Walker Institute of Politics and Public Services, asked the candidates about their thoughts on various

issues affecting the city.

Caldwell would enter third term as mayor if elected. He has focused on making Ogden a community people want to come visit as well as working on economic development and plans to continue this pursuit.

Castillo, formerly from Los Angeles, would like to make a safer community by recruiting and retraining Ogden’s law enforcement officers. She has also said she would like to fix the streets and sidewalks, as well as focus on expanding housing needs as the population grows.

Tabish, a life-long Weber County resident, plans to bring more businesses into Ogden to increase economic prosperity. He said he wants to lower the crime rate and

taxes.

Thompson, a former U.S. Marine Corps officer, has said he would spend taxes how the public wants while making Ogden somewhere people want to be.

After the candidates introduced themselves, Hunter asked the candidates how they would engage the community in an “authentically transparent way.”

Castillo answered first. She proposed regularly reaching out and interacting with the community by way of frequent town hall meetings, which would be more casual than council meetings.

Tabish said he would have an “opendoor policy” for the office, as well as have the police out in the communities to con-

nect with the citizens.

Caldwell responded to Tabish, saying he already has an effective open-door policy in place since he’s been mayor, which would continue if he is re-elected. He said his focus is crime reduction through actively policing and reaching out to the community.

Thompson said he had problems with how decisions are made and communicated to the public.

“I think there are many, many things that are being discussed that we don’t know about,” Tompson said. “You don’t really find out about that stuff until you go to the council meeting that the decision is being made at.”

To raise awareness of what’s happening

in the city, he would start sending out regular bulletins to inform the community.

Next, Hunter asked the candidates about their understanding of race relations in the community and how they would address them if elected.

Both Tabish and Thompson responded that they were not aware of major race relation problems in Ogden. However, they said that if problems do arise, they would need to be addressed immediately.

Castillo disagreed, saying she has connected with affected groups who want connection.

“At those meetings, I have heard fear,” she said.

She added that there is a lack of foot patrols in the areas that need them the most.

Caldwell also reported seeing these issues, though he has been proactive in

working to promote diversity by including an Officer of Diversity in his office and helping to create the Diversity Commission.

The candidates then were asked how they could support a “sustainable safety net” for the most vulnerable in the community.

While the candidates seemed to be in agreement that volunteer organizations play a large part in helping the most vulnerable groups, Castillo argued they need help.

“Supporting the most vulnerable is something we are failing miserably at,” she said. “We, as a city, are not interacting with our non-profits that are doing the good, heavy work that they are.”

She suggested applying for grants to help the community and taking advantage of the free state and federal resources.

Caldwell rebutted Castillo’s comments, saying that the city has already received money from grants and does more to take care of the community than many other cities along the Wasatch Front.

Hunter then asked the candidates what percent of the city’s budget they would use for economic development. Although none of the candidates were willing to specify a fixed percentage, they did have more to say.

Thompson said he would like to see more Ogden citizens employed rather than commuters.

Caldwell would rather focus on the return on investment rather than a fixed percentage.

“There are a ton of problems and ounces of resources,” Caldwell said, explaining that it is hard to know how much to allocate

to economic development.

He said he appreciates that Ogden has kept its history with the development of places like Historic 25th Street and wants to continue that effort because it has helped develop Ogden’s economy.

Castillo said that Ogden shouldn’t be treated as a development. Rather, she suggested looking to working with Ogden’s local businesses instead of big businesses from outside the city.

Tabish took an opposite stance to Castillo, saying that he would bring new businesses to Ogden to improve the tax base.

Although no formal Q&A was held, attendees were able to meet with the candidates after the debate.

BASKETBALL BACK TO THE GULF COAST JOSHUA WINEHOLT | The Signpost

By BRANDON MAY Section Editor

Four years after beating Murray State in the Gulf Coast Showcase Championship, the Weber State Men’s Basketball team is headed back to Estero, Florida, on November 25-27 in hopes to repeat as champions.

The Gulf Coast Showcase has been around for seven years, and this year’s field will include two universities that compet-

ed in last year’s NCAA Tournament: Murray State and Northeastern.

The Wildcats are set to open the showcase against Wright State on Nov. 25 at 5 p.m. Eastern time. The ’Cats and the Raiders have never met before, and the Raiders of Wright State will be no easy match as they took first in the Horizon League last year.

