Get out. Call out. Hide out. Keep out. Spread out. Help out. Take out. These are simplified instructions to keep in mind if an active shooter becomes present. LCSC hosted active shooter training sessions on Feb. 16 and Mar. 1.

Stemmed from questions by students and faculty, these briefings invited faculty and staff members to gain awareness on how to prepare for situations in the case of an active shooter on campus.

Barbara Pierce, director of campus security, introduced the topic with, “Get away if you can, if you can’t-hide. Nowhere to hide; ask yourself ‘what would I do?’”

An informational video was played, emphasizing that people who make it out alive have the mind set of survival. They act quickly and effectively to survive in a stressful situation. They must also trust their instincts. They first try to get out of the area, and make certain to call the authorities. LCSC has a mass notification system, but they can’t notify people until the authorities are first notified. If someone cannot get out of the area, then they have to hide out. When hiding out, blockade

the entrance so the shooter can’t get in. Spread out in the room so that it is harder for the shooter to target. If it comes down to it, take out the shooter- but this is not to be taken lightly. It takes total commitment.

When the video concluded, Pierce explained what LCSC is doing to protect against these types of threatening activities. Along with taking a full inventory of doors on campus and switching out locks so that keeping terrorists out is as simple as pushing a button, LCSC has been talking to

Lewiston police officer, Rob Massey, about posting placards by the light switches in classrooms with the room numbers and building addresses on them. Knowing the exact address of where you are located on campus is important so that authorities can find you more quickly.

There is a Behavior Response Team at LCSC as well. They meet weekly to talk about situations brought to their attention about possible threats or unsettling people. They work to figure out how these situations should be

handled, or how these people can be helped so that it doesn’t escalate into a crisis.

“Communication is a huge problem. We want to know about anyone that is making you very uncomfortable or raising the little hairs on the back of your neck,” Vice President of Student Affairs, Andy Hanson said.

Campus security offers evacuation drills in the summer to those who are interested, and invites the Lewiston Police Department and Fire Department to visit LCSC often to do practice

drills and training sessions, so that they are familiar with the terrain in a time of need. Trainings like these better prepare people to react more efficiently in a panic situation.

OpiniOnI need to get back on the horse.Literally. I ride my horses often, but recently I have been focusing a

lot more on my young mare, Tag. Meanwhile, I haven’t been spending as much time training and practicing on my competition mare, Poppy. Poppy is an older horse, and I like to give her time off to relax and recover after vigorous rides.

Unfortunately, that seems to have created a bit of a problem. Poppy is a power house and a spit-fire of a horse. She has seemingly limitless energy that doesn’t reflect her ripe age of 16. I took her to a race last weekend and had a less than satisfactory run, struggling to keep us on track with her unfocused energy. I can’t say I blame her. I’m the one that hasn’t been putiing in the time that she clearly needs.

Competition season is approaching, and it’s time to get back in the saddle and down to business.

Is there anything you’ve always meantto try or a place you’ve always wanted to go? Maybe you’ve always wanted to learn to play the guitar. Or about taking up a new sport?

There must be at least one thing that you’ve always dreamed of doing, but haven’t gotten around to. Whether it’s a new hobby to try, a new friend to make or person to ask out, or a city that you’ve never visited, stop dreaming and make it happen! Just take the leap. We have one life to live and sometimes it may seem difficult, scary or impossible, but there is literally no time like the present. You’ll keep saying, “Oh I want to do that someday,” and someday turns into never. So audition for the play you want to even when you’re shaking on stage. Sign up for kickboxing or dance even if you think they’ll laugh at you. Visit a city that you’ve never been to before. You never know how great it could be or how much you could love it! Even if it’s not the best thing ever, at least you can say you tried. I’m learning that the only way to chase your dreams is to do something that seems scary at first, because that’s the only way to achieve the best stuff the world has to offer.

