Near Kamiah, the Clearwater Complex Fire is 95-percent contained, but not before destroying 42 homes and charring 68,000 acres. For the families who lost everything, the long rebuilding process has begun, with some getting some unexpected, yet welcome help.

On Sept. 18, LCSC hosted a concert to benefit the victims of these recent wildfires. The Clearwater Complex Fire Victim Benefit Concert featured artists from local bands including: The Katz Band, 7 Devils, Faith & Fable/Clearwater, and Homewreckr, with special

guests Simon Tucker and Marty Lukenbill.

The bands kept the audience clapping, toe-tapping, and dancing through the night, as they were treated with well-known songs from Hozier, Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, and even Glen Camball’s “Wichita Lineman,” sung by Marty Lukenbill. The multi-talented artists in attendance played many songs together, focusing on the cause of the event; less worried about what band they came from.

The concert was coordinated by Rollie Hallen, LCSC chemistry instructor and bass guitarist, and Charity Goodell, LCSC Technical Records Specialist II with Student Health Services,

who worked with Amanda Gill, administrative assistant and LC Cares Committee member. They received special support from the Lewiston Tribune, Inland 360, KLEW, KOZE Radio, Pacific Empire Radio, IdaVend Radio, and Big Country News Connection.

All proceeds of the concert will go to support the families and individuals in need. With a committee representing each campus group (PSO, Faculty, CSO, and Students), the proceeds will be distributed directly to the school districts and individual families who were affected by the wildfire.

TRIO program at LCSC receives $1.6 million

By Dallas Callahanof The Pathfinder

Good things come to those who work for them. Student Support Services (TRIO) at Lewis-Clark State College has just been awarded a 1.6 million dollar grant from the U.S. Department of Education, and the gratitude couldn’t be greater.

TRIO is a federally funded project and grants are offered only to institutions meeting certain criteria. The grant the LCSC program received has to be renewed every five years, but it is not an easy feat to be awarded. As a whole, the TRIO program nationwide received around 1,800 written grant applications this year. Only 1,070 were awarded. It is a competitive field, but the cast of TRIO at LCSC were up to the challenge.

They applied for the grant in February, and just received word that they had received the funding. These funds will go toward paying tutors, keeping labs open, allowing TRIO students to print for free, staff salaries, and more.

“The staffing part of these funds is huge.” TRIO Programs Director, Traci Birdsell said. “TRIO is like a family that stays

with the students throughout college.”

The TRIO program continues to work with students even when they have moved on to be advised by their division. According to Birdsell, it’s like having a secondary advisor.

Devon Holland, a senior who has been in the program for his duration at LCSC, agrees that the connections in TRIO are a necessity. “What’s most important are the people that come [to TRIO]. We are like one big dysfunctional family, and when someone graduates, we miss them.”

Academic tutors are a large part of the program. They help out students, and even get the students trained up to become tutors themselves. Then these student tutors help others with their studies, and each tutor has specialized areas.

“The tutoring is the best. Before working here, I needed a lot of math help from Linda [Linda Gallaher, academic specialist] and she’s a whiz. It really helped me with my math skills. Now, when I’m tutoring others it helps me to retain it. I love helping people,” said Dave Taptto, a junior in TRIO.

OpiniOnSometimes I just have to figure things out.I’m one of those people that needs to know what I’m doing. For

example, if I’m writing an essay, I will lose sleep until I have a clear topic set in my mind. Once I have a general path put in place, I’m fine. I can relax.

Well, my senior research project has been eating away at me for the past few weeks. We’ve been in class going on 5 weeks already, and I’ve been pondering over ideas, trying to figure out what I’m going to do. They say to pick something that you love, because if you don’t, you’ll get tired of it. Ok, so I like horses and rodeo and family and journalism and sports. Hmm, how to narrow it down?

Then the other day I was searching the web, and I had an epiphany. I’ll do something along the lines of equestrian journalism. That combines my love of horses and journalism, so that seems perfect.

Now, I don’t have the particulars worked out, but I have an idea. That’s enough for now, and I can rest easy.

