LCSC FOUNDATION
President’s Message
2015 was a great year for LewisClark State College. From a national
championship, to record numbers of
graduates and degrees awarded at
spring commencement, to accolades,
building renovations, and initiatives
started, it is not difficult to look back
on the past year with a sense of
accomplishment and to hold high
hopes for the year ahead.
To name one highlight from last
year as above the rest is practically
impossible, however, the Warrior
baseball team dogpiling near the
mound of historic Harris Field in
celebration of the program’s 17th
national title has to rank near the
top. I again congratulate Head Coach
Jeremiah Robbins and his players on
winning the team’s first title since
2008 and thank them for being
outstanding ambassadors of LewisClark State College.
Speaking of national publicity, LCSC
was fortunate enough to be ranked
in a pair of nationwide rankings in
2015. In September, U.S. News &
World Report selected LCSC as the
fifth best college in the West among
public institutions, and in October
The Economist ranked LCSC second
in Idaho in its first-ever economic
value rankings. While the idea that
LCSC provides a first-class education
is nothing new to those familiar with
the institution, we are always excited
when outside sources help spread
the word that Lewis-Clark State is a
great undergraduate college.
The good news about LCSC seems
to be reaching more and more ears
lately, as indicated by the school’s
record number of graduates (792)
and degrees awarded (844) at
May’s commencement ceremonies.
This was followed by strong fall
enrollment numbers. According to
Oct. 15’s official report, LCSC had
an 8.8 percent increase in new
entering students and a 4.1 percent
increase in students coming straight
from high school. With enrollment
heading in the right direction and
more students graduating from LCSC
than ever before, the future of our
fine institution looks bright and I’m
excited to be a part of it.
Also in October, Lewis-Clark State
saw its first homecoming since 1979
come and go. Warrior Homecoming
2015 went off without a hitch and
will serve as a solid foundation from
which to continue to rebuild this
great tradition at LCSC. We thank
the hundreds of alumni, faculty and
staff members, students, and friends
of the college who took part in the
three-day festivities and look forward
to seeing you all again next fall.
Not to be overshadowed by October,
September brought quite a bit
of good news as well, including
the announcement that our TRIO
Student Support Services program
received a $1.6 million grant from
the U.S. Department of Education.
We again congratulate the Student
Support Services office and wish
them continued success in providing
critical help to students in need.
Speaking of awards, for the second
time in as many years Lewis-Clark
State received the Orchid Award for
Excellence in Historic Preservation &
Contribution to Historic Preservation.
LCSC was honored for the renovation
of the Silverthorne Theater and, if
you haven’t already, I encourage you
pay a visit to campus and see how
beautifully the project turned out.
The LCSC Work Scholars program,
the only one of its kind in Idaho, was
launched in
2015. The
program,
which
pairs highachieving
students
with
meaningful
on-campus
jobs, began in the fall thanks to
$209,000 in annual funding from
the Idaho Legislature. Each student
receives a full tuition scholarship
for the academic year. Eleven
students participated in the inaugural
semester, and program coordinators
have expanded the program to 20
this spring.
The accomplishments named in this
short letter, and the many others not
mentioned, are a testament to the
wonderful students who have walked
through our halls, the hardworking
faculty and staff members who
continue stand out among their
peers, and the generous support
of the college’s many friends and
alumni. Speaking of the latter, I
would be remiss if I did not mention
the record-setting year the LCSC
Foundation had as it distributed a
record $603,198 in scholarships
and awards during the 2015 fiscal
year. I thank all those who bear and
bolster the name of Lewis-Clark State
College.
Established in 1893, LCSC has a
storied history full of milestones,
major accomplishments, and
successful alumni, and I am
confident the college’s best years are
still ahead.

Winter 2015-16 • Journey
The Lewis-Clark State College
Foundation continues to work hard
to assist students and the institution
where needed. We strive to enhance
our programs, to increase student
scholarships and come up with new
ideas that will make a huge difference
in the future of Lewis-Clark State
College. This Foundation has just
completed its strategic planning
meeting and is developing its five
year plan. A great discussion by this
dedicated board brought some new
and exciting ideas that will help with
future growth at LCSC. Thank you to all
who participated as it truly was a great
evening.
The Foundation is in the process of
finalizing the Tennis Center remodel.
This 1,300 square foot addition brings
a large team room along with new
bathrooms and a nice office space
for its Coach Kai Fong. The project
also includes two great viewing areas
for spectators. The Foundation took
alumni
the lead on this capital project as
the Board felt that infrastructure
improvements should also be a part
of our fundraising plan. It was a great
project and we look forward to future
development on campus.
The Foundation strives to be proactive
as student numbers continue to rise
and the need for increased donations
becomes apparent. This is where
we could use your help. Every dollar
donated to the Foundation goes to
students, faculty development, campus
programs and capital projects. If you
feel the need to donate, please contact
Erika Allen at the Foundation office,
792-2458. She can assist you with
your questions and help you join others
who are making a difference.
On a side note, the Foundation Board
would like to congratulate Mr. Mike
Ripley, former Foundation President, on
a happy and well deserved retirement. Bradley A. Cannon

