Opinion From the Editor 9/11, a day we will never forget Music: soley in my soul I really like music. I like the way it sounds and I like the way it feels. I like how listening to a song can make or break your day or make sitting at a 10 minute stop light seems not so bad. I would also like to participate in music, however, I can’t sing. I’ve been told that my voice sounds like a cross between Bob Dylan and some group called “Dying Cow” that I’ve never heard of it (and neither has google). Yeah, I was in band during junior high playing the trumpet, and by playing I mean playing so softly the sound of my horrible horn was muted by the music of the other trumpeters who could actually play. So last year I decided to take up guitar. I tried teaching myself but turns out I’m an awful teacher when I don’t know what I’m doing. Then I took lessons through our very own learning institution and those helped considerably. My other reason for learning to play guitar was that if I fail at everything else in life I could be a street performer. I could play my guitar and people would be so moved by my music they would toss all the coins in the world at me. Now reality has checked in and I just hope people like listening to slow renditions of “Frere Jacque,” and I mean really like. That and the first line of “My Favorite Things”… not sung of course. Aaron Waits By Aaron Waits of The Pathfinder Kaylee Brewster Looking forward to the weekend Don’t you hate it when you have something fun coming up and the week just drags on? I’m definitely going through that right about now. I’m going to Missoula this weekend with a good friend and his mom to check out the campus there, and this week couldn’t go by any slower. Every year for my birthday, my family and I go ski at Lookout. Then we drive into Montana and go to Quinn’s Hot Springs for a night, and sometimes we drive to Missoula for the day. Since we go there quite a bit, I’m excited to go because there are a lot of good memories over there. That, and I love western Montana and northern Idaho. I’m hoping the latter half of this week goes by quickly because I’m ready to skip town.

They say everyone can remember exactly what they were doing that day and how they found out. Although I was only in fourth grade, this holds true for me. September 11, 2001, a clear blue sky, and my brother’s twelfth birthday. It started out like any other day. My mom woke my brother and me up, and our morning began. The typical hustle-and-bustle as mom tried to rush us out the door in time. Then the phone rang. It was my dad. We watched as my mom’s smile faded off her face as she shook her head in disbelief. She hung up the phone and told us Dad heard on the radio that the U.S. was being bombed. Of course, we would later find out what really happened; but that early on, no one really understood what had happened. In my fourth-grade mind, I had an image of planes flying overhead while dropping bombs. I distinctly remember thinking that. We said a prayer and mom sent us on our way to school. My brother and I made the one mile walk on the old county dirt road. I remember how we ran, looking up in the sky for planes. We were kids. We didn’t really know what was going on. When we got to school, we began to learn more about what happened on the other side of the nation that morning. I was young, but I still understood how horrific it was and how that day would have a lasting impression on our country. Our teachers explained to us the magnitude of what had happened. Our principal said a prayer over the P.A. system. We stood up and said the pledge. In the days following, I watched the news non-stop. One year later at school, we watched videos that were taken that day. The first plane hitting; the second plane hitting; the pentagon getting struck; the towers collapsing; people screaming; jumping from windows; a smoke filled horizon. It was an absolutely terrifying scene that still gives me See Forget, page 5 The Pathfinder policies The Pathfinder is the official student publication of Lewis-Clark State College, and operates under authority granted by the LCSC Communications Board.

September 12, 2012 The Pathfinder 3. Sailesh performs to a full house By Lindsey Keatts of The Pathfinder In his second trip to LCSC, Sailesh the hypnotist preformed Thursday at the Silverthorne Theatre in front of a full house. The show began with 16 volunteers going on stage, only eight remained at the end of the show. Once the volunteers had taken their seats, Salish began with getting them to relax their muscles, from toe to head. Once they were relaxed, he put them to sleep. That is when the real show began. The volunteers were woken up repeatedly with instructions. They found themselves doing everything from smelling their shoe and trying to get others to smell it, to being river dancers, picturing people naked and getting frisky with their chairs. Regine Standley, who got hypnotized said, "It was weird, it was like you kind of knew what you were doing, but your body was moving on its own. And then afterwards you didn't really remember anything." The show was all in good fun though, and the audience went crazy. There was clapping and cheering, screaming, and whistling as the audience took in the things their friends were doing. Even the skeptics had a good time. Morgan Crawley, one of the student volunteers said, "It was real. I was kind of skeptical at first, but it legitimately felt like I was dreaming the whole time."

