Stuart said he retired from full-time sui.1us in May of last year but ilayed on part-lime until hi~ resignation on Jan. 9.

He ~aid that commitments to his pnva1c consulting firm and a part-time job with the Umversity of Florida were his rcawos for resigning.

FinaJI)', in November the Curriculum Council approved Stuart's A.A.S. degree program, "hich was the \ocational plan.

Meanwhile, according to all sources, several law enforcement students h:ld become very concerned that their degrees would not transfer and they could 001 finish the academic A.S. degree under the n~ iystem.

"They felt lost m the system; no one v.115 answering their questions," said AS:-,!IC PrestdenJ Mary Jo Hansen.

That ~ when the cadets and >\&'II C Sen. Tawnee Limesand went into action at the Novemw Board of Trustees meeting.

Upon learning that the A.A.S. plan was not a tranferrable academic degree and that several students would be "caught in the transition," the Board tabled the Bennett· Stuart plan.

Located near the college entrance at the Garder A. ,-en JC and Hubbard Street int.crsection, the area may someday be used for parking near the pro-posed new library, Dean of Administration Rolly Jurgens said. The apartments are considered an C)'CWrc: by those: entering the camplll aua and are not worth restotation due 10 their p00r ccndition. according to Jurgens and current owner Ben Patzer.

A decision was made by the NJC Boe.rd of Trus1"S on Dec. IS to purchase the propcny for SI I S,000, and a ~erbal agreemenr on the land's sale to the college has been reached with Patzer, Jurgens said.

Muwal agreement remains 10 be reached concerning the property's con· dition after the apartmems' removal, probably by a foe department training crew, Jurgens said .

One condition for the sale is the aging apartments' removal, Jurgens said.

"We don't want to buy it wi th that building on it ... we don ' t want 10 have anything to do with the building. It's just more headache for us."

According lo initial agreements, he (Patzer) will burn the apanments. clean the area and "get the property down to bare ground," Patzer said.

Jurgens said he contacted the former owner of the property about 1wo years ago.

"Last fall. we started observing tbe property was Starring to need some renovation work. (We) started meeting about it (the sale) again ...and I asked him if I could make him an offer," Jurgens said.

He then met with the Board of T rustees and made an offer.

Soon a fter, tbe Spokane owner defaulted on his payments. Patzer &aid.

Pilot program soars Reading, 'riling and 'ri1hmc1ic, the three "Rs" that characterized the emergence of the public school system in this country, arc still the focus of critical debate that surrounds the iJ. literacy dilemma facing young Americans today.

Many groups recognize the problem. but few have pragmatic solutions and fewer want 10 take responsibility.

Many only criticize programs that have been implemented 10 hdp. Unfonunately, many high school and college studenLS today can closely relate to Don Henley's rock n'roll song, Johnny Can't Read, which points 10 the ironies society faces regarding education.

According to NIC Pilot Program organizers, many s tudenLS entering college do not possess reading skills adequate for rigorous college-level curricula. Al the other end of the spectrum, U.S. production firms arc in dire need of more skilled college graduates to support the tremendous growth in industries involved in electronics and computer science.

Institutions of higher learning arc not alone in their concern. Indus try and business arc bcginruog to take a closer look 111 w!la! Philip Kingsley, editor of the industrial magazine-Power Transmission Design, calls a "literacy delicit. " Kingsley wrote that many lucrative industrial and business contracLS arc being lost 10 " offshore giants" because many American companies were unwilling to take on the jobs due 10 a lack of engineering talent 10 handle the design work-the talent was not available 10 fill the need.

Kingsley said U.S. firms needed more than twice the number of qualified computer science graduates last year. and 10 add insult and injury to our American pride, one-half of those qualified graduates were foreign st udent s.

Kingsley is talking about the lack of qualified engineers, while Peggy Federici, NI C reading clinician. is talk· ing about the lack of qualified studenLS at the entry-level 10 college.

Since our overcrowded and understaffed public high schools arc gradua,ing citc:ess numbers of what media has called .. functional illiterates" (a somewhat contradictory pbr35C), controversial l)fog;.uns lilce NIC's pJlot project may become a cornerstone in college preparation io the future.

However, some critics of the NIC project arc concerned it will lower the prestige and reputation the college gains from mainl3irung bigh academic stall· dards. Cri1jcs Hke these fail to sec that programs Hke the pilot project will enhance s1uden1S' abilities to attain the higb standards required for sroduation.