Win or lose, the Wildcats would take on Murray State or La Salle in the second

game of the tournament on Nov. 26 and could either play Northeastern, South Alabama, Drake or Miami (Ohio) on Nov. 27.

The Wildcats sit at 3-2 against teams they have already competed against in the showcase including Drake, Miami (Ohio) and Murray State.

Weber State has only ever appeared one other time in the Gulf Coast Showcase in 2015, where they defeated Central Michigan; Drake and Murray State and were

crowned as champions.

The Wildcats have now competed in five straight preseason tournaments, playing in the Bahamas, Virgin Islands and Alaska, in addition to Florida.

Weber State’s non-conference schedule is yet to be completed, but the Wildcats will take on the West Coast Baptist Eagles in Ogden on November 19.

THE MIGHTY BEGINS TO FALL

By WESTON LEE Reporter

Demolition for the Science Lab building began July 15. By mid-afternoon, the west side of the building already had an exposed cavity marking the start of an estimated two-week demolition process.

July 7, the cooling was out across eight buildings on campus in order to cut and cap the chilled water lines that ran through the Science Lab. With a series of leaks, contractors and experts worked around the clock, along with WSU personnel, to get the cooling back up and running.

However, due to these same links, the cooling was not re-

stored by the morning of July 15 and eight to nine buildings had no cooling until approximately 3 p.m. that afternoon.

“With a project like this, we hope that all goes according to plan and schedule, but we realize that there are a lot of moving parts and a lot of unknowns that we may run into,” Project Director Timothy Israelsen said. “We are thankful the contractor and their subs worked around the clock, along with WSU personnel, to get the cooling back up and running.”

Any new effects this demolition might have across campus, along with any progress, will continue to be updated.

IS

OUR LAND

DANYA GIL Commentary

AUBREE ECKHARDT | The Signpost

THIS LAND

On July 14, Donald Trump tweeted about four Democratic congresswomen, telling them to “go back” to the “broken and crime infested places from which they came.”

While he did not specifically name names, it is likely the tweet was aimed at first-term Congress members Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib, who are all U.S. citizens.

Ocasio-Cortez was born in the Bronx,

Pressley was born in Chicago and Tlaib is from Detroit. Omar was born in Somalia and became a U.S. naturalized citizen when she was a teenager.

With the tweets freshly on their minds, attendees of a Trump rally in North Carolina on July 17 broke into chants of “send her back,” aimed at Omar. The following day, Trump said he disagreed with the chant and tried to stop it by “speaking very quickly.”

Trump looked around and let the chant go on until it died down — 13 seconds later.

But one day after trying to distance himself from the chants, Trump hit reverse and began defending rally attendees. Reverting to classic Trump sayings of “record crowds” and “packed stadiums,” Trump said those who were in attendance are “incredible people, those are incredible patriots.”

While Trump can go back to his life of ig-

norance with no consequences and media outlets face the decision of whether they should label Trump and the chants as racist, life goes on in America. And in this America, more and more people have to prove their American-ness. Even President Barack Obama was subject to this during his time in office.

On the same day as the North Carolina rally, an Illinois gas station clerk told two Hispanic women, “You’re in the wrong country.”

After questioning the women’s citizenship status, harassing their nieces for speaking Spanish and telling the women “ICE will come,” the clerk was fired, according to NowThis News.

Erica Thomas, the minority vice chair in the Georgia House of Representatives, went live on Facebook to share what happened to

her on July 19.

Thomas, who is nine months pregnant, had 15 items while waiting in the 10-itemsor-less line in the grocery store with her daughter. She said a white man came up to her, called her a “lazy son of a b**ch” and told her “you need to go back where you came from.”

Racism is not on the rise in this country; it never left. The reason people think they’re seeing it more is because cell phone videos and social media allow those being victimized to share their experiences. Additionally, we now have someone in power who constantly spews hate, making like-minded people feel emboldened. They do not have to hide anymore.

When asked if he was concerned that people saw his tweet as racist and that white nationalist groups are finding com-

mon cause with it, Trump said he was not concerned because “many people agree with me.”

Always wanting to be the most popular in the room, Trump does not care how his tweet came off or what it will ignite as long as people agree with him.

The United States has a history of treating non-white people as “others” and second-tier citizens.

