Worthen said she doesn’t see many negative side effects from allowing a winery in Cache County, but acknowledged there may be others on the council who have reservations.

According to Keith, two ordinances need to be passed in order for the winery to be worth the trouble: One to allow the winery to operate and another to allow the Meikles to run a cash bar.

In an overwhelmingly conservative county known for cracking down on the misuse of alcohol — one in which an estimated 86.5% of residents are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which discourages alcohol consumption — many on the council are wary of changing the laws to allow for a winery within county jurisdiction.

Keith said one even remarked that it would be like “letting the camel’s nose under the tent.”

“So you’re going, ‘Well, who’s the camel? Am I the camel?’” Keith said. “That doesn’t seem very accepting of people outside of your belief structure.”

According to chief civil deputy county attorney John Luthy, the county’s alcohol ordinances have not been updated in multiple decades and don’t line up with the state’s current statutes in terms of terminology. But this update isn’t something the county is willing to expedite.

“Our county council here is being thoughtful and deliberate as they consider that request that’s come from the Meikles and others,” Luthy said.

Worthen said part of the delay was because the council doesn’t want to craft legislation that is only specific to one business or has unintended consequences for businesses.

When time is of the essence, Keith said it’s hard to not to grow frustrated. Land continues to be bought away from the farm, less than 1800 acres remain. And once Mt. Naomi gets to a certain size, the Meikles won’t be able to turn a profit on their hay and alfalfa. The crop that has kept food on the table in Keith’s family for multiple generations will become worthless.

“We thought we had 10 years, six months ago, and right PHOTO BY John Zsiray now, the development, and the building, and the number of acres that are going into houses, and the pricing and the shortage that COVID has created… We’ve lost five years,” Keith said. “We’re at a five year window of it’s going to become unsustainable.”

In their efforts to adapt and overcome, the Meikles have A winery and vineyard seemed to be the perfect plan.

The addition of one in the area would be a unique attraction. Keith said it would draw in people from Salt Lake City and out-of-state to Cache County.

He even enrolled in and completed a Master’s program in winemaking at UC Davis to prepare himself for the venture.

But the plan has been caught on a hitch — strict alcohol laws in Cache County and a council wary of changing them have put the winery operation almost at a standstill.

“So, we talked to a lobbyist… he said it wouldn’t be any more than six months,” Brenda said. “It’s been two years.”

The controversy of allowing the sale of alcohol in busi— Brenda Meikle nesses is not a new struggle in Cache County. In 2013, the city of Hyde Park was divided over a decision to allow a Maverik gas station sell alcohol. The debate narrowly passed the city council and eventually had to go to the public for a vote.

“It was really close,” Gina Worthen, a Hyde Park representative on the Cache County council, said.

County alcohol ordinances stand in way of farm-saving winery

By Sydney Kidd NEWS STAFF WRITER

Twenty-one thousand acres of golden hay and alfalfa used to make up Mt. Naomi Farms in Cache County, Utah.

The farm’s high-grade cash crop is still sold to polo clubs in Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Georgia and North Carolina.

But as owner Keith Meikle sits on a piece of farm equipment in his field, he sees rows of houses where his crops used to be.

The rapid increase of housing developments have caused Meikle and his wife Brenda to feel like they are being squeezed at both ends.

In terms of the farm’s survival, they’ve got a plan. The only problem is that it involves alcohol — and in a state run by teetotalers, that’s a challenge.

“It’s mind bogglingly frustrating,” Keith said.

The Meikles saw the writing on the wall years ago as more of the land they rented was being bought up for housing development. In 2009 they planted several fruit crops to try to find a means of adaptation and survival. They settled on grapes as Mt. Naomi’s future.

“We talked to a lobbyist… he said it wouldn’t be any more than six months. It’s been two years.”

Study details how to support women in government

By Maron Boyer NEWS STAFF WRITER

Utah Women and Leadership Project at Utah State University recently released a brief that describes women’s experiences working in government, as well as ideas on how to gain positions of power within the government.

The brief was based on a survey conducted with 435 women working in state, county and municipality government positions.

The questions were based on the women’s experiences and opinions towards support, open communication, leadership and equality.