Have you ever felt in a weird in-between place, or in limbo? Neither

here nor there? That’s about how my next year is going to go. I just

recently turned 20. I am no longer a teenager, something which I had

been able to call myself for six years. Now, I’m not so much, kinda-sorta

an adult, but not really. Not a teenager and not 21, which everyone

knows is the magical age of “real” adulthood.

Mostly people say, “Wow I can’t believe you’re already 20!” Ah

thanks, me neither… So I guess I’ll just be: “Not a teenager anymore,

not yet 21, lived two decades, can’t believe you’re 20!” for now.

Lately my wallet has seemed heavier than usual, but it’s not because I’m any richer. My change had been building up to the point where my wallet would clink like a piggy bank when I picked it up. For this and many other reasons, I really dislike pennies. It just doesn’t sit right with me that fifty-five pounds of pennies is worth the same amount as a one gram piece of paper. Quite a few countries have done the same math as I have and decided to eliminate their “pennies” altogether.

The penny had become so worthless in Canada thanks to steady inflation that by 2012 it was an economic burden of 11 million dollars per year. Today, mostly due to rising Zinc prices and partially due to inflation, it costs the US 2.4 cents to mint each penny. The Wall

Street Journal also reports that from 2000 to 2014 one in five pennies had gone missing. This means the federal government is minting a lot of expensive coins that just end up discarded or stuck in your change jar forever. In fact, exporting the penny was outlawed in 2006 in order to stop the smelting of pennies into their more valuable raw materials.

Canada’s retirement of the penny comes over thirty years after the US Department of Defense stopped the penny’s use in overseas bases. Instead of accepting the penny’s impending retirement, powerful lobbies such as the vending machine industry and zinc mining conglomerates have rallied to the penny’s support. They have been very successful in influencing American public opinion through a combination of consumer propaganda, direct lobbying of congress and sponsorship of biased economic studies.

Contrary to claims made by the lobbyist-funded Americans for Common Cents, there would be little to no negative impact if the penny were phased out. Most “studies” claiming overall economic harm from penny elimination have been thoroughly debunked. Penny retirement would benefit consumers through faster transactions and less hassle. Businesses get reduced cash handling expenses and reduced transport costs. Government spending would be cut and bureaucracy would be reduced. Seems like it is truly a win-win situation for everyone-- except the zinc companies and vending machine lobbies.

Citizens to Retire the Penny estimates that eliminating the penny would save the US government over 900 million dollars per year, not to mention what it will save businesses and consumers. Most of the economic analysis predicts that eliminating

the penny will have an analogous effect to the elimination of the half-cent piece in 1847. That is to say, it will have little to no negative impact so long as it is a gradual and controlled retirement.

In the end, there’s one thing the penny-huggers never like to include in their statistics. The list of currency retirement success

stories including Australia, Canada, the UK, Mexico, South Korea, New Zealand and even United States when it phased out the penny at overseas bases. The fact is currency elimination not only works on paper, it works in practice too.

To put it a simply as possible, more pennies… more problems.

Sept. 17 marks a memorable day in American history.

This is the day in which the U.S Constitution was signed in Philadelphia in the year 1787. In honor of this day, the Social Sciences Division hosted a Constitution Day event that featured a panel and audience discussion on Article V, and the amendment process of the U.S Constitution. On the panel included LCSC social sciences professors: Amanda Van Lanen, Gene Straughan, Timothy Lynch, Leif Hoffmann, as well as LCSC student, Haseeb Khan. Each professor discussed highlights of the Constitution such as the history, goals, ambitions, the informal aspects that we have inherited, and the importance it still plays today. Khan described the Constitution and system in Pakistan. As well as Hoffmann compared and contrasted the American Constitution with the one of Europe and Germany. The Constitution is such an important aspect to the American life, it is important for people to have some knowledge of the history and importance it plays in our lives today. As Straughan said

“They created a Constitutional system full of majestic phrases and majestic principles that any time I start to think about it, it gives me goosebumps!”

Missed out on the action? Don’t worry, there’s more!