Those brave, selfless people drove that plane in to the dirt and died so that others might live. A true act of valor. Following 9/11, something happened to Americans. We became closer and more patriotic. We evaluated our lives and counted our blessings. We flew our flags like they have never flown before, and we rethought what it means to be an American. As Americans, we must stand for freedom and for justice. As Americans, we must be proud of who we are and what we stand for. As Americans, we must be grateful to those who fight for our freedoms and for what we stand for. As Americans, we must never forget the lives that were lost that day. Arts & Entertainment 6. September 12, 2012 Movie Review Book Review “Moonrise Kingdom” Wes Anderson creates a magical world of young world Photo Courtesy of “Moonrise Kingdom” facebook site Sam (Jared Gilmon) shows Suzy (Kara Hayward) where he plans to escape. By Kaylee Brewster of The Pathfinder Moonrise Kingdom” transports audiences to another world, the magical world of Wes Anderson. Scout Master Ward (Edward Norton) wakes up at Camp Ivanhoe and everything is normal, until he discovers that someone is missing, the “emotionally disturbed” Sam (Jared Gilman). His ragtag group of scouts then begin a search for Sam. Meanwhile unbeknownst to the Bishop family, the Bishop parents (Bill Murray and Frances McDormand) are unaware that they’re little Suzy (Kara Hayward) has disappeared as well. That’s because Sam and Suzy love each other, and they are running away to be together… and they’re twelve. Writerand director,Wes Anderson, creates a story that, despite its seemingly simple plot, keeps the audience engaged. At times, it goes back to the past or has a shift in narration but it’s what you should expect with a Wes Anderson film. The plot keeps us wondering what’s going to happen to the characters and, because we care about the characters, we care about the film. The characters are simple, but as the audience, we still care about them, and it’s not just because they’re kids. Anderson’s protagonists have emotions and problems that they have to deal with as well. Their struggles make the audience connect and care by placing the kids in an adult world, while still maintaining their childishness. The acting in “Moonrise Kingdom” is stunning by the whole cast, even the other kids who play the other scouts. Gilman and Hayward play the runaway lovers perfectly and their chemistry together is flawless. Their lines are performed with the right tone and pace. Bruce Willis has a role as Captain Sharp, the police officer in charge of finding the two children. Willis takes a surprising turn as just a normal guy, he’s not an action hero out to save the day. Despite the different role, Willis gives an incredible performance, it’s a quiet role and character but it makes the audience believe that he is Captain Sharp, not Bruce Willis, the man who dies hard. Norton has one of the more comical characters in the story. Norton’s scout master runs his camp like an Army Sergeant, but he’s not a drill sergeant. The character of Ward is also genuinely concerned for Sam, especially toward the end of the movie. He also has some of the cleverest lines. For example, beginning the search for Sam Ward asks for questions and one of his scouts asks him if he’s a scout master for a living, he says no he’s a math teacher. Then he changes his answer saying, “I’m a scout master for a living. Math teacher on the side.” Some of you may be thinking, “what’s so funny about that?” but it’s partly the delivery of the line, but it’s also the style of humor in the film. This isn’t a laugh out loud comedy, it’s more of a dry humor style. Even the acting would feel dry to some, it’s not that it’s bad acting or boring by any means, it’s just different and some people don’t get it. It’s hard to explain or describe what exactly the humor See Kingdom, page 7 “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time” Book gives unique view into the life of a boy with Asperger’s Doubleday Mark Haddon’s The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime By Alex Ready of The Pafthinder Have you ever felt like you didn't belong? Like you didn't quite know what to say to a person? That's what every day is like for Christopher, a teenage boy who has Asperger’s syndrome. I first picked up this book at an Elementary School book fair, it caught my eye because it was labeled for adults only. Rarely do they have books of that nature in that type of setting, so I decided to buy it on impulse. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is a mystery novel written by British author, Mark Haddon. The novel came out in 2003, but it took a little while for it to get to the United States. The story is narrated by the main character Christopher Boone, who is 15 years-old. He is brilliant at mathematics, but he has some issues regarding social situations and has some odd behaviors. The author never right out says that Christopher has Asperger’s syndrome, but many other characters reference it. Asperger’s syndrome is a high-functioning form of autism. People who are generally diagnosed with it have aspects of their intelligence that is well above normal. People who also have this condition generally have some difficulty with social situations and behavioral aspects, too. This story shows what it's like to be a person who sees normal social interactions as nonsensical and, in some cases, obscured. Christopher Boone lives with his Father and his pet rat in Great Britain. Christopher discovers his neighbor’s dog has been murdered and decides to investigate. This is where the whole story begins. Being able to see things from a perspective that isn't necessarily the norm is See Dog, page 7 September 12, 2012 The Pathfinder From Kingdom, page 6 or acting is, the simplest way is to say, “It’s Wes Anderson.” The other aspect of a Wes Anderson film is the color. There is a distinct yellow tone to the movie. From the costumes, sets, to even the color of the actual film itself. However, the color gives it a storybook illustration feel. The color makes the movie seem like its taking place in a From Dog, page 6 brighter, more beautiful world than ours. There is no doubt that this is a Wes Anderson film. The humor, acting, and color of film are all his trademark (and of course having Bill Murray in it). The story is fanciful and quirky fun, a joy to watch unfold. Food for Thought Easy Sausage Pie By Alex Ready of The Pathfinder As soon as I see impossibly easy in a title, I have to try it; the fact that it has sausage makes it even better. I have always been a huge fan of everything breakfast related, and when I can get a whole plate of breakfast food in one convenient slice, my day is made. I found this recipe on Tablespoon.com; so if you’re interested in finding more like it, check them out. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray a 9-inch glass pie plate with cooking spray. In a 10-inch skillet (a.k.a. frying pan), cook sausage, bell pepper, and onion over medium (I used medium- high. Shh, don't tell anyone) for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sausage is no longer pink (and prone to giving you salmonella or something), then drain. Mix in sausage mixture, potatoes, and ½ cup of the cheese (I used all of the cheese 7. now because I frankly didn't want to wait longer to eat my breakfast.) Now, spread this mixture into the pie plate. In a medium bowl, stir Bisquick mix, milk, pepper, and eggs until blended. Pour into pie plate. (I made a huge mess on the counter doing this, so please be careful not to over fill the pan.) Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until knife inserted into center comes out clean. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and bake 1 to 2 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. (Yeah. I didn't do that). Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. This recipe is easy, and it tastes fantastic. As you can see from my picture, I decided to add some fruit to this to make it a little more well-rounded breakfast. This recipe has made my morning routine go so much faster since I can just re-heat it. This could be great for a family breakfast or potluck breakfast. Enjoy and happy eating! quite refreshing. Many of the everyday things we take for granted are something that seems odd to Christopher. For instance, he hates to be hugged, even by people close to him. So instead, they touch hands palm-to- palm with fingers touching. At times, Christopher mentions how his loved ones sometimes wish they could hug him, but Christopher can't stand that kind of contact. As the novel progresses, more and more traits of Christopher's are discovered. He's not just some child with a syndrome; he has hopes, dreams, and he does care for people around him. He just has an odd way of showing it at times. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is a Ingredients: 1 package (12 oz.) bulk pork sausage (First ingredient, and I’m already changing things. I’m not a huge fan of pork, so I chose to use chicken sausage instead.) 1 small bell pepper, chopped (1/2 cup1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup) 1 1/2 cups frozen shredded hash brown potatoes 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (4 oz.) 1/2 cup Original Bisquick® mix 1 cup milk 1/8 teaspoon pepper 2 eggs fantastic read that lets you see an everyday life from a different perspective. One warning, however, the book fair did not like when it said this book was for adults only. There is adult language and adult situations, so please be aware. Also, please pick up this book. 8. The Pathfinder September 12, 2012 Center for Arts and History reopens for the year By Lindsey Keatts of The Pathfinder The Center for Arts and History (CAH) officially kicked off the year Friday with an open house and a new associate director. The opening reception lasted from 6-8 p.m. and drew in about 40 community members and students. It included a snack bar and live music. It was also the first event for the CAH's new Associate Director, Vilas Tonape, and with this new appointment will come many changes to the CAH. "I want to start a lecture series, maybe on art history, maybe comparing visual art to music or visual art to a movie," Tonape said. Art was displayed by several artists, from a woodworking group. Pieces ranged from classic wood working art, like bowls and tables, to more obscure art like figurines, interments, hats, and weapons. Artists and staff were both on hand to answer questions about the displays. "The exhibits rotate, so they are never stagnant. There is something for everyone,” said Lisa Jones, Director of the CAH. “We recently had an exhibit called 'The Wilderness Within' and that exhibit talked about natural resources, global warming, it talked about pollution, it talked about science and math as well as art. So if you were really into math or science, you could still really appreciate the art here." The CAH is located on Main St. in Lewiston, and is open from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, and is free of cost.

September 12, 2012 Commentary From the bench A new face should equal positive results By Sandra Kelly of The Pathfinder Clichés are old, tired phrases that for the most part should be banished to English hell. But once in a while a cliché comes along that fits the situation perfectly, and in the case of the LCSC baseball team the cliché “The more things change, the more they stay the same”, fits perfectly. For decades Ed Cheff led the Warriors to baseball success. During his tenure the LCSC men went 1,705-430-2 and won 16 NAIA World Series titles. Cheff retired in 2010 and Gary Picone took over, and that was crazy. His first season the Warriors finished 38-17, and while that wasn’t bad, the season had a bit of a precarious feel to it. But last year the Warriors rolled, finishing 42-17, and looked poised to bring in title No. 17. Things were feeling good again. The Warriors were back to being a team everyone in the NAIA feared, and the baseball machine that the LCSC community had come to love was back and everything was aligned correctly in the universe. Then out of the blue we were smacked with another coaching change. So, after 34 years of consistency, the Warriors have had three coaches in four years. Not to worry. In fact, it’s time to take a deep breath and chill because even though the Warriors are going to be in the midst of yet another coaching change, it’s a good thing, and the LCSC team shouldn’t miss a beat. Stepping in to take over is Jeremiah Robbins, formerly of Western Oregon, a man who’s had nothing but success at the collegiate level. “When we made the transition two years ago we wanted to be sure the transition was one that allowed the baseball program to maintain its status in the baseball community, especially in the area of recruiting,” Picone said. ”Jeremiah Robbins is exactly the kind of person the LC program needs going forward. He has established a strong reputation for his coaching ability in the college baseball community, and he has a proven record of excellent leadership.” Robbins brings great creds to the program. While at Western Oregon he led the Wolves to seven conference titles, was named the conference Coach of the Year seven times and was twice named the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association West Region Coach of the Year. Robbins said he had a great thing going at Western Oregon, but said it was a no-brainer to accept the LCSC job. “Obviously, when you’re in the Northwest and you’re a young coach coming up you try to model things after LewisClark State. It is one of the top programs not only in the Northwest but in the United States, and to be selected as the leader of the program is the highest honor I could ever achieve. I know it’s a cliché, but See Bench, page 11 This week: Warrior golf classic Staff Report The LCSC Warrior golf classic, a four-person golf scrambler to fundraise for student scholarships is this week.

