Welding program returns to campus; Hedlund Building Schematic released

by Sherry L. Adkin~ Se111mel Reporter The welding program will be back on campus and nil non-rechnical classes "ill be removed from the Hedlund Building, according 10 a Ilediund 13uilding Decision Schematic handout circulated at the Mlllth 29 NIC Board ofTrusrccs meeting.

The handout. which covers an either-or siluntion nnd seems 10 skin health issues, will take effect next semester nnd is comprised of two parts. Oasically. the plan is split into rwo unspecific layouts.

After removing all non-technical classes and rehousing the welding program, results nre nnticipnred 10 go one or two wnys.

First, if no health problems are experienced by the technical programs, the administration will wait 10 reoccupy rhe classrooms and offices closed due 10 prior health concerns until a "deliniti\'c cause/cure for henlrh problems is found,'' according 10 rhc handout.

On the other hand. if staff or students of applied rcchnologr cla.,.~c~ bcgm 10 experience heullh problems, rhen the Srntc Oepnnmunr of Vocarional Educn11on/S1n1c Board of E.du,.i1ion will be a~kw 10 provide emergency funding 10 move all remnining programs. sroff and student, out ,,f the building ton new loc:uion, according to rhc hilnd,11 t. Options include lensing space off campus, moving pMgrum\ into the old Armory Building or con~trut ti1111 1 new Applied Technology Building.

Anothc · ()~lion would be 10 reoccupy the building nfrer all "s H tll.'CI" progmms have b.!en removed and "~arefully nm,111or activirics."' according to the administratl\ e handout.

Finolly, I no h(ahh problems are rcpone<I. the Hedlund Ot·ilding could be r.:modcled, perhaps even as a non-applied redmology space nod urilited as u classroom building n., cull~'<! for in rhc NIC Strategic Plan, another adminis1m1ive answer for scarct' classroom space.

On rhe other hand, if heahh problems are reponed after non-tcchnicol program, 11re removed lhen lhe administration· s schematic plan calls 10 abandon the Hedlund Building completely until a ''definitive cause/cure is found or rear down rhe building and free the site for possible future construction."

Trustee Norm Gissel was r.:ccprive 10 the plan bur voiced the same opinion at Wednesday's meeting thnt he held Inst month. '"I still wish I hod my bulldozer," he said. "We could scule this once and for all."

by Christopher Clnnry Stnrintl Reporttr Wilh a suet'cssrul c:iret!r in state and local politics and law spanning nearly rourdecadcs. J. Ray Cox may be considered GJ110ng the ranks or NlC' s most innucntial and well known alumni members.

Cox attended a ,-ery different NlC from lhc one that we know today. Only n year before his graduntion in 1950. Cox and his clOS!:mates attended classes in lhe Old City Hall building. It w1tsn'1 until Christmns break some 46 years ogo that lhc college took up its present location on the old Fon Grounds, Cox said. The move was conducted as a volunteer effon- unusual by today· s Mandards. he said. ''All or the siudcnts. ~Ulf'f and everyone moved everything.'' during one day, said Cox. ·111cn that night. we had our Chrisunns pany in lhc new building."

In 1950 there were no more than 300 students enrolled at lhc college, only about one tenth or NIC's present enrollment. It wns mlhis lime Cox wa.~ elected s1uden1body president, one or many elected positions 1h01 he would hold during his career.

Cox went on to enroll at the Uni1·ersiry of Idaho where he studied law and served yet another tcm1 as student body president in the fall of 1952. In 1953 he received his degrue in law from the U or I and opened a law practice in Coeur d'Alene al 516 Shennan Ave. Ultcr he bought the building that housed his office:, ns :1 pemmncnt lnw practice for 20 years. selling it only a fow years ago to go into ~mi- retirement.

A!. time wcn1 on Cox ronned pannerships with several d1ffercn1 nttomcys including Bob Brown, Dmd Stodclnrd and Penny Davis. who presen1ly SCI' cs as n Smte Senator illld Minority Leader in the ldal10 State Legislature.