You’ve heard the name, but do you know or play the game? Fad diets, weight loss programs and ideal body trends have become increasingly popular. There are juice cleanses, gluten-free diets, Weight Watchers diets, and the Paleo diet, and that’s just to name a few. There’s P90X and CrossFit. On top of that we have beauty trends like thigh gaps and thigh brows. There are way more, and new trends are being invented every day. What’s the deal with all of these? Are they worth the time and effort, or are they over-hyped? I’m here to say I don’t believe the hype, and here’s why: Healthy is a lifestyle, not a trend.

What ever happened to just eating a healthy and balanced

diet and staying active? Being healthy is something you have to continuously work towards your whole life. Otherwise, it’s just a passing trend like skinny jeans or side bangs that will eventually be old news. The underlying problem with weight

loss fads and trends is just that: They’re fads. By definition, that means they will come and go. In doing that, they set unrealistic short-term final goals, instead of setting realistic and healthy long-term life goals. You look towards a short-term goal weight

Healthy is a lifestyle not a trend.

or appearance, then once you get there you’re satisfied and you stop. There’s the issue. Once you stop you go right back to where you started. When you stop a fad diet or weight loss program, the results could start to fade and possibly very quickly. That’s why healthy should be a lifestyle not a fad habit or phase in your life. People today want a quick fix, and a quick result. If you start to

Google “How to lose weight” the first pop-up suggestion is “How to lose weight fast.” Those results may come quickly, but they won’t be hanging around for long once you quit the diet or program. So forget about crash and fad diets. Choose to eat a healthy balanced diet, always. Forget about short-term weight loss programs that promise “Fast results!” Choose to stay active your whole life.

Forget about the current beauty

trends like thigh gaps or brows.

Remember that these beauty and

body ideals with soon fade, and

another unattainable trend will

rise. Being healthy doesn’t come

over night. There is no “quick

fix” answer. It’s a lifelong choice.

Students are getting involved and making their voices heard at Lewis-Clark State College. Freshman Sidney Fenton was appointed to ASLCSC Senator on Feb. 18, 2016.

Born and raised in Payette, ID, Fenton is majoring in Elementary Education with an emphasis in special education.

“I joined [ASLCSC] because I wanted to get out of my comfort zone and really see what ASLCSC is, and have the hopes that I can make a change,” Fenton said.

Fenton plans to take this semester to learn about ASLCSC

and its duties, and hopes to get students aware of its presence as well.

“I feel as students we should challenge ourselves and do things,” said Fenton, “Would you rather look back and say ‘I wish I was involved in campus activities’ or say ‘Wow, I can’t believe I was so involved, I am so glad I got to experience such involvement.’?”

Students are allowed to attend ASLCSC meetings to see what the organization does for campus. Meetings are held every Tuesday at 4:30 p.m., and more informal roundtable meetings every Thursday at 4:30 p.m., both located in SUB 225.

Is there anyone out there who knows what the word untrammeled means? Furthermore what does literature have in common with the wild, uninhabited places in our world? On Wednesday, Mar. 2, Gary McFarland, an accomplished wilderness activist, came to LCSC and joined Professor Peter Remien’s English 210 class to speak on the Wilderness Act.

McFarland, along with Remien, also explored the correlation between literature

and wilderness. Many of LC’s English and Science professors were in attendance.

McFarland briefly led the audience through the Wilderness Act, pausing momentarily on a couple different occasions to highlight two items in the act. The first pause was to define the word untrammeled, which McFarland outlined as “unrestricted, wild, and unconfined”. Shortly after, the presenter brought forth a beautiful piece of language from the Wilderness Act’s text, “Wilderness: where man himself is a visitor, who does not remain.”

The audience members were

encouraged to raise questions they may have at any time during the speech, and early on a common theme between literature and wilderness was brought forth. Time. The rolling hills, the mountains, the trees and soft flowing streams of the world have existed through the test of time. Man has come and gone, yet the nature of the world has endured long before and will endure long after men have come and gone. Literature is the same. If a piece of writing is truly literature it will stand the test of time, it will be prominent in the past, present and future. In this way the two entities are similar.