According to the brief, women with higher education were found in higher leadership roles and felt more listened to. In the brief one participant noted that “having a master’s degree provided me a seat at the table.”

However, Brooke Smith, who works as a purchasing agent and deputy city recorder for Murray, Utah, said, “There are less promotional job opportunities as you move up the ladder.”

This is confirmed with the data collected for the UWLP brief.

So, if women want to make a difference they need to stand out from the competition.

Susan Madsen, the founder and director of the leadership project, said it was clear that women should take hold of opportunities.

“A few realized it was important to go to college and finish their degrees,” she said.

“Getting a master’s degree is shown to increase confidence, and increase a woman’s voice and her skill set.”

Smith talks about her experience working in government: “I love working in local government and think there is tremendous potential for anyone, especially women who are interested in a career in local government. There is so much women can do to influence and support the communities they live in.”

She added that she would love to see more women interested in pursuing a career in local government.

There are also challenges women in government positions face.

52 percent, about 142 women, said there are biased attitudes against women in positions of power.

In addition, 27 percent, about 73 women, also said there was biased treatment within the organization.

The brief mentions an experience one participant shared, “I was told to step back and quit meeting and mentoring with this group of women, even on my own time, because it was causing concern for a group of men

who felt the women were getting an extra advantage.”

Other biases that were found were associated with age, as well as religious discrimination. Some of the women mentioned lack of support, stifled voices, unequal pay and social exclusion.

The report put together by UWLP lists several recommendations to help deal with these systemic issues. Recommendations include more family friendly policies like on-site childcare and paid family leave.

Another recommendation is to provide opportunities for women to take the lead on projects and initiatives, as well as identifying opportunities for women to be mentored.

Madsen said she hopes the study spurs further discussion.

“Read our brief and have discussions about this topic. We don’t do the research just to sit on the shelf; we want to say OK, here’s what we can do differently.” ­—maren.boyer@usu.edu

Switching up your first dates

By Sage Souza LIFESTYLES WRITER

D

espite having ample time to fantasize about the time when we can return to our regular social patterns and expectations, the “good first date idea” well still seems to be running a little dry. Dinner and a movie definitely make the first date blacklist, not to mention bowling, concerts or anything with unfamiliar family or friends. So here are 10 fun first dates, good for any season with anybody.

1. Hot chocolate, tea, coffee or smoothie tasting College towns like Logan are teeming with both chain and local cafes and bistros. Plus, depending on the season, there are usually different fun flavored drinks or treats being promoted. Before you go, develop a point or ranking system based on flavor, presentation, wait time, etc. As you go, rank each of the drinks and determine a winner at the end.

2. Looking at changing tree colors, Christmas lights or going for another scenic drive.

This one is fairly self-explanatory. Pump some good music, have your camera ready and enjoy the views.

3. Museum or art gallery While this might seem a bit pretentious or dull, visiting a museum or gallery is perfect for first dates — mostly because you control how long you spend together walking around. If things are a bit awkward or uncomfortable you can speed through, skip exhibits and there is no forced eye contact. But, if things are going well, you can take your time and loop back through to your favorite exhibits. Additionally, if conversation is lacking, you can always talk about the art or the artifacts you’re both seeing instead of just each other.

4. Antique shopping Local antique shops are dotted across both Main Street and Center Street, offering a blast from the past as you stroll around historic downtown Logan.

5. Making pizzas Making pizzas presents a unique opportunity to enjoy an activity and a meal together. If you want to get really fancy you can make the dough by hand, or you can just buy some pre-made. Pizzas usually don’t take that long to bake, leaving an adequate amount of room for conversation while you’re adding toppings to each of your pies and eating.

6. Bob Ross night Watercolor, acrylic, oil — pick your favorite for a unique paint date. One of you bring the paints and brushes and the other the canvasses, light a candle and put on some soft acoustic music in the background. Following along with Bob Ross or another YouTube painting tutorial is a fun way to get creative together.

9. Decorating cookies or cupcakes Cookie and cupcake decorating allow you to do something sweet together. Similar to baking pizzas, you can decide if you would like to make the sweets together or have them made beforehand. There’s nothing better than sharing the wealth, so taking them to friends or neighbors also offers a fun act of service to do together.