Kingsley said sombody has 10 assume rcsponsibiU1y for the Htcracy deficit. because, like our government's budget deficit, the problem will not go away by itself. Some private companies arc beginning 10 foot the bill for technical programs that satisfy their needs. But, in the super-competitive world market, nations like Japan arc alread)' beginning to beat Americans at their own game. So. we must rise to meet this problem.

If NIC is 10 continue pursuing ilS education philosoph)·: "To accept the fundamental rc,ponsibilit)' 10 meet the varying needs of individuals "1th "idcly divergent intcrcslS and abilities. and respond 10 the needs of area business, industries and govcmmenllll agencies by preparing competent, trained personnel," it must continue to devdop and administer programs like the pilot project.

In fact, it has. For years now. NIC has pro,idcd entry-level courses in math and English. but criticism has followed the new proposal and its courses.

Perhaps those who are professing their concern that the pilot project might lower the college's esteem and reputa· lion should be issued name tags of "professor" 10 placate their insecurities.

Somebody should remind them why people choose 10 aucnd j unior colleges-it is not so they can be part of an elitist group.

Tips take trivia out of 'terrible taxes' rainee turk

Another year has passed leaving I.he chore of reporting income (however scarce ii may be) and figuring federal income tax (however abundant i1 may seem).

For students who decide 10 figure their wes on their own, some helpful information may ease the anxiety sometimes associated with this duty.

Choosing the appropriate tax return form according to gross income and filing status is 1he first s1ep.

Although three major 1ax forms are available, 1he 1040EZ is the quickest and

simplest form to complete. The 1040A form is more detailed for individuals who will list a few additional income sources and deductions. The 1040 form (often referred to as the ''long form") is for people who choose to itemize expenses for maximum deductions (this is usually used by those people in higher tax brackets).

As for students, the 1040EZ form is best, in many cases, because enough yearly income has not been made to make the time itemizing or searching for receipts to support deductions worthwhile.

The 1040EZ is the most beneficial for those individuals whose gross income is $4,950/ yr. or less with the undemanding 1ha1 the person will not be claimed as a dependem on another person's tax return. For those claimed on another tax return, $3,000/ yr. or less is the 1040EZ is most beneficial.

Using the 1040EZ form instead of the 1040 form (which some people believe results in the biggest refund) allows the person 10 take a standard deduction if he/ she chooses not to itemize.

The standard deduction allows a single per-

son to deduct SJ,000 from his/her gross income. Taking this deduction lowers the gross income (of those people who made S3,000 or less or those who made $4,950 or less and claimed a personal deduction) to zero thus resulting in a full refund.

If a person makes more than $3,000 or $4,950 and would like a refund or will owe 1axes, itemizing with the 1040 (long form) is the best choice.

When this is the case, many people take their 1axes 10 an accountant, but by following the directions provided 1he 1040 form is less complicated than most people believe and can be done at home. Besides. before having an accountant take care of taxes. ii is necessary 10 gather all the applicable information for 1he accountant to itemize and half the work is already done. In addition, any mistakes made by the chosen accountant will be the responsibility of the taxpayer anyway.

So, ins tead of fearing those complicatedlooking sheets of paper called ta.'< forms, sit down. be brave and bear it.

Holiday reminds people of equal rights So did he really need to be billed as black? That's like billing Yo Yo Ma as .. America's leading yellow ccllis1. ·•

the ones where we get lo pick our ethnicity.

I'm glad 10 not see them anymore, though I admit I miss not being able 10 designate myself as "Pacific Islander" (even though I've never left the continent).

Another thing nlong these lines that bothers me is the reference to Native Americans as "Indians."

For those of you who arc not aware of it, Indians arc people from India.

Further stiU, ir I had my druthers Native Americans wouldn't even be called that. They would wear the moniker they auached 10 themselves long before the white-man ever showed up: They called themselves "human beings."

I really like that term, human being. Of course.

I'm an optimist firmly rooted in the belief that if people referred to each other as "human beings" they would treat each other as such-equally. with respect, dignity and. maybe, a liule kindness.

Equality is no1 a limited concept that only cmcompasses race relations. however. It encompasses relations between men and women as well.

I could sec it if be .,.ere playing a particular color-say black-of guiuu-, I suppose. But that's stretching C\cn my imagination.