McFarland is a well-educated and articulate speaker and many of his quotes helped the audience to see the literature that is in wilderness. “Wilderness has a savage beauty, when in nature one experiences that place on its terms; it puts us in our place.”

There are many areas in our country that are protected by the Wilderness Act and are untrammeled. Some believe that these lands should continue to be wild and uninhabited while others are more inclined to colonize these places. As long as we have these wildernesses in our world, we are able to hold on to our savageness; the ancient,

primitive wildness that lurks within all of us.

McFarland opened the eyes of his audience to a generally unknown topic. Even if you do not agree with what the presenter is saying, it allows one to think abstractly and look at the world through a different scope, to explore correlations that one may never have guessed existed.

Are you ready to take a trip down memory lane with the Tanners, a Gladstone and a

Katsopolis who teamed up in the 90’s to raise three daughters in San Francisco? Do you remember that catchy theme song?: “Everywhere you look, everywhere you go, there’s a heart (there’s a heart),

a hand to hold onto!” Yes I’m talking “Full House,” the series that jump-started many careers and catch phrases like “How rude” and “You got it dude!” Well memory lane is here, and it’s come in the form on “Fuller

House,” the series reboot starring the original cast.

“Fuller House” is about DJ, the oldest daughter, raising her three sons with her iconic friend Kimmy and her sister Stephanie

to help along the way. This show begins with a similar set-up to the original. DJ is a single mother, raising her sons with the help of a goofy best friend and a sibling; we can see the similarities to the 90’s original. The cast is almost

all the same, even though they are missing the Olsen twins. The characters mention Michelle being in New York, and the entire cast looked directly into the camera, breaking the fourth

Have you ever noticed yourself referencing internet memes in a real-life conversation? And for that matter, when was the last time you read a newspaper other than The Pathfinder? The way Americans “talk” to each other hardly resembles the past-- even since just the early 2000’s. Thankfully, Assistant Professor of Communications, Ben Morton, is hard at work helping the Communication Arts department-- and LCSC students alike-- make sense of all these technological changes.

“One great example of how social media is changing communication would be the selfie,” Morton said. Prof. Morton pointed out a recent study that found ‘selfie shaming’ was largely linked to perceptions of vanity among teenage girls for example, but that study had to be done by looking at nearly 900 articles. “There’s a tremendous amount of data... but there’s a problem: we need people to make sense of all of it.”

That seems to be part of why Prof. Morton enjoys teaching about new media so much, because it gives him another chance to survey more of the

communications landscape: “The difficult classes are the best ones to teach because it means you get to learn as a teacher too,” he added. Prof. Morton also enjoys teaching public speaking because

it lets him see what is new and what students find important, as well as help them with their essay writing abilities.

Prof. Morton has always been interested by the technological side of communication, particularly the audio side of filmmaking. During his time in high school, his school was

fortunate enough to have access to video equipment, which he and his friends made good use of. By the end of high school, Prof. Morton had even submitted a video assignment in place of an essay, going on to apply for film school. More recently however, his focus has shifted to the role technology has played in changing the way we communicate.

Outside of class, he is also a faculty senator here at LCSC. Prof. Morton is from the mid-west originally and has only recently took up the Northwest tradition of fly fishing. Before coming

to the LC Valley, he studied at DePaul University in Chicago.

Professor Morton is also looking for students to join and help found a Social Media Club here at LCSC. If you are interested in joining and helping make sense of

communications today, contact Professor Morton at [email protected] or stop by his office in Spalding Hall.