During debates centered on the abolishment of slavery, white leaders agreed that rather than grant slaves citizenship, the solution was to have them “return” to Africa, according to the Boston Globe. Abraham Lincoln said in a speech from 1854 that his “first impulse” would be to free slaves and then “send them to Liberia, to their own native land.”

In 1942, Franklin D. Roosevelt signed an

executive order that authorized the internment of Japanese Americans. During this time, Japanese Americans were arrested without evidence.

After the September 11 attacks, Congress passed the Patriot Act — legislation that granted new power to domestic law enforcement and international intelligence agencies. A 2003 report from the Justice Department’s inspector general showed Muslim Americans were being profiled in airports, verbally harassed and physically assaulted.

There are currently ICE raids targeting Latinos. People from Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala seeking asylum in the U.S. instead have their children stripped away from them and spend time locked in camps along the U.S.-Mexico border.

These events continue to happen in our

country that prides itself in being a melting pot of ethnicities and cultures. People of color continue to be reminded that we are seen as “other.” It does not matter whether we were born in the U.S., became citizens, what our education level is, how perfect our English becomes or whether we served in the military. We will simply never be American enough to Trump and people like him.

As soon as a person of color presents an idea that is different and could change the way the U.S. operates, they are confronted with the notion to “go back.”

And yet, despite the chant that echoed in the North Carolina rally and the nativism that continues to see the light of day, there are people like the Minnesotan crowd that greeted Omar upon her arrival on July 18.

“Welcome home, Ilhan,” the crowd chanted while holding banners showing their

support for the congresswoman.

In response to Trump’s tweets, Ocasio-Cortez recounted the story of the first time she visited Washington D.C. Her father had her look at the Washington Monument and the Capitol and told her that “this belongs to all of us.”

“The first note that I want to tell children across this country is that no matter what the president says, this country belongs to you. It belongs to everyone,” Ocasio-Cortez said.

“Go back to your country” will continue to be the lazy, unoriginal concept regurgitated by those who are afraid of people like Omar, Pressley, Tlaib and Ocasio-Cortez.

Newsflash, this is their country, and they’re the ones who are actually going to make it great.

Pioneer Days in Ogden allows the community to engage in activities like bareback riding, steer wrestling, clown acts, team roping, saddle bronc riding, tie down roping, barrel racing and bull riding.

This year marks the 85th celebration for Ogden Pioneer Days. According to the Standard-Examiner, Ogden Pioneer Days Rodeo has been ranked among the nation’s top five best large outdoor rodeos, attracting more than 30,000 attendees each July.

Jeff Haney — a communications professor at Weber State and member of the Pioneer Days organizing committee for six years — discussed the importance behind Pioneer Days and the sense of community it brings to Northern Utah.

“The honor of being ranked among the top five is reserved for the best of the best in the country,” Haney said. “We have worked really hard to provide a rodeo to this community that honors this tradition

that has been established in this area since 1934.”

The Pioneer Days celebrations started July 10 with events like concerts, fireworks, parades, Miss Rodeo pageants and the pre-rodeo. Despite the late-July heat, the July 20 rodeo brought in thousands of fans ready to cheer on this year’s Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association contenders.

The Pioneer Days rodeo competition is a way for cowboys to win cash prizes. According to Kevin Sweazea, a retired bull rider, numerous cowboys make most of their money competing in these events.

Kevin Sweazea was visiting Ogden’s Pioneer Days Rodeo for the first time to watch his 23-year-old son Carl Sweazea, who competed in team roping. Carl Sweazea was in the running for this year’s rookie of the year.

Team roping is an event in which horseback riders compete in pairs to rope the horns and legs of a steer in the fastest time.

Kevin Sweazea said he was excited for his son because he is just starting out his professional rodeo career. Carl Sweazea’s part-

ty ersi Univ ion tate ecreat er S R Web ampus C

oor d t Ou gram Pro

ner, Bj Campbell, has been to the national’s final rodeo a few times.

“It’s action every single second. It’s a display about athleticism, a display of perseverance, a display of the courage, and in addition to that, it displays the patriotism.

We honor the rights and the freedom the country has,” Haney said.

The top 15 cowboys at each event compete at the final rodeo in Las Vegas, the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. Cash prizes are given to the winners of the rodeo, but some cowboy’s eyes are after the belt buckles prize.