7. Thrift shopping Thrift shopping is a great way to find some new gems and get a sense of your date’s style. As a twist, you can go find clothes for each other and then model them, having a mini-fashion show right there in the store.

10. Aquarium or zoo Visiting an aquarium or zoo offers the same benefits as a museum or art gallery, though not as high brow.

Everybody likes animals. Making your way through the zoo or aquarium also offers numerous Instagram-worthy photo-ops to commemorate your favorite animals and your time together.

8. Amusement park Though not available year-round and a bit pricey, amusement parks are a great way to do something thrilling with your date. From screaming on the rollercoasters to trying the fried fair food, amusement parks are a great opportunity to get your adrenaline pumping with your date.

character says about you

By Darcy Ritchie LIFESTYLES WRITER

It’s not always obvious why we gravitate towards certain characters on screen, but your favorite character can say a lot about you. Here’s what your favorite Star Wars character might say about you.

Luke Skywalker You’re either seven years old or a boring adult.

Han Solo You don’t watch Star Wars for the Jedi stuff. You watch it for Han Solo shooting people. You would give anything to jump into hyperspace in the Millenium Falcon.

Princess Leia You like a strong female. She was either your childhood crush, childhood hero or both.

Darth Vader You like villains— not because you agree with them, but because they’re cool.

Obi Wan Kenobi You have taste and probably some daddy issues.

Padme Amidala You have taste and probably some mommy issues.

Anakin Skywalker You only watch the prequels because you think he’s hot.

You can look past the killing younglings thing, it’s fine.

Finn You think Finn deserved better and love when John Boyega goes off on Disney on his Twitter.

Rey You relate to Rey. You are either waiting for something from your past, or you know there’s something great ahead of you. You probably grew up with the sequel trilogy.

Poe Dameron You watch Star Wars for the humor or for Oscar Isaac’s face. Or both.

Kylo Ren Either you feel misunderstood, or you have a thing for bad guys. It’s something in the way he spins that lightsaber.

Rose Tico You deserve better. I’m so sorry.

C3PO You’re very sarcastic. You wish you had a friendship as strong as C3PO and R2D2.

R2D2 You like to swear.

General Grievous Seek help.

A Thanksgiving feast for USU football The Aggies grab a convincing first win of the season against New Mexico

By Dalton Renshaw SPORTS CONTENT MANAGER

Utah State football carved up the New Mexico defense Nov. 26 to take home a Thanksgiving victory, the first of the season for the Aggies, by a score of 41-27. Sophomore quarterback Andrew Peasley sauced all over the Lobos and stuffed the New Mexico defense with a career-high 118 yards rushing and 239 yards passing.

In the first start of his college career, Peasley breathed some much-needed life into the USU offense after a hugely disappointing opening four games. The sophomore was the catalyst in many fruitful drives for the Aggies in the second half. Utah State trailed 13-6 at the half, but Peasley led the team an unprecedented series

“I thought the offense came out driving the ball, just like we prepared for,” Peasley said. “It’s a really good feeling to be successful as a team, not just the offense, but everyone. A win feels really, really good.”

It all started with a 36-yard connection between Peasley and receiver Justin McGriff on a wide-open post route that looked eerily similar to the pattern that McGriff ran just a few weeks ago when he dropped a pass in the endzone against Fresno State. On the next drive, Utah State went 69 yards in just four plays which ended with a 26-yard strike from Peasley to senior receiver Savon Scarver, who broke through the seam to find himself open in the endzone. The third quarter offensive explosion was capped off with a 25-yard pass-and-catch in which tight end Carson Terrell bounced off a tackle

at the line of scrimmage and was able to escape to the sideline to put the Aggies up 27-13.

The offense may have been finished scoring, but on the Lobos’ next possession the Aggies forced a fumble and were able to scoop-and-score from 14 yards out, all thanks to Nick Heniger and Shaq Bond who forced the fumble and Kina Maile picked it up and took it to the house. Utah State was rolling, and for the first time this season, had all the confidence and momentum on its side.

