Student builders break new ground

by Craig Bruce

A large sign heralds the future home of O:aildren's Village in north Coeur d'Alene.

A closer inspection of the site reveals a basement foundation set among lhe pine trees. This is the sire of the Nonh Idaho CoUcge carpentry program's project for 1988-89.

The project is special t1us year in that the carpentry clas.s usuaJly builds private r~idcoccs, according to instructor Walt Carlson. Carlson said last year's project

New library plans unveiled by trustees

by Robbie Klenholz Plans ror a new library and SS0,000 worth or Spectra compu1en wen two of the hiahli&hl5 from Thursday ni&ht',

board or trustees 111tttina.

Mike Patano of An:hit«u Wcst offered a proposal and a detailed sketch ror a new library and computer center.

The new, library ,o,ould occupy the pad,.ina area aaou from the Commurucatioo Arts Buildina, and II would house both computer labs and the current library's materials, Patano uid.

The bwldms 11,ould be m architecturaJ accordance '"1th the Commwiication Ans Building, Yo1th briCU OD the CX· tenor. The rooflinc ,., ou.ld correspond with that or the Fon Shmna.n Office Building, according 10 the drawing presented 10 the boa.rd.

Another nwn nem ~ the d.ouauoa b> He11olctt Packard of 11 Spectra computers 10 SIC. The \alueofthesecomputers, according to StC\e Schenk, dean of college rtlations, nearly reaches the

a:ift

\-a.Jue limit of SS0,000. These machines 1aoould be a great help, Schenk said.

Other topics included scruor at= 1u1uon fees and the election of new officen ror the board.

In 1982 a policy wa.s drawn up to redlll% fees for seniors, but was ne,;cr enacted. President Robert Bennett presented the ftrst reading of the Scmor -----Plc&sc -« TRUSTEE pasc 2

The building currently under consirucuon will be the first or six 10 be erected on a 10-acre parcel near Hanley Avenue and Ramsey Rood.

Carol Rank.in, Children's Village board member, said 1ha1 lhe other homes and an administration building will be grouped on n cul-,de-sac, with the remaining acreage left open.

"Children's Village will provide an alternative to foster care in lh:11 abused or neglected children can live in a group atmosphere without being moved from foster home 10 foster home," Rankin said. "We also bus children 10 the same school they went to before they came 10 Children's Villaje. This way, kids don't have to lca\·e their school and their friends."

Rankin also said that Children's Village will provide counseling and care 10 children who don't get along with their families and don't wish to live at home.

"Our goal is 10 reunite these kids with their families," Rankin said.

The advantages or having NIC students build the home are twofold: the s1udcnts gain valuable work experience and Children's Village saves thousands of dollars.

Complcuon of the ftrst holdC is scheduled for sprins, but Carlson was rcluc:tanl to put II date on it.

"It 'sa bag house. over 6,000 square feel, and it ..;u have a hip roof and overhang.

I've got a good groupof Sllldents, aod~11 have a lot of work to do."

Work should continue over the winter. and those wishins to view the proSICSS can dri\·e by the site on Hanley Avenue .

Historical sites add nostalgia to campus

by Monica Kiddle

Several historical sites at NIC are auraains an increasing number of visitors, yet many s!u~cnLS may not recosnizc the significance of these bu1lding.s. . .

On campus sWJds some of the oldcs! survivmg buildin,s lo Nonh Idaho, and the community and college are workiog hard 10 preserve their legacy.

Pon Sherm.an, csuiblished in 1878 10 maintain peace in uus area. was comprised of S2 buildings and housed 2SO soldiers. The wwn of Coeur d'Alene developed around the fort until August 1901 when lhe post was officially abandoned.

Between the gymnasium and the SUB stands a repliea of the fort gate, which was conslIUcted by NIC students.

The Bachelor O{ficers' Quarters, conslIUcled in 1878 and larer moved and renovated, i-5 now the Hubbud Street AparrmenlS. The most popular attraction IS the Officers' Quarters Building across from 1he parade ground.

The campU-5 ' Fort Sherman branch of the Museu m of Nonh Idaho, more commonly called the Powder Magazine Museum, is a replica of the 1878 amm umuon building. Several d1fferen1 exhibits featuring the Fort Sherman history are displayed there each year. The museum 1~ open in the afternoon~ from May I 10 Sept.