President, LCSC Foundation
association
As part of the graduating class of 2000, I remember the
overwhelming feeling on graduation day when I was welcomed and acknowledged as a member of the LCSC Alumni
Association. Since that time, I have had the honor of being
mentored by and have worked along side many LCSC alums.
Giving back, developing alumni relationships and showing
our “Warrior Pride” is what this Association is all about. I am
very humbled and appreciative to serve as your President for
the next two years.
The Alumni Association has been very busy since the
beginning of the Fall Semester welcoming new students to
our campuses, helping plan the first Homecoming event
since 1979, and organizing our community outreach event
“Blooms and Brews,” just to name a few. All of these events
were a huge success and I hope you were able to attend and
share your experiences as alumni!
Our various alumni chapters in Lewiston, Coeur d’Alene,
Boise, Pocatello and our Native American Chapter are carrying forward their hard work into 2016 and are planning more
fantastic alumni events for you to attend. If you are not yet
connected, please find or ‘like’ us on Facebook at LewisClark Alumni & Friends or online at www.lcsc.edu/alumni to
keep up with our various activities and causes or to simply
see all the benefits you receive as an alum.
This association values you and will carry forward into 2016

Owner of 4k
Radio. He
is not only
a very well
respected
business
owner,
but a very
dedicated
member of
the LCSC
Foundation
Board of Directors and also the Warrior
Athletic Association. His passion and
drive, which served his business well,
now continues at LCSC as he has been
an involved Board Member for many
years. He truly is a shining star in this
community and we wish him and his
wife Sharon a great retirement.
the Association’s long-term goals
of providing community based
alumni activities, establishing
and expanding scholarships
and mentorship programs for
current and future students, and
enhancing our relationships with
alumni partners and supporters.
If history is any indicator, these
goals can be easily reached
with your generous support and
involvement. I encourage you
to come to campus and experience its current culture, attend
an event to reconnect with former classmates or to cheer on
our Warriors at an athletic event--this is YOUR association.
Staying connected and being involved will quickly remind you
of why we are all proud Warriors!
I am excited to see this Association move forward and welcome your input and suggestions. Your vision and perspective is important to this Association.
Again, I am grateful for this opportunity to serve with you,
and GO WARRIORS!

year run, TESLA has served some 200
teachers in Region 2, impacted more
than 6,000 students, and will continue
to affect even more students well into
the future. Most importantly, the TESLA
program’s impacts have demonstrated
staying power. Most students typically
end the school year on grade level but regress academically by one to two months
by the time school starts up again in the
fall. TESLA students, on average, leave
for the summer one-and-a-half grade levels above their current grade and show
little or no regression over the summer.
TESLA has been the model for Math/Science Partnership grants in Idaho not just
because of its curriculum and training,
but because of all the teachers who have
worked to implement the program with
fidelity. Come spring the TESLA grant will
close for the last time. We wish to thank
all those who worked so hard to make
it a success and mention the following

The Idaho Regional Mathematics Center, directed by Dr. Amy Page, has provided professional mathematics support
in both content and pedagogy to K-12
teachers in Region-II. The most recent
math academy was about “Number
Talks” which helps teach students to
understand the numerical relationships
that are so critical to understanding
mathematics. Through “Number Talks,”
students learn that mathematics is an
open and visual subject in which all math
problems can be solved using different
methods and pathways. The Regional
Mathematics Center also offers Teaching
Mathematical Thinking (TMT) courses for
in-service teachers, a required course for
re-certification in Idaho. The Center offers both on campus and in school support in mathematics to all teachers in
Region-II. In addition, it possesses an extensive library of materials available for

Work Scholars: Taking Learning to Work
There’s a new program on campus that
is receiving strong support from the
Idaho State Board of Education and rave
reviews from students and supervisors
involved. Launched this fall, thanks to
$206,000 in annual funding from the
Idaho Legislature, the Lewis-Clark State
College Work Scholars program pairs high
achieving LCSC students with on and
off campus jobs. The goal is to alleviate
the financial burden of higher education.
LC Work Scholars, the only program
of its kind in Idaho, provides students
the opportunity to gain valuable work
experience and build professional skills in
addition to earning a degree.
Currently, 22 students have been selected
to participate as LC Work Scholars
based on an extensive set of criteria.
The program requires students to work a
minimum of 10 hours per week during the
academic year, while maintaining at least
a 3.0 GPA. All students are required to
participate in community service projects
as well. In return, students in the program
receive a tuition scholarship and a $750
stipend per semester.
Andy Gehring, the first off-campus Work
Scholar, works as a diesel mechanic for
Summit Utility Contractors. In January,
Gehring will represent LCSC at the
Industrial and Technical Board meeting in
Boise where he will visit with legislators,
Andy Gehring is the first Work Scholar to
work for an off-campus business.

“They’ll be talking with me about how the
program is going. I’m excited to see what
is in store!”
Supervisors and worksites, also selected
based on extensive criteria, are tasked
with providing jobs that are meaningful,
necessary, and separate from work-study
positions already offered. The program
has 31 approved worksites, five are
offered by community partners. According
to Erin Cassetto, LC Work Scholars
coordinator, “Our Work Scholars have
been successful both on and off campus.
Our business partners have really taken
notice of what these students have to
offer.”
Students have risen to the occasions.
Work Scholar Janet Daniels was highly
praised by her supervisor Traci Noyes in a
letter to LCSC Vice President for Student
Affairs Andy Hanson. Noyes wrote: “My

provided the student with food vouchers
for the next six months. Janet gave us a
great new resource that I was unaware
of.” Noyes added, this was only Janet’s
“second day on the job…Wonder what will
happen tomorrow?”

the Marketing Assistant in Events and
Campus Cards, according to his supervisor
Julie Crea. With a minor in business
administration, Beeson is thinking about
his future and sees the far reaching
benefits of his Work Scholar experience.
“I want to own my own business, and I
recognize the benefits of having multiple
skills. Marketing is the most essential part
of business… If you can’t market, then you
can’t sell.”
A fun group of alumni and friends gathered at
Patt’s Garden Center in Clarkston last October.
The group enjoyed food and drink while creating
a fall themed blooming masterpiece.
The unique nature of the program has
made it of particular interest to the
Idaho State Board of Education, private
foundations and LCSC alumni. In a
recent Lewiston Tribune article, LCSC
President Tony Fernández said, “I’d love
to see [Work Scholars] expand and I think
there’s room to grow. If the state wants to
increase support, that would be great, but
I think there’s room for private funding to
come into play.”
The program is definitely headed in
that direction, Cassetto explained, “The
appropriated funds from the legislature
supports about 20 Work Scholars, and
thanks to community business partners
we’ve been able to add additional
positions for the spring 2016 semester.”
For more information, please contact
Work Scholars Coordinator Erin Cassetto
at elcassetto@lcsc.edu or 208-792-2084.