Gough and Cammie Pavesic, will be shown on Tuesday, Sept. 22 at 3pm at the Borah Theatre in the Bruce Pitman Center on UI Campus and at 7pm at the Kenworthy Theatre on Main St. in Moscow. Both showings are free to the public. The movie covers the efforts of Idaho’s LGBT community in their struggle to have the Idaho Legislature add the words “sexual orientation,” and “gender identity” to Idaho’s Human Rights Act. After nine years of fruitless trying, hundreds

of activists shut down the Capitol during the 2014 legislative session. The movie tells their story.

“Add the Words” has been shown in Lewiston, Boise, Pocatello, Coeur d’Alene, Bend, Oregon and at the LGPTA Film Festival in Los Angeles. The Moscow showing is in response to many requests to see it locally.

The director, Camie Pavesic will be present at the film. A panel discussion will follow the evening showing with representatives of the UI LGBTQA Office, and members of the traveling Add the Words Team.

The movie is being presented by the Latah County Human Rights Task Force with assistance from the City of Moscow Human

Rights Commission and the University of Idaho Office of Human Rights, Access and Inclusion.

The Human Rights Task Force is also sponsoring Human Rights Day at the Market on Saturday, September 19 from 8am to 1pm with the theme, “Freedom from Discrimination as a Human Right.” There will be a table at the Farmers Market near the fountain with displays and information about the Idaho Human Rights Act and efforts to amend it.

Some films are works of great art, with astounding technical details. Other films focus less on art, and more on entertainment. Vacation is the latter. The film follows the grown up version of Rusty Griswold (Ed Helms), a character who audiences first met in the original Vacation film starring Chevy Chase (who makes a cameo). Rusty lives an extremely average life, with his wife Debbie (Kristen Bell) and their two

sons, Kevin (name) and NAME (name). Rusty decides that he and his family need a break from their monotonous life, and plans a family trip to the fictional Walley World theme park that he visited as a child with his family. Mishaps, including a run-in with an intimidating trucker, losing all of their possessions, and car trouble plagues the Griswold family’s trip.

The film itself is nothing special- there are poop jokes, f-bombs, and many sexual references, just like every other

comedy this year. Kristen Bell seems unenthused with the role. The funniest part of the film involves a guest appearance by hunky Chris Hemsworth as Rusty’s big shot brother-in-law. The film is forgettable, and it probably wouldn’t make anyone’s top ten favorite movie list. Nonetheless, if you are looking for a fun escape from reality for a few hours, Vacation will gladly distract you with some dumb jokes and a semi-heartwarming ending.

On Thursday, Sept. 17, Professor Laura Earles introduced the audience to Kari Marie Norgaard, who presented an academic talk titled Salmon Feeds Our People: Traditional Foods and Health in an Era of Climate Change.

Norgaard is a professor in sociology and environmental studies at the University of Oregon.

Her topic covered the survival of culture, climate change, traditional foods and health, human-environmental health, connections between human and environmental health, environmental degradation as colonial violence, and dam removal as human rights.

Norgaard conducted a project called “The Effects of Altered Diet on the Health of the Karuk People” that she presented as the main topic on the talk.

Karuk is the second largest tribe in California. They are relatively remote along Klamath and Salmon Rivers with intact

cultural traditions. The traditional Karuk diets

are low saturated fat, complex carbohydrate, high protein, high omega-3, and most importantly, they hunt and fish to eat, which is why salmon is their major consumption. But unfortunately, the Karuk tribe has one of the most recent and dramatic diet shifts of any Indian tribe in United States. Their present day diets are high in refined sugars and high saturated fat.

Karuk diets altered mostly caused by the culture evolution. There was a genocide and forced assimilation as well, historically. While in the present day, there is destruction of native food sources that creates lack of access for the traditional foods. There is a climate change’s role with the traditional food too as it is leading the edge of colonialism through further environmental decline threats to political sovereignty, health, and culture.

In solution to all those issues, currently Norgaard is on another project for ecological condition restoration and climate vulnerability assessment.

