Residence life Halloween dance draws a crowd
By Amanda Hindberg
of The Pathfinder
Residence Life held a
Halloween dance in Clearwater
Hall basement on Thursday,
Oct. 29 and it was deemed a
complete success! Within the
first hour, there were at least
100 students at the dance.
The
Halloween
dance
doubled as a costume contest
as well. “Movie Night” themed
prizes were given for the best
female and male costumes.
Students danced the night
away, and had a blast doing it.

The dance area was decorated
festively, and candy was provided.
In another room, there was
also a photo booth for students
to take pictures in their
costumes with their friends,
which is always a huge success
for any event.
Couldn’t make it to this
dance? You can always make it
to the one next year! If you can’t
seem to wait that long, there is
a possible ASLCSC-sponsored
Christmas dance that will be
coming up before we know it.
Don’t miss it!

Final bowl painting before
SOUPport our Shelters event
By Amanda Hindberg
of The Pathfinder
The final bowl painting event
for the YWCA SOUPport our
Shelters was on Wednesday, Oct.
28 at the Fourth Wall Studio and
Art Gallery, also where the Art
Uncorked studio is.
Similar to the last event at the
studio, painters could choose
from a variety of colors to paint
soup bowls any way they desired.
There were designs of Christmas
lights, a watermelon, a dog, a
skyline, and more.
There were not as many
painters present at the event as
Oct. 14, but there were still a
large amount of bowls painted.
About 900 bowls are needed
for the SOUPport our Shelters
fundraiser event in February.
Currently, there are no more
bowl painting events planned
for the future. If you missed your
chance to paint bowls, and you
still want to help support local
shelters, come to SOUPport our
Shelters on Friday, Feb. 26. You
can purchase a soup lunch in one
of the painted bowls, which you
can take with you, for just $25.
All proceeds will go to the
shelters and it greatly benefits
those in need. It is a great and
fun way to get involved in the
community and help others.

Opinion
From the Editor
We hear it all the time - get involved!
This advice really is spot on. It’s the experiences that we remember
and the connections that we make from being involved in campus
activities and clubs that make college fun. That said, intramural
volleyball is here! It’s my favorite activity of the school year.
I love playing volleyball and intramurals are a way for me to play
with my friends and have a great time. There is a league in fall semester
and again in spring. One league season just doesn’t last long enough
in my opinion.
If you like to play sports or meet new people by being active, join
intramurals. It’s always a good time.
Dallas Callahan
For those of you who went to the Halloween dance, you’ll know it
was hot, loud and fun. There were people dressed up as anything from
minions to hobos, and pretty much everything in between.
I like dances, not because I really love dancing. I do like to dance,
but I like dances because there are tons of people all dancing to the
same song, but moving to a different rhythm in a different way. I like
dances because everyone is too busy singing along to the songs over
the top of people, and dancing their own dance to care what everyone
else looks like. There’s no judgement, and frankly nobody cares, so
everyone is free to dance crazy, silly, awkwardly or basically however
they want. I like dances because they bring all different types of people
together for just a little bit, to sing and dance along to the same lyrics
and beat.