Another Manin Luther !Gog Jr. Doy has come and gone. I con 't say my reaction is much different from last yenr: I loothe o certain aspect of it.

Like Christmas, I loathe the fact lhat it takes a na11onal holiday to remind people that the day of goodwill and equality between all people hos not yet arrived.

In fnct, nothing has changed.

The thing thllt l'CllUy tipped me off this year was when I went and sa" an old friend perfonn in the C-A a~ part of the King celebration.

I'm sure it wasn't a conscious thing on lhe pan of whoever wrote the program, and if lrlle-to-fonn.

I'm the only person who noticed i1.

In the program. m)' friend was billed as: ··The guitar music of Leon Atkin)on, Americn's leading black classical guitarist."

Now I knew Leon was black, I'd noticed it the lim time I met him. I also knew he was o "orld· class classical guiuuist. And I suspcc1 that everyone present at bis performance noticed those characteristics too.

No, it was one of those things we sec all the time but never notice and, I t.hink, is represenllltivc of a very subtle form of ..cthoophobia."

It's similar to those fuMy IfoJe boxes that have mostly disappeared from various breeds of forcru,

After all, women enjoy a li1tle cheesecake with their football and beer too.

phase which would bring the project total to about $200,000, would completely remodel the women's locker room, tum the weight room into an extensive fitness ctn1er and allow improved ha.ndicap access 10 the second level of 1he building, according to the concerns voiced by students and employees . It would also include an additional SO ble:1Cher stalS over the south end of the gym.

The main concern of the issue right now, according 10 J urgens. is whether the college should ~c

its money on the gym instead of concentrating on the construction of a new library and research center across from the Communication-Am Building.

The college does have a ceriain amoun1 of funds se1 aside for the gym remodeling, but the second phase or 1he project could exceed 1hat amount. spokesmen said.

Both Jurgens and Headley are concerned 1hat state legislators may think NIC would ra1ner remodel a gym than consuuct a much-needed library, but both say 1hey are commined to the library project as well.

ASNIC conducts board meeting.

ASNIC sets new plans for spring semester

by Linette Freeman

Two main items on the ASNIC agenda for this semester are dead "eek and Lbc Kildow Memorial Scholarship fund, said President Mary Jo Hansen at a recent board meeting.

Dead 'week is a ~ eek al the end of the semester 1hat falls between the last lecture and the firsl final exam. During this week instructors usually do not introduce any new material and 1hey cancel classes.

This cmp1y ~eek gives students a chance 10 relax and s1udy for final exams and il provides instructors with extra prep time. Hansen said.

The ASNIC board has appointed a group of students 10 research the possibilit)' of dead wcclc on the IC campus and try 10 determine

whether ii would be beneficial 10 all concerned.

A second project whlc:h the board has begun working on is the Kildow Memorial Scholarship Fund and the allocation of the monies available.

The four scholarships. each for S7S, ~ere sc1 up in the memory of Dr. Gc~rge Kildow, who was the President of NIC in the la1e forties and early fifrics (the NIC Hbrary was also named in his memory). All studcnu arc clig,iolc for applica1ion and lhosc in· tercsted can pick up applications from student service&, lhc: voca· tional counseling service, the ASNIC offices, Dean Bennett or Tony S1cwat1. Applications mu5l be turned in by Feb. 14.

President Robert Benne11 also said Gov. Cecil Andrus' recommendation for community college funding is 8.2 percent. considerably less than the 15 percent recommended by the State Board of Education. Since the 8.2 pcrcen1 increase only applies to state funds, the 10111.I impact on NIC's budgc:t is less

than 3 percent. Bcnneu said the governor believes that additional funds for community colleges shou Id come from local sources.

mos1 popular lhemc:s-ir no1 tht: most popular lheme-for hundreds of years.

And with February Just beginning. lo, c Lhema are popping up again.

Saint \'alenune's Day is 1he s«ond largest business day for floral. candy and card shops, preceded onl) b> ~lo1her·,

The Sugar Shad. 's bcs1-sclht11 Valen· une's Day gift is chocolates, employee Al)'Ua Pert) said. Perry said 1ha1 business "increases a 101" around Valcnune·, Da) and lhal two-pound bo~cs of nut and caramel chocolates seU the best.

Bruo: \\ 1niers. O"-ncr of Hollday's H:tllnwk Shop, )Bid 1ha1 900 milUon \ aknunes are sent each year, compared to an annual 2.2 billion Christmas cards. \\ inters also said 1ha1, after cards, his lar&csl seller i$ stuffed animals. follov.ed b)' gourmet Jelly bc:llll$.

