Knren S1ree1er. "The pion would take money away from 1he school for the ne~I five years. bul in 1hc long run ii should benefit 1hc college," S1rcetcr said. Apparen1ly, 1he piece of land (which is ac1uolly a field) on 1he wesl side of Post Falls will soon become host to a Harper's foc1ory, which will in 1uro increase 1he value of the land. she said. The increased ta)( revenue from 1hc ncwly-n.sscsscd value of 1he lnnd will go 10 1hc ci1y of Posl Foils over the next fj\•c years instead of going 10 1hc college. The revenue will be used 10 pay back approxima1ely Sl.2 million in loo ns nnd
bonds secured by lhe city, which will be used 10 upgrnde PoM Falls' indus1~ial area from Chose Road 10 Pleasant View Road. including the nren where 1he factory will reside. After the five-year period. NIC would 1hen receive tax revenues based on 1hc newly a.\sesscd evnlu ntion of 1he land. This process is known as 1nx increment financing. The plan. known as 1hc Wcs1 Scllice Way Urban Renewal Plan, wlll no1 only effecl 1he NIC 1axing district but will include 1hc Post Foils Highway Dis1ric1. lhe Posl Falls Fire Protec1ion Disirict.

The only dis1ric1 included in 1he lisl 1ha1 will no1 be effected would be 1he public school distric1 because 1he s1a1c mando1es 1hc nmoun l of money 1he school di stricts will receive. In ligh1 of the tax increment
financing plan. NIC will open clnsse~ for 1he purpose of 1roin'.ng future l'mployccs for 1hc Hnrper s fac1ory. Apparently. lhe plani will open up some 500 new jobs. NIC's Robe rt Kc1chum heads 1hc new training program. "We're 01 1he srngc righl now where we're 1rying 10 work our 1he smn dnies for 1he classes," Ketchum snid.

Welcome me. Jeske. 10 the Seniinel staff. rl1 be your Choked-Cherry-guide. at least through this semester, I hope! Editor-boss L.V. said anyone who'd actually ask 10 sign 1hc1r name to this column deserves what they ask for. .. namely a job you're never fired from. but only stuck wilh. The monthly C.P. (Cherry Pit) award must be bestowed on our well known, well liked, party animal President of the Democrat's Club, Jason N. He boasted recently of live semesters of service to the club, as well as to NlC. He said he must make an appearance at every pany he knows about, and has even admittedly boosted his GPA up to a 1.9. Are you after professional studem srntus, Jas. or just student of the years? Sorry, you get no cherries from me, only the pits! DATELINE: Wednesday, Jnn. 20. in front of the SUB. The slush-lake at the crosswalks was the scene of a slush-bath for several students who unwittingly crowded the curb and were doused by on amorous lad in his Chevy Nova. It seemed to this reponer that he enjoyed puuing his foot into the carb while taking that lert hnnd tum. Our response to him was unanimous, but not prim able on this page. Oh. "oe, hnnl times have struck again! Our really big boss Nils was O\'erheard counting the days of the month vs his supply of firewood and praying that ii would last until runds might rescue him. Any and all donations of firewood will be greatly opprecioted. You mny drop it off at his office during his normally scheduled office hours. Say, smokers! You are awnre the EPA has classified our second-hand smoke as being ns toxic as asbestos, an:n'1 you? I suggest that if this leads too totul public ban on smoking except in the privacy or our cars. that non-smokers should be required to run a hose from their exhaust pipes inside their cabs. Apparently EPA feels second-hand cigarette smoke is more toxic than car exhaust fumes. Ya. right! If you breathe yours. I'll breathe mine.
I'll cough this cherry up 10 one of NIC's math professors, Bill ;\lben. who said Prc,ident Bill Clinton had already made him mad by sending hi$ daughter 10 a private school. What's wrong with the public schools. he wanted lo know? Through my exten~ivc resenroh. Bill. the best rumor has it that the Secret Service is nfratd to go into the public schools! ! ! Have you heard about the new California wine? It goes like this, .. • I don't like the snow. It's cold. I hmte shoveling my drive . .. Warum."
How long does it take a Californian 10 deal with Idaho's weather'! However long II takes them to move back to California, Why doesn't Nevada slide into Utah? Because California sucks. W e must admit that we reel slightly guilty about bashing Californians, but it') all in good fun , so spare us the nasty lcuers OK?
I'll leave you with this thought ... Did you know that infcnility is not hereditary? until later. JAS '·
'Symptomatic society stupidity' disgusts observing student Editor. Lately it has come 10 my attention that there is a glaring lnck of what is popularly known as common sense around here. Although this may have something lo do with the widely rcponcd drop of in1elligence in America, I think thnt it is symptomatic in a society conditioned not to think, or ot least, not to think for themselves. Supponing this ollegntion is a relatively simple matter for those who are aware of the mindless stream of hairless opes thnt surround them. For example, what is with all these 1>eople who seem to be widely ignorant of 1he prevailing weather conditions? It bafnes me when I see people wearing shorts in freezing temperatures, and it disgusts me to further hear 1hcse self-same morons bitching about how cold it is. Maybe these people are compounded by their own stupidity. An accompanying problem of the weather versus idiots is the slick-ground high -heels (or substitute nny other inappropriate winter footwear here). There must be o very sp.:cinl hell reserved for these fools. or perhaps a heaven, for their falls are the stuff of many hours of comic bliss for many of us shod in a more appropriate manner. This upsurgcncc in foolishness is not

symptomatic of merely some members of the populace coping with bad wardrobe decisions and the weather: no. this is a far more grove situation than just that. We are dealing with idiocy on every level and must repel this assault before we all succumb and begin drooling on ourselves! Last semester I worked for an instructor on campus. As part of my work I graded test papers: without fail, no matter how often instructions were repeated, students would consistently not follow instructions on how 10 fill out their tests. Now this may not seem like lhnt much of a problem, but you try to grade over a hundred tests, scribbled in what appea~ to be crayon. while people ~ign just their first names, dot the i·s with cute little: hearts, and expect a complete stronger to figure out who in the hell they arc among n hundred other students with just a cutely written first name. Come on, folk s. this is college. not kindergarten. Tests arc not love letters, instructors ore not your parents, other students ore not your brothers and sisters. and stupid people ~hould not be at college: they should be advancing them~elvcs with an even more imponnnt role in society. TI1cy need to !corn to ask. "\Viii that be paper or plastic today?" With deep emotionnl pain. Jim Duell

Changing of Sentinel guard creates friesh responsibilities, stirs emotions, relieves strife by Jeff Selle
S,·nllntl reporter lnternol strlre. among other things. led the Sentinel stnff 10 re-organize by opening the ordinarily year -long editorships for reapplication a~cr one semester. Toward the end or 1hc spring 1992 semester 1hc decision was mode on the eduorships. as it is every yeor. During the decision process Nils Rosdnhl, Sentinel advisor, made the spons section a two-editor job by including o recreation section, but each one of the spons editors wanted 10 be in charge. Rosdohl suld 01 the end of the fall semester. not only did the sports editors want to re-npply for their positions. bu1 the rest of the editors also wanted 10 reapply. Rosdahl said ii was necessary 10 have a board of ad"iscrs, as he hod done in some cases before. 10 choose at least the executive editor after five people applied for that position. " I didn't wont it 10 be my choice because I work daily with them."' Rosdahl said. "I didn't want the negative in1crac1ion." Rosdnhl said u\ long as 1hc board was deciding on the executive editor, he hnd them choose the spom editor for 1he same rea~ons. Accordln~ to new Executive Editor Lori Vivian, the re-organization wns prompted by a deal 1hn1 hnd been made between the 1wo cdhors in the spom section. "It was understood 1h01 the sports dcpanrnent was split on a trial basis. but by doing 1h01 they were competing inMcad of working together os a 1cnm,"
Vi"iun su1d . "It really b a bummer becnu~c both Rynn (Uronson) and Dom (Howard) deserved credit for their strengths. and instead they emphasized each others' weaknesses." Vivion wns news editor last semester but applied for executi vc edi tor this semester and got i1. "I almost feel guilty because I am the only person who got exactly what she wanted. But ihen I 1bink, whnt the hellI deserve it," she said. Potricin Snyder agreed 1ha1 the tension in sports was a problem, but she said that she wasn't very happy with her executive editor position either. She applied for and got news editor. ·•11 was n rel ief 10 get ou t of the politics." she said. "I was sick of being in charge with all the cliquishness and back sinbbing going on. Nobody listened to me anyway." Ke,•i n J. Drow n was another candidate for executive editor but ended up as the arts and cntcnninmen1 editor, which is what he did last year. " I don't like the woy it turned out because I've already been art~ and entertainment editor. I've already proved I can do 1hn1 job." Brown said. "I was cheated out of my shot at being executive editor during my last semcstl'r here. ''I'm supposed 10 be making academic progress," Brown added. ''Instead. I'm stuck in a dead-end job, und this is how I'm going 10 linish up my 1ime at NIC doing something I've already done, and done very well, instend of gcuing a chance 10 see if I cnn hnnd le th e responsibilities of executive editor:· Mark Jerome applied for citecutivc

editor and got sports editor in~tead. Jerome said th at he doesn't mind doing sports because 1h01 1s wha1 he wants 10 write professionally. but he said he didn't want 10 apply for the position this semester because he believes ii will take a 101 or work 10 establish a working relationship with the conche~. "There ore a 101 of tensions between the Sentinel and the coaching staff," he said. "Had it not been such a mess. spons would have been my first choice.'' J~rome said, despite the chnllcnge, he thinks he will be able 10 re-establish the relati onship and cover sports in a professional manner. Dominic Howard was the rccreauon sports editor in the fall. He applied for sports nnd executive editor and didn't get either of them, but he still remains on staff as a general rcponer. "I think if either of the spons editors from Inst semester would hove got the sports position the other would ha,•e been extremely angry.'' HownrJ said. "That's why I think Mark got it. That's OK thouih: h just freed me up 10 write more news and stuff." The other cduors chosen were Rich Duggan, who remained photo editor. nnd Bo Mec kel, who re11111incd advertisi ng editor. Ryan Bronson, who wns the spon$ editor. i\ now o general reporter. Rosdnhl said it W,1' unfortunate 1hut there were not enough positions 10 go around because there arc u 101 of wonderful journalim on Maff. "There ore u 101 of third- year students here and not enough positions to go nrQund," R<1sdahl said. "Out of nil the editor candidates I thin!. everyone of them would mnkc a competent editor "

Learning Challenges Students face physical obstacles This is the first part in a series on learning challenges. Stud~nts face learning challenges everyday. For some. there are physical limitations, while others face learning style difficulties. The one thing most students hove in common is a desire to learn to the best of their ability. NIC administration have addressed students' special needs in a booklet distributed to faculty . Eli Ross, special needs counselor, said consideration is given io students who have either physical or learning disabilities that are documented with recommendations from a doctor or psychologist in the field . He said the