Fuller House, page 6wall, so they’re clearly not skirting around the subject. They even throw some shade towards the Olsen twins for picking their fashion careers rather than returning to the show that began their careers. John Stamos (Uncle Jesse) did have something to say about this in a recent interview. “They’re totally welcome. I was going to see Ashely last night and beg her to be on the show,” Stamos said. “We would love to have them. I know everyone would love to see them.” There have been speculations that there will be someone else to play the twins’ role as the youngest Tanner onscreen. This might be a bad move, because the audience who

grew up watching “Full House” will not be fooled. The iconic role cannot be replaced. Even though “Fuller House” has its audience binge-watching on Netflix, it may still be a risky move to try and incorporate a “new” Michelle. Plus, there may still be a possibility that the Olsen twins eventually agree to appear on the show. All we can do is wait to see how it unfolds.

I highly encourage you to check out “Fuller House” in your free time that you’re not doing homework. It’s definitely worth binge-watching on Netflix. The first season is on Netflix, and it has been renewed for a second season.

Lewis-Clark State CollegePress Release

Miranda Brown earned Lewis-Clark State College’s first ever Multi event All-American, placing sixth in the Pentathlon to highlight day one of the NAIA Men’s and Women’s Indoor Track and Field National Championships at the David E. Walker Track at Gentry Field on Thursday.

Brown got LCSC off to a fast start as the freshman set one personal record and three season-bests in the five event pentathlon. Brown set a new PR in the high jump, clearing 1.59m (5-0.25) with season-bests coming in the shot put (9.94m, 32-7.5), long jump (5.39m (17-8.25) and 800m (2:34.99). Her best finish came in the long jump where she was

third.“Miranda was awesome today,”

said Warriors Assistant Coach Cyrus Hall. “She’s been battling some kind of respiratory bug, but she battled through it and showed her character and toughness. Her attitude was great. She was confident and ready; had a plan, set goals and accomplished them in every event. I believe seeing her get out to a good start brought everyone else a little energy and clamed some nerves.”

Rachel Cundy also ran well, finishing sixth in her heat and 10th overall in a time of 18:14.14, qualifying for the 5000m run final on Saturday.

On the men’s side, the only Warriors to compete were the Distance Medley Relay team which won its heat and finished second overall in the preliminaries with

a time of 10:11.40. The Warriors were led by Sam Atkin, who ran a 4:06 mile on the anchor leg. The finals of the event will take place on Saturday.

The women’s 4x400m relay also competed on Thursday and nearly hit a season-best time, finishing in 4:02.16.

The Warriors continue competition at the NAIA Championships tomorrow with Tomislav Smith kicking things off in the men’s mile at 10:20 a.m. PST. Live video coverage can be found at www.naianetwork.com<http://www.naianetwork.com/> with live results available at www.timinginc.com<http://www.timinginc.com/>.

Brown earns All-American on first day of NAIA Indoor Nationals


The sixth-ranked and top seeded Lewis-Clark State College men’s basketball team trailed sixth-seeded University of Great Falls by as many as nine points, but pulled away at the end for a 76-68 Frontier Conference Semifinal victory on Friday night at the Activity Center.

“It wasn’t pretty all the time offensively tonight,” said Warriors Head Coach Brandon Rinta. “They played well tonight. We wanted to contain them on penetration and they did a nice job knocking down shots tonight. At the end there we knocked down a few shots which helped us elevate our defense and got us some separation.”

The win means the Warriors

will host the conference championship game for the second consecutive season with Carroll College coming to Lewiston on Monday, March 7 at 7 PM. Tickets for the championship are available at the LCSC ticket office or by calling 208-792-2471.

“This is the kind of game that gives a coach a heart attack,” said Warriors Assistant Coach Austin Johnson. “But credit our guys, they found a way to win. UGF is a very tough team. Credit their coaches and that program, they really controlled the pace early on and at times it felt like we were running in wet cement, but we finally found an offensive rhythm in the second half.”