30, Tuesday through Saturday.

Judith Sylte, N!C history ins1uctor, said that historical siles are au.ratting quite a fcv. visitors to the campus. The officers' quancrs are "headquarters for summer acth ities," and draws the largest cr~d.

"Still, it is surprising how many people, even on campus, "'ere unaware of what a historical building this is un1il we got the plaque up," Sylte said. "Now people peek in even when the building is locked. " The plaque she mentioned is the new historical IIWlter in front of the OffKXrs' Quaners Building. The white and gray sign reads: "Fort Sherman Officcn' Quan ers Building-1878. This home, one of North Idaho's oldest buildings, was part of Officers' Ro11, at Fort Sbcnna.n.

The fort was established on April 16, 1878. As mining, timber industries and railroads boomed, the city or Coeur d'Alene grew up around the fort. By 1900 the fron tier had passed into a more civilized territory, and the fort was officially abandoned. On Oct. 29. 1979, the ofr~ 's quarters building and the surrounding district "'ere placed on the National Register of Historic Places.''

Syhe hopes to soon have a floodlight on the marker for people 11,ho come by a1 nlgh1. She also hill "great hopes" to restore the second floor of the officen' quarters, stressing that the "most interesting architcctual and historical featur~ will be retained." A dispb) of historical photographs is being put together for the fim noor of this building and <hould be un,eiled v.1thm the next f~ month\, she said.

A prOJl:Cl that Syltc has juit completed, m conjun,· 110n with 1hc \1uiuem of North Idaho, 1s a pamphlet cn1itled "Fool\u:ps Around Fort Sherman." Thh brochure gives a brief hJStory of Fort Sherman and includes I map and a d~nption or e,cl) historkal site on or near ampus The pamphler is free and ts available 11 both the Po11,dcr \ lagazinc '\llu~ and at the Officrrs' Ouartm Building.

Student ques tions fee priorities Eduor Finall~ the heat broke and the learrung began. Too bad that II was nearly a month into the )Chool }t:ar. The human body was not meant to think in an environment that 1s as hot as the Administrauon Building 11.as for the first month of school. Other) who have clas). as well as those who teach, in th.is building, have echoed this sentiment.

J see 1ha1 "'e have new pa,ement on campus: how nice that our auto) are so well thought of. I do understand that the monies that paid for the pa,·mg 11.ere from a grant 1ha1 was specifically for that job. The nev. shrubs look nice 100. However, they arc not pertinent 10 our learning endeavors.

It would be nice in the future that 1he students 'were as well cared for as our autos, and the visitors to our fine campus who would say, " My, what lovely shrubber)." Maybe a cooling system for this amiquainted building would ha,,c been a more appropriate use of funds.

Voter apathy afflicts campus Tremor; of vottr apathy threaten 10 crack the vtr)' roundation~ of student go\crnmcnt and the democrotic process. student senate tlcction L~ upon u • ond few know about it. If voter trends conunue to follow those \Cl Inst spring, even fe\\tr will particnte in the nctual election process.

Three unoppo ed \tudent senate cundidntes will fill the vncntcd posts. Thi$ also rtOect~ an un e1tling disinterest in student govermcnt affaif\. \\'ill the new candidate rcprc~ent the need$ and concern~ of the students?

If not. wh> ore they running unopposed?

According 10 SNIC Prc~1dcnt Mary Jo Han~cn, thi~ lack of participation may be attributed, 1n part, to the foct that NIC l!> only n 1wo-yenr school. \ Jthough thi\ ma)' breed a feeling of Impermanence, the a11ilude i~ unwarranted and unfortunate Sjnce there 1s no contest, no debate, no name-calling, or othcrdegcncro1ivc conduct used to discredit opponents that ,cem~ ~o peculmr to the modern nauonal political cnmpo1gns. ~tudcnts are not rn king notice- the new ~cnntors will quietly tn~e their posts.

Why should NIC students care? Believe it or not, is~ue~ arc at hand that cone.em each and every student who pay~ tuition and fees- the ~tudcnt government can innuence the outcome of these 1~sue\.