September 12, 2012 The Pathfinder LCSC moves to 2-0 in Frontier Conference Sandra Kelly of The Pathfinder Warriors celebrate victory over Montana Tech. 26-24 Saturday at LCSC By Sandra Kelly of The Pathfinder LCSC volleyball opened the Frontier Conference at home, and picked up a pair of sweeps, the first one over Great Falls Friday, and the second against Montana Tech Saturday. Friday was a coming out party for freshman Treneisha Doyle, who put on an explosive offensive workshop, finishing with 16 kills and hitting .343. “I knew she had it in her,” said LaToya Harris, LCSC coach. “She’s very powerful. (She) can really jump. And she swings well. We wanted her to concentrate on aggressive swings tonight instead of tip shots, and she did very well.” The entire Warrior offense clicked, with setter Nevena Dragovic going to senior Brianne Brown early on the right, and then mixing the ball to her middle and outside hitters. Brown finished with eight kills, as did outside hitter Willow Markowitz and middle hitter Keisha Luebbert-Kennedy. The LCSC hitters combined to hit .459, but setting up that big stat was the stellar play of the backrow, a unit anchored by libero Kaylee Rector, who had 18 digs. “I think out backrow is pretty strong,” Rector said. “We have a lot of great defenders coming in and out every game, so I think that solid backrow helps out the team a ton. It really helps our hitters a lot in the front row.” Saturday the Warriors played host to Montana Tech, a team under the direction of first-year head coach Brian Solomon. In the second set against the Orediggers, the Warriors fell behind 12-4. The Warriors made up the defect in the second set and won, 26-24. “It was awful, yes,” Rector said. “We just lost our focus for a second and played down to the other team’s level, which is … an issue sometimes. We figured it out and came back.” In an effort to charge her team, Harris substituted liberally, and while her bench didn’t spark a comeback, it helped refocus her starters. “We weren’t as focused as we should have been,” Harris said. “And then it comes down to, if players aren’t playing their position, there’s someone else who can, so we gave another group an opportunity to step up to the plate. It was a little bit off, so we said, ‘OK, we’ll get things going again,’ but it was a lot of awkward.” Doyle again led the charge, finishing with 13 kills, while Brown hammered down 10 and led the team in hitter percentage at .476. Also getting into the mix was Brianna Kelly, who showed she also has some power on the outside as drilled down eight kills. Overall, Harris said she’s glad to have the home opener under their belts, and is excited to move on. “It’s nice to have that first home weekend out of the way. It helps to get the kinks out and get the pressure off of playing at home,” she said. “You want to do so well for the fans – impress them. We play so well away in conference because we want to prove to everyone, so it was comforting to have these two wins.” This week the Warriors will host Westminster College Thursday and Western Saturday. “We have some work to do,” Harris said. “It’s a competitive week. We have to clean that up and move forward.” 11. Frolf! (Frisbee Golf) Kelly-Rae Meyer of The Pathfinder Brittney Rodgers and other LCSC students play Frolf at LCSC’s unmarked course before the volleyball game Saturday. Kelly-Rae Meyer of The Pathfinder Joe Filler throws a frisbee with other students Saturday between the Activity Center and the Art Center. From Bench, page 10 it’s definitely a dream come true,” he said. And while things certainly aren’t set in stone, Robbins’ long tenure at Western Oregon showcases his willingness to stay with a program, and his sterling record should mean that fans won’t see a drop off in the Warriors play this season, or in years to come. So while we, as fans, are faced with getting to know another coach, don’t fret. Robbins should step into the new slot like Cinderella stepping into a slipper, and the LCSC baseball team will live happily ever after – and winning No. 17 may be on the direct horizon.