The visitors got off to a fast start, scoring the first five points and stretched the lead to as many

as nine points, 27-18, at the6:28 mark. The Warriors responded with solid defense and a 9-0 run, spurred by a Doug McDaniel (JR/Killeen, Texas) 3-pointer. A pair of Rich Tesmer (SR/Fresno, Calif.) baskets tied the game at 27. The senior took over the final two minutes of the half, scoring six of the final eight points to put LC up 35-33 at the break.

“It wasn’t one of our typical barn burners, but I thought the offense looked really good in transition in the first half. It’s hard to get those transition looks against UGF because they are so athletic. You have to give our guys credit, they could’ve conceded a few times, and it got a bit dicey but Jake (Wiley) came up big on the glass and contested shots to help turn the tide,” said Johnson.

Men’s basketball eliminates UGF; will host championship on Monday

On Feb. 26-28, LCSC’s Model European Union (MEU) Team joined schools from across the nation for the University of Washington at Seattle’s annual Model European Union Competition. Sam Elsethagen and Denise Key were assigned to the Austrian delegation, representing it as the EU voted on the TTIP agreement and the refugee asylum crisis.

“It’s hard to negotiate 2 separate issues with 28 different countries in 6 hours,” Denise said,

“Engaging with students from other colleges and universities is always a great deal of fun, [but] I would have liked more time,” Sam and Denise said that while some students were more competitive, all of them were friendly outside the conference room, which was a bit cramped.

After intense negotiations with the Bulgarian, Slovakian and Hungarian delegations, the MEU was unable to pass a resolution on the refugee crisis. However, resolutions were partially adopted on TTIP: “We ended up voting line by line, and a few lines were voted down,” Sam continued, “I feel like I really

got to learn what it is like for world leaders as they interact in the negotiating room.”

The team’s advisor, Professor Leif Hoffmann, is looking for members for next year’s team as well. If you would like to represent LCSC at next year’s competition, check out the Political Sciences page on LCSC’s website or contact Professor Hoffmann at [email protected] for an application and more information.

The Cascade Collegiate Conference announced the Red Lion Players of the Week on Monday and Lewis-Clark State College centerfielder, Jacob Zanon, was named Baseball Player of the Week.

The junior from Beaverton, Ore. Had a huge weekend, hitting .500 (10-for-17) while driving in nine runs and scoring eight more. Zanon was also 3-for-3 on the bases and had an outfield assist. He homered in the first and the last game of the series, with the first being a grand slam that helped seal a 16-2 win. The Warriors swept Oregon Tech to begin NAIA West play and Zanon recorded at least one hit in each game, capping the weekend with a 4-for-5 outing with a double, a home run, three RBI and two runs scored. He slugged 1.059 and had an on-base percentage of .600.

Zanon is the second LC baseball player to win a weekly award, joining pitcher Daulton Blackwell.

Five points from Isaiah Omamogho (JR/Adelaide, Australia) and a three from Cammie Lewis (SR/Norwalk, Calif.) helped stretch the Warriors lead to nine, but the Argos didn’t back down. Great Falls battled back and tied the score at 61 with 4:41 to play, but after trading free throws, the Warriors took over.

McDaniel hit another big three to put LC in front and then converted a 3-point play two minutes late to extend the lead to eight, 70-62 with 1:15 to play. Lewis and Tesmer converted the final six LCSC free throws to seal the semifinal win.

“From the 3-point line, we shot just 7-for-21, but Isaiah hit two big ones, Cammie shot is usual good percentage and Doug was 3-for-4. We got the right guys enough shots and they knocked them down when we needed them,” said Johnson.

McDaniel finished with a

game-high 16 points on 6-of-11 shooting with Tesmer tallying 15, Lewis 14 and Wiley adding 13. The latter also led the team with eight rebounds and six blocks with Lewis adding six boards and seven assists.

Lewis-Clark State finished 24-of-58 from the field for 41.4 percent accuracy despite a 7-for-21 mark from beyond the arc, a 33.3 percent accuracy rate. The Warriors added 21-of-27 free throws while the defense limited the Argos to 42-of-63 from the field (44.4%) including a 7-for-14 mark from the 3-point arc (50%).