“It’s hard to win football games, but any time you can do it as a team in all three phases – offense, defense and special teams – it’s a great feeling,” said interim USU head coach Frank Maile. “I’m proud of our guys. They see “Football” PAGE 7

USU women win season opener

By Dalton Renshaw SPORTS CONTENT MANAGER

Utah State women’s basketball first-year head coach Kayla Ard opened her tenor with an 81-74 victory against Montana, making her just the third head coach in program history to win their first game and the first since Cindy Perkins in 1978-79.

A couple of newcomers made the most of their debuts for the Aggies Wednesday night, both freshman guard Meagan Mendazona and graduate forward Jessica Chatman pulled down a team-high seven rebounds, while Mendazona led Utah State with 18 points. Mendazona had her hand in all areas of the game Wednesday night, leading the team in points (18), rebounds (7), blocks (4) and steals (4), while also recording five assists in her Aggie debut. Chatman was second on the team with 14 points on the night and four out of five USU starters finished in double figures.

The win didn’t come without some obstacles, as the team had to claw back into the game through the third quarter to find its grasp on a victory.

“I was really pleased with a lot of things that we did, we definitely have some areas to work on, but I was most pleased with our fight back,” Ard said. “I believe we were down 13 points and I’ve been really curious to see how this team was going to fight back when we faced some adversity.”

Utah State picked up its scoring in the second half and shot the ball more efficiently, improving on 44% from the field in the opening two quarters to 53% shooting in the second half. The turnaround didn’t come solely through “Football” FROM PAGE 6 continue to stay focused and stay hungry. The preparation was awesome this week; they did a great job staying locked in with all the ups and downs that we faced.

I couldn’t be prouder to be in charge of this team right now. I love these guys and I’m grateful I’m in charge of them for the time being.”

New Mexico fought back in the fourth quarter and closed the gap to 34-27 with 7:08 left in the game, and the Aggie offense cooled down after the pyroclastic display in the third quarter. This was never a worry for Frank Maile, but something to improve on going forward.

“The fourth quarter got a little bit tighter than we wanted it to,” Frank Maile said. “Ball security was an issue. We have to continue to harp that and how important that is in winning football games. We gave up too many touchdowns on defense, but finished the game the right way with a takeaway.”

Two major plays helped secure the win for Utah State, showing a rise through adversity that hadn’t been shown

an improvement on the offensive end, the defense was the catalyst in the comeback with the Aggies creating turnovers that led to scoring chances.

“It started with our defense, it started with that run before going into the half, with getting steals and our defense was creating our offense,” Ard said.

The Aggies will head to Pocatello Nov. 28 to take on Idaho State in the team’s next game.

earlier in the season. After nearly being sacked to force a fourth down punt, Peasley took off scrambling and burst through the New Mexico front seven and past the secondary for a 62yard score. On the next drive, as New Mexico was driving, third-string quarterback Connor Genal threw a long ball that floated over the receiver and into the hands of freshman safety Luke Marion and the Aggies were able to run out the clock from there.

Utah State will have six days to prepare for its next op-

ponent, Air Force, which comes to Logan Dec. 3 for another Thursday night Mountain West showdown.

OPINION

Trump’s claims of voter fraud are dividing us further T he 2020 presidential election has been a disaster. Regardless of who you wanted to win, that much is clear.

It should be well over at this point, but Trump still refuses to concede, calling the election “the most corrupt election in American political history.” He did, however, tweet in support of Emily Murphy, the Administrator of the General Services Administration, who has finally facilitated the transition of presidential authority to President-elect Joe Biden.

Trump’s refusal to concede stems from his belief of widespread voter fraud due to mail in ballots. His lawyers have taken to the courts in six states including Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Michigan. Trump even has his personal lawyer, Rudy Guilliani, heading the lawsuits after the law firm Porter Wright Morris & Arthur backed out.

Luckily, judges have been sensible and have shot down the unfounded claims of voter fraud. In Arizona, three lawsuits in Maricopa County were dismissed. In Pennsylvania, Trump’s legal team’s claims have been reduced to complaints about inconsistent ballot policies across different counties.

Other claims of people using women’s maiden names to cast ballots in other states or of dead people voting have been proven false by the AP and will likely not hold water in court.

Not only were these lawsuits ridiculous in the first place, they reinforce the tensions and decisiveness among the American public. Social media then worsens this divide as misinformation is rampant and arguments get more aggressive between strangers that have no legitimate connection or respect for one another.

