Cards take Spokane trip to feel the Bern Katie Hartwig Staff Writer
Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders took his political campaign to the Pacific
Northwest on March 20. Taking his platform to the Spokane Convention, there was an estimate of around 10,000 people that eagerly waited in a line that looped around the freeway.
The main room of the convention center was full along with other overflow rooms set inside the center. Along with the main room and overflow rooms were the thousands who waited outside in the rain. Although Sanders is trailing former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the delegate count, he was eager to speak to the huge audience. He took time to speak to the crowd outside in length about his policy and what he planned to do if he was President of the United States. He spoke about his vision for the future of the people and was firm on making change and bringing equa1 rights to everyone. Sanders then made his way to the main stage of the convention center where the crowd began to chant "Bernie, Bernie, Bernie!" The room was full of cheers as
well some tears of those who were witnessing history. There were a number of college age supporters, many from NIC. Sergey Grankin of Coeur D'Alene told me that he believed Bernie Sanders was the best and ONLY choice for our future president. He went on to tell me that Bernie has the passion, the experience and strong will to make this politicaJ revolution happen. Sergey believes people lined up by the thousands outside because they too believe in change and believe we can do better as a country than the status quo. "I've truly never seen anything like it, it was incredible," Grankin said. Not only did students feel the Bern, but local political activists did as well. Johnathan Shuffield works for Outspoken, deaJing with equa1ity issues and LGBT rights in the Spokane area. "In the current political environment in this country we have two sides who adamantly refuse to work for the good of the people to the point of government shut downs and refusal

"We cannot afford to move along as we always have, BIG CHANGE is needed and Bernie Sanders is

the only candidate offering that change to government He wants to bring the government back to the people. If we want to change the world we have to shoot for the stars, anything Jess is futile" Many audience members heard talking amongst each other reiterated the fact that big change was needed and
that Bernie was capable of getting there. No matter each audience members personal views, it was undoubtable that Sanders has an extreme passion and care for people, shaking their hands and speaking to them in the rain. For those waiting out in the cold, the Bern kept them warm.

Walk for autism, walk for awareness Rachel Sieradzki
Staff Writer Autism has been a limitation for Chase Chambers, 21, NIC history major, who was diagnosed with it as a child. He want· ed to serve his country in the Marines but could not enlist because of his autism. "Because of my lack of social communication I might not be able to pay attention to orders from my commanding officer," Chambers said. "I wouldn't be able
-
to pass boot camp." Instead, he expresses his passion by being active in the NIC Veterans Club. Autism remains a prevalent issue in 2016. People like Chambers are not alone. One in 68 children in the United States have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders, according to a report by the CDC released on March 31.

Idaho Democrats meet for caucus

Rachel Sieradzki Staff Writer
Voter turnout was huge in Kootenai County on March 22. '"There is a cliche in Idaho that when you meet another Democrat you say, 'Oh, I thought I was the only one!" Chair of the Kootenai County Democrats Paula Neils said from the stage. "Now I want to throw that in the
trash where it belongs. I want everyone to look around this room and notice that it is full of Democrats!" At this, a cheer erupted from the crowd with some support·
ers chanting "FEEL THE BERN! FEEL THE BERN! FEEL THE BERN!" Many Idaho voters, including
a strong representation of NIC students, "felt the bern" on Ida-
ho's Super Tuesday. Bernie Sanders won by a land· slide in the Kootenai Democratic Caucus held jointly at Boswell Hall at NIC and at the Kootenai County Fairgrounds. "It seems like the baby boomers are half and half Hillary and Bernie," Erika Hawkins, 29, said. "I think if the young people vote strong, Bernie wins. If they don't, Hillary wins." In a final count of all votes cast in both locations, Sanders received 78 percent of the vote and Clinton received 21 percent The crowded and noisy Schuler Performing Arts Auditorium in Boswell Hall was packed with vot· ers. Loud cheers, hoots and whistles, as well as applause, came from the crowd. It was a highly charged atmosphere of anticipation and excitement "I've been looking forward to this, to being with a lot of like minded people," said NIC theater student Patric Schwaab, 22. People of all ages were present The voters ranged from young millennials to people in
their 60s and older. Many voters even brought their small children along to the caucus, some with Bernie or Hillary stickers stuck on their littJe T-shirts. Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) regulations were foJ. lowed to accommodate for all voters' needs. Several people in wheelchairs were there, and space in the auditorium was set aside for them. An American Sign language (ASL) interpreter was called up to sign for a deaf audi· ence member. Many voters in this caucus had just registered to vote for the firsttime. "'This is my first caucus and I'm so embarrassed. I should have been here years ago," Linda Scahofield, 66, said. When voters entered the auditorium, they were instructed to sit on the side of the candidate they were supporting. Signs indicated that Sanders supporters should sit on the left side and Clinton supporters should sit on the right. As the room became more
crowded, caucus organizers told Sanders supporters to scooch over, move in and get closer. There were far fewer Clinton supporters than Sanders support· ers, and it was so crowded all the seats in the auditorium needed to be taken up. At 6 p.m. doors to Boswell Hall closed and no more people were let in to vote. After this point, all those who had preregistered were directed towards the Fairgrounds to join the overflow group. Neils, also chair of the caucus event, then allowed three Dem<r cratic candidates for local office, Tom Hearn, Kathy Kahn and Kristi Milan, to take a moment to give speeches. In the end, Sanders earned 17 local delegates to the June 1~19 state convention in Boise while Clinton earned five. The Idaho Democratic Party will send 23 delegates and two alternates to the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia July 2~29 to nominate the Democratic candi· date for president.