Cox had his own e~pcrience as a Staie lcgisln1or when he ran ror and won three 1em1s as an ldnho Smtc Seno1or. In 1962. during his thin:l tcnn, Cox nlso held the position or minori1y ICJdcr.

uuer Cox ran for the position or ;\uomey General but was defoatcd. In 19n he began ye1 nno1hcr S;Cncs or succe~~ in his political career with his appoimmenl 10 the posilion or chaim1an or the Bonn:! of Idaho Smte Personnel, supervising all civil service jobs in Idaho ond seuing the salnnes or state workers and classirying those posi1ions. A li\'e-pcrson commincc sclccls a new choir every ycnr. Cox was selected ns chninnnn ror IOcon,;ccu1ivc 1enns.

In 1974 Cox mn for the U.S. CongrCI>$ bu1 wa.~ defca1ed.

Then in 1hc laie ·80s he served on the Idaho S1mc llonrd of Education.

"We oversaw ihc whole cducmion syMcm. working with the S1n1e Department of Educmion. We oveNw the nppoin1men1 or administration m Idaho college:. and univ~rsi1ics. hired presidents, de1cm1incd budge1~ and sci policy for the opemuons or universi1ies and 1he public school~:· Cox :.aid. " I wtL, involved with that for about lhrce and a hnlfycars."

In his cnrccr ns a lo,vyer. Cox has liles with case numbc~ in lhc 4.000s. illustrating the vasl experience he's hod over lhc years as an ldal10 anomey.

The 1972 Big Creek Mine Fire presented CoA with an opponuni1y 10 rep=m ~ome 52 familic.~ or 1hc miners killed in lhe blaze. The case which took si~ years 10 come 10 trial nnd nearly seven months to scnlc. resuht'd in whm Cox said he fell was a" subsU1111ial recovery for the widow\ or 1hc lire."

'Tom was the most imponnnt ca.w I've ever been involv~'<l in," Cox said.

Being an attorney, Cox said, c:in bc u rewording cnrccr no1 only rrom a limmcinl Mmnlpoi111 but oho from n moral one.

"Ir you wan1 to so: justice being done. it eon be very rewarding.'' Cox -.aid.

When ~kcd about any po~iblc advice tha1he might have for s1udcnts hurboring pre-law ambition~. Cox i.aid 'The practice oflaw is a demanding lield, but can be a very rewording one. But. it's al;o a lot or hard work. Law St'liool i~

FEARSOME FISH STORIES A Sentinel staff member sets out on a journey to discover the secret belonging to an aggressive fish that has captured the interest of area fishermen:

story and photo by Mory Arklonder Stmin~I Reporter Last Saturday afternoon I headed 0111 to find some pike fishenncn. Wolf Lodge Boy wus my first store. Several bouts were out In the wnter. i1Jld about seven people were fishing from the bank. Most of them were fishing with smell but hod nol hnd any luck yet and said the fishing go1 bener in the evening. just before dark.

From there I went to the Mbsion Slough, next 10 the Cataldo Mission. On the way I stopped by the Rose Lake General Store to take a look at Ono's mount. Ono did a beautiful job on the mount: r could sec just how ferocious the pike's teeth arc after u closer look at the mount. While I was there. Joshua Nafusal said he hnd caught about a 5pounder out of Oull Run L.1.ke on a Orange Delly Rapallu. \Vl)cn I arrived nt the Mission Slough about five people were fi~hing, having no luck. Dean Legard from Coeur d'Alene brought up a good poi111. He hopes 1h01 people out fishing need 10 remember 10 1>ick up their garbage and not 10 litter. Legard hod spent pan of his time cleaniqg up the tr.1.!ih in the area he was fishing at. "fhe ducks nnd birds get all tongled up in the di~regarded fishing lines and plastics that arc lincred," he said. "We need 10 have more respect for our land and wildlife."'