If fewer people trust the process, there will be fewer people voting, which diminishes the democratic foundation that America was built on.

This election cycle threatens our democracy not because of voter fraud, but because there has been a loss of faith in the democratic process. It’s not perfect (take a look at the Electoral College), but it is ours. If fewer people trust the process, there will be fewer people voting, which diminishes the democratic foundation that America was built on.

This will also cause politicians to focus only on the people who actually vote, which will leave out disillusioned Americans. That would lead to further mistrust in the system from that populace because if politicians don’t attempt to reach out to them, why bother?

It’s very plausible that this would contribute even more to the extreme polarization in America because only those who are more passionate will vote, and these passionate voters tend to fall on the further sides of the political spectrum.

We need a strong leader who can unite us and broker lasting compromise across the political spectrum. Biden may or may not be this type of leader, but he has signaled that he is willing to work with Republicans more closely than Trump did with the Democrats.

However, we should not rely on politicians alone to fix our many broken systems in America. Lasting change will come from the populace coming together to share and listen to different perspectives with respect and empathy, working to reduce polarization.

This election makes it more clear than ever that polarized politics are a huge threat to our democracy. It’s a large part of how Trump was able to be elected in the first place, and has solidified his supporter base. He has been able to point at any criticism in the media as “fake news” or as a conspiracy against him, painting himself as a saint that can do no wrong.

This behavior has made Trump’s core supporters unwaveringly loyal and hostile to any outsiders. This directly contributes to the polarization of American politics and allows Trump to manipulate Americans into thinking that the voting process is riddled with voter fraud — is untrustworthy — and will have ramifications beyond this election cycle.

Not only does it lead to further polarization and division amongst Americans, it also sets a dangerous precedent — lack of accountability amongst politicians. No politician is perfect and we as Americans should recognize that and be willing to criticize them when warranted — that’s part of the foundation that our democracy was built upon.

This election threatens our democracy not because of voter fraud, but because there has been a loss of faith in the democratic process. It’s not perfect (take a look at the Electoral College), but it is ours.

Santa website by Dec. 11. Currently for 2020, the Inclusion Center has needs for 23 children from 11 different families.

The Sub for Santa committee has not had to turn families who qualify away in the past, but the funds are actively monitored to ensure widespread impact.

Dorcee Winward, coordinator of Sub for Santa at USU, credits the work of sponsors and volunteers for their commitment to bringing holiday cheer to USU students who need it.

Winward said parents of participating children often send thank you notes to the Inclusion Center and stop into the office to show gratitude. In the season for giving thanks, Winward emphasized her appreciation for past and present volunteers and all of their continuous giving over the years to make fulfilling these families’ needs possible. She shared a special thanks to Michelle Bogdan-Holt, director of the USU Inclusion Center, who is an advocate for staff and students every day and who supports critical initiatives such as Sub for Santa.

For any questions or concerns about Sub for Santa, contact dorcee.winward@usu. edu, 435-797-1729, or visit the Inclusion Center website.

tah State University’s Inclusion Center is sponsoring its 11th Annual Sub for Santa program for USU student families in need.

Each year, student families who need assistance with funding holiday cheer are able to apply for help through this unique initiative in the Inclusion Center.

Individuals can visit the Inclusion Center website to apply. The application asks for details such as monthly income, monthly expenses, a personal statement and each child’s holiday cheer need and wish list.

This year’s sponsored families will have Santa Sacks delivered in an effort to keep individuals off campus due to COVID-19.

Sub for Santa, initially started by department and campus employees who wanted to do something for USU students, has evolved from a tree with a child and their wishes hanging in the office to a more robust program with sponsors and a committee to review the applications. The committee’s purpose is to ensure students applying for assistance are actively taking classes, reviewing financial aid and expenses, and ensuring the application is specifically for their children.

Eleven years of Sub for Santa has been made possible through volunteers and donations. For those wanting to help, Sub for Santa is always looking for individuals or departments to make a financial donation or sponsor a child or family. The program appreciates the continuous contributions made each year from Dining Services, the Entrepreneurship Club and other departmental and individual sponsors.