Council profile: Skate Pierce for Clarkston City
Council
Guest Submission
Katie Wahl
LCSC student
Like many young boys,
Clarkston resident and current
candidate for a seat on the
Clarkston City Council, Skate
Pierce, dreamed of becoming
an astronaut, or to follow in his
father’s footsteps to become an
insurance agent. Born in 1976
in Boise, Idaho, Skate spent his
childhood exploring the Hulls
Gulch reserve on the northern
edge of Boise where he lived with
his parents and brother for most
of his youth. Skate’s parents, both
Idahoans, first met in Moscow,
Idaho, but travelled the world
together, even lived in Australia
and Hawaii before having their
two children. They gave Skate
and his brother “lots of freedom
to experience childhood.” In the
wide open space surrounding
their Boise home, they could
explore wherever their feet or
bikes could take them. His family
often played sports together and
during his summer breaks, Skate
and his friends would hold home
run derbies at nearby elementary
schools, attempting homers
and taking on the roles of their
favorite baseball players.
By the time he reached high
school, Skate and his family had
moved to Lewiston, Idaho where
he remained until the early 1990s,
a time when popular culture was
rampantly pressing young high
school grads on to college so
they could get “rich-enough” and
live the great American dream.
So away he went to Moscow,
Idaho to study at the University
of Idaho where he spent his
extra time working and playing
intramural sports with a tight
group of friends who developed
an outstanding ultimate Frisbee
team thanks, in part, to one
player who could throw a Frisbee
an unmatched 100 yards. Skate’s
studies travelled down a few
different lanes before he realized
that his passion wasn’t found in
the textbooks that he spent so
much time reading and so much
money buying. “I started in
electrical engineering, but didn’t
feel passionate about it. I moved
on to education, first elementary
then secondary. I was really
influenced by my high school
math teacher Bob Yeoman. He
was amazing, and I wanted to
be just like him. When I did my
student teaching, I got to be in
the same building as him. I even
got to fill in for him a couple
times. In the end, none of it was
for me.”
Even if he appreciated his
studies and experiences during
his time at the University of
Idaho, Skate began to realize
that his pursuit of the American
dream was perhaps just a fancy
idea since his heart wasn’t in

Kevin Goodan and Kimberly Burwick read
their poetry for the Visiting Writer Series
By Lauren Lang
of The Pathfinder
On Oct. 30, the Humanities
Department of Lewis-Clark
State College hosted the Visiting
Writer Series with Kimberly
Burwick and Kevin Goodan at
the Center for Arts and History.
Professor Louis Sylvester made
an engaging brief introduction
about the event, about how
interesting poetry is as one of the
types of creative writing, and how
various meanings of poetry could
be interpreted by many different
people from different kinds of
perspectives. He also invited the
audience to let the poems wash
away the thoughts for that night.
Goodan opened up with
“Near the Heart of Happening“
from the “In the Ghost-House
Acquainted” (2004). Listening
to Goodan reading his poems
out loud is like music to your
ears. The tone and the rhythm
he read in was very soothing
and very relaxing, as if the
audience was really listening to
a song. Goodan explained some
historical background to give
a bit of understanding of the
context to the several poems he
was reading.
After Goodan was done
sharing his works to the
audience, he welcomed Burwick
to take the stage and take a turn
to read her poems. Burwick
started by reading a couple of
her poems from the “Horses in
the Cathedral” (2011). Then she
continued reading some more of
her poems from “Good Night
Brother” (2014).
What’s very interesting was,
Burwick shared some of her
works from her manuscripts that
created the intimacy between
the writer and the audience.
Burwick shared how the poems
were inspired from her listening
to a story about the parents’ grief
of losing newborn babies on
the radio. Some of her poems
lingered in the mind afterwards.
Then, she ended up the reading
with an uplifting poem from her
manuscript.
“It’s more about the discovering
what to write in writing poems
for me, as the ideas, inspiration
and images could just come
from everywhere.” said Burwick
when she was asked about where
she got the ideas for her poems
from.
Burwick is the author of
“Has No Kinsmen” (2006), the
recipient of national poetry
awards (C. P Cavafy Prize and
Black Warrior Review Award),
and also a professor of creative
writing at Washington State
University. Kevin Goodan is our
own English professor at LCSC,
he teaches creative writing, and
particularly poetry.

Tv Program Review
We scream for Halloween Scream Queens
By Amanda Wallace
of The Pathfinder
Every Halloween season, there are
always TV specials that celebrate the
holiday. Along with the TV specials,
TV shows often have their Halloween
episodes mixed in with their regular
programming. For an example, Glee
had done The Rocky Horror Glee
show, and Bones has a crossover
episode with Sleepy Hallow. If you
can think of a series, it probably has
a Halloween special. Ryan Murphy
chose to carry the Halloween special
tradition over to his new show:
Scream Queens.
I had finally gotten the chance to
get caught up on the show, and they
spread the Halloween episode into
three episodes. Over the course of
the three episodes, we had found out
what happened to Chanel #5 and
Ms. Bean (the house maid killed by
Chanel via a fryer in the first episode).
We also saw Chanel’s remake of the
famous maze from “The Shining.”
Also, Chanel had been charged for
murder of Ms. Bean in the second
episode, but she had gotten out. Not
only that, but one of the pledges
decided to run for President against
Chanel. In that time, the Red
Devil decided to take advantage of
Halloween and took things into their
hands by placing the missing people
into the haunted house. That’s where
Chanel #6 (Michele) and Chanel’s ex-
boyfriend, Chad, had found them.
Now the bodies had been revealed,
but someone who has been working
with the Red Devil was also revealed.
They were not on the list of suspects,
so this really changes the game.
You’re in for a treat with the
upcoming episodes because the show
comes in touch with its supernatural
side. Trust me, you don’t want to
miss this one, especially because
Ariana Grande (Chanel #2) will be
coming back after her death at the
beginning of the season. It will also
be interesting to see Nick Jonas, since
we haven’t seen him since he faked
his death and began working with
the Red Devil. This season has a lot
going on so far; so much has already
been covered, and it’s only the sixth
episode. Scream Queens is showing
they’ve got something to prove. It has
been a roller coaster of emotions and
murders.
Will the murders end before
Christmas? Will Chad (Chanel’s exboyfriend) ever see his best friend
Bonne again? Are more people going
to get their arms sawed off before
Bonne’s appearance? Will we find
out if the Dean is the Red Devil?
There are a lot of cliffhangers leaving
us wondering and eager for the next
episode every time. When will know
the answers?
Tune in to Scream Queens to find
out!
Scream Queens is on FOX on
Tuesday Nights at 9 p.m.
Courtesy FOXNOW
The audience of Scream Queens is dying to know who’s behind the
mask of the Red Devil.

Stand up Comedy Review
Anjelah Johnson gets the laughs in new Netflix
special
By Katie Babino
of The Pathfinder
If you like watching stand up
comedy, Netflix offers a wide
variety of comedic specials.
Amy Schumer, Donald Glover
(otherwise known as Childish
Gambino), Chris D’Elia, Kevin
Hart and Aziz Ansari are just a
few of the comics whose work is
available for instant streaming
on Netflix.
A lesser-known stand-up
comedian who is accessible to
streamers is named Anjelah
Johnson. She has three specials
on Netflix, “That’s How We Do
It” (2010), “Anjelah Johnson:
The Homecoming Show” (2013)
and her newest special, “Anjelah
Johnson: Not Fancy” (2015).
All three of these specials are
guaranteed to make viewers
laugh as Johnson tackles subjects
such as marriage, being Latina,
growing up poor, Christian
rap music, hair salons, and her
career as a Raiderette.
Johnson manages to be
funny without any vulgarity or
bad language, something most
stand-up comics rely on these
days. Her biggest strength is
when she tells stories about her
own experiences, making her
relatable. Johnson does many
different things throughout each
special: accents, physical comedy,
and even some dancing and beat
boxing. Johnson will take the
comedy world by storm, just you
wait.