I went by Wolf Lodge once more before dark. and Rick Main was j~t catl¡hing his first pike. The pike wn.~ about 22 inches and didn't give him much ofa fight. While picking it out of the net, he got his linger cut on the sharp teeth of the pike.

He had never done thir, before so I told him to stick his fingers in the cy~; thh pnrnlyzes the fish. The fish froze up, and he was able 10 take 1.he hook out with a pair or

needle nose pliers.

Sunday I went out 10 Cougar Day. The people were out in drove:. on n beautiful dny. While I was 1hcre no one had caught nny yci nnd it wn.~ about 5:30 p.m.

Roger Orockhorf, NIC maintenance crew chier. said 1h01 he had caught one about 11 1n pounds. Of course, I couldn't get a location out or hun; he was protecting his favorite spol.

Pike li~hing can be n lot of fun, and when the weather wrums up they began 10 get more ncuve. It was great to see the ~evcral familic~ and couples out enjoying fi:.hing.

These pike can be a lot or fun 10 catch, but people need 10 remember 10 be ~Xtrcmcly careful picking them ou1 of the ne\ and removing the hook.

They're ferocious as they lay in wnit 10 ~nvagely nuack their prey. The pike arc not a native fish of North Idaho: they were brought in and planted in sel'ernl or the lakes. â&#x20AC;˘ The pike fish hus made its mark in the lakes nnd rivers of Nonh Idaho, be it friend or rOI!. Pike hnve begun 10 dominate an?n rivers and lakc:s due 10 their size and population.

Pike con be described as being very vicious in appearance and habits. Their teeth are rll.LOr sharp. (Never put your bare hands in their mouths when removing a hook). They have long green-gray bodies with darl. markings thnt help conceal them in the weedy waters of Nonh Idaho. Their nose has a snout-like appearance, nnd they have a very glunonous appetite.

Pike will e;it almost anything 1hu1 passes in front of their territory when the water conditions have wanned up.

They hove be.!n known 10 cat frogs, birds and other small animals that approach 100 closely. A pike can grow over 4 foet and weigh over 40 pounds. However. a I0-pounder 1s

considered a good catch.

I visiicd the notorious lishcnnen in the mnintcnnnce depnnmcnt of NIC 10 get the facts (fish stories) on these pike.

Oob Ono b n mnintenuncc mechanic 01 NlC nnd has been fishing for pike since they first appcnrcd in our lakes nnd riwn.. Ono enjoys fishing the chain lnkes or Ro~e.

Kilnrney, Medicine, Olack. Cave and Swan, but has also fished Ilic surrounding lllkcs in our area. He has pnnicipated in :.cvernl fishing 1oumnmcnts. Ono said that pike fishing is o year-around activity.

The maintenance crew all had their favorite lakes. but Cougar Boy St'Cmcd 10 be the hot spot. Thom~on Lake w115 also n popular spot. It seems a retired co-worker caught a pike out of the lake while ice fishing. h wi.L!, ~o big that by Ilic time he got it out of the water the pike had lost thr~-e or four pounds due 10 the hard struggle. 1l1cre arc pike in almost every lake, so it's actually the fisherman\ preference as 10 which one you feel 1110~1 comfonoble fishing.

When Ono was asked about tl1.: bait used he replied, "Most people use smell , but my favorite 1~ 1he cordcll spot (ranle Ir.Ip)." The rest of the mnimennncc crew wa\ pretty closed-mouthed, as no110 give away any of their secrets.

"MoM people fish with smell when the wa1c~ are cold. because the pike ore moving very slowly," Quo said.

"Spinners and lures arc fas1er ond usually work bcner in wanner water."

Ono is also n taxidennist nnd h~ mounted a few pike:.

"I mounted two that were almost identical in siu; they bolh were about 45 inches long," Ono said. One of these mounts hangs in the Rose Lake General Store and the other at Nonh West Timber.