According to Jessica Saunders, an avid rodeo attendee, buckles are worn with pride and tell a person what and when the competitors have won.

“It’s exciting to get dressed like a cowgirl and feel the excitement from the bull riders. You can feel their energy from the stand,” Saunders said.

In addition to the cowboys, Pioneer Days rodeo features Whoopie Girl riders, a tradition stretching all the way back to the beginning of Ogden Pioneer Days in

1934. Jake Hansen, a behind-the-scenes worker, assists the Whoopie Girls, who ride horses out onto the field carrying flags of the rodeo’s sponsors. Of course, Hansen described the rodeo as his favorite part of the Pioneer Days celebration.

Kale Watkins also helps the Whoopie Girls, as his wife is one. Watkins helps them with their horses to calm them down and get them out of the gate. Watkins enjoyed the energy and atmosphere of the event.

“It’s a good environment here. Everybody gets excited, everybody gets into it.

The crowd has a fun time. The announcers keep it upbeat, there’s never a dull moment,” Watkins said.

The Pioneer Day Rodeo brings together generations and aims to remind attendees of “the roots of our free country.”

“If you’re an adrenaline junkie, if you like those thrills, if you like to see things that seem darn near impossible, then rodeo is the sport for you,” Haney said.

WILDCAT FOOTBALL RECEIVES PRESEASON HONORS

By IAN SYME Reporter

At the Big Sky Football Media Kickoff, in Spokane, Washington, Weber State University led the Big Sky Conference with seven players named to the Football Preseason All-Conference Team.

Head coach Jay Hill spoke to media at the event and shared his outlook for the upcoming season.

“We’ve been in the right place at the right time,” Hill said. “We’ve done a good job of taking care of the ball, and we’ve got good players, obviously.”

Hill’s tenure as head coach has built a program that improves each year, and with the seven players named as all-conference selections, the upcoming season should continue that upward trend.

The three seniors named to the team were defensive ends Adam Rodriguez and Jonah Williams alongside linebacker Auston Tesch.

The team also includes junior receiver and kick returner Rashid Shaheed, ju-

nior offensive guard Ty Whitworth and junior kicker Trey Tuttle.

Shaheed described what has helped him achieve his success as a kick returner.

“The scheme, vision, knowing where my guys are going to be blocking and who they’re going to be blocking,” Shaheed said. “My coaches do a great job of setting up a game plan to make it real easy when we step out there.”

The only sophomore named to the team was running back Josh Davis. He received multiple honors for his stellar freshman season, including the Jerry Rice Award for the most outstanding freshman in Division I FCS. “I really can’t say enough about the players and how they’ve bought into me as a coach, our program and what we’re trying to accomplish,” Hill said. “It’s led to success the past couple of years.”

The seven Wildcats selected for the Preseason All-Conference Team received All-Big Sky honors after last year’s campaign.

Hill, Shaheed and Williams repre-

sented the Wildcats at the Media Kickoff and during the event.

At the Media Kickoff, preseason rankings were released from both the coaches and media. In both polls, the Wildcats were picked to finish third in the Big Sky behind rivals Eastern Washington and UC Davis.

The Wildcats received 124 total points in the coaches poll but did not receive any first place votes. In the media poll, they finished with 471 points and four first place votes.

Hill believes that preseason rankings have no bearing on where the team will finish at the end of the season and anticipates that a strong coaching foundation will bring great success to his team.

“Our goals every year are to win a conference championship and to get into the playoffs and win games. Now we have to take the next step and get further in the playoffs,” Hill said. “Our key is continuing to build on what has brought us success in the past and find a way to get better. If we do that, we should be right there, contending for a

third conference title.”

Although the Wildcats have a lot of returning offensive weapons, the defense will look to replace last season’s seniors from its vaunted lineup. Seven defensive players graduated with firstteam All-Big Sky honors. Despite the defensive player turnover, they will look to repeat last season’s effort, where they allowed a league-low 21.2 points and 319.6 yards per game.

Williams expects the Wildcats’ strong defense to continue in the upcoming season.

“Our goal going into it is just making (our opponent’s) offense one-sided.

If we can take away the rush and get a pass, that’s just a better ball for us,” Williams said.

The Wildcats’ season kicks off August 31 at San Diego State. Their home opener takes place September 7 against Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo.