documentation identifies the disability, rather than a student saying "I can't pass calculus so I must have a learning disability." "For example, if a student has dyslexia. they can ask for extra time on tests," Ross said. '·If a normal test is 50 minutes. they can be allowed one and a half times the allowed time, or 75 minutes:· He said other services are also available, including a program he is instituting for peer reading. Kristine Wold, adult basic education director, said
James Lawley never gradun1ed from high school. like many teenage drop-outs across the nation. But his education values changed when he woke up from a coma and decided not to give up on life. "I was an idiot for quilling high school," Lawley said. "I didn't think I needed an education. I quit high school 10 go 10 work so I could make some money. But that was my worst decision." Lawley said his life took a tum for the worse when he was in a car accident Iha lefl him in a coma for seven yenrs. Last spring, he enrolled in NIC's Learning Center GED program. Although Lawley is wheelchair-handicapped . has mobi lit y only in one hand, and has a slight speech impediment, it does not stop his desire and dedication 10 learn. "I'm going back to school for as long as it takes," Lawley said. "I wanl to be a more in1clligent person, and possibly go on to more schooling so l can get a job:' He is studying math, English. reading nnd computer app lica1ions. Barbara Connors. on adult basic education ins1ru,1or, teaches his reading class. She said he is very good on 1he computer and has a lot of potential. "Pan of what moth•atcs him is not Above--James Lawley, wanting to be hou~cbound,'' Connors said. GED student, worl<s on "The most wonderful thing about this computer in Leaming center is that it provides a ncxible learning Center. environmem with staff who try 10 provide what the student needs 10 be successful. Devclopmcnrnl education provides James a chance to belier himself." The cente( s GED tester. '·Blackie" Petris, said, regardless of Lawley's learning and physical disabilities, he will be expected to know the material like any other s1udcn1. He snid Lawley can take practice exams to prepnre. but the real problem will be his physical ability to take the tcs1. They may have to use someone to fill in the dots, handwrite what he directs (including punctuation) for essays, and provide cxua time within legal limits. Lawley sail! he knew school wouldn' t be easy, but summed up his motivation by saying, "I don't want to live off the government fore1•er. I can't handle that with what I can do."
the Learning Center can work as a go-between when initiated by the student or instructor. They offer staff to proctor exams for students who need additional time, peer tutoring, peer support groups. sources for taped textbooks, test takers for disabled, audio visual support, computer assisted instruction and learning style testing. "At a community college level, everyone is given a chance to explore their potential," Ross said. "One could say that if you are not at the genius level. theoretically you have a learning disability."
When Mik e Burnell was in the second grade. he was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor on the op1ic nerve and given six months to one year 10 live. Today, at age 26. he is an active NIC student studying child development, with aspirations of having his own child care center someday. "I feel the reason r m alive today i~ because my mom kept me in school." Burnell snid. 'The doctor told her 1he best she could do is keep me home for the six months and just give me love. But a person could die just sining around waiting." Burnell said he is blind in his righl eye and has 5-foot 1unncl vision in his left eye. In 1983. he underwent radiation to shrink the tumor, but two years Inter it was back to the original size. The physical hardship of :iuending college partially sigh1cd is a learning chnllengc. Most students roam campu~ without much thought of where they are gojng, how they will take notes, or minute tasks as paying for a cup of coffee in 1he Sub. Burnell describes his day at NIC. His cup is full or :offee when a pronged indicator plays a melody. He then pays for it with money folded specific:.lly to tell him what denominmion it is. He wnlks down the sidewalk with his white cane to protect him from curbs. He knows what time to go 10 class by using either his braille or talking watch. In class. he reads blackboard notes with a small telescope which he has to set down while taking notes on his mini braille notetaker compuler.
Using only six keys, he is able 10 record .1ny word while the instructor is lecturing. He ha~ n tape recorder for a buck-up. His printer print~ out lecture notes in braille for hirn•clf. or in English for the instructor. He has student, read to him ancl uses icxtbooks recorded on tape. He works in the child care center on a practicum where he enjoys working on project, with the kids. Carol Lincl~ay. director of the Children's Center, snid Burnell i, ~cry open and honest with the children when they o~k him questions Ii kc, "You don· 1 sec becau,c you were bad as a little boy'!" Or, " Why are your eyes broken?" '·He's going to be a wonderfu l teacher," Lindsay said. "He's tal.ing all the righ1 cla,m, gelling experience: he', warm and nurturing. His disability is that he doesn't sec a~ well a< others. not that he doesn't think as well as others." Burnell said he likes to be ueated like any other student, and appreciates students approaching him with a friendly voice, saying "Hi.Mike."
