Fires, power outages bring out the best in local citizens II has been said that it takes a crisis LO bring out the best in people. Attitudes toward helping others often change radically- perfect strangers treat each other like brother and sister: feuding neighbors bury the hatchet, band 1ogc1hcr and deal with the problem that Int~ pn:srntcd i1scl f.

Not in recent memory has this concept of the indomitability of the human spirit. in the Inland Northwest al least, been a~ evident as i1 was in the lires1om1s that ravaged countrysides 111 the o utlying areas of Spokane and Coeur d'Alene.

The incredible force of the winds that imcnsilicd the ,, ildlirc:; was equalled only by 1he fervor with which firemen. homeowneri. and volunteers fought 10 save their own and other~· property. Concerned citizens donated their time. food. clothing and plenty of hot coffee to help the monumental task ~eem a li1tle bit ca~ier. Evacuees found the romforL'> of food. ~helter and a friendly smile readily available- a1 area schooh and other area ~helter.-.

The workmen were aided in their efforts by still more volunteers bringing food. coffee and encoumgemenL The immediacy of these situations ~napped people into the awareness that somebody needed he lp-·and they needed it quickly; it made no difference who they were. where they were from or what they did for a living.

All of thii. camaraderie has to rcaflirm one's faith in fellow human beings. but the fact of the maner i, 1ha1 it shouldn't take n cri ~is to mak«?'I people realize 1ha1 we are all in thii. together.

There are people who need food. clothing and i.helter every day--no !ires. power outages or any crisis other than thL'ir own. peri.onal one are involved. To them. alone. it mu~, be worse.

With the on,el of the cold weather it would be nice to reaffirm ~omcone cl~c's faith in humanity by volunteering some tune, food. clothing or anything you can spare 1hat would make this wint.:r seem a linle Jes~ cold and lonely.

Adulthood holds questions, re,varcts for young student So am I an nduh yc1? Al whn1 poiru in my life am I considered to be an adoh anywoy?

I migh1 have become an aduh when I received my driver's license or when I 1umed 18 or even when I graduated from high school. Bui can I really even pinpoin1 a cenain time in my life when I reached 1hc almighty s1age of aduhhood?

My parents always u~cd to ~ay,"Whcn you start ac1ing like an adul1. you will be trea1cd lake nn adull .. So maybe there i~n·1 a certain time in my life when I become nn adult.

Maybe it 1~ up to me 10 decide when I ,, ant 10 tol..c rcspo11~ibili1y scnou~I) and become a func1ioning pnn Travis Devore of society, yes. a 0cdged adul1.

Opinion A couple or wcel..cnd~ ago I wen1 home for 1he first time ~ince I hnd \U1ncd college. Something occurred that weekend thu1 100!. me by surpri~c. My rcln1ivc, were carrying on convcrsa1io11s with 111c 1ha1 I was not accu,1omcd 10 We actually 1alkcd. We did no1 di sc uss spons or current C\'Cnts or anything like 1h111: we just miked. like a couple of adull~ would.

I was being considered one of 1he adults for 1hc firs1 time in my life. I nm no1 ~aying 1hnt my rclauves ever neglected me. In fac1. they have always treat ed me great, bu1 some1h1ng had changed. and it was a change for the belier.

ru11-

I 1hought I had no1 changed one bit, but for some odd reason my relatives had decided that I had become an adul1. So now wha1 am I going to do?

Should I take that big slep and start playing 1he pan of an aduh. or do I remain the way I am?

I can stay an adolescent and blow responsibility into the wind, or I can make 1he conscious decision to become a mature person tha1 makes wise decisions. yes. an adul1. It would be so easy to s1ay a child. Af1er all, my parents are helping_ me pay for college. I have a place to ~tny during 1hc ~ummcr and I happen to enjoy having a re latively worryfrce life. Bui staying an adolescen1 would be 1he ca)y way our.

Why not take advan1age of 1he fact 1ha1 I am being treated like an adult ? I should do my part in the process of becoming an adult. I should not only be treated like an adult: I should ac1 like an adult.