Lady Cardinals attempt ta rebuild after·tough regional tournament Crimp looks toward next year after puzzling over team 's inability to gel at end of season

by Chtyennc l\lahncke Stntintl Reporter

For the Nonh Idaho College women's basketball team, the 1994-9.5 senson was frustroting.

The campaign ncued an I (.win, 17·1oss record highlighted by nashcs of brilliance that were tempered with streaks of futility.

NIC aucnded the regional tournament at CSI on MW"ch. 2-4. The Lndy Cards took losses in both games. Btth Palmer mi&sed the first gnme with a suspension for fighting in the last gnme of the regulW" sc:ison.

The teom would dorninotc for stretches and then simply fade awoy in crunch time.

This m~bility to gel :is :1 team puzzles head coach Greg Crimp.

"During the i,nd 11f the ~eason our whole wasn't equnll ing the sum of its pans." Crimp ,aid. ''\Ve hnd good athletes; unfortunately we never put it ,tll together."'

The 95.96 rumpaign coul\l turn into n rebuilding yc.1 • Jue to the lnck of experience that will be rct J 11ing.

The cntin: st. mng livt 11nd three key subs off the bcn,:h ended their NIC cru"cers after lo,'IC$ at regiu11. 1'. Crimp pointed 10 key hMes mclmling Michelle Greenwood'~ ~coring. Buh l'.1lmcr·s athlctccism. the lt:idership of JJ11c Will.ens and Melissa 1-lcCullough. nntl the 1111po~ing rebounding presence of S;cphame Suter.

"We will need a lot of ,peed and quickncs\," Crimp snid. "We need some player.; who cnn ,tep up and pin)' 1mmcdiutely."

Other goodies on Crimp· s ~hopping lbt include inside strength and a point guard to

take over Julie Wilken's spot after her depanure.

One prospect who has vcibally committed to NlC is Polson, Mont., point gunrd Jomie Richru'ds. and Cnnp thinks that she could contribute quickly.

Crimp is also excited by Bonners Ferry standout Jana Nearing, who has also commillcd to NlC. Neanng ,vas voted by the Idaho sponswriters as the player of the ycru' in Division A·2. n,ecupboard won't be completely bare for the U1dy Cnrdinnls as sercral contributing freshman will return. One such player is Sidonn Shraufnagel, who set the N!C record for rebounds in a gome by snaring 24 boards against Ricks College.

"Sid Shraurnagcl will be a force," said Crimp. "She !ms o good work ethic and I expect her to be one or the bcM poM pl aye~ in the league next year."

Also returning are guru"ds Aund1c Howenon and Angie Oick~on. both of whom played considerably for the Lady Card!> down the ~,retch. Crimp brougln out tha1 he may move I lowenon 10 the two-guard ~pot since she has the ability to crnutc her own shots.

"Becky Phillips will also get u lot or playing time next yeru'," said Crimp. '1l1i\ year we nc~ded a conshtcOI scorer so lle.:ky didn't nlwnyS" fit in. but she Jocs so muah more for you defensively nnd on the boards that we will uliliu hero lot."

Julie Wilkens may walk on nt the Universi ty of ldnho.

by Cody Raithel ASlisUIJII Ediwr he Silver Anniversary of 1he NlC Popcom Forum has brough1 many e~hibits to 1hc campus. Perhaps one of the most scintillming pcrfonnances was by cowboy pool John Jay Ku lm in 1he Doswell Hall Auditorium March 28.

While some may think cowboy poetry Is for a bunch of bock-water hicks. Kutm·s resume offers a different view. Kulm has appeared on Na1ionol Public Radio nncl USA Cable Network. Kulm said that he perfom1cd a1 Lalapolooza Inst yenr and he has also appeared in several Seattle grunge clubs reading his poe1ry.

Kuhn described cowboy poc1ry as an oral tradition passed on by ranch and fann hands oround camp fires. Cowboy poetry ui.cs a combination of rhyming lines und allilcrmion.

You Cllll delini1cly n.'>Sume I gtl wmc prcny weird phone calls while on lhe air. There's so many: where can I strut? I've been proposed 10 by nboul a million people, but 1ha1·s fairly normal. I've also had many people ancmpl phone sex. Here·s how those conversations usually go: Mc: ··Hi, Zoo!'' Calltr."Hcy baby. talk diny 10 me. ohh baby. you nrc soo sexy. ohh •..."

Me: ''Come on. can't you come up with something bener lhan llta1?

You're preuy boring."

Click. Dial 1onc.

Phone SCJ\ is ridiculous. How do lhcse pt'Ople even know an ink.ling of what I look like? TIICy don·L l·fock.1hcycould be llllk.ing 10 lhe be:uded lady wilh duck feet and purple hair, bu1 they don't cnre. lluu·s lhe magic.

You don't often get lhe chance 10 find ou1 what I look like so l usually n:main a pan of rour imagina1ion (Thai's good for me, I think). I'm sure most of my li\teners can mnkc me much more perfect than I really wn.

People on tlie phone always ask me what I look like. I swear. 90 percent of my caller.. think I'm blond. Tom'~ made me reconsider SC\'Cr.tl times how I'm conung across on the air. As you can see, I' m not blond. Oh well.

Let's just say~ arc people our lhere who think I'm a 30-year--0ld 4-foot I I-inch blonde or wha1evcr I foci like looking like the nigh1 they c.'.111. What a shock if they ever sec me m pcr.;on.

Working in radio has a lot of plu.~ and very few minuses (wluch include causing me 10 ha1c talking on the phone for any amount of lime when 01 home. ending up being tiroo of all the music because I' vc heard all the songs a million limes and cons1an1ly having 10 be cheerful even if I'm heaving every 10 minutes because I've got the flu). fl lakes a lot of effort.

The people I work with are great because they all po~ a unique weirdness Iha! I can understand. Their individual weirdnesses come through m th!ir radio shows.

I guess th: bonom line is: R:idio isn't just a job; it's a lifestyle. And Iha! brings me ba:k 10 the beginning. h lakes a very special, er, weird person 10 get into it .lll(( be successful.

NIC student's whips only one of many talents

by Onn llell Sc111i11t l Reporter Hailed by the nationally syndico1ed news program, "Inside Edition" as a "vision out of the Old West" NIC business student and one of America' s premier whip cmf1smen, Joe Strain, wears that handle like n pair of well-worn Wranglers.

Tall and angu lar, Stmin is a singul ar young face nmong n rapidly dwindling number of individuals who endeavor

ASNIC agenda full in recent meeting

to take on the ancient tradition of whip construction. Just 18 and still single, Strain is a mun with certain goals and priorities in life.

Home-schooled since 9. Strain has learned a vnlunble leswn many traditional students never come to knowresourcefulncss. Without the aid of an instructor or regimented classroom to guide him. Stram mastered at an early age the value of a place 1ha1 remains obscure 10 many people·· the public library. It wni. in the library where Strain would devou r books und periodicals until he felt comfortable with his subject.

In 1h1s case it was whip-making. Then. onned with th is new knowledge. Sm1in vemur~d forth to apply his new awarencs\ hnnds-on.

As reported on "Inside Edition." Strain assemble., bc1wcen 40 and 50 whip, a year. with the average whip taking him about eight hour, 10 con,1ruc1. The leather used 10 make these sound-barrier busters (1hc crack of one of these" hips moves fru.tcr than a bullet from 3 Coll .45) is kangaroo hide. S1rnm sny~ the kangaroo hide is more sup1>lc 1hnn cowhide. which !Jives thi! whip h.mdler more ncxibili1y.

"In the hand, of J profcs~ionul. a whip will cut you 10 pieces," said Alex Green. a Vam;uuvcr. B.C.. Munr coordinntor and \lunt double for Charles Bronson. Strain has assembled many whips for Green.