According to Winters. "Romantt is in," and romantic and lrtlditional cards arc his best seUm. (Historically. the first valentines were girts rather than cards. although a ''Cl'$e was usually enclosed. 6V1:n1ually. the verse 11sclf was considered the ,11lemine.)

Satnt Valentine's Day h3S not alv. ay, been the lovers' holiday. II grew from the mergmg of a pagan and a Chrbti:in fc:ist.

The ancient Romans honored their god Lupcrru, C'-cr)· Feb. IS with a res1h't11, dur• mg v. hl(h )'oung people drc" lot, for g:imc pannc" for the following year.

Thus. the chosen game partner cnmc to be called one's ",olcnlinc."

Sa1m Valentine'! Doy 15 ~urroundcd by legend and trodnion. Although hiltOry proves othcrwiie, $Omc 1rndi1ion1 still hold that Feb. 14 was chosen as u dny to honor lo~ers bec:nu~c birds begin to mate on that day. Another legend soys lhnt snaring an owl and two sparro1vs before dawn on Valenunc't Day will bring wisdom and modesty in future love relationships.

Perhaps the most popular legend for lo,ers 1s 1ha1 the first person seen on Feb. 14 will be one'~ va.lcntint.

King's ultimate dream "'11.S that all persons would be judged not by color of skin but by strength or character.

Sexual offender, victims seek therapy

by Colleen Perron Although s1ill inndc:qualc, the educational process regarding child abuse con• tinually improves. Whal we hear less about is 1he "offender"-hc or she who hur~ our children. Who are they, and wha1 arc Ibey about? Is !here a typical 1ype of person that we could n1l idenufy and be awnrc of?

To answer some or these questions, I talked 10 Tom Heam. a clinical 1herapis1 al Interfaith Counseling. His practice deals with abused children and their families as well as 1he offenders. In his 12 years of practice. which began in Seattle, Hearn has become an expert in lhc field of sexual abuse and is a weallh of information.

Hearn says child abuse comes in all forms. from physical 10 psychological 10 &exual. and pcoplc need 10 become more aware or the signs. as well as 1heir roles. in bringing ii to the atten tion or lht' authorities. In fact, it is a misdemeanor not to report suspected abuse within 1he rim 24 hours.

What happens 10 su offenders when they arc caught ,•arics from state 10 Slate and from judge to judge. Some cscnpe sentencing altogccher. while others get as many ns 30 years in pri~on.

Ordinarily, offenders are sentenced to 5-10 )lt'ars, but serve only abou1 one-third to half of that time. One reason is because of prison over-crowding: nno1hcr is because counseling is becoming more of an option.

Although sex offenders 1radilionally fighl 1rea1ment by minimizing. denying or otherwise shift ing the blame 10 someone else. Hcnrn sicsses that treatment is a privilege. albeit forced. Although most or his client~ come 10 him 1hrough 1he court systems as well as Child Protective Services and conditions or lht' offenders' parole. he accepts only about 50 percent of them.

The criteria for treatmenl is stiff, beginning with n 1horough screening of the offenders' pas1 sexual history, deviant and appropriate.

A complete profile is buih with Lhc aid or periodical polygraph tests, which Hearn says most offenders fail the first lime. If lhcy consistently fail the graph or arc rcsis· 1an1 to treatment or hostile, they \\ill be

Toe "cocrswc molher myth" is jwt lluu. suned Hearn. :ind untold damage is done to 1hcsc 111omen's sclf~t~m. someumcs UU.tDi years of tbcrnpy to undo.

The offender also bla.mes the ,•1climi1hcy ·•111antcd" him to do it. he say . Hr wul ~tc that the)' "ere alf"3dy SC.Wally c:t· pcricootd and or ~e, uall> sophlsucated.

The fact is. offenders sutll 1hcir vk1ims long in ad,ancc of 1heir first encounter.