Last spring the student senate became involved in the now-hot confrontauon 11.ith the N IC Board of Tmstees vs. IISNIC over dbputcd legal interprctauons off~ charged to student\ for capital improvements on campus The proposal they , ubmitted to the board may, or may not. have reprr:~cnted the voice of the students-that i, debatable. Yet , to no faull of their own. officers were domg their JOb- rcpr~enung the students os best they knew how.

Incumbent ASNlC execu11ves took office 1hi\ foll with this connict thrc:11en· ing to drain all budget re~ources and l~l all 1ho,e involved. They were elected l:ut spring in the wa~e of ,ome of the worst voter apa1hy 10 mnict this campus in year~. Only 13.27 percent of the \tuden1s cast ballots in the 1988 ,prins elecuon.

Placmg the blame on this phenomenon has baffled c:ven na11onol political camp:ugns in recent urnes. Yet, mosr people grumble about how 1h111~~ or,e being handled, bu, really can't say they participated in the democratic pro~s designed to repr~cm the people.

Grumbling is not going to make the current la"'su11 go away. Only the responsible leadership of student government can deter any fun her de~truction of future relationship) between ASNIC and the board of trustees.

Not unlike the national/ international issues that arc key in this year's presidential race, NIC politics and student concerns must be addr~. Apathy regarding these affairs only limit our rights and freedoms as American cniz.en.s and students.

Take on some personal responsibility, start getting involved-paw cipatc in the democratic process by voting. Only those who choose to ignore the process will be the ones who feel they arc at the mercy of steamroller politics, helpless 10 evoke change. Those who take that responsibility will be the ones influencing our future.

Sept. 29, 1988/NIC Sentlnel-5-

Tradition, traits play role in women's goals rainee turk Since the idea of " women's lib" first began, women have pursued excellence in the career world as weUas in their family lives.

But have women really achieved the desired recognition that they can accomplish any feat a man can accomplish? And has society as a whole really accepted the idea tha t women are as capable io the career world as are men?

Women and men are very similar in their mental abilit y, never mind the physical. Therefore, women should be looked upon as equally capable in any field they decide 10 pursue.

Unfortunately, many women still find themselves in tedious jobs 1ha1 pay minllllum wage and hold very Huie status.

Why is it that women arc often the secretaries, nurses and nigh t anendams while men arc the managers, doctors and pilois?

A possible answer to this question is the fact that women often do not have the time 10 devote to schooling in order 10 become these professionals.

In addition, a few may lack the inclination, as do some men.

However, many women also arc involved in raising children or working to send their husbands 10 school, This tends to put a woman's career plans on the "back burner," so 10 speak.

Besides I.he mentioned 1radilional responsibilities of a woman. other barriers do exist, according to a presentation at the recent \\'omen's Group forum.

Speech instructors Sandy Brashears and Julie Birkey-James shed some new light on the subject of how women aod men differ in personality traits and how these factor5 might conlnoute to the o~erall success of a woman in the work place.

Women use more emotion when dealing with a decision, while men use more reason, according to the theory of "Yin and Yang."

Possibly, this idea could add to the common act or a woman choosing to raise a family or help supPoT1 her struggling husband instead of pursue a career for her own.

Another aspect is the characteristic of yielding or "giving in" that a woman often possesses, while a man often is more firm.

I imagine a large percentage of children often ask Mom if they can have something after Dad has already said "no" because they know Mom will say "yes...

In addition, women Lend Lo consider a number of things at once. while men tend to focus oo one idea at a ti me.

For example, a woman will spend time thinking about family, career, money problems and bow much weight she has gafoed-all at the same time.

Jo contrast, a man will concentrate on one thing at a time; maybe he'll think about family for a while and then he \\ill do something different.

This tends to make it hard for a \\Oman 10 concentrate on a career \\ hen any of these thoughts arc accompanied by thoughts of family and fat.

One last important factor from the theory of "Yin and Yane" is the idea that women arc more cooperali~e and men arc more competitive.

If a woman is passed up for a promotion. she may accept it if the reason for the denial is explained by someone she truSts. However. if a man is denied that same promotion. he will probably only accept that c:q,lanalion on the surface. Inside he has a plan to compete for that promotion.

Besides the above-mentioned "Yin and Yang" theories, other factors arc involved, according 10 Brashears and Birkey-James.

Women speak with a higher-pitched voice than necessary, they apologize often and they speak with indecisive words. such as "maybe" and ''sort or· instead of "yes.·• These characteristics make a woman appear weak. according 10 Brashears and Birkey-James.

So. what is 10 be done about these characteristics?

Should we become selfish and forget about the traditional values of a woman or should we try to find a "happy medium" where we can balance family life and a career?

We should find a ''happy medium" because both are definitely worth our time.

Great effort falls short, summer plans soiled wait ross

The editor of the Sentinel oskcd me if I'd like LO write o column for this bsuc. " It can be serious, or lighthearted, or whatever you want," he told me. ''OK," 1 soid, and embarked on a search for o subject. Trudging through the dank, dark, thoroughly demented rcc~cs of the uninhabited canyons known as " rny mind," 1 sought and thought and lurched and searched. My shoes got muddied, and my fla~hlighl baucri~ puked out .

What shall I write about?

Well, since it is an elccuon vear l 1hough1, briefly, that I could ~rit; about Bu)h and Du~akis and their "Boule of the Pledge or Allegmncc." but that's 100 stupid, even for me.

I feel it rates right up there with other POiiti~ absurdities such as Bush

"taking a look into ethics in government," which is like having Steve Symms discuss "Truth m ("inc) Labeling" laws.

I need something that would focus on a subject 1ha1 NIC students could relate 10 more readily, somctlung th:it would inform and delight them simultaneously.

Hmmm ... whot is a burning 1Ssue that would hit home \\ ith m) comrades?

Well, if they're anything ble me, they want to kno" exactly how man) pound~ of spaghetti h consumed m N1c·~ during the a,crage ~hoot )ear, and they ,,ant to lno" \\ho the uulitarian arch1tcc1 was that thought half or o s1~1 pipe \\Ould make an auracmc: 3\1 mng :u the entrance 10 the librar) bu1ldmg.

You kno1,. important ~,urr.

Then it h11 me: 11C student~ wam to ~cc something that has ne, er c,er ~n dis.:ussed M)"' here at anyume Something the) can relate 10.

Something they can proudly ,111,·e in the foce of other people and sa): Th~ I) what the creathe minds a.re produting at my school. Something 1ha1 sho\\S tht " Orld that "'e are

Forest fires kept fighters' summer busy

by Forrest Hai. Although the rcttnl series of forcsl li1cs in lhc area bl3c\:cned many at'l'tS in the Nonhwes1, th.is ma) benefit the forcsts by causing greater 11w11rcncss of forest issues. a Forest Service spokesman wd. " The general public hll.S never Seffl a reason to become m,ohed or informed on 11 (mllllqing of rorcs1 lands)." said Allen Globs. Forest Sci--~ public aITairs off1ccr.

Wblle most !ires~ seen by the public as being harmful. dir«t auack Is not the only op11on open to the lirclightcn, he said. " No\\. for a vaticl)' of reasons. \\"C don't VIC\\ oD rires llS all bad Ill au times ... Gibbs wd, aod some fires ore merely "contained ..

Fire maMgers c"1manc the qucsuon: "Can \\e utih.tc the lire for (forest) managnnenl purposes?" he said. This dcci.non is made criticnlly, he ,aid: unless specw conditions arc mc1, direct suppms100 is the method used.

ThlS system IS not perfect, though. and some rues under contammcnt In Idaho did escape the lircligbtcn, he nld.

With the cooler autumn temperatures and nun, the orth Idaho National Forest, Slate and private lands have returned 10 normal fire condiuons, Gibbs said.

Open campfires arc again allowed outsidcdcvelopcd campgrounds, "hoot owl" restrictions have been dJopJ)(d for forest rndustrlc$ and firewood gathcnng is pcrmiu.cd north or the Salmon River, wilh some cxccpti.o n1, mainly in the Nez Pe rce Nation.al Forest, he said.

These sUllldard restrictions will continue until Oct. 20, he said.

Pe rsonal-use firewood culling and gather ing was prohibncd in early September on the Nez Perce, Clearwater and Idaho Panhandle rational forests and Deparuncnt of Lands acreage nonh or the Salmon River.

1n addition. campfires and smoking in undeveloped or uocodoscd areas was rCSlrict.cd, and boot owl hours were enforced, be said.

Up 10 Sepl. 22, forest fires had burned 1,828 acres for which the Idaho Ocpan, mcnt or Lands is rcspo!Uiblc, 8lXOrdiog to John Presu,n, rue program planner with lhe lan<h d ~ t.

The Idaho Panhandle accounts for 1,000 of lhcsc acres, he said.

As or Sept. 20, CJ7 forest rues had burned 982 acres of USFS land in I.he Idaho Pan.baDdle, Gibbs said.

A slight O\ crlap v..itb USFS figures may txist, Preswn .said. because of cooperation in fire fighting between the 1wo ~cncies.

Although lightning started S4 of the fires. humans caused tbc other 43-bumi:ng an estimated 600 or lhe 982 acres, GThbs said.

One, lhc "Spar Lalcc" fire northeast or Sandpoint, wa.s human-a.used. Repon.cd oo Sep.. S, it was contained Sept. 19. 1988, Gibbs said.

This fire was espcdally difficult bcca~ or !he lack or trails leading into the rue; he~1cop1crs played ll m~or pan in fighting thl.S Spar fire, he said.

Although the upper Panhandle season was fairly light, the Nci Perce suffered through "quite a few'' !ires, he said.

"Quite frankly, we ju'i didn't have the men or equipment to do the job." due to the many large fires in the Northwest.

"Quite frankly, we just didn 't have the men or equipment to do the job."

The YcUowstone fire wu referred 10 as the ''Black Hole," because we kept puuina people In there and nothing happened, he said.

High dcrrands on fire fighting resources forced prlor.itict 10 beset, he said, and rues threatening humans or property were given more rc&ourccs than those in national forcsu.

The type of person fighling forest fires has abo changed. In the past, larger fulJ. time crews were employed only to fight fires, he said.

When the fires could not be conuollcd by the firefighters, the national interagen· cy coordinating 111oup in Boise appealed 10 other government agencies, including the military, and Canadian companies, he said.

"Instead, what we do now is provide uaining LO anyone else In the agency who would like 10 fiaht fucs" and meet ccrt.ain requirements, and these crews supplement the smaller professional crews, he said.

Alth ough Canadian crews had cooperated close to the border. Con111css bad Lo pass spcciaJ legislation allov..ing the United Swcs LO reimburse t.hesc companies for services. Gibbs said Jerry Heglic, 22, a member of lhc Na· tional Guard and an NIC student, volunteered 10 uarupon firefigh ters at t.bc !ires near PoweU, Idaho. over the Labor Day weekend.

"We made their life a liule bit easier," he said.

AILhough eovironlllfflwlY devastating. the rtres were a majestic sight. with "Roman candJcs" (ced&r uca burning from the iruidc) and brightly-lit sk.ics, he

Cray at his best when playing close tO roots

by David Gunter In the bcginrung, God created the blues. ll grew strong and flourished in the thick mud of the Mississippi Delta. But the blues moved north Lo the nigbcd ubs and beer ioinu of Chicago and New York and feU001 of favor with God. The music weru underground to hide iu face from His wrath and was almost lost until a handful of long·haired white boys in England became disciples. From those ranks, there emerged one who would rekindle the names and pas5 the mantle on to a chosen cbild of the blues.

Thus it was that Eric of England brought the blues to Robert of the Northwest. and the music was to live once again in glory. l1's not the stuff that legends are made of, but it's no1 easy describing the musical roots of Robert Cray.

He c:alJs Eric Clapton his major influence on guitar and counts artists like Sam & Dave as the vocalists he Lries 10 emulate.

Cray has just released his firth album, " Don't Be Afraid of the Dark," and, barring a few drawbacks, it makes for very good listening. The collection pays tribute 10 the contemporary anists tlle guitarist lmened to while growing up in Tacoma. Wash., with a healthy serving of clauic blues 1hrown in as well.

Cray's first album, "Who's Been TaJki n' ," was rcrcleased on the Atlant ic label in 1986. Originally recorded in 1980. Lhe label that initially put the album out folded six months later. Cray followed that disap·

''Don't Be Afraid" shows Cray in a confident lig.ht in C'rt:rf rcspcC'l-as a singer. songwriter and guitarist.

As in his previous albums, he cJCpcriments in a mixed bag of gniw styles wilh lOt.al ease. Vocally. the favorite son of the Northwest has never sounded bet· Ler. It is the songwriting that show1 lhe best-and worst- that the Oct" record bas 10 offer.