EDITORIAL
Practicing truth Honesty is the best policy. Right? Being honest about who ate the last brownie and being honest about which sibling took the car out for a spin at midnight are just a few examples of situations where the honest answer is the best answer. Not only do we need to practice honesty in our personal lives but our lives at school as well. It's important to be honest in the academic sphere because a person's education and learning depends on it. Academic dishonesty come in the form of cheating and plagiarizing and not giving credit where credit is due. If you cheat or plagiarize in school it can lead from anything to an "F" on the project to being expelled from school. Cheating to get a good grade on a test or plagiarizing to write a good essay, does nothing to help you in your pursuit of knowledge. Instead it does everything to help destroy your academic career and your conscience with it. Although dishonesty is a dangerous fire to play with, honesty is hard to carry out in the academic world. Choosing to be dishonest at school creates negative situations with both your peers and your teachers. Studying and writing essays the long way may can be grueling, but it will be more fulfilling when you receive a good grade you know you've earned. Dishonesty creates guilt and a heavy conscious-we all know the feeling. Dishonesty can ruin relationships, trust, and credibility-and if you're dishonest academically, you might be tempted to become dishonest in other areas of your life. Sometimes you won't receive a grade you want to see, but this is still better than the alternative of cheating to get your way out. Essentially, we as students should focus more on learning than earning good grades. When good grades are viewed more highly than actual learning, it is easier to cheat and be dishonest in order to get that good grade. But in the grand scheme of life, knowledge you can take with you in the future is better than a letter you got on a piece of paper. When a person is honest in their education, they are more likely to be honest in other areas of their lives. Especially the most important area of life-building and maintaining relationships. Relationships are founded on trust, and dishonesty breaks this relationship building block. No one wants to associate with someone who lies - it makes them hard to believe or even be around. When a person starts to be dishonest in their schoolwork, it can spread to everywhere else in their life. Dishonesty can be a disease that spreads through every aspect of your life if you don't stop it.

