Valentine roots reach way back

by Sharon Sheldon Store displays arc up, and advertising pitch~ abound, as yet ano1J11n St. Valentine\ Day approaches.

While Commercial America cashes m on all the cards, nowcr5 ond other llcmb bought to help celebrate this holiday, the U.S. Postal Service gets ready ror one of 1he bu$iC)l day5 or the year. In fact, Christmas is the only other holiday that is bu~ier.

The idea of a day ~cl aside ond dedicmed to love i\ 1101 a nc" one. I I all :.ccmb 10 hove sinned with Lupcrcalia. an ancient Roman fest ival held especially for lovers. M the legend gors, a man would drow a women ' b name from a bo). of eligible member~ of the opposite ~c~ Qnd then live with her lor one year. While this custom is 1:0nbidered the forcrunnrr to modern day cclcbra1ions, the roots of S1. Valentine\ Day are bleeped in myMcry.

II ~ccms 1h01 in 270 A. D. an uncannoni,cd ~mt by the name of \/alcmine wa, put to death b)• cm1)cror Claudius. The conne.:-tioo bet,\cen ht~ death and the soon-to-folio,, cclebrmion 01 his day as unclear. but \Orne ~tone~ ~a) that ,, hile aw11i11ng, ht~ e~ecution he cured the jailer\ daughter of a rare itlne~.

Other storic, hnvc ham falling an to, e \\ ith the ,nme Jailer\ daughter and ,, ruing her lettC'rs ~1&ned "your V,1lentine." A~idc from the:.t I\\ O s1onei. th.ere is no real e,ptanation for as~o'1aling IO\'e wnh Si. Valentine. l·eb. 14 hn) a ~imilar. although beuerdocumcmed hmorv. legend proclaims that birds everywhere are called to choose mates on this da,.

In the middle ag~ Chaucer ob\cr,ed 1hh, a~d wrote, "For this on St. Vnlenune\ Dav when every bird cometh to choose n mate." ''

'

Modern day men and women have heard different calls. According to AT&T spokespeople, Si. Valentine's Day isn't jus1 busy for the U.S. Postal Service, but for telephone operators as "ell. Five Limes more people " reach out and touch someone" tllan on an average day.

St. Valeminc's Day has no, always been easy to celebrate or. for that matter, even legal.

Interestingly enough. if the founding fathers in the ne" world of 1700 had their way, St. Valenline's Day would not be a tradition. During the PuriLanical domination of the New England inhabitants. St. Valentine's Day was outlawed because it lacked specific religious significance.

Accordmg to one founding father it "lacked any redeeming ,.aJucs or morals."

Ho"C\·er. changes in public opinion seem to ha,·e ocrured, because later in the same century 11 ~ legal once again 10 celebrate the holiday.

The prartict of mailing ,·aJentines was not pure1) a matter of public prcferance, bu1 a timely postal rate decrease enabled celebrants to exchange hohda) peeun o~er \il\t ,ections of the couotr; I J '<70 a NC',\ t ork printer named Jo~n .\ klou.,nun in\enttd "penny" valentines, \\hich closet}' resemble lhose 1ha1 elemeniary school children give out today It changed St. Valentine\ Day b) making u affordable to most e, eryone.

So.~ hile the h1s1or, of St. Valentine's Day include:. some mys1erious and unexpected turn,. ii i:, also one of the most profitable and busiest 1im~ of the year for the U.S. Post.al Service and various telephone companies and businesses.

It all goes back 10 the death of St. Valentine and the ability of people to tailor time-honored traditions to their own particular needs.

Area high schools lack vocational opportunity milt turley Times are tough and job~ are hard to find' R1iht ! Wrong" Cha nces are that if you had graduated from one of the fourteen \C>Cational programs at Nonh Idaho College wt June, )'OU \\-Ould be \\-Orl..ing in_a field of your choice and for much bcuer than minimum \\ages.

Welding, for example, has 80 ~rccnt plac~em with a,eragc wage of $8.64 per hour.

The fact is, NIC's vocational school is a \\CU-kept secret \Ian, or the area high school teachers and career counselor<; ha,e no idea ,~ h:it vocational training programs are a, ailable for their student'> at 1':IC Approximate figures show that 'IC's \0Ca11onal 'SC'hool i~ re,:ruiting onh 2 percent or area high school ~enio~ That is about 10 change!!

Many facult)' members, including m))elf. ha\e <tarted 3&..1tt~i\e programs of recruitment in local high school~. Open Hou~ and general public aw:ircncss programs will ~oon be commonplace at the Hedlund Building.