Alumni Spotlight
“Abraham Lincoln”;
the Broadway
musical “Grab the
Ring”; and a musical
adaptation of “Alice
in Wonderland.”
Larry Heimgartner gets a little emotional when
remembering his good friend Bob Howard from their
early days in Lewiston and later at Lewis-Clark State
College in the 1960s.
He also wrote a
variety of plays
that had a moral
message for
children. He took
those plays around
the Los Angeles area
and that helped
earn him the Eugene
Pimentel Award for
Teaching Excellence.
Larry Heimgartner
It’s understandable though because Heimgartner is
good with bringing out emotions, especially pulling at
the emotional strings of his theater audiences, which
he has been doing for years.
Heimgartner, a 1970 graduate of LCSC, has spent
the past 45 years as an accomplished writer, director
and producer of theater works that deal with tough
social and economic issues both in the United States
and abroad. His work – along with his generosity –
has been lauded by many.
He served as a professor and chair of the Theater
Department at Los Angeles Harbor College in
Wilmington, Calif., for more than 40 years where his
work was even honored by the California Legislature.
After his retirement in 2010, he was an adjunct
professor at the college and continued to take his
works abroad.
Before one such trip to Scotland last fall,
Heimgartner and his wife, Debbie, ventured to
Lewiston for the first time in a while. Larry had
a 1965 class reunion at Lewiston High that he
attended, but he also wanted to honor his old friend,
Bob, who passed away a few years ago.
“Our front doors were about 100 feet apart growing
up and then we hung out later after he served in the
Vietnam War,” Heimgartner said. “He and I used to
have lots of discussions about that war and life in
general. He was a great guy.”
To honor his friend, Heimgartner sponsored to have
a tree planted on the east side of the Administration
Building on the LCSC campus and also a bench to sit
on.
“On a hot summer day in July, people can sit under
this tree and ponder things,” Heimgartner says.
18
“For me, it’s a chance to
think about Bob and honor
his memory. This was a
beautiful valley to grow up
in and LCSC was a great
place for me. I have a lot of
fond memories here.”
Heimgartner earned his
degree in Theater and
English at LCSC. He served
as Student Body President
for a year and also was
named the Outstanding
Student of the Year when
he graduated.
“I spent a lot of time in the
presence of Don Johnson,
John Nydinger, Steve Evans
and John Barker, who all
gave this youngster lots of
attention,” Heimgartner
says. “We had fun both in and out of the classroom.
Every week we’d have a potluck dinner and just get
together.”
Heimgartner actually started college at the University
of Idaho, but spent summers fighting fires. After a big
fire in the China Creek area in 1968, Heimgartner
got back a few days late for the semester and Idaho
denied him admission. So he enrolled at LCSC
and one of the first classes he signed up for was
taught by Nydinger and featured the 1882 play by
Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen “An Enemy of the
People.” That hooked Heimgartner.
He taught a variety of theater classes at the college
and is even responsible for getting an Emmy winning
music group back together, albeit for one play. In
1993, Heimgartner discovered he had Jeannette
Hawes as a student. Hawes is one of three sisters
that formed the 1970s pop group The Emotions. The
trio won a Grammy in 1978 for Best Song of the Year
for “Best of My Love.”
“John was a great guy and very inspirational,”
Heimgartner said. “He let me help with directing and
I enjoyed directing and writing more than acting so
that’s what led me down my path.”
Despite the fame, the group stopped performing
in 1985 following the death of their manager and
father. With Hawes as a student, Heimgartner
learned about the family and then helped Hawes
write an autobiographical musical, “Bigger Than
Bubblegum”, which the sisters performed at the
college. The musical followed their trials and
tribulations, which became a theme for many of
Heimgartner’s works.
Upon graduation, Heimgartner taught high school for
a year outside of Los Angeles before he accepted a
position at L.A. Harbor.
Over the course of his tenure at Harbor College
he wrote, produced and directed many original
theatrical productions, including the one man show
Heimgartner also
has consorted with
his wife on a number
of plays that covered
touchy social topics,
such as AIDs and
disease. They have
taken these plays on
Debbie and Larry Heimgartner
the road to parts of
the U.S. and Europe,
and he has conducted study programs in Europe
through a cooperative exchange program with
England’s Barnsley College.
“I’ve written several full-length musicals, one
Broadway play, 10 children’s theater plays and a few
other things,” he says.
Heimgartner also wrote several plays on wars,
including one about Chief Joseph and the War of
1877, which was performed in Europe last fall.
He also wrote a play on Jose Gutierrez, one of the
first United State soldiers to be killed in Iraq in
2003. The play focused on Gutierrez being born in
Guatemala and his battles to become a U.S. citizen.
“I want to educate and engage the people who
are watching my plays,” Heimgartner says. “It’s
something I learned in college at Lewis-Clark
State that I’ve always carried with me. You want to
challenge your audience.”
19
Lewis-Clark State College held
its first official homecoming
since 1979 on October 22-24.
Over 20 events filled the
three-day celebration and
gave the 975 registered
alumni, students, faculty/staff
members and their guests a
broad menu of activities to
participate in.