The saying. "When you Stan acting like an adult you will be treated like an adul1," 1ha1 my parents used 10 say was wrong. lnslcad it should say. "Now lha1 I am being treated like an adull. I bencr sran ac1ing like one."

NIC instructor lives for today, plans for tomorrow

by Amanda Cowley Sentinel Reporter

Go into the Hedlund Building. Go down the hallway. Turn right at room number 107. Follow the hal l. Open the door, and there is found a vast cavernous garage filled with trucks in all stages of undress. Among the many automotive oncndonts will be found the driving force of all this orderly chaosan NIC instructor named Eugene Soper.

"Only my mother calls me Eugene," he is quick to point out. His nnme is Gene. and it 1s immediately evident that this is n person who doesn't stnnd on ceremony.

Soper's hoods-on approach 10 life started when he wns a linle boy in New Meadows. Idaho. "My mo1her ~ay\ I've been a mechanic all my life." He recall\ an incident from his early childhood: "I always h11d cars. I wo~ driving my linle car, up and down the white keys of my mother's pinno (and. believe me. you didn't dare do anything to mother'\ piano) pretending they were n strce1 and driving up the block keys like they were a grease rnck. I remember gett ing swancd for tlmt. and t,) this day. I don't think I wa\ doing any1hing wrong the car; fit so well!"

1l1e foscinotion with meclMn1c:1l obJcc1, kept Soper occupied lluring his i.chool yea!" in New Mcudows. " I used to iake such n nbbmg for being a "shade-Ire<:" mech:mic: well, I didn·1 even have a tree 10 work under. I hod a couple ot big planks laid across 11 ditch. und I could ttel under a \'Chicle by dri\'ing on the plunk~. My neighbors had n 1ripod ..:· ·n,c primitive gnmgc conditions didn't prevent Soper from hnving bought, sold and fixed about 65 cars by the time he hnd gmduntcd from high -;chool. He remembers. "I could afford a car that didn ·, run bl.-cause no one had n use ror it. but I couldn't afford a cnr 1hn1 did run because everyone else could use i1."

Arter high school. Soper went into the construction bus1nes~ for 25 years. and olso. in 1975. begun 1eachin11 pan-time for NIC\ "ocutional program. In 1946. he hnd discovered n passion for aviation 1ha1 he ha$ kept nli ve by involvement in ~uch diverse side c:arccrs as barnstorming in an a,•ia1ion Gene circus, cenification ns nn aircraft mechanic. the director of enienni nmeni for Sih•crwood Theme P.irk's first )Car of opero1ion and a prof.:,\ional ,innounc(r for oirsho"~- Heh~ p.:rsonolly owned o,·er 21different planes.

All 1his oct1,·i1y ha\ been the rc,uh of n pmctknl philosophical a1111ud~. Soper ,ays, 'Tve always Ileen a goalscuer. You have 10 go to your

limit. You have to exceed your limit once in a while 10 see where your limits really are."

Soper readily admits 1h01 when he began teaching he was stretching his own personal limits. He recalls.

"When I first begnn 1eaching, wel l. when I first began, I con tell you what fear 1ns1es like."

The fenr soon translated inio challenge, and. after years of pnn-ume teaching. Soper was asked to work full-time nnd pu1 IOl)Clhcr a new program for NlC diesel mechanics. Soper identifies easily wuh the students that he teache~: "If I hnd been able 10 call my own shots. I would have quit ~hoot in my junior year because II wn.~ such n waste of time for me. It wns so disas~ociatcd from whnt I wn, doing. 1 thinl. that'~ why I succeed at vocationul c:ducmion: I undcNand my kind of people'\ fruMmuon. I ti) tn nc:,.:r tc.ich anything out of contnt, nothmg that·~ ab,1ruc1. If 11 doesn' t upply, it doc~n·1 wamtnl our lime ..

Soper is planning on retiring from teaching this coming summer.

twas a dark and stormy night

by Kevin Brown

Ulosly1esl1nstanl Culture Editor

allowcen itself wears many masks.