Halsey of 20 years old, is a new up and coming pop artist. What started out as a meaningless songwriting major in college has turned her into a new age Alanis Morrissette.

She says “I always say I’m a singer out of necessity because I can’t imagine anyone singing my songs but myself.” Her music is influenced by legends like Nirvana, giving her an “angry female pop record.”

Her music will catch you off guard. It is deep and poetic. She puts forth so much of herself into it. You almost feel as if she is a book and all the deep emotions within her are filling the pages.

She recently just dropped a new album this August called “Badlands.” This artist is only getting started, she signed her first recording contract with Astralwerks early last year. She is also the most mentioned artist at this year’s SXSW. This all stemmed from a parody of “I Knew You Were Trouble” by Taylor swift. She is a cure for the “thirst for discovery for pop music fans, it’s the latest singer you’d be a fool to ignore”. She has already done more than most could ever dream of in only a year.

She is currently on her first tour as well. If you would like to check her out, her closest stops are Seattle, Nov. 12 and Portland Nov. 14. Check out more of her music. I would

recommend starting out with “New Americana” or her other great hit “Empty Gold.”

On Tuesday last week, from 6:00-7:30 pm, an open event was hosted by LCSC’s International Program, Spanish Club, Native American Club, and Ambassador Honors Society in the William Conference Center on Campus. It was full of food from around the world, primarily from Latin America, Africa, and Asia, and even something that was Italian-American, aka pizza. There was music from all over the world being played on the speakers, and each dining table had a different item as its center piece, such as a small globe and what I believed to have been the symbol for the Kazakhstan capital. For those of

you who haven’t guessed what event this was by now, it was the Multicultural Week’s Food and Culture Night Potluck.

When you entered into the room, you could see all the different flags, each representing the different nations that students in the International Program called home. As the event officially started, the announcer spoke into the microphone telling everyone to dig in, and that there were no lines…no lines. We could go to which ever booth we wanted to and get whatever food we wanted. The feeling of going from booth to booth squeezing between people in order to try as much food as possible was really awkward, and, now that I look back, kind of resembles the

awkwardness that people often feel when they are foreigners traveling between countries.

All the booths were lined with food and, as expected, hungry people, each wanting to see and taste the cuisines that smelled and looked so inviting and delicious. There were cheese breads and a type of small pastry sweets from Brazil, fry bread from the Native American booth, a cuisine made with crab meat and shrimp (I think it was from Pakistan), and many different cuisines made with enjoyable rice, as well as all the other foods that I had missed or had been eaten up so fast because of how good they were.

Something that made it all even better was that, towards the end of the event, several of the

September 23, 2015 6.Arts & Entertainment videO game review

By Amanda Wallaceof The Pathfinder

Every year, there has been video game that has swiped across the world and almost everyone on social media talks about and in classes at school. First, it was Fright Night at Freddy’s that had almost everyone talking about it. There have been other games throughout the years, which have left video game lovers in awe at the graphics and at the technology, also making them fall in love with it. When Until Dawn came out I, for an example, thought it was an animated film that was going straight onto DVD and not into theatres. Although, I learned early on it was one of the newest video games that was released onto the PlayStation Four last month. Until Dawn had in fact, kicked off the video game rush that usually happens just in time before Christmas.

Until Dawn based around this group of friends who come

together in a log cabin on the anniversary of the disappearance of their two friends and spend the night. They are unaware that they are being hunted by a serial killer. Sounds like a typical horror movie mixed with SAW and Cabin in the Woods, which has the puzzles where you have to choose between life and death along with the power of being in fear. But do those decisions affect you and your game play? Not necessarily. Each decision, while trying to search for the answers, could make one of the other characters survive or it could lead to the end of the line of the said character. This game is interesting because it has that butterfly affect where with whatever choice you pick, you set your destiny.

In other words, it’s a game of chance allowing you to determine the outcome of the game. Think of it as a controlled variable during an experiment, and you have one outcome which you want. This has all of the characters survive

until dawn, even being hunted by a serial killer. But what happens when the controlled variable is out of your control at some point of the game? Do you pick this road and make another character live? Or do you pick that very, unknown road that might end the story of a beloved character that captured your heart?