Utilizing an approach much different
than other college ranking systems,
The Economist analyzed the
expected earnings of a graduate
compared with their actual median
earnings. The colleges with the
largest positive gap were ranked
higher.
LCSC came in at the 50th percentile
overall out of 1,275 schools
nationally, leading many marquee
universities, and was No. 2 in the
Gem State thanks to its graduate
earning levels being very close to
expected earnings.
“The measurements of the value
and success of post-secondary
institutions are at times very
complex. The Economist used a
more analytical approach than
many of the often used standard
measures,” LCSC President J.
Anthony Fernández said. “This
ranking again confirms the value of
an education from LCSC.”
The Economist defined economic
value as the gap between how
much money its graduates earn and
how much they might have made
had they studied elsewhere. To
determine this difference, it pulled
data from the U.S. Department of
Education’s “scorecard” website. It
found that certain factors correlate
with high earnings, like SAT scores.
High scorers earn high salaries, no
matter where they go. Location is
also important, as urban schools
tend to have graduates who make
more money. If a school has high
numbers of engineers or business
majors, earnings also go up.
The
Economist
created a
model to
combine
all of these
factors and
determine
what alumni
should
theoretically
make after
graduating from a specific college.
Topping the list was Washington and
Lee University, a small, elite private
school in Virginia. In Idaho, only the
University of Idaho was listed ahead
of LCSC.
Offering the lowest tuition among
four-year public institutions in Idaho,
LCSC set records for both graduates
and degrees awarded in the spring
and announced an uptick in head
count, including an 8.8 percent
increase in new entering students,
this fall.
U.S. News ranks LCSC 5th among public colleges in the West
The U.S. News & World Report Best Colleges rankings
were released and Lewis-Clark State College was
ranked as the fifth best college in the West among
public institutions, and the 26th best college in the
West overall.
The rankings are based on a number of factors
including assessment by administrators at peer
institutions, retention of students, faculty resources,
student
selectivity,
financial
resources, alumni
giving, and
graduation rate
performance.
Among being one of the most affordable options,
with the lowest tuition among Idaho’s four-year public
institutions, LCSC received solid marks for its small
class sizes and the reputation of its programs.
The U.S. News rankings included 363 regional colleges,
which are defined in accordance with the Carnegie
Classification of Institutions of Higher Education as
schools that focus almost entirely on the undergraduate
experience and offer a broad range of programs in the
liberal arts and in fields such as business, nursing, and
education.
U.S. News and World Report, based in Washington, D.C.,
has published its annual Best Colleges report since
1983.

that team and the names Harris, Reed,
Decker and others, and this was how we
did it (winning the title),” Brett says. “Ed
(then-coach Ed Cheff) did a great job of
building that team, but Jeremiah (current
coach Jeremiah Robbins) has done a
great job as well of creating the right
mentality.”
Ah, the right mentality. That’s the
mentality that was the key ingredient
for Cheff in turning LCSC into a baseball
dynasty. He instilled in his players a
mental toughness so that they could
handle any situation that arose. Some
players handled it better than others,
but most still rely on that toughness in
their everyday lives. Once such individual
is Brett, who co-owns Well Connected
Electric in Lewiston where Zach now
works.