IJrrn~ll 'l'O 'l'DE El)l'l'()ll: by Alex Knox
Imagine yourself walking through a corridor or through the SUB; you find yourself being talked about, you hear degrading slurs being thrown out at you, maybe your shoved out of someone's way. This may not happen at North Idaho College on a daily, or even monthly basis, but this is a daily reality for say public high schools. This is especially true for a specific group of students, those that identify as LGBTQ+, or even are labeled as LGBTQ+ though they may not
be. I, personally, have experienced this in high school and on the street of Coeur d'Alene. I can't tell you a number of how many instances this has happened because it's been so many; the phrase 'if I had a quarter for every time ... ' comes to mind. Last year I wrote an article on LGBTQ+ discrimination and bullying in public schools from my personal point-of-view, because as a young, gay man I am faced with a reality that I can almost guarantee that I will hear f*g at ]east once a week. Obviously, bullying the people who are different from you is wrong; yes we all ]earned about this in grade school. But people tend to forget that this also includes people of a different sexual orientation or gender identity. LGBTQ+ bullying destroys a child from the inside out Because I identify as "gay" I got bullied· people didn't care if I was friendly, or a kind-hearted person, because I like the same-sex it somehow makes me unhuman, and undeserving of the same common curtesy as anyone else. Let this article be a wakeup call for those of you who may see a LGBTQ+ person, or someone different from yourself and make jokes about them. About 282,000 students are reportedly attacked in high schools throughout the nation each month, most of them being LGBTQ+ or identified incorrectly as LGBTQ+. Teens reported that one of the main reasons they are being bullied is because of their actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender expression, and it's not surprising that the group with the highest suicide rate among youth are those that are LGBTQ+. Let me ask the question, why is it that, as a culture, we are more comfortable seeing two men holding guns than holding hands? LGBT students get bulJied all the time but go unnoticed because school administrations refuse to accept that it even happens or is a problem. Society also believes that it is ok to discriminate against LGBTQ+ people, as evidenced by state legislatures passing anti-LGBT laws. Eighty~ne percent of LGBT students were verbally harassed because of their sexual orientation in 2014, and 38.3 percent were physically harassed because of sexual orientation. Nine out of 10 LGBT sbJdents have experienced harassment at school. LGBT sbJdents are five times more likely to be bullied compared to straight students. More than 1/3 of LGBT students have attempted suicide. These figures are sad, and show a society that does not care about the Jives of these human beings. I dream of a world with acceptance and love, a society that stands up for everyone and doesn't use their religion to put someone down or deny them a right or service. The GI.SEN Day of Silence is April 15th, I'd encourage my friends and peers at public educational institutions to participate in this silent protest Go to www.glsen.org to find out more about this day, but it is to stand in solidarity with those LGBTQ+ students that are bullied and harassed and feel alone. For those that are too afraid to come out for reasons of fear or retaliation from peers, friends, their family and society. Even if you aren't LGBT, I'd like to ask you to be an Ally and participate in this demonstration. let's stop bullying and discrimination in Coeur d' AJene and make sure it never happens at North Idaho College. Show our community that North Idaho College does not put up with discrimination and that acceptance is something we believe in. Stand up for me and others like me; humans.

Since April is Autism Awareness month, the book selected for this book review has an autism-related theme: "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Tune," a novel by British author Marl< Haddon. Fifteen year old Christopher Boone, first-person narrator of"The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Tune," descnbes himself in the text as "a mathematician with some behavioral difficulties." According to the book's blurb put out by the publisher, however, Christopher has Asperger's Syndrome or highfunctioning autism, although Haddon never clearly states the characteI's diagnosis in the book. The story begins when Christopher finds his neighbor's dog, dead on his front lawn, and concludes that it was killed. His first forays into a murder investigation lead to some intriguing discoveries that call into question everything he knows about his past his home, and his relationship with his