A maks of joyous. but still somehow piranhalike. young children roaming suburban neighborhoods. hoarding, absorbing, nnd devouring candy, dressed in costumes ranging from cutesy to grotesque. One year it was Danh Vader striding nround America.. Then II was the Care Bears. Now the Ninja Tunics reign.

A mask of shameless commericalization accompanies those last.

Resinous replicas of Bnn Simpson and Donnie Wahlberg and whatnot seem to gloss over the childhood innocence of the holiday.

A mnsk of homey, homely trudlLlons: carving jack o' lanterns. pumpkin pinups on doors and windows. still more cardboard pumpkins festooning storefronts, Linus' perennial search for the gift-giving Great Pumpkin. The jack o· lantern seems to be an icon for Halloween, as all American holidays seem to require some unconnected, irrelevant object os their focal point.

A mask of cheerful, ominous lore.

Grade-school children rend "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." Wiu:hes und ghosts become ndvenising spokespersons. Sitcoms spew their annual Halloween episodes of not-quite-Gothic humor.

A mask of morl' potent menace.

A mask of horror and macabre, covering, but not quite concealing. n ho~t of foul. venomous creature~.

A mask of c<"rie menace, ab~urdly nssoc101ed with n single evening out of the year.

It didn't stnn out thi) way.

Hallo"ccn's origin~ ha,c been placed some 2.000 year:. at10 ·n1c Celtic fewvut of Samham. ob~crved in ancient Britain nnd lrelund, foll at the end of summer. then considcR'<l to be on or nround Oct 31 Samham. the Celtic lord of death, ~uppo~-dly

allowed the spiri1s of the dead 10 return 10 their homes on this evening.

The festival of Sam ho in wns th e lime 10 plnca1c eanh's supernaturnl powers nnd various deilies. Though some had more than placation in mind. lighting huge bonfires on nearby hills to fend off evil. Oddly enough.

1his time of year. the In a11 assembly of beginning of the coldcs1 season-the season of pha11tasms such dea1h, by their own philosophy-was as I have pai11ted, 1hough1 10 be n it may well be favorable 1ime for marriage. luck. supposed that no health ... nnd death. ordinary This was the only day of the year 1hc dcvirs appeara11ce could help was enlisted to have excited such funhcr such purpose~.

Though llollowccn se11satio11. In truth wns not known ns such the masquerade in days of yore. the seculnr obscrvnnce~ of liscense of the the holiday were night was nearly practiced througho111 the unlimited...

Celtic world.

In lrc:land. people begged for Edgar AJlen Poe, food in a parade "The Masque of honoring the god Muck Olin. In Sco1land. the Red Death" Celts practice<i the belief April 1842 of lighting bonfires to - - - - - - - - - frighten the spints. In Wales, the people held :i ceremony in which every person in the 1own. city, or whn1evcr would mark n stone with 1heir name nnd toss it in10 the local bonfire.

If the person·s stone was missing the next day. afterthe fire hnd burned out, that unfonunate was said to die within a year.

Not all the customs were a.~ gruesome. Ano11k!r Sconish tradition called young people to !!alhcr for !!Omes to de1ennine which of them would marry in the comin!! year. and in whni order.

Halloween, also called All Hallows· Eve or Evening. wa.s mainly mtroduced by Irish immigrant, in the late t 80(}... The event quickly

became popular as a ~eculnr holiday. thou!!h 1he mischief-making was somcumes scvcre-brol.cn windows and ovcnurned ou1buildin1!S were common.

The American tradition of carvingjnck o· lnn1erns came down from Irish and Sconish trod11ions of carving ~im1lar thing~ from native gourds and turnips. TI1e American pumpkin quickly replaced them ~ the vegetable of choice for demonic carvings.

The concept of lhe jack o· lnn1crn 1s rooted in Irish legend. /\ccordinp 10 the lengcnd. o miserly man named Jack wa.s denied entrance 10 heaven.

Ethiopian brings fresh perspectives to NIC

by Amanda Cowley

Sennnel Repc)tlet

Shan1anu Roy is new 10 Coeur d'Alene. new 10 North Idaho nnd new 10 lhe Uni1ed S1t11es Shanlanu Roy is of Indlan na11onali1y. a Hindu of 1he Brahman cas1c ond mos1 recently from Ethiopia.