The strongest compositions were wnnen by Cray himself. Each of them show close ties with -.uuage Chicago blues roots. turning a phrase or two on the subjecu of lost love a.ad misplaced LrUSt. His singing on these selections is heanfell; his playing completely inspired. The songs written by the album's coproduccr, Dennis Wa.lker, don't bold up in com· parison. Walker's tunes arc less grit!). The lyrics tend 10 labor too hard to make their point. Though Cray and the band deliver the IJ"3cks in typically superior fashion, the singing and playing just don't cook like they do on the band leader's ow-n material.

Peter Boe handles the keyboar~• .David Olson mans the drums and Richard Cousins keeps the bottom in· taCI on the bass. Cousins and Cray ba-.e been pla)ing together from the time they moved out of Tacoma 10 become roomates in Eugene, Ore. The history of friendship/ musicianship is easily heard as the two hold down the groove together on all of Cray's albums 10 date.

"Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" has more 1h11n its share of fine listening, but even if ii does nothing more than cause the listener to invcs1ig111e Cray's previous recorded work. it has served a good purpose.

The great greyhound getaway

by CollHn Penon The Coeur d'Alene Greyhound Raoetrack was a pleasant surprise for me as my pa.st experience with animal "sport" events have been somewhat unsavory.

When I was a young tecn•ager. my father, who raised race horses, would take me 10 tbe track.

I don't want you 10 lhinlc I begged for this opportunity. Or lhat I ever go1 to see a race. I went because my mother refUJed to go. and I never saw a race because I was in the back stables mucking about in horse leavings and being trounced by horse parts.

My father also took me to cock fights.

If you've never been 10 a cock fight, let me draw you a little picture. First of all, they arc illegal, so they arc traditionally held in the woods. There is Ulcgal gambling and drinking, so the language iJ u ripe as the air.

Long spikes arc put on the roosters' legs, and they are thrown at each other untJI they ere furious. Then they arc dropped Into "the pit." They throw themselves at each other, feathers and blood flying everywhere.

When one looks like It's dead, the owner puts witch hazel (an alcohol solu· lion) in his own mouth and then also puts the rooster's head in his mouth and gives ii a vigorous swish. This revives lhe rooster long enough to spike his opponent a few more limes. and a good time is had by all.

So this i, wha1 I wu thinking when someone suggested I write about our new greyhound racetrack.

Plrst of all, I was struck by the sheer si.tc or the facility as well as the architecture (to the tune of SJO million). It has several bars and two concession stands,

along with 60 betting windows. The building is designed to hold S,000 people comfortably, and the clubhouse has ruu service and a dining menu. Television monitors arc mounted on the tables, as well as throughout the building, showing the odds. the dogs and replays of the current rac:c. If one gets bored, one can watch "Dynasty."

Although 11 's a good idea to buy a roce schedule, the symbols will mean nothing to those who arc not alrcad)1 sowy to dog rac1118. Ho"-cvcr. l wu undaunted and found thiit C\'Cll m) silliest questions were answered by the warm and congenial staff, ""hether the) "ere bllS)' or just milling around.

For no\ ice~ of the sport who don't wnnt 10 appear foolish. a 20-nunute bet· ting seminar is scheduled right before the nrst ract. enabling you to apply all )•our new-found information ""bile it's still fmh. h i.s of interest to no1e that nearly SO perc.mt of all money wagered is l'l'tum· ed to the public. mahng the odds of winning the best game in town. There arc si.,: ways to bet and numerous combinauons, making it interesting to han· dicappers as wcU as those who prefer to bet their birthday, social security number or any other si.&nificant number they an- attached 10.

Although everyone is prctry mcUo\li between races, the crowd c.,:plodc:s .,.,; th

exatemcnt when the srcyhounds are released. wtuch LS climaxed by the rush to windows to l'l'tric•e winnings.

Although only eight grryhounds race at a time, tllcl'l' arc up to 750 animals on the grounds at all umcs. Tbc four outer buildings beside the track house include 16 kennels where the dogs azc fed. groomed. a=tlscd and inspected by veterinarian D. Jean Battig daily as ""'ell as before and after each race.

The greyhounds arc saupulously inspected apin5t a lkrtillion card that bas each arumal's tattoo, along with all dtStiQJuising marks and coloring 10 insure that the proper dog is running a partK:U.W race. They aho arc gjvcn blood and unnc tests 10 detect any c bCIIUc:als tbJlt ma1 have been ad· nunistcred to make them run faste? . Any owner or trainer found giving c:bem:icals to these animals can be fmed and/ or thrown off the tracl and run the rule or being banned from OOICr traclc.s Ul the future.

Besides being physically looked after by wcll-uained per$Olllltl, ~ arc gr.-cn I It: pounds of ground meat along with c:crcal and biscuits. Their "'-eight, llibich is bctv.ccn 65-15 pounds, is closely monitored because they arc only allowed to weigh l"'' O pounds under or over.

Greyhound puppies begin their training at an early age, being taaoocd at 2 months, and ~tered no later than l

year of age. They arc hand-started on a track 100 feet long, gradually increasing to 300 feet. Puppies. like people, establish early running habits that wilt probably stay with them their entire racing career. causing them to be labeled "inside," "outside," "fast-breaker," "slow-breaker," "pace-setter" and "closer.''

There is also a rating system, just like grades, that greyhounds run in rangiog from A to E>. Grade M means ''maiden" and is indicated on the prog:ram for those who figure in this and other factors.

The advantage of dog racing over horse racing is the comfort of airconditioned and hea1ed facilities as welt a.s the track itself being healed by underdround pipes filled with hot water and glycol, preventing snow from sticking.

People under IS are not pcnnitted on the prcmues, and while it is not an ordin.ance, it is policy ror the safety and comfon of the elder patrons.

My visit to lhe Coeur d'Alcoc Race Park was a delight, and who would I sec there, but my Dad-good old Dad. He looked different this time. Of course he had not been out in the back wilh the dogs like in the good old days. He was there with his mother, and she wasn'1 about 10 muck around. Good for Grandma ...

New rowing team prepares for big splash

by David C1rtchull

The long, oblong racing boat is aptly called a shell. Though It dtd not at one time host a crab or snail. this craft does mn eight members of the new NI C rowing team.

Coach Bob Siegwarth will help the IS men and IS women with technique until some lime In

November. Then he cxpcct5 10 sec them skimming across the .. ucr fn.stcr than any shellruh.

Perhaps likening the rowing team's boat 10 a mollusk covcnng Is like comparing the team to breakfast cereal. From t1mc to time, the)' 11111 be ~oggy C\Cr·

Lhelcss, S1csw1.nh has been encouraged. Sponsors and supporters for the team ha, c sprung up in ..-hat he calls a "ripple cf. feet" since the idea '"'U launched hut year.

Coeur d'Alene Mo.n.na donated rrcc u1c of a motorboat so Coach S1egwanh could fouo .. the fO\l,"CfS

and gi\e megaphoned instructions.

Loa! Color designed T-shirts for raising money. and Ironwood Athletic Club allows the team ~ of a rowing m:ichine for a nominal price The srudent body of NIC even granted the team S200.

Sier,-arth said the recognition alone wu ,cry graufying.

The group is cntirel)' selfsupporung, and such assistance ,vtuall) l..cq,s II a.1oat, Siegwarth said. Ho,..cver, their independence, he said. also mamwns a stns,c of "pumy" 111 the group.

Heave ho!--NIC rowing team members show off their new rowing shell.

"The people lhat l)il11JC1pate in this q,on arc 1~ people III your ~-omnn:ntt>," Siegwanh said.

started meetings and brainstonncd until ripples began to move,

Siegwarth said.

The shell they boughl from WSU '"'1lS "a real buy", Mcleod said. More shells 11nd more equip· ment to nccommod:uc larger groups is a current goal for Siegwarth.

Siegworth hopes to enter the team inn fall regatm, or boat race.

The PAC-10 competition in Sacramento is another goal Sicgwanh hopes to reach. There they would compete with rowing crews from Washington Slate University, University of \\ astungton, University of Puget Sound and Oregon State.

McLeod would like 10 "promote rowing across the board" tn the area. He n.lso would welcome compclitton at NIC from UW, WSU and Gonuga. Then, North Idaho would have 1u own reglltta.

For now, the nc11, rowing team worls on technique. They carry the massive shell 1010,lhc chilly lake water and set their oors. Each rower dresses warmly in case the craft should sway and overturn.

This is also known as "crabbing."

Pointing out the big one- -A hunter takes aim on his target during the fire-marred bowhunting season.

The used Hobie Cats were purchased for S3.000. Organizer Dean Bcnneu says he hopes to have them pay for 1hemselvcs in 1wo 10 11lrcc )'cars. \\'hen lC acquired 1he takcfronl propcny in 1987, ils coneep1 v.as 10 develop boat rental space for students and the com· muni1y. Bcnnell said.

The du bhouse started out only rcnung sailboards, but 11, 11h daily questions about rental of the pri\'ate sailboats, Bcnneu sought to lill the demand for the high profile sailboats.

The Hobie Cats are sensiti\'e, durable and fast he snid. The) :ire C3.S) 10 sail in light win°ds for the no,icc, but as.the v.iods pie~ up. sailing requires more skill and Cl· perience, he said. They are rented accor· ding 10 the wind speed and 1he lmo11, ledge of the user.

Rentals fees for 1he c.itamarans arc SIO an hour for NIC students and Sl2.50 an hour for 1he public. The Hobie Cats com·

There have been some highs and lo,,..--s to thlS XXIV Olympiad, and ,,..bile the lows tend 10 scar the games, l prefer LO think about the good things. I lil.c to focus on ,,..ha, is lhat makes the Olympics uciting.

For starters, in the opening ceremony, as 76-year-old Sohn Kee ChuJ1g (wh_o won a gold medal in the marathon C\ ent in the 1936 Berlin Olympics) carried the Olympic torch into the stadium, he Jumped up m the air, waving bis arms lil.e an C.'l:cited child. Now 10 me, lhat 's a high. The emotions ,,..ere definitely scratching the surface.

When Matt Biondi lost the men's 100-meter bu11erny s....im b)' I 100th of a second 10 An· thony Nest) , I couldn't help but feel good.

After all, Biondi (Mark Spitz II) could spare a medal or two, couldn't be? Nest) won the fim gold medal m Ins count:r)·'s histOr)'-a little place called Suriname, in northeast South

America-and looked a liule lost on the gold platform, listening 10 his n:uional anthem. I admit, I was happy for him. Another high.

And what about Janet Evans? Spunky little swimmer that she is and junk-food junkie 10 boot. The 5'5" swimmer won the first gold medal in the games for the United States in the 400-meter inruvidual medley, while breaking her own American record. And the just-turned 17-ycar-0ld would poke her head out of the water with a "Gosh!" look, and back llomc she went with three gold medals. Now that almost brought on tears (sappy but true).

I'm going 10 say it. My hero thus far in the Olympics is a man who hit his head on a diving board during preliminaries while attempting a 2 \/i sommmault dive, taking a chunk out of tus sca.lp and requiring five stitches.

It's oot the fact tha1 he came back back a half hour later and performed a flawless reverse I 112 sommersault with H'i twis~ and won 1he gold. The clincher, for me, was when he apologized to the people watching-1he spectators-for having to watch HIM hil HIS head on a diving board. I admire Greg Louganis' concern for his fans. And I did cry.

Jack Bloxom. head coach for the !\'IC Cardinals, has his team out now to put his men through the moves for SC\'C:O weeks of fall practice.

During th~ seven weeks. Bloxom and bis assistant coJches wiU help the team in· corporate the beliers of baseball into their routines and also to Stt what the individuals have when spring comes. Bloxom said.

Players arc not r«ruitcd for their defense positions first and foremost, but rather for their hitting ability. Bloxom said.

Hitting comes first. and then the players could work on their positions, he said. In the spring. players arc given the chance for

L

fair competition for a position they feel they might be better at, Bloxom said.

E.~ccptions to pla)c:ts being recrwtcd tor mainly hitting are shonstop, ccotcrficld and pitcher. Blo.xom said.

This ,car's team is YOUD& and has pla)"Cts returning from last year. The team will be working on attitude and weak areas, Bloxom said. These are the most important aspects because if the players do not give their full commiunmt to I.be sport. both the team and that individual -.ill suffer. Bloxom said.

Recalling last year's J2.11iin, I I-loss season, Bloxom said, •·If I had that each year, I could die happy."

The Cardinals lost lhc championship lO CoUegc of Southern Jdaho, 8-o. due to defense lapses; otherwise it was a "great year." Bloxom said.