I\ vi rtual virtuoso in the field of gun, rope and whip tricks Wild-West style. Green claims Strni n i& heir apparent 10 David Morgan. a Sca11lc-bnsed lenihcr worker.

Strain is the second oldeM child and oldcM boy in n family that features mom, dnd. four boys and four girls.

All but mom cracks the whip. so 10 speak.

"As fnr as I know, she srnys pre11y far from it," said Strain.

Strain is also a thrower of kni ves and tomahawks.

Another 1nlc01 of Stmin's . disclosed on national 1 V. is his yodeling.

A relatively new talent. Joe often times will practice his yodeling while practicing the nn of 1w irling and tossing a lariat from his families fourteen acre homc,1ead located in Ra1hdrum.

On MUich 23 Strain found himself in Las Vega.~. where he partook in a convention for the Wild We~, Ans Club.

This gives 1bem n good idea of wha1 ii is going 10 be like someday. he said.

According 10 S1ewan, few siudcms ge1 more involved 1han 01hcrs.

One s1udcn1's fmhcr was so proud of 1he fac1 thu1 his son was one of the lawyers. he wem ou13 purchased him a brand new three-piece suil jusl for 1he trial.

Argumenis are also not uncom mon among members of 1he defense and prosecu1ion over such details as a wire tap or a poorly writ1en police rcpon.

"They gel so in volved in it 1hat ii is almost like 1he real lhing," S1ewan said.

"I am really proud of them."

Pre-law student Kris Stein, who is a prosecuiing auorncy in 1hc case against Mike Berry, was researching at lhe college until he was kicked out last week cataloguing evidence.

He said ahhough the trial tokes up more time 1han he'd like, he's having a lot of fun. "h's a fake story, but we have 10 prelend i1'1 r.:al to correctly pull the trial off." Stein said. "I'm beginning 10 suffer from mnjoi 51;hiiophrenin!"

Richard l<ascr is .i law enforcement student pla yi11J the role of on asslstnn1 defense .m ,m.:y.

He said t eing on 1he defense side is good ex per i :n~e for him because he is geuing ~anci~ •Jn experience of how defense teons will someday 1ry to rip his own 1es11mOn) ap:1r1.

Mike Bl'ITy jus1smiles and shrugs when asked what it's like to be tried for murder.

Defense anomcy Suzanne Pcrkcr said 1h01 wilhou1 a doub1 he wilt be put on the stand to testify during the trial-he hos to for his grade!

Often times, people from the community are asked to play the pans of

different witnesses in the trial. For the past 1hrcc years Dr. Jerry Gee, dean of instruction, has been one of 1hc mock trials "professional wi1ncsscs."

He has played the role of n psychiatrist and said he really enjoys being o part of the trials. He needs to be prepared with a list of phony credentials, however. for when the nnorneys challenge his expenise.

"I think I' ve graduated from Stanford and Harvard n few times in 1hc post." said Gee, laughing.

One year. Stewan said he enjoyed giving his class a bit of a surprise.

Unknowing to them, the witness rccruiti:d 10 play the part of psychi&trist realty was one.

Lawyers tried to challenge his expenise by asking him what centtin medical terms meant. When the doctor was able to answer their questions with obvious knowledge, the s1udents became confused.

The students asked to approach the bench.

One told Stewart, who plays the judge, 1hat thi s man seemed to really know what he was talking about.

Stewart replied 1ha1 it was because be really was a doctor the and the s1udcn1s

gasped.

"Why didn't you tell us?" They asked.

Stewart smartly replied, "You didn ' t ask: · Pcrker said that 1hey spend so many hours working on preparing for the trio!, they often find themselves talking about the cnse as if ii were real.

"Whether or not he did it. we're going to nail him to the wall," S1ein said smugly.

Naturally. when both sides were asked who would win the trial, each quickly snid "we will!"

Tanya Runkle is ploying the role of accused Berry·s mother.

"He didn't do it," she said. "He's a good boy."