Child molesters lool for children who alone and appear need\ in some wa) - 11nd theY befriend them When in~t is invohthe offender will begin 10 1ouch the duld inappropriately or "ntch them in the bathroom or bedroom Sc, oftcndcrs ~uffcr from n com• puls1vc/1ddic11ve d1\0rder. often pcrop1t.11ed b) being .:i , ktim thcm<clvo, then growing tnto other acuvtti~ such M peep· mg, ,oycurhm. and tnnpproprw1e fonla.\11· ma It I! n lc;im1ng disorder that t\ onalog.ut to olcoholi\m in 1ha1 nn alcohohc 1s nlway~ an akohohc ulthouyh he m11y choo,e not 10 drint... He m:iy 11!~0 choo5c to drint.. aR,iin after many yea" or ab\tincncc.

With 1rca1men1. male ofrenden learn 10 avoid suuations thnl will pul them and thctr vicum a1 nsk They avoid old pa11crn, of behavior and rantasiting while lcnrn,ng 10 develop healthy, appropriate rela1ioM wilh adult women. It is n requirement for men in trcatmcnt 10 tell the women 1n new rela· cioruhip, or 1hcir problem end basically let lhc chips here !hey may.

Offenders typically feel lhlS is unfair, but Hearn asscrt.s 1ha1 Ihcsc women have the right 10 know, cspcclaUy 1r they have young children. Basically, "they know how not to re-offend 1( they choose not 10 re. offend," Hearn says.

removed from the program. which lasts t\\O yenrs or more.

The fajlure rate for families going through trcauncn1 with the offender is understandably high, around 50.75 per· cent, while the success rate for offenders is abou1 80 percent.

So. who arc sex offenders? Typically, they arc manipulative in most or their rcla. tionships. In family sirualions, they try 10 form a barrier betwttn lhc molher and her child or childtcn, enabling t.he offenders to

maintain their "sccrtL." When caught, of• fenders "'i ll firmly declare that this was the first lime and lhal it will nc,.cr happen aglllll, "'hen, in fact. they will ha\e a long history or deviant behavior either w1t.h isolated incidents or an oo-ioing stri.og or C''C'nts.

The offending male will attempt 10 shift the blame 10 t.he child's mOlhcr for not be· ing whatever be deems to be an adequate molhcr/ woman, making her feel that it is all somcho"' her fault.

Variety key to C-A 's past, fu ture success

by David Cark huff As Miss Coeur d'Alene and Lewis and Clark come to NIC. h would seem as though winter has IO)I its appeal on the :irts and cn1cnainmcnt ~hedulc.

However, since North Idahoan\ thrive on snow and cold, a rc1rospec:1 over the winter season seems justified.

Again. orchestra and choir director Todd Snyder proved reliable with his prediction or capacity crowds al the Sounds or Christmas programs.

On Feb. IS. the Nonh Idaho Symphon) Orchestra will perform an autumn conccn. The 7 p.m. program was originally scheduled for o,. 19, acrording to Mans.

Another holiday with an important message brought local children to IC. Students in 1he public schools commemorated Martin Luther King Jr. Da) as pan of a rormal program on ca mpus presented by the Roo1coa1 County Tasl.

In the days that followed. music of a wide variety was featured in the C-A Audi1orium. On Jan. 18. Dave Wopat played upbeat. popular music as a oneman band on guitar and synthesizer.

Bumps and bruises take joy out of skiing for some

linette freeman

..

As Sl!angc as it may seem, I always find myself looking forward to spring semester-especially after a month-long Christmas break.

Maybe it's because I enjoy visiting wilh students I haven't seen for nearly a month or maybe I just like resuming my busy schedule.

One of the first thing.s I find myself asking other people is, "What did you do over break?"

Believe 11 or not, seven out of ten people surveyed said, " I went skiing." My immediate response: IS usually a shocked and disbelie,.ing: "why?''

I have been skiing once in m) life and it was a very unpleasant experience. The day started off fairly well but went downhiU from theresomewhat like my poles.

I began the mormng with the standard 45 minute ski lcsson-wluch would have been fi11e 1! 11 had not been conducted on a slope. M) advice to oew skiers is: oever learn on a hill. !:.specially if the technique or ~topping hasn't been mastered because the only 1hing bet-ACCO a skier and that upcommg tree 1~ a p:ur or goggles.

The second thing I had to mostcr wal the chairlift. No11, man)' people may no1 find 1ha1 difficu]t, but I did.

I did fine getting on the chair and riding up the mountam. The pro-

blems arose once I Started to approach lhe top. No one at the bot· tom of the hill told me r had LO jump off the chair. I was under lhe imprcs,. sion that the chair would stop and I could just scoot off. Wrong! Faced wi1h this dilemma I decided that I wasn't going to jump-1'd just ride the chair back down the mountain. l almost made it. However, the chairljf1 operator stopped the lift and backed it up so I cowd get off (I still had to ski down).