CHAMPIONS
The championship rings worn by a
father and a son could be considered
as just jewelry or symbols of NAIA World
Series titles won by both 28 years apart.
However, for Lewiston’s Brett Holley and
his son Zach, these rings have much
deeper meanings – that of love, respect,
manhood and, yes, a family bond.
They went through a lot to get these
rings, each taking their own unique path
to reach the same wonderful outcome
– a championship in their final year in a
Warrior baseball uniform.
With Brett playing on the 1987 Warrior
baseball team and Zach on last year’s
LC squad, they are believed to be the
first father-son duo to win NAIA national
baseball titles as players. Brett says he
can’t find another father-son duo at the
NAIA level and isn’t sure if it’s been done
at any level of collegiate baseball.
“That’s pretty awesome,” Brett says
proudly. “I kind of knew about it going
into last year. And it was his senior year
so if it was going to happen, it had to
happen then.”
“It means a lot to me because it’s a
pretty big accomplishment,” Zach says.
30
“I’m proud we could both win a title
here.”
Zach had come close to a title in the
previous two seasons when the Warriors
made the championship game, only to
finish second. It also appeared LCSC was
heading down that path last year when
St. Thomas took a 7-1 lead in the fifth
inning. The game was then delayed by
lightning, only to have LCSC rally for nine
straight runs after action resumed for a
10-7 win and the program’s NAIA-leading
17th national title.
“I was thinking ‘Oh God, this is going to
slip away again,’ ” Brett says about the
early deficit in the title game. “But then
lightning struck, literally.”
“It was great finally getting to the top,”
says Zach, who like his father was an
outfielder at LCSC. “After we won, it was
kind of a blur for about a week. It took a
while for it all to sink in.”
Brett played for what arguably is
considered the best LCSC team to win
the title. The 1987 team posted a 55-10
record. In the Series, the Warriors scored
105 runs in six games and outscored
the opposition by average of 12 runs a
game – both tournament records that
still stand today. The LCSC record book
is also littered with individual season
marks. Among the names, Brett Holley,
who is tied for fifth in doubles for a single
season at 26, 12th in batting average at
.429, and 14th in runs scored with 82.
Some of the names from that team –
Montie Phillips, Lonnie Phillips, Rusty
Harris, Pat Mackey, Steve Decker,
Steve Reed and Galen Sonntag – are
still talked about today. A few still live
in Lewiston and Brett has remained in
touch with most. When the ’87 club was
inducted into the athletic department’s
newly-formed Hall of Fame last spring,
it was Holley’s house that served as the
hub for the group.
Brett began coaching Zach’s baseball
teams when Zach was 10. By the time
Zach graduated from Lewiston High,
Brett has been on the coaching staff of
his baseball teams for all but two spring
or summer seasons.
“From my standpoint, I was way harder
on him than anyone else,” Brett says.
“One reason is because it was easier
to pull him out of a game to substitute
rather than make someone else mad.
But I also wanted to make him tough. Ed
had a way of when you were sitting in the
captain’s chair of knocking you back to
the stern. So I was pretty tough on him.
My wife (Jennifer) got after me a few
times because of it.”
“I understood,” Zach says. “It was good.
Growing up around the LC players, it was
the only way I knew how it was done.”
“Honestly,” Brett adds, “the biggest fight
we had as coach-player was him wanting
to pitch and play shortstop and second
base. He did pitch well when he pitched,
but he wasn’t going to be a pitcher.”
There wasn’t a big difference between
the father-son and coach-player
relationship. It was the same way at
home when the two discussed the game
Zach had played.
“Again, I go back to Ed,” Brett says. “You
don’t go around patting each other on
the butt saying everything is OK. You try
to learn from what you did wrong. He
(Zach) learned a lot of stuff that way, but
he was also old enough to understand
how to play the game the right way. That
really helped him when he came to here
to LC. He came in knowing the LC way.
He was just underdeveloped so that
really helped him until his body caught
up. He knew how to run the bases and
he knew how to fill the gaps.”
Zach finished his senior year with a .299
average. He went 35-of-117 at the plate
with 34 runs scored, three doubles,
three triples, and a home run. He also
drove in 10 and was second on the
team with 12 stolen bases. During his
sophomore season, he won the team’s
Golden Glove award after not making an
error on 70 fielding chances in center
field.
“I think it’s going to be a melancholy
deal for me this year because I’m
not going to be able to watch him
play anymore,” Brett says. “I enjoyed
watching him play and I’m proud of him.
I know it still will be fun to go watch
some of the underclassmen play who
The competitive fires between the two
still exist, they just have carried over
into a new venue – golf. Brett has been
playing for a while, but Zach just starting
playing regularly this summer.
“I used to own him but he’s closed the
gap real quick,” Brett says. “I think he’s
cut it from something like 12 strokes to
2.”
“Oh I think I’m ready to take him,” Zach
says.
“He’s mumbling over there about
something,” Brett says, laughing. “He
still has to earn it.”
The two, along with the Holley’s
daughter, Chelsea Blewett, have always
been competitive, Brett says.
“That drives Jennifer crazy,” Brett
says. “All of the kids and I are always
competing. Chelsea might have even
been the best athlete. She was strong.”
Jennifer, too, is competitive in her own
way. She is the reigning three-time Chili
Cook-Off champion in the annual contest
sponsored by the LCSC booster club, the
Warrior Athletic Association. Jennifer sits
on the WAA board of directors.
“Maybe he is a little bit jealous because
my ring is bigger,” says Zach, who is
engaged to former LCSC volleyball player
Kaylee Rector.
“A lot of his friends are the guys who
played here and everyone had rings
so I would see that all the time,” Zach
says. “That was my number one goal for
coming here, to get a ring.”
Now, the two are tied together by work.
Brett co-owns Well Connected Electric
in Lewiston where Zach now works.
Recently Brett and Jennifer took a
vacation. Brett says there were some
major projects to bid on that he worked
on, but was impressed with how Zach
stepped up and took some ownership as
well with the project.
Even as Brett and Zach show off their
championship rings, the competitive fire
stirs.
It was a reminder for Zach of what
could be accomplished, even though he
already had met a number of his dad’s
teammates and had heard the stories.
“I’m sure he got tired of hearing about
were his teammates last year that I got
to know, but it’s still kind of sad.”
“Hey, we weren’t ashamed to put our
record on our ring,” Brett fires back.
Zach and Brett Holley show their respective championship rings.
Both begin to laugh. A father-son bond
indeed.

BRIEFS
By Zachary Shore
During the fall sports season, Lewis-Clark State College
produced a number of All-Americans and national
qualifiers. The golf and basketball teams have gotten off
to fast starts as well.
The LCSC cross country program continued its string of
success on the national stage as the men finished sixth,
their third straight top-10 finish while the women placed
16th. Despite the solid success, the Warriors feel they
have another level to achieve.
Rachel Cundy
The men finished the year as Frontier Conference
Champions while the women finished second to Carroll.
Both teams have taken some time off and will look to
contribute on the track as the Warriors track and field
gets underway in the second semester.
With a strong start in the fall, the LCSC men’s golf team
has positioned itself to earn its 12th Frontier Conference
Championship and third conference tournament crown,
winning both conference events in the fall while also
finish atop the field in the other two events.
The Warriors have played 11 rounds this fall and as a
four-player team LCSC has averaged 292.64 strokes
per round while collecting two individual wins, 11 top-5s
and 15 top-10 finishes. In the two Frontier Conference
contests the Warriors tallied 1,744 strokes, 46 better
than second place Rocky Mountain heading into the final
regular season event on Apr. 4-5 at the Lewiston Country
Club.
Much like their male counterparts, the LCSC women’s
golf team had an outstanding spring winning or
taking second in all four events, including two Frontier
Conference contests. The Warriors tallied 1,254 strokes
in league play and currently lead Rocky Mountain by 15
strokes heading into the regular season finale.
Through four total events, the Warriors four-player
team average is 319.25 with two individual wins, both
by Karina Davila, as well as 10 top-5s and 18 top-10
finishes. Davila and Allison Kadinger each are currently
in the top-5 in conference scoring with the former sitting
third with a 75.8 average and the latter fifth with a 77.3
average.
Davila also leads LC with a 77.38 stroke average over
eight rounds followed by Kadinger (79.38) and Sammi
Spring (80.13). The women are seeking their fourth
consecutive trip to the NAIA National Championships as
well as a second straight conference tournament title
and the first regular season conference crown since
2013. They resume their quest with the men on Mar. 5
when they compete in the Oregon Tech Invitational.
The LCSC men’s basketball team has gotten off to a fast
start this season, winning 14 of their first 15 games to
sit 14-1 overall and 2-1 in conference play. The Warriors
have top the century mark eight times this season to
average 99.9 points per game, the third best mark in
the NAIA.
Junior Jacob Wiley leads the team in scoring (15.31),
rebounds (6.39) and blocks (1.31) per game while
Rich Tesmer is averaging 5.33 assists per contest and
Doug McDaniel has 1.5 steals per game. Three different
players rank in the top-10 in 3-point field goal percentage
to help propel the Warriors to their No. 7 ranking in the
NAIA Coaches’ Top 25 Poll.
The high-flying Warriors are seeking their 11th trip to the
NAIA National tournament as well as a seventh conference
title and second straight conference tournament crown.
Also competing on the hardwood, the LCSC women’s
basketball team also got off to a hot start, winning their
first seven games, but a trip to San Antonio, Texas led to
a pair of losses. The Warriors have bounced back to win
4-of-5 including a 2-1 conference mark.
The 11-3 Warriors are averaging 83.5 points per game,
the no. 3 mark in the NAIA Division I. More impressive
is the defense for LC which is ranked second at 51.07
points per contest. They also lead the nation in assistto-turnover ratio (1.59), turnover margin (10.231) and
field goal percentage defense (.299). Overall the team
is ranked in the top-5 in 12 categories, with four more
inside the top-10 and 24 total rankings in the top-50.
Kaylea Knox
As a team the Warriors lead NAIA Division I in five
categories including field goal percentage (.550), and
assist-to-turnover ratio (2.14). They rank in the top-5
in seven other categories and four others in the top10. Overall LCSC is ranked in the top 40 in 24 different
categories.
Senior Rachel Cundy made program history with her
25th-place finish, becoming the first Warrior to earn AllAmerican honors three times. Senior Sam Atkin paced
the men, but just missed becoming an All-American,
finishing 31st overall and missing out on the award by
1.8 seconds.
Jacob Wiley
Sam Atkin
Cole Lorenzo
Kaylea Knox, a newcomer for the Warriors, leads the
team in scoring (13.25) and steals (2.08) per game while
Hailey Turner is tops with 6.42 rebounds per contest and
Caelyn Orlandi leads the team with 5.62 assists per game.
The women look to return to the national tournament
for the 19th time while seeking a sixth regular season
conference crown and seventh conference tournament
title.
Cole Lorenzo, a senior, leads the team with a 72.45
average and is third in the FC with a 72.2 average. Mike
Bladeck, a freshman, has been stellar in 2015, averaging
72.91 strokes per round and is currently second in the
conference at 72.0 average. Another freshman, Chris
Lien, is also in the top five of the FC, averaging 73.3
strokes per round while averaging 74.45 strokes per
round over the four events in 2015.

Awards dinner and ring presentation honor 2015 champs
The Warrior baseball program celebrated its 17th
NAIA World Series title with its awards dinner and ring
presentation at the Williams Conference Center on
campus during Homecoming weekend in October.
LCSC captured the Series title in late May at Harris Field
when it defeated St. Thomas 10-7 in the championship
game. The Warriors had to win their final three games
of the Series to capture the crown. LC finished the
season with a 46-12 record.
LC Athletic Director Gary Picone served
as Master of Ceremonies for the
dinner, while President J. Anthony
(Tony) Fernández welcomed the
crowd of nearly 200 that attended
the event.
The evening featured a 30-minute
video produced by Northwest Media
that featured highlights from the World
Series as well as TV news clips on the team
and the leveling of the Harris Field prior to the

Grapes for a Cause
Giving that compliments your financial and estate plans
Many donors like to leave a gift to charity in their will. Are there any causes you would support in this way? Legacy gifts
include provisions for the LCSC Foundation in your will; gifts of retirement assets, stock or mutual funds, real estate, gift
annuities, or life insurance; and gifts that create
income for you. You can make a gift through your
will, trust, or retirement plan. Charitable gift
annuity donors reduce capital gains taxes, garner
income tax benefits, and provide long-term income
for themselves or their loved ones while making
gifts that can transform students’ lives.
Donors who acknowledge the Lewis-Clark State
College Foundation in their estate plan become
a member of the Heritage Society. Becoming
a member of this society affords donors the
opportunity to make sure their future gift is applied
to the area of their choice. Donors can also leave a
tribute gift honoring a loved one. If you would like
to discuss planned giving options, please contact
the LCSC Foundation at (208)792-2458 or e-mail
elallen@lcsc.edu.

Alumnus of the Year
Dr. Andrew Hanson
After graduating from Lewiston High
School in 1988, Andy enrolled at
LCSC in the fall of 1988 majoring in
mathematics. He started working in
the LCSC Admissions Office in the fall
of 1989. His primary duties were to
support the recruiters, answer the
college’s switchboard, and provide
campus tours. He spent the following
two years working in the Financial Aid
Office and then, just before graduating
in May of 1992, he interviewed for and
was offered the position of admission
and financial aid counselor (his primary
responsibility was recruiting high school
students). In 1994, he accepted the
position of assistant director of New
Student Services at the University of
Idaho (where he started the “Vandal
Friday” visitation program) while also
serving as the president of the LCSC
Alumni Association.
In 1996, he was offered the opportunity
to return to LCSC as the associate
director of admission/coordinator of
Veterans’ Services. In May of 1997,
he graduated with his Master of
Education degree in Vocation (Career)
Education from the University of Idaho,
and earned his Ph.D. in Education with
support courses in communications
and psychology in 2003. He has held
other positions including coordinator of
the student success program, director
of recruitment and retention, dean for
student services, and has been the
vice president for student affairs since
2012.
LCSC President Tony Fernández shared
the following “As LCSC vice-president
for Student Affairs, Andy Hanson is
a proven and effective administrator
and leader. His leadership in
setting enrollment goals, developing
recruitment plans, organizing the LCSC
marketing and advertising efforts,
leading the response to compliance
matters, and improving the database
infrastructure for student affairs has
made LCSC a much better college. To
this, add a truly exceptional sense of
humor and I’m sure you will agree that
LCSC is fortunate to have Dr. Andy
Hanson as an alumnus and as its vicepresident for Student Affairs. He is
certainly most deserving of the LCSC
Alumnus of the Year Award. ”

by an individual in their field of
endeavor, whether through professional
achievement or community service.
The recipient is aged 40 or under, and
sets an inspirational example for future
young alumni.
Rising Star Young Alumni Award
Dave and Tami Biery
This year’s Rising Star Young Alumni
Award recipients are a husband and
wife team. Dave and Tami Biery were
well educated at Lewis-Clark State.
After graduating in 1998, both thrived
at graduate school – Tami became a
physical therapist and Dave obtained his
41
MBA. They opened their own physical
therapy business, Peak Performance
Physical Therapy, in 2011.
Dave and Tami are excellent role
models as business owners and as
service providers and employers.
Both are incredibly civic minded and
very involved in the community, from
their children’s sporting events, to
rodeo events, to sponsoring several
local athletic events.
Dave and Tami Biery with President Fernández
Dr. Seth Haselhuhn
One of their most important
contributions is that they provide
a place where LCSC students
who are interested in the physical
therapy field can obtain observation
hours and perhaps long-term
employment. There are many
former and current LC students
that have benefitted from Tami and
Dave’s willingness to share their
expertise. Their nomination letter
states “Dave and Tami could have
moved anywhere with their excellent
background and education. We are
incredibly fortunate that they chose
to return to the LC Valley to open
their business. They provide the
absolute best training for Lewis-Clark
State students that are interested
in pursuing a career in Physical
Therapy.”
Their website contains the following
quote, “Obstacles are what we
see only when we lose sight of our
goals.” Dave and Tami, you both
have proven that with dedication
and hard work, you can achieve your
dreams!
Rising Star Young Alumni Award
Dr. Seth Haselhuhn
Ella-Mae Keatts, Mark Smith, and President Fernández
42
Dr. Haselhuhn is currently the
cognitive enhancement specialist
providing performance psychology
and mental skills training for the 5th
Special Forces Group (Airborne) at
Fort Campbell, Kentucky. Seth has
taken on a ground breaking role,
contracted with United States Army
Special Forces, as he is currently
the only person in the country
providing this training. In just over
one year in this position, he has
been able to establish himself as a
knowledgeable and respected asset
supporting the military training of
America’s elite soldiers.
In 2002, Seth graduated cum laude
from Lewis-Clark State College with
a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology
and a minor in coaching, and was
also a member of the Warrior
baseball team. He continued his
education at the University of Idaho
completing a Master’s degree in
Recreation and Sport Management.
Upon graduation, he entered the
field of education and coaching
at Columbia Basin College. In six
years as a member of the CBC
baseball coaching staff, the Hawks
would make 6 trips to the NWAACC
tournament, win 3 East Region
Titles, and in 2006, they won the
NWAACC Championship. In 2009,
with major budget cuts in education,
Seth’s position was eliminated at
CBC, and he headed back to the
University of Idaho to pursue a
doctorate degree in Sport Pedagogy
and Character Education. After three
years of balancing full-time school,
family life, and teaching, Seth
completed his degree and joined
the Sport Management Department
at Washington State University as
a clinical professor before being
recruited to his current position.
His nomination letter states “It has
always been important to Seth to
believe in what you do for a living
and not just go to work. He also sets
an example for doing it the “right”
way and not just getting it done. At
this point in his career, having an
opportunity to provide support to the
United States Military is an honor
for Seth, and something he feels
great pride and respect in. If you are
looking for an LCSC alumnus that
sets an inspirational example for
future students to go do great things
in the world and serve others, Seth is
the epitome of that honor.
Excellence in Education Award
recognizes superior achievement in the
field of education. The recipients serve
as role models and set standards of
excellence to which others can aspire.
Excellence in Education
Mark Smith
Mark Smith’s dedication to his students
and love of his subject matter is
obvious. And it’s just as obvious that
those students appreciate Smith’s
ability to share the knowledge he has
garnered over the course of 36 years.
His education includes earning an
AAS degree in Major Appliance Repair
in 1976 and a B.S. in Management
Technology 1993, both from LCSC.
He also earned an M.Ed in Vocational
Education from the University of Idaho.
But his own education is secondary
to providing one to others, and Smith
believes his students have chosen
a field offering them significant
opportunities. Placement for graduates
in his program is 90% or better,
especially the past few years where it is
nearly 100 percent.
Thirteen of his students have been
named national winners in the Skills
USA contest. There have also been five
gold medalists, four silver medalists,
and four bronze medalists.
One of Mark’s former students, Kevin
Parris shared “Mark will bend over
backwards to help his students learn,
and he always gives 110% as an
instructor,” said Parris. “Mark was a
huge influence on me during college
and still is to this day.”
Mark Smith and family.
While he has earned honors over the
years, such as Advisor of the Year for
Idaho VICA (now SkillsUSA) and LCSC
Vocational-Technical Instructor of the
Year, he says personal awards have
never meant nearly as much as knowing
that he is helping his students find their
successes in life.
Mark and his wife, Erion, have three
children, all of whom graduated from
LCSC, and two grandchildren.
Another former student, Brett Kinzer
shared, “If you judge a man’s success
by the impact he has on his students, I
would say Mark is a very successful man.”
The Spirit Award for Extraordinary
Service is presented to individuals
that build pride and spirit on campus
and who consistently demonstrate
extraordinary loyalty, commitment,
dedication and service to Lewis-Clark
State College and their community.