One might say it’s like approaching a fork in the road when you’re driving. One might led you to victory but the other one…well let’s say that the curiosity killed the cat if you’re not careful. It’s all up to you on how you want to play the game. But you have to ask this question to yourself, are you ready to deal with the consequences of your actions?

Until Dawn is rated M for Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Sexual Themes and the use of Strong Language.

“Elizabeth is missing,” by Emma Healey.

Elizabeth is missing.Sukey used to wear Victory Red

lipstick. I remember when the mad woman chased me down the street with her umbrella flapping like a crazed bird.

Where would be the best place to plant summer squash?

Elizabeth is missing. Her friend Maud is sure of that, if only that. She can’t seem to remember anything anymore.

She can’t remember her age. She can’t remember the faces of her children and grandchildren. She can’t remember buying cans of peaches the day before and the day before that. She can’t even remember where she is in time, and whether she’s looking for her friend Elizabeth or her sister, Sukey, who disappeared shortly after World War II, back when Maud was a girl. She only know she’s searching for something. Something … but what was it? Elizabeth, that’s right. Elizabeth. Elizabeth is missing.

Emma Healy crafts a beautiful,

heart-rending narrative through the eyes of an old woman suffering from dementia. The plot shifts back and forth between present and past with Maud’s own mind as she tries to weave together the bits and pieces around her to discover the truth. The tale, set in Britain, is riddled with the local colloquialisms, but also scours universal themes and emotions, namely, loss. Loss of loved ones, of memory. Loss due to war, or age. Not a story for the faint of heart, but a thrilling and haunting read!

Shrek opens at the Civic Theater


Anyone who enjoyed the Shrek movies will definitely enjoy the stage adaptation, Shrek the Muscial, at the historic Lewiston Civic Theater. The show opened on Thursday, September 17th. The play follows Shrek (Austin Mason) on his quest to save his precious home in the swamp. Along he befriends Donkey (Ethan Smith) and is sent by Lord Farquaad (Michael Keene) to save Princess Fiona (Amanda LAST). Along the way, Shrek learns that he deserves happiness just as much as everyone else. He also befriends some other fairy tale characters, like Pinocchio, Gingy (a talking ginger bread cookie), and the Sugar Plum Fairy.

I got the chance to interview Austin Mason (Shrek), Ethan Smith (Donkey), and Amanda LAST (Fiona). Being in the green room talking with the cast members was a very interesting experience. There are over 50 volunteers helping put this production on, so the green room is always bustling with makeup artists, costume designers, lighting specialists, and the ensemble characters. Here is what the characters had to say.

Q:What has been the most challenging part of this production?

Mason: It’s a very vocally demanding show. It’s very high for a male. Behind the scenes, it has definitely been making the Shrek face. It’s taken weeks to make all of the prosthetics.

Smith: Besides the intense make up and set, and all of the crazy effects, for me, it’s been

playing such an iconic character that people are expecting so much out of. I want to stay true to the original donkey, but I want to put myself into it.

Amanda: Fiona, even within a song, she goes through so many emotions.

She’s happy, then she’s crazy, then she’s sad. So you have to circulate through all of those emotions in a short period of time.

Q:Why did you want to be involved in this production?

Amanda: Fiona is such a goofball. She’s a princess, but she’s not perfect. The show is so elaborate: the makeup, the costumes, and the set. It’s great

Smith: I’ve never been involved in a production of this caliber. I love what the music represents. It’s a powerful show, but it’s still goofy and fun.

Mason: I’ve been doing civic theater for about ten years, and theater is a huge passion of mine. The director, Larry Goodwin, and I have worked together a few times. I thought it would be a great opportunity. I’ve never had a lead before, so I’m happily surprised at how well being a lead is going.

Q:Why should people come to see Shrek?

Smith: It’s probably something you’ve never seen before in this valley. It takes you someplace else and it makes you forget about everything except what’s being presented on the stage.