The Warriors also had a 40-33 rebounding edge and doled out 18 assist to just 11 turnovers.

The win improves the Warriors to 27-4 on the season, the second-most wins in a single season in program history behind on the 31 put up by the 2003-04 squad.

The 14th-ranked and top seeded Lewis-Clark State College women’s basketball team used a balanced offensive attack to roll past 16th-ranked and fourth seeded Montana State University-Northern 72-64 in the Frontier Conference Semifinals at the Activity Center on Saturday night.

With the win the Warriors improve to 24-6 on the season and will host the University of Great Falls in the Frontier Conference Championship on Tuesday, March 8 at 7 p.m. Tickets for the championship are available at the LCSC ticket office or by calling208-792-2471.

“We were able to find a way to win and at the end of the night that’s the most important thing right now,” said Warriors Head Coach Brian Orr. “They stuck to who they are as a team and we just made enough stops and scored enough points to get the win.”

Lewis-Clark State had every intention of trying to stop Natalee Faupel, the Skylights leading scorer, but she finished with a game-high 28 points as MSUN found a way to get her the ball.

“I was concerned about Northern coming in as they’ve already beaten us twice and how were we going to stop Faupel. Obviously we didn’t, she was tough all night long and gave us

problems. We tried to guard her several different ways, but when you focus on one player other problems are created by helping so much. But our offense came through for us in a big way.”

The Warriors got back to their calling card all season, a balanced offensive attack. LCSC had four players finish with double figure points with every player scoring at least two points. The Warriors racked up 18 assists and were nearly perfect from the free throw line, a stat that proved key.

“Our bench really came through for us, especially in the first half,” added Orr.

The bench finished the night with 15 points to just one for MSUN with 11 coming in the opening 20 minutes.

The game was all square at 17 after the opening quarter, but as has been the case for much of the season, the Warriors used a 22-14 second quarter to pull away. LCSC opened the second quarter on a 7-0 run with a big 3-pointer from Kaylea Knox (JR/Rainier, Ore.). A Brooke Litalien (JR/Post Falls, Idaho) three late in the quarter pushed the lead to a game-high 10 points and helped the Warriors to a 39-31 halftime margin.

“In the first half we were really clicking, but defensively, when a team scores like they did there’s not much you can do. We went to the zone and couldn’t get a stop or a defensive rebound and when we went to man they took

advantages of the mismatches.”In the second half, the story

became the free throw line as the Skylights made 16 trips to the charity stripe, including the final six minutes in the bonus, but converted just nine as LC finished the final 20 minutes 13-of-14 from the line. The Warriors scored nine of the final 11 points at the line to help seal the 72-64 victory.

“I didn’t think our offensive flow was that good in the second half, but we did have 18 assists and Caelyn [Orlandi] is one of, if not the best point guard in the league. She’s so hard to guard and she was able to get to the rim and find the open playertonight. She’s the whole package.”

Caelyn Orlandi (JR/Coeur d’Alene, Idaho) led the Warriors with 16 points and four assists with Brittany Tackett (SO/Coeur d’Alene, Idaho) adding 15 points while Hannah Byerly (SR/Caldwell, Idaho) tallied 11 points and six rebounds. Litalien also had 10 points with Megan Risinger (JR/Tigard, Ore.) grabbing a team-best seven boards.

LC State finished the contest 25-of-51 for 49 percent accuracy while shooting 42.9 percent from the 3-point arc, draining 6-of-14. LCSC also converted 16-of-17 free throws while the Skylights went 15-of-23 from the line. MSUN also converted 21-of-45 shots (46.7%) including 7-of-16 from long range (43.8%).

“I find a way to relax, like an outlet some way. Whether it’s the gym or reading a book or just stopping to watch something on Netflix. As long as you balance it out with other things that aren’t going to stress you out as much as that, then you should be good.”