One of the nm lessons I learned when aucmpLing my downhill trek was aever put my poles in the snow in an attempt to stop because it on1)• increases the speed.

The next lesson I learned was that the snowplo,,.ing melhod of stopping docs not work The only y.3y for a beginning skier to stop is to fall.

The type of fall is also very important. \\ hen I fell I had to male sure that the bouoms of m) sl.i did not remain touching the snO'A-bccaU!ie I didn't stop-I just continued down the hill on my back pzms at tree tops.

One of the final l~)()O\ I learned before I reached the bottom or the hill "'as 11,hen someone gets 10 the path or a begmnmg ruCT lhe la.st thing the) .stt IS a goggle-garbed human ny10g to11,-ard them at brea L.necl. speed screeching ·•Lool.:out!"

Wb<n I rm.al]> rc:idlrd the bouom of the hill I tooL. an mventOTl or all m) bod) pans. a od upon lliSCO'iet• ing thC') ,,. ere all sull there I decided sl iiog 1,1,-.szi't for me.

I'm sWl v.oodcnng 11.b~ people ab~ tharu.ehcs W.e that.

Poetry Corner RENrEMBERING FORWARD There are times, lately When I sit and just gaze At myself in a mirror And all within and all without Is very still a11d quiet.

At those times, 1 wonder Who that stranger is And where she bad come from And where she now is going.

Then, in that quiet mirrored place Something trembles and almost Can hear the sound of a Slo" approaching step.

Linda Erickson

Untitled Perhaps there will be a time and place For the remembering to happen.

Those deep muddy brown rivers were once Clear laughing droplets jumping speckled And rounded pebbles thal used to be Rough boulders on mountains now become Broad, low valleys where the rivers nm.

All that once crawled now nies over The swimmers now walking on dry la111d.

And the deserts blossom like the rose.

Stars ligh1 the nights until the moon dims The stars and then the sun pales the moon.

Our midday is midnigh1 somewhere far SUL no further than your tomorrow.

Tomorrow l shall suckle my child And stand proud and free beside my mate; For only tonight does old age hold me.

Stupidity can't be passed sexually ~

DEAR NICCI ]

Dear Nicci, A friend or mine has a qucs11on we hope you cnn answer for us.

Is it true that i( you have sexual relations wi1h someone wh o 1s unusally stupid 1ha1 i1 will rub off on you and make you as stupid as that person?

My friend fears that it could happen. And ir i1 docs, is there a wa)' 10 retrieve your intelligence?

Frisky but Wary Dear Frisky, Whtie I don't condone premarital relations, I realize that

a few of our you ng l*)ple engage In sexual activity. Like any actlvl· ty that requires exertion, people

who engage In sexual activity must lake precautions to p rotec t themselves against unwa nted side-effects, s uch as venereal diseases and pregnancie s , etc.

However, s tupidity cannot, so far as I know, be passed lrom, one to another through sexua l activity-although It could be passed on to any offspring.

The only thing that I kinow of that would caus e stupidity, through human relations, Is love.

Love can make most anybody act stupid, as well as Irrational, Ir· rltable and downright goo·fy. As a result, It Is extremely Important tha t It you have sexual relations with som•one, that you guard against falling In love with them-es peciall y It they' re un usually stupid.

Ice fishing on Northern waters

by Darrel BNhner

When the wea.t.ber gcu ice cold in the Land of Lakes, tbc fishing gcu red hot, and local ice fishermen say Ibey arc lir.crally "bringing 'cm io by the budcetful."

The season opened as soon as the ice on area la kes was thick enough to walk on. And despite the recent "''3!1Jl spell, the r..srung remains fantasuc. according 10 the fohermen.

Bob Banta, an NJC bus1t1css maJor who has been ice fuhmg in the area since 1972, uid caLChmg 40 to 50 perch in a sing.le morrung is only the average. ·•uu1 year J put 37 pounds of perch in the frccu:r before the ioe melted," Banta said.

Cory Rust, who works ai a fi.shcrman's ouuiuer in Coeur d'Alene called Fins and Feathers, said different lakes spcciaJiu in different species of rish •·The three mOJJJ lakes where people catch perch are Fernan Lake. Avondale and Hauser;• Rust said Spirit Lake is good for blueback. Rost said. ond the ..chain lake.\" (Killarne).