Mason: Overall, it’s great for everyone in the family. There’s some hidden humor for the adults, which also makes it enjoyable for the adults.

Amanda: It’s so funny! There’s

The ninth annual Warrior Golf Classic was played on Friday, Sept. 18 at the Clarkston Golf & Country Club with the net proceeds benefiting student scholarships and programs at Lewis-Clark State College. The event was presented in conjunction with the Warrior Athletic Association and the Business Students Organization.

This year, the entry fee was $100 per person ($75 for LCSC students) which included: Green fees, tee prize, luncheon & BBQ, two beverage tickets, two mulligans, and two raffle tickets.

The registration/lunch started at 11 a.m. with the shotgun start beginning at 12 p.m. The four-person teams played through the 18-hole course in a scramble-format tournament to win money and prizes donated by businesses from around the LC valley.

All participants tried their hand for the elusive hole-in-one, also called an eagle; the incentive: roughly $10,000. While none were victorious, some made a close birdie to get them closer to becoming first place winners.

The event ended with a BBQ dinner where winners were announced and one lucky person walked away with a large prize.

Inland Cellular and P1FCU have been major sponsors since the beginning, and among other things, provided door bags for all the players. Other sponsors include: Sodexo, Clearwater Casino & Lodge, Happy Day Restaurants, St. Joseph Regional Medical Center, the Nesset Bodman Group, and many others.

Lewis-Clark State CollegePress Release

For the second time in as many years, Lewis-Clark State College has been named an Orchid Award recipient for the category of Excellence in Historic Preservation & Contribution to Historic Preservation. The award was presented to LCSC administrators at the 2015 Lewiston Orchid Awards Celebration & Tour Event on Saturday in downtown Lewiston.

The award is given by the Historic Preservation Commission of the City of Lewiston and honors those whose projects and ongoing commitments have added to, protected, and preserved the community’s historic resources. Lewis-Clark State College was selected for its recent renovation of the Silverthorne Theatre.

Accepting the award on behalf of the college, Vice President for Finance and Administration Chet Herbst expressed appreciation to the project’s architect team, contractors, and LCSC’s Physical

Plant Director Matt Graves and staff who carried out the project. He also thanked LCSC’s students and the state’s policy makers who provided the funding to make the vision a reality.

Built in 1924, the Silverthorne Theatre, named after Carolyn Silverthorne who taught theater at the college in the 1920s through the 1950s, is held as one of the architectural highlights within LCSC’s Administration Building.

The renovation, which cost around $1.3 million, featured many upgrades including new windows, lighting, a main stage, a balcony area, seating, and major improvements to the green room and workshop/storage areas. In addition, an outside entrance was added to the west side of the theater to comply with Americans with Disabilities Act access guidelines.

LCSC was also honored with an Orchid Award in 2014 for its renovation of Thomas Jefferson Hall, a building dating back to 1912.

International students had gotten up on stage to dance the great, the infamous, Gangnam Style. Although I was unable to stay for the last twenty minutes of the event, it was a great event through and through.

Lasting less than two hours, this single event, through the hard work and cooking skills of everyone involved, was able to be revealed as, in my own

opinion, on the great gems of this year’s annual Multicultural Week. For my first time experiencing this, I am happy to say that I cannot wait for what might be in store for next year’s Multicultural Week. As for all you suckers who decided to eat at the SUB while this was going on, you have my condolences for having missed such a great, delicious, and FREE meal.

PATHFINDER.NEWSPAPER.9

By Taylor Marshallof The Pathfinder

Another week in the NFL has come and gone and the storylines are plentiful. We have undefeated teams, teams that have yet to win a game, and up and comers trying to claw their way to a space at the dinner table of elite teams.

New England, Arizona, Green Bay, Cincinnati, Denver, Dallas, Atlanta and Carolina are all 2-0 with two solid wins under their belts.

Denver and Carolina have to be the most surprising teams in this group. Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning looks old, lacking zip on his throws and hobbling around back there like an old war vet. The Denver defense has stepped up twice leading the Broncos to victories, last week picking up a fumble and scoring in the closing seconds to win the game.

Carolina played two of the weaker teams in the league Jacksonville and Houston

winning by 11 and 7 points respectively. The panthers are going to have to win more games before we start giving them too much credit.

New England and Green Bay are the two on this list that we expected. They’re both tough physical teams with solid defenses and plenty of offensive weapons. Oh, and they have Tom Brady (Patriots) and Aaron Rodgers (Packers) playing for them, the two best quarterbacks in the league.

Arizona and Atlanta are both very good football teams and should be playoff teams when this year is all said and done.

For the Dallas Cowboys being undefeated after two games feels bittersweet. Dez Bryant and Tony Romo, the team’s best two players, sustained injuries that will keep them out for long periods of time. Romo has a broken clavicle and Bryant broke a bone in his foot. The Cowboys are not going to win consistently without these two so they better hope their stars return sooner

rather than later. On the other end of the

spectrum we have a whole slew of teams that are winless at 0-2 who should not be winless at this point. Seattle, Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, Detroit, New Orleans, Houston and Baltimore all have yet to win.

The biggest surprises here are Seattle, Baltimore, and Philadelphia. All three teams were hoping to be solid clubs this year and get off to good starts, which did not happen. Seattle lost to St. Louis week 1 and then played a tough Packers squad week 2 losing both games by close margins. Seattle is a great team that should rebound, but the team is not as daunting without Kam Chancellor their all-star safety.

Philadelphia is also surprising. Head coach Chip Kelly made a myriad of moves this off-season trading and cutting and signing players, his team went through a major makeover. And so far the moves have not worked. His offensive line cannot block anyone, Demarco Murray hasn’t done anything for the team on the ground and it really doesn’t seem like Sam Bradford is the answer at quarterback.

Two games is hardly enough time to start freaking out one way or the other. Two games does not a season make. But getting off to a good start is huge in this league. You gain confidence when you win and the questions start mounting when you lose. The teams that are 2-0 will look to build on their recent success and those who are 0-2 will hope to get a big win next week.

Despite not running in over a week, the Lewis-Clark State College cross country teams both remained in the top 10 of the NAIA Coaches’ Top 25 polls when the first regular-season editions were release Wednesday by the national office. The Warrior women rank sixth while the men are seventh.

The LCSC women, who were ranked third when the preseason poll was released late last month, received 403 points in the latest installment of the poll, the second Frontier Conference school ranked, coming in behind Carroll (Mont.) who is third. The Warriors, who made an impressive season debut at the WSU Invitational (Sept. 1), have been ranked in the Top 25 for 136-consecutive appearances which is the longest active streak in the NAIA.

Defending national champion British Columbia took over the

top spot, garnering 494 points and 15-of-18 first-place votes. Northwest Christian (Ore.) slipped one spot to No. 2 with 484 votes and the remaining three first-place votes.

The Warrior men retained their preseason ranking, collecting 412 total points. Like the women, the men are the second FC team ranked, coming in four spots behind Carroll (Mont.). LCSC looked impressive at the WSU Invitational as well, led event winner, Sam Atkin.

Southern Oregon remained atop the poll with 493 points and 12-of-18 first-place votes with the two-time defending national champions, Oklahoma City, claims the second spot with 465 points and the six remaining first-place votes.

After last competing on Sept. 1, the Warriors return to action on Saturday, when they race in the Erik Anderson Invitational at Plantes Ferry Sports Stadium in Spokane, Washington.

The Lewis-Clark State College women’s tennis team opened up their 2015-16 season at the 2015 Cougar Classic hosted by Washington State over the weekend.

The classic paired individuals against each other in a bracket format, featuring NCAA Division I programs, Gonzaga, Montana, Montana State and WSU. The Warriors were the only non-NCAA I program at the

Warriors Head Coach Kai Fong was impressed with the team’s effort. “Despite having fewer teams participating this year, the opportunity to have the players in action this early against formidable opponents is invaluable. Most of the Warriors got to play four doubles and three singles matches. The newbies got to see the level of competition we will face during the spring season while the returners behaved like

they belong and came away with some wins.”

Women’s Tennis opens season at Cougar Classic


The Lewis-Clark State College volleyball team opened Frontier Conference play with an impressive 3-1 victory over Montana State University Northern on Thursday night.

The Warriors (8-6, 1-0) dropped the opening set to the Skylights (8-9, 0-1), 23-25, but found an offensive rhythm and bounced back with three consecutive wins, 25-21, 25-15, 25-20.

Lewis-Clark State hit .252, tallying 60 assists, 61 digs and six blocks while limiting MSU-Northern to a .132 attack percentage and five reception errors.

“The offense played really well tonight,” said LC Head Coach LaToya Harris-Alexander. “We struggled a bit in the first set, but we were able to turn it around and had a good night.”

In the first game, the difference was at the net as the home team hit .103 (10-6-39) while LCSC was held a .083 (12-9-36) mark. The Skylights jumped out to an early 4-1 lead and remained in front until a Kennadie Clute kill put the Red and Blue in front, 9-8. The two teams traded the lead, neither going up by more than three points, until MSUN scored

three of the final four points for the win.

It was a much different second set as the Warriors jumped all over the home team, scoring 10 of the first 13 points, getting four kills from Clute and a pair from JaLisa Jose. LC State never trailed, tying just twice in a 25-21 second set win to tie the match.

In the third set the Warriors completely dominated, hitting .500 (19-4-30) and limiting MSU-Northern to just seven kills. LCSC never trailed in the match and, after a 6-6 tie, outscored their opponent 19-9. The Skylights got to within three, 16-13, but the Warriors scored seven consecutive points, getting four kills from Stephanie Ovitz and two from Clute, to seal the victory.

It was a bleak start to the fourth for LCSC as the home team scored six of the first second points. Trailing 9-3, the Warriors got a pair of kills from Treneisha Doyle and one each from Ovitz and Clute to cut the deficit to two. A Robyn Schirmer ace tied the score at 11 and Clute put LC in front for the first time in the game with a kill to make it 14-13. The Skylights took back the lead, but a Clute kill tied the score at 16 and the Warriors outscored MSUN 9-4 to close out the match.

Clute led the team with 15 kills with Jose adding 14 while Doyle finished with 13 and Ovitz tallied 12. The latter also led the team with a .476 (12-2-21) hitting percentage. Schirmer led the team with a season-high 45 assists while Amber Hillestad added 10.

“Our middles played really well tonight. Stephanie and JaLisa looked really good up front and are showing why we recruited them,” said Harris-Alexander.

Doyle led the squad with 20 digs with Russia Robinson adding 19. At the net, Kiendra Chester, Aly Sauer, Doyle, Jose and Clute each tallied solo blocks.

“This was out strongest blocking game all season,” said Harris-Alexander. “We may not have gotten the block down for points, but we covered well. Our defense was strong overall, but our serve receive kept them in the game. We need to be more consistent in our passes, especially on Saturday. We are in for a battle this weekend and the team that controls the serve receive the best will ultimately win the match. They are a good team and we are excited.”

The Warriors have one day to rest before facing 23rd-ranked Montana Tech in Butte, Montana at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 19.

Warriors turn out the lights in conference opener


The Lewis-Clark State College tennis teams played in a fall dual for the first time ever, renewing an old rivalry with the 2014 Canadian National Collegiate Champions, University of Alberta on Friday and Saturday.

The weekend series with the Pandas (women) and Golden

Bears (men) produced mixed results for Warriors. The LCSC men took care of the Golden Bears, 5-4 and 6-3, Friday and Saturday while the women lost both days by the exact margin.

It was an intense weekend of tennis; with the Alberta Pandas getting their first ever win over the Warriors with several hotly contested matches.

“The doubles and singles were

closely contested all throughout the lineup,” said Warriors Head Coach Kai Fong. “As a coach, that’s what you want to see in your players. This was such an incredible series for us. The newcomers got a strong taste of a dual match atmosphere in September, instead of having to wait until January. Each one that competed also recorded a win so that was a bonus.”