Al1hough Roy's po~sport is lndinn, he was born in E1hiopio. His fothcr worh for 1hc United Nations as a biology instructor in the interootional school system 1h01 has been set up to leach 1he children of hs employees. This job has given Roy the opportuni1y 10 live in many ei.olic locales.

Af1er being born in Ethiopio, Roy moved 10 Singapor.:, Japan. Korea. T:iiwan. Germany, England. Sweden. Norway, ltaly and then b:ick 10 Ethiopia. As a resuh or 1he muhi· cultural chmmc, he has learned to ~peak Sanskrit. Hindi. Bengali, Amhoric (E1h1opian) and a liule Joponese; he also unders1ands Cnn1onl'SC, Spanish, halinn and Swnhill no1 10 memion being perfoc1ly nuen1 in English.

His root$, however, are firmly pl.imed in lhc rich cuhural hcri1agc of lndi11. As 11 young boy brought up in the .Brabmin tradition, Roy's fa1hcr taught him Snnskrit, the cla$sic Old lnd1c litcrury lnnguuge 1ha1 has !>(en cul1ivn1ed since the 1hird ceniury B.C. Roy say~. "I was tough1 Snnskri1 - 10 write ii onJ 10 read it - bt.'CJUSc my father believes 1hot herhage nnd cuhurc nee very important for o perwn. He says its his duty to teach 1he heritage.'' Roy point~ out that Brnhmin mean~ "u seeker of knowledge."

Part of the Indian heritage hn.( been on embracing of the Hindu religion by Roy. "In India.· he (ay~. "we ho,·c cer1:1in boundru,~. like m religion. there ,~ a set of codes 1hat says 1h01 if you want 10 follow them you will lead a hnppy life. People don't und~rstand it, they say it'~ \'Cry ~tril'I. but in reality it's not. It's not e,,en n religion: ~ically it\ a w:iy of life. 11 wn of phiJO(Ophy .~ Roy points out 1h.i1 the most imponont 1hin1,s 10 hi~ father, and to m!l'lt 1rndi1lonal Hindus. ore hh family and hi\ honor.

Speaking of this, Roy says, "If his family 1s in any way dishonored. there .ire no boundarie) 3.\ to what he would do to get the honor b:ick. For instance. If something like rape h3ppc~d, then $0meone from thlll family has to rc~tore the honor by any menns; u~ually it is by spilling blood.''

Unlike America. the Hindu society is not an mdividualistically-oricnted society.

Roy ~ys, "People $ay that ils your life and you should do what you want. Well, yeah, but the basic quest is for happiness in everyone, at least I believe that, and to

aunin happiness it'~ belier not 10 inflict pain. When you try to he very liberal :ind 'free'. you tend to hun people which causes a contradiction. So. whatever ~•ep thnt you want to talc, check with everyone else and then. if it's okay with ncryonc else, do it."

Roy says 1h01 an aspect of American society 1h11t was also different, and sltocking, 10 him wa~ the rudeness of American youth to their parents, their slowness in growing up and their di~re.~pect for money. He says that he is cxpec1ed 10 be [!rown up at eighteen and to lcavr "childhood and childish things behind.'' He also says 1hm he couldn't even conceive or insulting his father. He olso wns always e~pcc1ed tu recognize the importance of money and to pay for anything that he brok('. "Mon~y." he says. "i~ not for JUSl thmwing away."

Another di ffcrcncc is the extended family conct:pl 1ba1 is basic 10 Indian thinking. "Usually. the son smys home with the family for un unlimited time, and the daughter usually gets mnrried and goes 10 her husband's home. Till' boys usuolly stay... It'~ a bad thing for us if your parents have to go to nn old people's home. It's a disgrnc.:," Roy say~.

When asked if he plans 10 continue in the 1rndi1lonal llfe or his Hindu parents. Roy s3ys,"I will gc, home becuuse I r.:t!li1.e 1ha1 iny folks have sacrificed l'nough for 1hc family. The rule is; You gi\'t ev~rything 10 your son, you hold nothing back and l'vcn1ually the son will give to you back.

It's a kind of give-and-toke method that is not \'Cry applicable here - it's very differ.:nt. I like my dad. I'll give back 10 him - that· s for sure.''

Hb plnns for returning home (that is, 10 whatever country hi\ parents ore currently residing in) and returning to a time-honored lifestyle will bt delayed by the study or comput~r engineering ot the colleges in 1his country. Roy found II quick and Ja.~1,minutc welcome 01 NJC after having mis5cd his scholarship~ for other colll'gcs becau~ of having to evacuate from Ethiopiu on ac~-oun1 of a rcvoluuon.

Roy odds a different lifts1yle and way of 1hinking to NJC's campu~. but parts of has oodrock philosophy will probably strike many as familiar. "It is said." Roy muses.

"1hn1 lhis world is a maucr of oc1ion and renc1ion. What you do now will affect you later, and if you tend to be a good person, it all add( up - it ne\'er gOtS ag:iinst you:· Roy adds with a grin and a shrug, "I also do thing~ that go agwnsl what I tiellrve 1n; h happens."

BRODIE from Page 7 Gunter recently gradumcd from LCSC as a communicu1ions major and now works for a newspaper ond radio station in Sandpoini. " f look forward to working with Rarick whenever I can. He is, I think far and away the most talented director an the Inland Empire." Gunter said.

Koren Bowers plays the lead character. Miss Jean Brodie. Bowers began her acting career in elementary school, ond topped off her education with a bachelor of fine ans degree from UCLA. About 11 years ago, Bowers go1 inio ac1ing in Sandpoint, where she performed in numerous plays. She 100k over management or 1he Panida Theater in Sandpoini about four years ago.

"She (Jean Brodie) sees herself as a teacher, but she's really more or a dic1a1or. She wanis 10 be in control: mold her girls 10 the way she sees them: give them their ideals. Her truth is really the only truth that exi~1s, and she passes 1ha1 on to her girls," Bowers said.

Bowers also describes Jean Brodie as believing she is "above common moral code." The schoolgirls. Monico. Mary. Sandy and Jenny (Brodie's "pets," or "Creme de la Creme") ore "all facets of her ideal self," Bowers said.

Also. Bowers commented, Brodie doesn't realize how she affects people: she loses everything. yel doesn't rcoliu whnt she has done.

Costumi11g Christine Smith. a Coeur d'Alene resident, has been hired bv NJC's theater department as a guest artist for the costuming of the play. ' In the past, Smith has cons1ruc1cd costumes for plays 01 NIC and numerous other 1heo1ers.

After she received a cenificate in costume construction from 1he School or Drama at Yule University, Smith worked at the Wintergordcn Theater in New York City. There she designed costume$ for the play Othello, with Jomes Erule Jone:. and Christopher Plummer.

Smilh moved 10 the Coeur d'Alene area when her husband took nJOb in Twin l,nkes.

For "The Prime of Miss Jenn Brodie," Smith is constructing uniform~ for the schoolgirls and o few members of the school's staff and fnculiy.

"I lnlf or the girls ogc about 9 years. which can present a co~1um1ng difficulty." Smi1h said.

'1'hc girlr uniforms reflect how conservn1ive the school is while they also (like all uniforms) portray conformity and detract from an individual's uniqueness:· Smith explained.

Miss Brodie is a teacher 01 a conservative school, yet she is romantic and flamboyant. To her uniform-type dress she adds scarves Md other bright colored accessories. Brodie lights up the stage IL', a conmist lo lhe other characters, Smuh said.

A few items hove been borrowed for the producuon of 1he piny, Smith Stoled.

A Scouish kilt ou1fi1 is being borrowed from fames Mcl..A:od. an English instructor atNIC.

Accent Coach Gino Perry, n native ofSco1lond, born and raised in Gla.sgow, ,s the Scouish dialect coach for "Th<' Prime of Miss Jean Brodie." II wa.s by coincidence that she became 1he dialect coach. Perry recoils.

As n transfer s1uden1 at NIC, she ran m10 problems trnnsfcrring 1he credits she earned in California to credits earned here, Perry said.

Particulorly. in an a11emp1 to receive credit at NIC for a '1'hta1er 105" course she took in California. Perry wcn1 10 talk 10 Rorick. When she wen1 10 discuss her concerns wi1h Rorick, he asked her where she was from, ofter hearing her strong accent. Rarick proceeded to 1ell her nbout the play being rehearsed ond how the characters had to perform wi1h a Scottish nccen1. Rorick asked if Perry could help out and she agreed. Perry said.

Since then. Perry recorded instructional tapes for Rarick. talked to 1he perforniers during a few theater classes and auended some rehearsals.

"I think they're doing an excellent job rolling their R's 1he way 1hey're supposed 10," Perry added.

Snyder's return as conductor appreciated thoroughly basic tune and bounced i1 around to differcnl instrumen1s a.~ it slowly. ever so slowly. built up. adding more instrument~. until 1he entire orchestra was involved which precipiintcd lhc dima,.

'1l101's what I call a slow bum," commented a listener.

Anticipation electrified the air as the audience wailed with baled brca1h for 1hc "Symphony No. 3 in C minor, Organ Symphony" by Camille Saini-Saens 10 begin after intermission.

The orchestra was wonmng up. each plt1ying his or her own tune when the head violinist stood up and each sec1ion tuned 1heir ins1rumcn1s. All was quic1. Time wenl by. No1hing happened. Af1er a long pause, there was n ~1ir in the orchestra when several musicians joined the group.

Silence fell again. No1hing happened.

"Where is the penguin mnn wi1h 1hc ~tickr' a child's voice quipped from 1he bJck of 1he auditorium. A ripple of laughter moved through the crowd und then ... silence reigned again.

I begon to wonder if Snyder was plying his grc:11 sen1>e of humor. like 1hc time he directed the Chrisuna.\ conccn wnh u candy cane. when he s1cppcd on siagc. cau\ing a srnnlcd applou~c. Bowing and smiling, (did I ~cc u 1wlnklc in his eye?) Snyder sicpped up 10 the podium and again bo!came ma\lcr of the music.

Oo1h movemcn1s of 1he orgun symphony were moving but ii is a wonder 1hn1 lhe organist didn'1grow cobwebs. It sounded more like an orchcs1ro with orgnn backup ra1hcr than the reverse. I wonder why they cnll 1hc work on Organ Symphony und use so linlc orgnn in it?

Thunderous applause followed the end of the concert and did not stop until Snyder came out for another bow. The orche~1ra refused to s1and wi1h him umil he bowl'd ngnin.

Mu$ic enthusiasts met in Boswell Auditorium. 8 p.m. Oc1 12. to hear the North ldllho Symphony Orchestra's first concert or 1he season nnd 10 welcome hack conduc1or Todd Snyder.

Music with n French nair was in1roduced by Gene LeRoy, NIC French ins1ruc1or. Mter 1he nowcry moving speech. the lights lowered. Snyder walked on stage. sttpped up to the podium, roised his baton and the concert began.

The first piece. "Overture to Orphcu~ in the Underworld" by Jacques Offenbach. is the popular piec.: used for the dance called the "Can Can." The rollicking, mo, ing music kept everyone on the edge or their scats, and I kepi looking for lhe line of chorus girls kicking acro~s the stage.

by Dominic Howard Senbllel Reporter

nc of the most accomplished wres1lcrs in the hi5tory of the United Stales, John Smith, will lead an nll -stnr squad of Amencans into nction against a 1eam representing the Soviet Union in a World Wres11ing Freestyle Dual Meer tha1 will be held in NIC's Chris1innson Gymnasium on Tuesday, Nov. 5, nt 7 p.m.

Toby StewanJ, whose job is to put on USA event~ for in1emntional spons. go1 1hc wrestling match 10 be held a1 NIC by bidding S5.000-outbidding Oklahoma Cily nnd Bnkcrslicld. Calif. Numerous letters from NIC's President C. Robert Benne11 nnd wrestling coac h John Owen also helped persuade 1hc commi ttee to have lhc event held nr NIC. The eveni is a bonus 10 NIC wrestling for ils long reign of championship seasons and dominnrion of 1he spon for the pas1 20 years. nnd is a great way 10 e~ posc 1he Nonhwest to the rest of lhc USA. Owen said. The athletes will be staying al th~ Coeur d' Alene Reson counesy of 1he NIC Athle1ic Department. NIC Athletics will get 50 percem of all ticket sales and I00 percent of all concessions.

The USA team wi ll be couched by Owen. With :1 few exceptions, Owen will be: couching a team that probably will represent the USA in the 1992 Olympics, in Barcelona. The 1eom won't be linnl umil next spring.

"This is 1he b1J,!gcs1 event ever in Coeur d' Alene and I am very excited to be a pnn of ii, especially coaching i1. and it is grea1 publicity for NIC." Owen said.

One definite wrestler that will be on the ·92 team is Smith. Smith is the best wrestler in the history of the spon from the USA. He has won five coMecutive world championships. the gold medal in the '88 Olympic Games in Seoul, is a 2-ume gold medalist in lhe Pon American Games and was the winner of the 1991 Sullivan Award or Athle1e of the Yenr in the USA. The Sullivan Award is given annually to America's top amateur athlete. Smith is the lirst wrestler to ever get the award in its 61 years of existence. He will be representing the USA in the 136 pound class. Smith is currently the assistant wres11ing conch at Oklahoma State University, which is how he stays in shape for his matches.

The match will also feature former NIC wrestler Pat Whitcomb. Whitcomb. who is now conching wrcs11ing at Kellogg High School, was a two.time No1ionnl Champion nt the 190 pound cl115s in "86 and ' 87 and was voted the Most Outstanding Wre stler of the ' 87 Notional tournament.

Championships and will compete at the 220 pound class.

"I'm really excited about wrestling the Soviets becouse it is my first international compe1i1ion and it i~ against the best,'' Whitcomb soid.

Smith and Whitcomb will be joined by 1988 Olympian Tim Vanni, 1990 silver medalist Royce Alger. Bruce Boumganner. who won the gold in ' 84, the silver in ' 88 and has won 10 U.S. National Championships and one world chnmpionship, or Mott Ghaffari, who is an emerging star in the heavyweight division in both styles of Olympic wrestling- freestyle and Greco-Roman, will be representing the U.S. in the Heavy weight division. A choice ns to who will wrestle 1n the heavyweight class. Baumgartner or Ghnffori, is yet 10 be announced.

The USA tt'am will be going up against the wrestling power of the world. The So,iets have dominated the spon the past few years and arc the favorites. However. the USA has a good chance of b.:a1ing the So,·iets with the 1nlen1ed Smith lending the wny. The Inst time the U.S. and 1he Soviet team met was at the 1990 Goodwill Games in Seattle. This even1 marked the first rime the So\'ie1s had lo~t in an in1emntional tournament in 30 year... Se,eral of the wrestl~rs from 1har squad will be wrestling at NIC on Nov. 5 Whcn e,•er 1hc Americans and 1he So, iets mee1 in any athletic c,•cnt anything can happen becnu~e their countries pride is at siak Owen said.

"Once the wresllers rnke lhe mot lhc intensity level be so high it will be unbelie,•nble," O"'cn said.

The winner of this e,·ent will hove n shgh1 psychologicnl advantage going in10 1he · 92 01) mpi~ Owen said. That is why this is such a big event and bo1h tellJ!\S will send their very best to try to gain 1hat advantage prior to the '92 Olympic game\. There will be two meets 10ml in 1he U.S.. one at NIC and the 01her in Orl,mdo. Fla Accorlling lo Owen. 1hc biggc51 reason 1he So,•1ets are

coming to America is because of the SunklSl Open lntemntional Tournament in Phoenix, ,vhich features the best wrestlers from countries oil over the world.

TI1c Soviets will be arriving in Coeur d' Alene on NO\', 3 ond leaving Nov. 6. While they nre here they will probably do some shopping al the local pawn 5hops bttause they love to shop and have very little money to do so. To get money 10 ~hop they will sell some of their own possessions. according 10 S1eward.

The Soviets All·stor wrestling team will be led by two 1991 world chnmpions in Vougar Orudjiev in the 105 pound cln~s and Sergei Snml in 1hc 125 pound clru.s.

Anyone can make winning a habit When asked if people would rather win or lose. most say they would rnthcr win.

Everyone wants 10 win. Winning is the basis of life. It is happiness. ,•inuc. excitement ond ~a1idac1lon. It is what makes 1he world go 'round.

Winning is cverytlung.

Lo,in11, on the other hand, is jus1 thl.' opposi te.

Nobody wants 10 lose. In fact. the main rc:ison . people wanl 10 ,,,,.._...,.,_____ win l$ bccausc ~~ Bronson they ha1c 10 lose.

Opinion II reprc,ents 1hc moM painful pan of human societ) . If losing didn't e,ti~t. lives would be sa,·cd. ~an• would be ine, itnble and c,•eryone would b~ dri, ing a Rolls Royce Yet. we must not ponder on subjects thnl are strkll~ ludicrous, tr nobody ever 10,1. lhcn nobody "ould ever win. So whm doe\ 11 mean to win'>

The word "win" is simpl y stated as "Achieving victory over others in a competition." In order 10 fully understand th is defini1i on one most understand 1he words of 1hc definition...Competition'' is a word used 10 describe a contest of skill.

Therefore. those with the most skill achieve victory. or in other words. those are che people that win. This defini tion isn't satisfying. Sometimes people that are less skilled win anyway. Desire, hard work and luck arc also factors in winning.

Spons mny be the simplest form of winnin11 and losing. Winners are detemiined b>· who has the most points. Ahhough spons nrc fun and c~c:iung. a1 the end of the year only one tenm is 1hc victor and all other 1coms orc losers. Mnny teams have never won championships, bu1 players lake che chance of losing over and over in order 10 win ii nil. Thot"s proof 1h01 winnin11 is the grea1es1 feeling on eanh.

Winning mu,1 no1 be a temi e.,clusively limited to ~pons Winning and losing npphes 10 e,·cf)•1hing you do. Winning rt'llll)' ha.\ no sec definition. W111ning is defined as what

each person defines it as. A man in a wheelchair wins when he simply accep1s his disability. A person who once was illi1e.ra1e wins when 1ha1 person learns how to read and write.

With the theory of what I call "self. winning." cvdryone can sec reachable goals and achieve those goals. Each goal reached is a ,•ictOf)'. When 1he goal is reached. one ca n set yet another reachable goal and eventually make winning a habit. Selling your goals 100 hil,!h can lead 10 losing sci f. esteem (which we·ve all been through) and can make you give up 100 early on any other goals you might have. Se1 new and reachable goals and be a con$iStcni winner.

Knowing and understanding how to be a winner is good for you. bu1 whot is the uhima1e ,>ic1ory? Possibly the modest way to dei.cribe on ultimate v1c1ory would be to help people close 10 you achievt their goals.

Easier said than done. People worry so much nbou1 their 01> n dreams and goals that they can hun people 1ha1 they mill} care about. li"s sad that some people don't reali1.e their >ellhhness un1il n's 100 ln1c.

W111ning 1S whn1 you want ii 10 be.

Nobody controls your destiny except yourself. Helping others 10 be winners is on accion 1h01 can't be done by occident. Sening goals for yourself and others thnt nrc realistic will make winning a habit.

Decide what winning means 10 you and how you can become successful in your own mind and 1he minds of others. Dccid.: what happiness means 10 you and what you can do to make others happy. Decide. because sadness creeps like dark fog. indulging on anything or anyone, making ii impossible 10 see ony1hing but darkness. It eats you r dreams and goals and then gradually goes away. It leaves o scar. or a memory. to remind you ii was there and 1hen gives you another chance Nobody's perfect, and everyone deserves a chance 10 change. Learn from your losses and don'1 use up your chances. bccaust once they're gone. they're 11one for good. ln light of 1h01. ! leave you 10 cogitate on a quote gh•en by the owne r of 1he L.A.