The book interested me partly be, cause I am on the autism spectrum, so going into the reading experience I was wondering how accurate1y autism
would be portrayed. There are other novels that fail to portray autism spectrum disorders with accuracy. But I was pleased with this book's take on the
issue. If you don't know much about autism, 'The Cwious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Tune" will take you on a journey through the eyes of a kid
who has it 1bis is a kid who is overwhehned by crowds and loud noises, who doesn't know how to behave in many social situations, who has a dif. ficult time managing his emotions, and who has a strained family life because of his disorder. This is also a kid with mathematical genius and quirky personality. I especially enjoyed the part in the middle when Christopher is on the subway platform and he is overwhelmed by the sensory stimulation of people rushing by, and the sound of trains coming and going, and all the bright lights flashing on and ofi There's a visual graphic in the middle of the page of what he's seeing, which blw-s and distorts to show his confusion and anxiety. This shows readers an actual, literal glimpse into how people with autism experience the world. "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Tune" was published in 2003 and has since won several book awards. The book was recently adapted into a play, which is currently running on Broadway and has received a 2015 Tony award. It's a short book and most people could probably read it pretty quicldy I would reconunend it for anyone, and if you like it definitely do some more reading on Autism. Check out a website called tonyaUwood.oom.au. Attwood is an expert on the autism spectrum, and
it's an informative site. This April, it's important to be aware of autism and how it affects many people's lives.
Adressing religious discrimination
~
Ever since I moved to North Idaho last year, I've been feeling very keenly the statistic that only 0.02% of the world's
population is Jewish. That might be very similar to the Jewish population in Coeur d'Alene. I mean, what did I expect when I moved here, a bagels and lox welcoming committee? No. AJI I wanted was a group of other Jews. Some tolerance. A lack of ignorance. Here, very few people know anything about my people. Let me help you out with that Judaism is a constantly evolving religion connected irrevocably with the traditions from two thousand years ago. It has also evolved over time, blending the cultures of all the places Jews have lived
over the centuries so that our current cuJture is steeped in our viOrant history. To the oft-asked question: Is Judaism a religion or a culture? In answer, I would go beyond those limits. I would say Judaism is a people, and my Jewish identity encompasses all of its many fucets. We Jews are a minority, and it saddens me to see Jews who lose their
Jewish identity by failing to connect with it, through lack of either religious observance, rul1ura1 celebration, or social action. It saddens me when we, already a tiny minority in this global comrmmity, grow even smaller in nwnber.
I can't speak for places with larger Jewish populations, such as IsraeL New York and for that matter most big cities in the US. Those cities have Jewish communities where such ignorance would never be allowed to flowish. But I know what I've seen here in Coeur d'Alene. I
know what I've experienced. I don't think it's okay for people to relate Judaism to Christianity as if that is all it is. That kind of thinking reduces my religion down to just the origins of another religion. So I understand that some people find solace in the idea that Christianity has its roots in Judaism Personally, I find that attitude mildly ag, gravating.
Judaism is much more than the roots of someone else's tradition. Judaism is not simply the fllther of Christianity. Judaism is a thing unto itself. Not everyone is like me, butfm pretty open about my beliefs. When I meet
people, rm not afraid to tell them rm Jewish. That often leads to an interesting, passionate discussion of interfaith
relations and philosophy. I actually enjoy having these dialogues, as long as it doesn't lead to the other person trying to convert me to Christianity, which sometimes happens. As I continue to have more and more of these disrussions, I am noticing some things about the local community. The Christians with whom I debate about religion are more than happy to discuss
Judaism with me for reasons that pro!> ably make sense to them, but are really irritating to me. Christians often want to remind me that Jesus had been a Jew and since rm Jewish too maybe I should find that similarity significant? Shouldn't I care about Jesus since we had something in common? In short. these ~ple do not fu11y understand that Jews do not recogniz.e
Jesus as a relevant part of our religion. (An important caveat on that JX1int. for any Christians reading thi~ the Jewish people do recognireJesus the man. However, we do not think that he rose from the dead in order to save us. So we do not believe in Jesus Christ, but we do believe in the historical existence
ofJesus ofNazareth. You may already know this, but it was worth mentioning.)
Another thing: rm sick and tired of Christians suggesting that their view is the only right view and I should agree with it That's not to say that every Christian in Idaho has expressed this view. I've come into contact with ita Jot though. "You don't believe in Jesus? Why not?"That sincerely doesn't make sense to some people. I see it as a woefully rigid mindset Not everybody is like~ though.
I have friends who are Cluistians, who don't even talk about it with me. And I've run into plenty of Christians who are just as set in their beliefs as I am in mine, but who sincerely want to learn about my Jewish ideas with an open heart and an intellectual mindset These people don't ask me to change my viewpoint, which I appreciate. They simply want to hear what I have to say. As for the subject of Judeo-Christians: For aJew to be Christian at the same time is basic betrayal of the Jewish people (and perhaps betrayal of Christianity as well). It also doesn't make sense to me how you could pull that off without lying to yourself all the time. You just can't be both; the two ideologies don't naturally exist simultaneously. I have so much to say about this, but that's a rant for another day. I don1wantto be the North Idaho spokesjew for my entire people, but that's what it's been coming to. I could probably tell you a lot more about Judaism. but rm definitely not an expert lJe. spite my years ofHcbrew Schooi I definitely don't know everything, because there is so much to know. I'm just a Jewish girl living in Idaho, trying to practice despite the absence of a synagogue and the presence of plenty of churches. Most people have no idea how hard that is. If you have any questions, ask the rabbi, he's on www.jewfaq.org. Or if you see me arowid campus, come talk to me!

Deaf comedian brings lots of laughs Jack Harris Staff Writer

John Maucere is one of the world's most popular deaf entertainers. He starred in his own movie, SuperDeafj,: No Ordinary Hero, and he even appeared on Law and Order. And the weekend of April 1st and 2nd, he came to NIC. His first appearance was at an American Sign Language workshop that was not voice interpreted. He walked in without event, said his hellos, and took his place at the front of the room. Then for a full hour longer than he was scheduled, he showed his mastery of the language and shared it with the rest of us. His second appearance was at Deaf Coffee Night, a weekly event at Java. Speaking through an ASL interpreter, Maucere expressed what he though about the deaf community in North Idaho. He told how much he liked Idaho and the small, but tightly-knit, community here. And he talked wabout how NIC's ASL students actually learn how deaf culture works and understand the deaf struggle. Maucere ended the night by presenting a birthday cake to the head of NIC's sign language department, Jacalyn Marosi. He led the room in signing Happy Birthday. Maucere's biggest shows were both on Saturday. His first was a performance by "SuperDeafy," his children's superhero character who pairs goofs and gaffs with an inspiring message for both deaf and hearing children. Maucere introduced himself out of character first, and told lots of funny stories about being deaf for the kids and adults in the audience. After a short break, he quickly changed and appeared as SuperDeafy, and the kids loved iL He brought all the kids up on stage. "I am proud of myself," he signed. "Come on, do it with me." He signs with each individual kid. "I am proud of myself." Later that night, Maucere appearred as himself for the main event- a standup comedy routine. Unlike some comedians, his stand-up cannot be found on YouTube or Netflix - he prefers to keep it special. "I make fun of hearing people. I even make fun of myself. I might even make fun of you!" Maucere said. Attendance was lower than expected, and Saturday's events were moved upstairs in the SUB. But despite the small crowd, energy was high the entire weekend and it wasn't hard to see that John loved being here, and the NIC Signers Club was happy to enrich our local deaf community.