book Review
A comment on characters
By Hannah Mitchell
of The Pathfinder
would agree … up to a point.
Character faults are seldom
unintentional. For example, I
can wholeheartedly vouch for
the literary merit of “The Great
Gatsby,” and in the same breath
tell you how idiotically shallow
each and every character is and
how much I despise them. But of
course, that’s the whole point of
the story.
The difference is this: I can
understand why Gatsby pursues
Daisy. I cannot understand why
Beth pursues the firefly.
While people will always have
faults and make bad choices, the
reader should ultimately be able to
understand why they did what
they did. Every great detective
knows a criminal needs a motive.
Well, motive should apply to the
detectives as well, even impromptu
ones like Beth.
And yet Beth’s relationship
with the mystical firefly remains
a mystery to the readers. The
first night she is bemused by its
dance, the next couple nights she
is reduced to screaming hysteria
… and a few nights after that
she is following it out into the
woods? If she really convinced it’s
a bug, why doesn’t she just take a
flyswatter to it?
The beginning of any story is
extremely crucial, but at the same
time extremely easy to gloss over.
Some authors may be anxious to
get into the meat of the plot, and
it comes across in their writing.
I would be so bold as to say it
comes across in Pentermann’s
writing considering her weak
set up of the action, which may
detract from the rest of the story
for some readers, as it did for me.
Had she taken a bit more time to
develop Beth’s reactions to the
firefly, it would have rendered
the story much more believable
and intriguing. As it stands
however, I must say it was a bit
too mysterious for my taste.
Meira Pentermann’s ,“Firefly
Beach” is a detective/ghost story
about a cynical, passionless
woman named Beth who moves
to Maine to pursue an interest in
painting. On her first night, she
sees what appears to be a bold
firefly flitting around in the dark.
She finds herself simultaneously
frightened and fascinated by the
phenomenon and follows it.
The firefly leads her to various
puzzle pieces concerning a girl
named Katherine who went
missing about thirty years ago.
Most people assume she ran off
with her boyfriend when her
father didn’t approve, but the
trail of clues leads Beth to believe
otherwise and she follows them
down a path that leads her not
only into Katherine’s past, but
her own as well.
That’s all well and good, but
I wish to discuss the characters
rather than the plot of the book.
The story is populated by a wide
assortment of personalities: A
quiet recluse with a tortured
past, a bitter old man, a helpful
idealist, a town busybody, and a
town busybody wannabe. They
are each entertaining in their own
way, for minor characters. But the
main character leaves much to be
desired.
Beth starts out being virtually
emotionless
and
extremely
difficult to relate to. She leaves
her accounting career after her
husband divorces her, though
she barely mourns the “loveless
marriage.” She admits that she is
more stimulated by numbers than
social interaction. Throughout
most of the story she has an easier
time identifying with Katherine’s
diary than with any person
around her.
Now it may be argued that her
emotional deficiencies are the
entire crux of the book. “Isn’t the
point of the story for her to come
out of her shell, to reach out and

Manning shakes his head at his performance.
By Taylor Marshall
of The Pathfinder
Andy Dalton and Peyton Manning. Two
quarterbacks playing for undefeated teams and two
men who have had polar opposite seasons thus
far.
Manning has been one of the worst quarterbacks
statistically this season, and many have questioned
if the old veterans career will soon end. The
Broncos quarterback is one of the all time greats,
and on Sunday he was great once again.
Dalton has been solid in the first few seasons
but has yet to win a playoff game in his career. This
season, Cincinatti’s fiery leader has been terrific
and was the AFC offensive player of the month in
October. But the old Dalton was back last Sunday
against the Steelers. Dalton threw two interceptions
and was ineffective for most of the game, however
his team still managed to win.
Denver has lofty expectations this season. The
Broncos boast one of the best defenses in the NFL,
as well as great offensive weapons and the team
needs Manning to play better if they are going to
win a Super Bowl. For the first time in his career
Peyton in the weak link on his team.
Entering the season Andy Dalton was on the hot
seat. He lead his team to the playoffs every season
but failed to win any of those games. Cincinnati is
loaded with talent and Dalton added to that with
his superb play. The Bengal quarterback will not be
able to play like he did Sunday if his team is going
to win a playoff game.
So this begs the question: will Peyton Manning
return to his former glory and will Andy Dalton
begin to falter now that the pressure on him is
rising?

Dalton gets ready to throw.
If the Montana State-Northern
women’s volleyball team was
hoping to do a little trick-ortreating against Lewis-Clark State
College on Thursday night, it
left the Activity Center extremely
disappointed.
Think Charlie Brown going
through his candy bag and finding
nothing but rocks.
The Warriors made sure the
only thing that was scary was
how hard their attackers were
hitting the ball as LCSC simply
overpowered their visitors 2519, 25-19, 25-9 in Frontier
Conference play. The win lifts
LCSC to 7-3 in league and 18-10
overall.
LCSC hit .364 on the night
and collected nearly twice as
many kills as the Skylights to
roll to its eighth victory in its
last nine matches. The Warriors,
who received votes in this week’s
NAIA Top 25 poll, collected 48
kills to 25 for MSU-Northern.
“We got another W,” LCSC
coach LaToya Harris-Alexander
said. “Offensively, we hit very
well and at the end, we served
very aggressively, which helped us
pull away.”
Thanks to its strong play at the
net, the Warriors only trailed once
on the night at 1-0 in the second
game. Still, in the first two games,
LCSC wasn’t able to pull away
until late. The third game was a
different story as the Warriors
dominated from the start.
“We just needed not to focus
on winning and focus instead
on just having fun. That’s what
helped us in the third set,” Harris-
Alexander said. “We seemed to
be so wrapped up in ‘we have to
win’ but once we settled down
and started to enjoy it, we played
better.”
Senior
Treneisha
Doyle
(SR/Vancouver, Wash.) led
the Warriors with 14 kills, two
service aces, and a .500 hitting
percentage. Kennadie Clute (JR/
Spokane, Wash.) added 12 kills,
three service aces and eight digs,
while JaLisa Jose (SR/Clarkston,
Wash.) added seven kills and also
hit .500 on the night.
“It was definitely a little slower
tonight but we knew Montana
State-Northern was a scrappy
team,” Doyle said. “We finally
started to play with some fire,
but it was definitely a slow start
for us.”
Maya
Williamson
(SO/
Auburn, Wash.) chipped in six
kills, Rachel Gregg (FR/Eagle
River, Alaska) added five, and
Stephanie Ovitz (JR/Chico,
Calif.) had four for the balanced
Warrior attack. Robin Schirmer
added 20 assists, while Darby
Santos (SO/Spokane, Wash.)
had 17.
In the first game, LCSC rolled
out to an 8-1 lead, but MSUNorthern rallied to cut it to 16-14.
The Skylights kept it close until
the end when the Warriors pulled
away. Clute had five kills in the
game, while Doyle added four as
LCSC hit .400 in the contest.
In the second game, the
Warriors led 6-2, but MSUNorthern again cut the lead to
two points midway through.
LCSC put together a 9-4 run to
pull away.
In the third game, it was all
LCSC. The Warriors led 6-4

and then went on a 15-2 run,
including nine straight points, to
roll to the win.
“I don’t think we came out and
played our best match to begin
with, but I believe we are the
best team in the conference 100
percent,” Doyle said. “We have a
good team.”

there is always a different dinner
special in addition to the best
desert you will ever have simply
because it was made fresh by
Hogan’s legend, Grandma Ann.
After the dinner crowd departs,
the nightlife begins often with
great live music and a back
patio to relax and converse with
the diverse crowd. If you have
a chance to visit Hogan’s Pub,
please do not hesitate!
Skate’s charisma keeps people
coming back to Hogan’s, but
it’s really his love for people that
hooks them. Skate doesn’t stand
over his guests to take their orders,
but often sits with them at their
table or kneels to their level. He is
real and people need authenticity
in this plastic world of bullshit
and facades. He enjoys engaging
his customers on a personal level
to find out “what they do and
how they feel about the world.
It’s amazing what you can learn
by just talking to someone. I now
have a lot of people I can count
on because of that.”
Skate’s heart is huge and it
shows that he cares about every
single guest. I had the pleasure of
working with Skate at Hogan’s for
several years. There, I witnessed his
solid integrity, care for humans in
general, and unreserved intellect.
Not only does he possess a broad
spectrum of knowledge, I’ve seen
Skate process numbers in his
head that, for me, would require
a spread sheet and calculator.
Not only that, but it’s no marvel
that, after going on a couple
of decades in the restaurant
industry, Skate knows the ins
compassionate nature combined
with his spreading roots in
the Lewis-Clark valley, it’s no
surprise that Skate wants to be
more involved in his community.
He is currently running for a seat
in the Clarkston City Council
because he “couldn’t believe the
appalling lack of decorum and
mistreatment of the community
by our elected officials. They
treated people who didn’t agree
with them like pariahs…In our
representative democracy at a
local level, the council shouldn’t
be fighting the will of the voter.”
Skate envisions a greater place for
his children and the children of
his community. After all, Skate is
a team player who realizes that a
community is essentially a huge
team that evolves and requires
change. He knows that with
care and compassion, the valley
would be a better place. Skate’s
caring nature projects into all
aspects of his life, but his ultimate
passions revolve around helping
people. “I try really hard to be
an understanding, conscientious
and non-judgmental person.
Actually, it’s really not trying,
it’s largely just my nature. No
one can be that way 100% of
the time, but it’s a nice goal to
have. That attitude is missing
from a large percentage of our
representatives.”
Skate’s ultimate goal is to
bring a fresh perspective to the
Clarkston City Council. Naturally
empathetic and compassionate,
Skate will look out for the best
interests of the entire diverse
community of Clarkston. The
Clarkston community largely
feels as though they are not being
heard nor taken seriously by the
current Council members, so
there is great stress to replace them
with people who will accurately
represent their community’s
needs. Skate emphasizes that “if
we can replace all the seats that
are available, many of the issues
I have will be solved. Currently
citizens feel disenfranchised by
the council. They feel as if the
city doesn’t value them, or their
input.”
Skate knows that it takes
more than crunching numbers
to make a community thrive. A
thriving community is a living,
breathing organism that, like all
living things, must be nurtured,
cared for, loved, but should
not be silenced, blanketed nor
ignored. Balance is a huge part of
a healthy organism, but balance
can only be attained when the
entire organism (or in this case
the community of Clarkston)
is functioning together as a
whole. When one eye is closed,
the other must work harder to
see. When one leg is broken,
the other must work harder to
compensate. When the heart
stops beating, the community
will perish. Skate wants to ensure
that his community is balanced,
strong at its core and thriving for
his children and your children.

Council.

the game. He eventually moved
back to the Lewis-Clark valley,
where working in the restaurant
industry, Skate discovered his
passion of connecting with
people. Also, since his roots are
steeped in sports, working on a
team was no stranger to Skate.
As it turns out, working on a
team is essential to the success
of a restaurant. Among other
appreciated lessons, sports taught
Skate the value of teamwork
and his success in the restaurant
industry over the last decade
reflects this. When the “time
is right, with the right concept
and people around,” Skate will
someday have his own restaurant.
“I’ve been working with people
from around the Northwest to
try to put together that dynamic
combination. It’s going to take
baby steps to change the entire
drinking and dining culture of
the valley. There’s a small group
of people who are chipping
away at that wall right now. It’s
happening.”
Head down to Hogan’s Pub in
Clarkston, Washington where you
will most certainly find decadelong-employee, Skate Piece,
running the show with his solid
team of employees. Hogan’s is
owned by Chef Tony Salerno and
run by a fantastic crew of people
who love and appreciate quality
food, cocktails and service. The
ambiance of Hogan’s is a warm
and welcoming neighborhood
pub with interior walls stretching
15 feet high giving it an open
feel despite its cozy dining space.
During the weekends at Hogan’s,
and outs of customer service to
the point where he may as well
be blindfolded. His caring nature
coupled with his dedication to
his craft and customer service
has earned him a broad clientele
base – he knows a lot of people
who love and respect him. When
asking Skate about how he plans
to promote his campaign he
confidently expresses, “I have a bit
of local notoriety from my decade
at Hogan’s. I’ve made a favorable
impression on quite a few people
from every walk of life in the
valley. The people who know me,
are more than willing to support
me, and share my campaign page
on Facebook.” You can find more
information about Skate and his
campaign for a seat in Clarkton
City Council at www.facebook.
com/skateforclarkston.
In the past decade, Skate has
rooted himself into the LewisClark valley where he and his
wife Meghan have started a
family and have 2 children – a
4-year-old daughter and a 9-yearold son. Meghan and Skate are
active with their kids, riding
bikes around town, playing
outdoors and helping out at
their schools. Meghan, owner of
Tap Intuit Massage Therapy in
Clarkston and Reiki Master, is
one of five board members who
serve as a volunteer Director on
the Clarkston School Board.
“She works with the board, the
superintendent and the district
office to create a vision for the
best possible district we can
have.”