Because of a lac~ of knowledge about the ad, antagc~ of a "0\."311onal education, local school boards i.pend the majorit) of ~econdaf) school budgets on "college prep" classes when in re.iht) on!) 32 percent of high school graduates ever go on to an academic college and. \\Or,l' yet, only 18 percent ever graduate.

Perhaps a mor~ equal distribution of funds bet\\oetl ac:adetTUC and \OC3· tional classes would address this problem.

Another problem in secondary schools is Lhe drop-out rate. Of the number of students that stan high school, 1.i percent drop out before graduation.

Many reasons could account for this. but I fed that. bec:luse of a lack of vocational instruction program~ at the secondarv level and a lad. of information about post-secondary \'OCational proiams, man) students lack the incentive to continue in a purel) academic high school curriculum.

Again. perhaps a more equal distribution of funds would correct this problem.

As a instructor . my job is to produce entry le\'el welders for placement in the welding industry. NIC has a ,ery good record in that respect.

Our average placement has been about 70 ~rcent for the last five years. !C's \\elding program is nine intense months long-the shortest m the state-with instruction in gas welding. sticl.. welding. wire feed welding. heli-arc. blueprint reading and many other ~kills that are esscnual for professional "elders.

Anybody interested in a good career with an exciting future and good wages, is in\'ited to come by the Hedlund Building and see what an NfC Vocational Education department can do for you. You might be surprised!

Financi al consultant challenges Reis f igures, touts state retirement fund Dear Editor: The January ::!9, 1987 nruclc by Shell) Raynor quoting David Rei~ in reference to the Publjc Employee~ Retirement Sy)tem of Idaho (PERS) made rekrencc to many subject matters that were very inaccurate and should be clarified to your readers.

First of all, the contribution~ by each ind1v1dual covered employee under the PERS is equal to 5.34 percent of their gross salary. That contribution is not 1J1x11 ble, but instead is a uix deferred contribution to their retirement plan. This gives each employee an excellent way of shellermg nontaxable dollars for retirement use.

Should an employee elect to terminate his or her employment. they have the right to withdraw their contributions plus the earnings on those contributions. Pre Jul)', 1983 con· mbu11ons 'wOuld be received income taX free as they were submitted 10 the PERS with after tax dollars. All contnbuuons that were made after July, 1983 are~ deferred contributions. Therefore, they would be taxed as ordinar) income. All earnings on the funds withdra"''n "'ouJd al!>o be taxed as ordinary income. The 1986 Tax Reform Act now places a IO percent excise tax on any withdrawals prior LO age 59- 'h unless

for di\ability or death. That is in oddit ion to any sta te and federal in· ,ome tax that is payable.

I have had the opportunit y 10 counsel with many employees that are contemplating rcurcmcnt or have retired under the Public Employees Retirement System. II i~ always very evident 1hat the PERS bcnefi1 they receive is a major part of their income. In fact, without it, most would have to conti nue some form of employment in order 10 main1ain theirstandard of living. In addition, the options available for the: continuation of survivors income helps solidify good planning for a surviv· ing spouse, thus. providing income guarantees over cwo lifetimes.

The 1986 Tax Reform Act will still provide individuals covered under the PERS Lhc right to place fwids into an IRA accounl . For single individuals with AdjusLed Gro~s Income of less 1han S25,000, they will be able 10 deduct 1he full amount of an I RA contribution. For married couples with Adjusted Gross Income of $4-0,000 or less, they will be afforded the same option. In either case, if the Adjusted Gross fncome exceeds Lhe $25,000 or $4-0,000. then the amount that 1s dcduc1ible under an IRA account is reduced to reflecl the higher earnings.

'Wizard' visits Lake City

The 1roupe began by holding .suditions for the play last weclrcnd, and by th1, weekend the players were well rehearsed and ready 10 go.

The ac1ors who were picked for 1hc parts did a very good job of portraying Lheir characters.

Dorothy, played by Lisa Roth, and Toio. played by Brandon Olson, s1artcd 1he play off right as D0ro1hy chased Toto 0010 the s1age "trying 10 ca1ch him " However, Cowardly Lion. played by Lorin Wilson, was 1hc hit of 1he show. The audience reacted w11h ti11ers when the lion cried and whimpered every time something scared him.

The Wicked Witch of the West. played by Kri.s1en Brown, scn1 chills down everyone.s back u she came screaming onio the stage chasing 1he winkic,.

Even though most of the actors were children who had only rehearsed for a week, lhc play was smoothly presented and quite entertaining.

by Mike Carey Ernovcned. Quick 10 laugh Quick v.ith a quip All these qual111cs apt I)' describe: NIC Trustee Bob El)3pparcnlly an archet)'Ptc.11 '"good or boy'"-to a tee.

Ely really is all those things and more. He !5 pres•· dent of 1he NJC Booster Club. a voluntec, ID community service, a sta11nician for the NIC baskecball ream~. production comrol manager for a local precision plastic manufacturer and an :,.llC T~~,ee He is also a member of Americ::m Mensa, a select group of people :tll having JQs in the top 2 percent of the nauon.

Perhaps Ely rcali1,ed all along that an 1Dncr pool of deep. s11II water lurked ~neath his bubbly personality, but 1ha1 wellspring began 10 percolate 10 the surface last summer when he read an article about Mensa in Reader's Dig~t. Included in the article, he found a trial intelligence test and aced it.

Ely graduated from the Univers11y of Montana in 1969 with a bachelor's degree, and over the years has completed a few additional computer and business courses al NIC Bui now at age 40. he wants 10 enroll in graduate studies at Gonzaga University in Spokane.

Oddly enough. he was concerned about sending his undergraduate transcripts to Gonzaga. Not only would his abysmally low grades from the late '60s fa1l 10 in• dlca tc his ability to do graduate-level work, but they might con• ince Gonwg.a offic:iah that he was not grad· ~chool material.

"I never let classes get in the way of my college education (back 01 U. of Mon(ana)," he said.

So when he applled through Mensa, 10 ta~e 1wo ba11erics of 10 1csl6-one called CA ITPL, ID which he scored ID the top 2 perccm and 1hc Cahfom,a Tes1 of Mento! Mnturily, in which he scored in the 1op I percent. The leSI\ pegged hi~ 10 lll 149.

Fast food tastes change, according to FDA report

by Sharon Sheldon

America 1s slowly changing the tha1 it eats.

\lo3)'

Ac.-cording to the Food and Drug Administration. Amercians arc pa)ing more auemion to what they eat and what it com:iins. Fast food and general food suppliers are noticing this change and responding 10 it by creating :i bigger variety in their selections.

"Think back 20 years ago. all the choice a consumer had was ·where do I want to buy my hamburger?· 0" there is a choice betw«n roast beef, h:imburgers. chicken sandwicht'S and nuggets, pizza aod other \:iried foods." a spokt'Sperson for the FDA said.

Accord mg to the FDA·s recent rcpon. the Arneri= way of eating is expanding 10 include these choices. Tht' general c.-oncem :ibout health is also changing food consumption habits.

· 'College people arc an easy group of indhiduals 10 monitor because thC\ are representative of tbt' 11, bole nation's demographics," tht' FDA report said.

Changes of food consumption are evident on NIC's campus and the college is ba"ing to keep up v.ith those changes, according to Lanny Stein. director of au..-tllary senices.

"Nic's is going to pro1ide more choices for the consumer as the desire for a produC'l is e~pressed," Stein said.

He added that ht' can·, just get a product because 1wo people l\aDI it, but said. "If many people tell me that they want a cenain product I do research about cost and a,·ailability. and if <'' crything seems practical I I.I) to obtam it."

According 10 the FDA. changes in national food consumption habits J.rc slow and predictable.

public place-.

Ten smo~t'rs and ten non•srnokcr\ were polled and nearly all ogrecd 1h01 pcorlc \\ho wish 10 smoke should do ,om an nrea whert' 11 will have little effoc:1 on oihen.

"Smoker; ,hould ho~e an area to go where II won't impact the general pubhc or non-,mokers." Bob Bohac, NIC. math instructor and non·~mokcr, \J1d.

Fr~hman John Kiehl. 3 very moder3te, two-pack-a-yc.ir smoker, al\O \3id he feels ~mot.ing in pubhc should be rew1c11:d "I don·1 feel 11 is proper to ,mol.c in a pubhc place," Kiehl ,aid. " I ( someone need~ a smoke that bad, they can JU\t go outside."

One non-smol.cr who had a unique view on smoking rewicuon~ was Patric~ A. OcRyan, an NIC student.

"If they arc going 10 ban cigarcue smoke. then they should ban au1omobiles and oLher things chat cause noxious fumes.'' DcRyan said.

Smoke from burning •A-ood, De Ryan said, pollutes the air with I.SO different types of poisons.

If cigarettes are banned, then all types of air pollution devices should be banned, DcRyan added.

$50,000 rcspccti"ely, !he deduction is totally rC'ltlO\'ed. HowC\·er, non deductible contributions c:an still be made and earnings oo those accounts will accumulate iax deferred.

Unlike benefiu that arc provided for civil sen ice and miliwy personnel, the Public Employees Retirement System requires a CO\ercd employee to atwn age 5S before benefits arc a"ailable. If an employee elects 10 retire at a later age, for example, age 60, then the benefiu lhC)· recehe are substantially highu than thC) -..ould be at age S.S . So would be the case if they waited until age 6-5 10 receive beoefiu.

II is m> e:q,eriencc that if more

employees had the opponuni1y_io par· ticipate in pension plans of 1h1s type. there would be millions of Americans that would be able to retire as op~ 10 quitting work. The compul~ry nature of this retirement progra m is 0 tremendous asset for employees as they plan for their retirement years. The PERS benefits along with Social Secun· 1y and other funds that they can a~cumulate during their working years ":ill pro"idt each employee with financ1~ security at a ume that the)' will need 11 most.

El'en after lhe Treasure Valley and CSI games it still remains a muddled mess for teams bidding for 1hr iinol four.

"11 really looks like we need to play as well as we're capable of playing and ....;n as man} games t!S possible.·· he said. "II also depends on what happens "ich the other schools."

As for controlling his own destiny. \\'ilh:ims said hi~ three ~ophomore starters ha, e been pl3) mg ,~ell in addition 10 some 1mpress1,e support off the bcn~h.

Tracksters jump into indoor season

by Tim Clemensen Even though it is the the second l'ottJ.. of Febuar} . the NIC mcn·s and women 's tr.1ck teams ha•e been out of hibernation for a month and 1'o1lrming up for lhe nearing ou1door track season by rompeting in several indoor meets.

"The indoor meets give us a chanct' to get some winter training and 10 sec what kind of progress we're making." NIC Traci: Coach Mike Bundy said.

This season Bund)• v.ill be assisted by former IC standout runner John Bentham wbo is in charge of the long distance runners, 3,000 meters and up. ··f 'll try 10 t'oach everybody else." Bundy said. ··1 need another assist.am, but haven't found anyone yet.'"

For tbe men's team. NIC will bt rebuilding again aflcr losing several cxperient'ed mid..<fisUlllce runnm.

The womeo·s team on the other hand is •t'f) strong in its youth. ··Most of the good women are freshmen." Bundy said.

The track team dido ·1 run any indoor meets la5t year because of bad weather. but Lbis year i1 has seen good perform3nccs from freshmen Audrey Caren and Jackie Harris in the long distances. Freshman highjumper Teresa Windedchl jumped S-2 in a recent indoor meet. and is capable of jumping higher, according 10 Bundy.

Th~."li.:n·~ [C3m has ~ad good pe~!>!1!1!1~~.5P.f:1! •• •

from sophomore Scou Parrish and freshmen John Deremiah and Gordon Birdsall in long-<listance events.

"We'll have ruonger men's and women's teams this year," Bundy said. •·We'll have compctilon in every e-·ent: I.hat's new for us."

NI C is usually very competitive in a few cvcnt.s, and the Other events arc left open or available for anyone willing lO participate.

"h would be nice 10 be strong enough 10 win regionals, but I don'I k.now how realistic that is." hr said. " h 's hard to compete with schools who have more money for scholarships and better 1raining facilities. Of course we want some individuals 10 qualify for nationals 100.

Cheerleading Getting dangerous or just bad publicity Chcerleading has been gelling quite a bu or publici1y larely. Unfonunatel)•.

1he vasr majority of the ink abou1 ii has

been negative.

A recco1 dealh and 50me severe in• juries at the collegiate !eve:! have caused many people, especially chcerleadmg associations, 10 become more aware of

the dangers of chcerleading. \\ 1th compctiuon stressed ~ much, the ~el of danger involved in stunts has increased accordingly.

Janis Thompson. a l'onh Dakota Staie Uni~ersity s1udeni, died in midNovember from head injuries recei"ed by falling 10 feet from the top of a

pyramid and landing on her head, ac cording to 3 recent College Pr~ &nice release. She had enough spotters. bu1 her dismount jUS1 wasn't on wget, and the squad wasn't using mats.

Organized cheerleading ~ociations have stressed for many rears to take caution with difficult s1unts, and mos1 organizations have set guidelines and limits on 1he acrobatic and gymnastic difflCU!ry I.hat stunts should be afforded.

Uni\ crsi1y of Keniuck) cheerleader Dak Baldwin broke his neck "'hile practicing wilh a mini-trampoline 10 dnys before ThompSOn's death. He is no,, panially paral)-zcd.

"You'll nev:rc;eeanothcr mini-tramp used," S3id Greg Webb of the Uni,crsal Checrlcading Assoc:13tion. "&ld"'in 1s one of the best in the country. and if i1 happened 10 Dale, ii can happen to anyone."

Co-o"'ner of UCA Jeff Webb said "Cheerleaders face lilllc danger of serious injury if they ha\'c proper physical tr.lining and supervision...