Monika Pande
Monika Pande is the catering &
concessions supervisor for Sodexo
Dining Services on the LCSC campus,
but she is best known for her infectious
smile and never-wavering positive
attitude. Just try having a bad day when
Monika is around. Whether she’s behind
the counter at a catered event, running
the cash register in the SUB or just out
and about on campus, Monika is quick
with a greeting and a smile. Because
of her nature, even Monika struggles to
have a bad day when it would have been
so easy to do so not all that long ago.
Congratulations to all of our award winners!
Monika Pande, Darcy Nelly, and President Fernández
Monika was on a kidney transplant list
for nearly four years yet continued to
serve LCSC students and employees
with her trademark enthusiasm. Even
when her kidney function went down
to 4 percent from an incurable kidney
disease, Monika’s smile – and our
admiration – never wavered. Following
a kidney transplant from an anonymous
donor in 2012, Monika has even more
reason to smile. She told the Tribune
that “every single day I thank God for
my new life.” She continues to be a
shining example for us all. Her zest for
life, for servantship and to help others
is remarkable. Along with her husband
Balram, they are currently fundraising
locally to help recent earthquake victims
from her native country Nepal.
Monika grew up in Nepal and moved to
the United States for an education. She
went to Tillamook High School in Oregon
and graduated from Linfield College. She
began working at LCSC in 1995 and she
and Balram have been married for more
than 20 years. They have two teenage
sons and all of her immediate family
lives in the area.

opportunities at LCSC. Bob’s leadership
has been widely recognized and, as
a result, he has been selected to
serve on numerous state and regional
committees devoted to promoting postsecondary opportunities for traditionally
underrepresented student populations.
Bob has been instrumental in creating
and managing an active advisory
council with representatives from the
Nez Perce and Coeur d’Alene tribes,
in supporting agreement with regional
post-secondary institutions to offer
courses in Nez Perce language, and in
securing LCSC’s presence in the annual
Idaho Hispanic Youth Symposium.

of every student he works with and
champions the needs of those students
every day.

Eadie Saxton
Eadie Saxton became an Idaho “native”
in 1968 when she moved to Lewiston
with her new husband Duane. Over the
years she was active in the Jaycettes on
the local and state level; she worked on
the Lewiston Jr. Miss committee for 30
years and the state level for six years;

for several years. Eadie retired after
working 30 years with the law firm of
Aherin, Rice and Anegon.
She has been a member of the LCSC
Foundation Board since 1997. Dr.
Hoitois suggested to the board that
Eadie serve as the first chairperson of
the Scholarship Committee, a position
she continues to hold to this day. This
committee is responsible for selecting
the foundation scholars and selecting
recipients of five other scholarships.
She plays a big role in the planning of
the scholar Christmas party and has
made Christmas “bingo” famous among
those students. She was instrumental
in starting the liaison program which
matches a foundation scholar with a
foundation board member. The board
member stays involved with the student
and helps them during their years at LC.

home with their families. Eadie, along
with special friends, has cooked dinner
for as many as 130 high school cross
country campers and counselors on the
Selway River. Interacting with students
is her favorite thing!

Willard Teel (Posthumously)
Willard Teel enjoyed fishing and hunting,
but his first love, other than papermaking, was baseball. Even though he
tried to never miss a Lewis-Clark State
College women’s basketball home
game, it was the LCSC Warriors baseball
team that made him happiest. He never
missed a Warrior NAIA tournament
game. After Lewiston lost the NAIA
tourney, Willard and his good friend,
Roger Adams, traveled to the sites the
tourney moved to, including Jupiter,
Forida, and Lubbock, Texas. Willard
cherished his trips to those sites, but
was always quick to tell people how
much better Lewiston and LCSC were in
staging the NAIA tournament.
He really enjoyed his volunteer work
at Harris Field. He was instrumental
in the installation and painting of the
new bleachers in time for the first NAIA
tournament held here. It was at Harris
Field where Willard really felt at home.
He loved people and made many friends
and lasting friendships there. Willard’s
wife Oline recalled that “LCSC was like a
warm blanket to Willard.”
LCSC Athletic Director, Gary Picone
shared, “For many years Willard
supported L-C Athletics with his time
and financial support… and yes, once
in a while with his opinion. I truly miss
his occasional visits to my office to tell
us how good a job we did with a recent
event and he just might have an idea
on how to make it better. Willard had a
great heard for the student-athletes and
he really loved being around them and
getting to know them.”
Coeur d’Alene Alumni of the Year

of caliber of students who graduate
from LCSC. His strong work ethic and
commitment to his community is
unparalleled.
Willard passed away at the age of 92
on August 11, 2014. Instead of having
a service, Willard asked that memorials