Medicine. Cave and Thompson !al.es) ore the belt for pike.

One of the best balls for catchifl! perch at Fernan, Rust srud, is a smaU ,llvcr D11d red spinner called a Sv.ed1\h Pimple.

Up for the shot- - Lady Cards practice their winning combination.

A time for stress and a time for release shannon hayward Stress. 11·s a comml)n word in che vocabulary of many students. And ii 's a word I'm becoming more and more familiar with already in 1he ne" cm ester.

Because I got the notion to graduate from IC this spring, 1 dc-cidcd 10 pack in 21 credits 10 my already packed schedule. People ha,e loo~c!d at me and rolled their eres-then 1hey ask me if I'm crazy.

01 the l:ISI 1ime I checked.

One cr.ing I do kno". ho"'ever. is 1ha1 my stress te, el is higher than it used 10 be-in my "pre-school davs." It rises every da}. Some days I f~l ii can't possibl> get any higher.

But I'm ~ure I'm mist.akt..n in that respect. Af1er ~11. isn't that why some people ha-..c strokes and heart :macks?

In an effort to combat my stress. lo.st semester I enrolled in a s,\imm· ing class 10 fill up one of my 1wo re-

quired P .E. crediLS. ot only did I learn proper swimming ccc-bniques, but I found ii 10 be rather relaxing.

In fact, J found it 10 be e:memely rel~ing.

I began 10 look forward 10 each class and found that I re.ally enjoyed taking out my frustrations on the \loater, instead of my family and friends.

1 kicked. I thrashed. I slapped.

And, bo~ oh boy. did I feel better when I left!

In forecasting lhe spring semester. l sa,. the need for a possible stress

release and combed Lhe spring class Listing for a P .E. class that m.igh1 fit m~ mentality-and my schedule.

Tcam sportS really aren't my bag and I'm bored bouncing around in aerobics. I needed a challenge.

Something I had.o't done before.

What I came up with was jogging.

I'll admj1, the first day of class I was proud of myselr. I didn't pass out. I actually ran! And for a whole lot longer than I thought I could (or would).

Whni I arrived home that evening, I was virtually stress-free and rather happy wi th my accomplishment for the day. Images of bigger and bet· 1er things filled my head.

l saw myself coming across the finish line first in e\iery mara1hon known to man. in between the triathlons and the sprinkling of fun runs-just for "fun." And all this extensive "training" eventually led me to the Olympics and gold medals galore. I even beat Flo Jo! Ah, the sruff dreams are made of.

Aren't they "'ondcrfuJ?

Wilderness travelers share experiences

by Rosemary Petersen A Wilderness Odyssey prcsen1a1ion, entitled "A Year In the North-Across Canada by Canoe." is scheduled as a slide/talk show by Marypa1 Zluer and Alan Kcsselheim at noon Tuesday, Feb. 7, in the NIC Bonner Room.

In 1985 and 1986 Zitzcr and Kcssclhcim paddled near· ly 2,000 miles and lived 416 days in the Canadian North.

Their first summer was well-planned because they spent the previous four summers canoeing Canada including Manitoba, Quebec and the Northwest Territories and had to portage (to carry a boat 10 the next navigable water site) only once.

Zitzcr considered it amazing since they traveled over 1,000 miles. Because of the numerous waterfalls and rugged terrain on their second summer trip, they had 10 portage over 30 times. Zilzer said.

In the winter Zitur and Kcsselheim built a log cabin in a rishing village with the help of the Chipewyan Indians near Lake Athabasca. While there, the duo witnessed a herd of I00,000 canbou that took a day 10 pass by.

They also witnessed the killing of a calf by 3 wolf. which then went on his way. Despite this, Ziucr said they loved the wolves and never even thought of fearing them.

On their trip they saw many other forms of wildlife. including musk ox, grizzly and blacl. bear, fox . mink and waterfowl and birds.

During 1he w1mer they spent in the cabin they made plans for the rest of the trip and mode the decision to

follow the Kaz.on River 10 Baker Lake. The village is in-

habited by the Inuit lndwu and 1w become an a.rusts' co-op for their an. "'hid! u mar~eted an o,cr Call3Ah and the Uruted Sutcs.

"Therefore, ASNIC hnd heller prepare for possible legal ac1ion against them "hen they request ru1ure budgets."