NIC dass hosts carnival at Boys & Gir1s Club Michelle Mills Feahlre Editor
Something special was going on. Children swarmed the Boys & Girls Club center in Post Falls. Their jubilant voices chattered a constant stream . One room hosted crafts, most of which sparkled and left glittery evidence. Another room presented a scene of peculiar activities such as skittles being scooted from one paper plate to another with a straw held in the children's mouth and rows of water bottles being knocked over by children with balls held in the end of what appeared to be a long elastic sock-like tube attached to their heads. The event was a Cardinal Carnival. The hosts were the NIC small group communication class students, and their enthusiastic participants were the children at the Boys & Girls Club in Post Falls. Even our own mascot, Cecil the Cardinal showed up for the event on Friday, April 8. Tracy Struble, NIC communication instructor, required her students to plan, organize and put on the event as a class requirement. Students began planning for the event at the beginning of the semester. "Seeing them [the children) having fun is rewarding," said Scout Anatricia, 18, communications major. Anatricia helped with the organization of the event and was outside helping with the bean bag toss. One of the lessons the class learned about planning the event is that not everything goes to plan. "We tried to make it all structured, but it turned out to be more of a free-for-all," Anatricia said. The weather for the Cardinal Carnival was much nicer than expected, so the class decided to move many of the activities outdoors instead of the gym.
Jake Kraut, 21, a business and communications major and also on the NIC soccer team lead out a group of kids in a game of soccer. "My favorite part is seeing all the smiles on the kids' faces and just letting them have fun," Kraut said. "They've taken ownership of the project and really taken over," said Missy Gill, the volunteer coordinator at the Boys & Girls Club. "Having new faces and bringing in Cecil was really exciting for the kids." Many of the sparkling crafts were made just for Cecil by the boys and girls. "I've just been hanging out with Cecil," said Rebecca Demuth, 8, a member of the Boys & Girls Club. "I like crafts a lot and made a little thing for Cecil, but right now he's resting." In the meantime, she ran out to play the Nerf gun challenge . "Now they [NIC students] can say they have accomplished working as a team in the community," said Struble. The small group communications class and the Boys & Girls Club are both hoping that this is only the first Cardinal Carnival, and wish to make it an annual event from now on. "I think it's great," said Gill. "We love developing partnerships with NIC and other community organizations to benefit the kids."

played more defensively. In the second game, the Cardinals were finally able to put on a show and make their way on the scoreboard with a boost from coach Don Don Williams. Wi11iams encouraged the team to start playing smarter, as there were some errors and runs scored by the other team that could have been avoided. The teams were back and forth in the fight for the scoreboard until the very end of the second game. By the fifth inning, Spokane was ahead 3-1. NIC freshman Jamie Yurich
brought in a homerun, immediately followed by freshman Abby Howard, bringing the score to 4-3. By the seventh inning, Spokane brought in another few runs malting it a 4-6 game.

There is not enough time for a tempo run - a longer 20 minute run at a fast pace· to make much of an effect on race day. However there are a lot of hills in Bloomsday and training to run hills is relatively easy. "What you want to do is find a smaller hill that will take you thirty seconds or less to climb at 90 percent of your maximum pace," Watkins said. "And do six to eight reps running at 90 percent of your maximum speed up the hill and a slow steady jog or fast walk on the way down." Besides running hills you can get in a longer slower run at a pace you can keep a con· versation at Run at that pace for one hour just so you can get used to running at a constant pace.

Also as part of the intervals training after you do the run at a faster pace slow down to a slow jog or a fast walk for about five minutes. End with controlled sprints, again at about 90 l?ercent speed. Since it is mtervals, don't do a race paced run followed by a slow walk just once but do it three to four times, and at the end of your third or fourth run do four to five controte:
