LCSC will host guest speaker Feb. 19, providing suicide prevention training
through QPR
By Chase Murphy
of The Pathfinder
In 2013 Idaho’s suicide rate
was 47 percent higher than the
national average, according
to a statistic from the Suicide
Prevention Action Network of
Idaho (SPANIdaho). 2014 saw an
increase in suicide rates with 320
people taking their own lives.
In Idaho, suicide is the second
leading cause of death for males
ages 10-14.
In order to try and lower these
alarming statistics, Lewis-Clark
State College will be hosting
guest speaker Steve Button
from SPANIdaho. Steve will be
providing suicide prevention
training through a program
called QPR (Question, Persuade,
Refer).
Created in 1995 by Paul
Quinnett, the objective of QPR
is to “identify and interrupt the
crisis and direct the person to
proper care.” In 1999 the QPR
Institute became an independent
organization with the goal of
launching a national suicide
prevention training program.
Their hope is that QPR will
become as well known and
effective as CPR training. “In
QPR, the general public is
educated about the warning signs
of a suicide crisis: expressions
of hopelessness, depression,
giving away of prized possessions,
talking about suicide, securing
of lethal means, and then taught
how to respond.”
The training program will be
held on Thursday, Feb. 19 in
Sacajawea Hall, room 112 from
3 to 5 p.m. Everyone is welcome
to come, and those who are
interested can register ahead
of time for the event through
LCSC’s Student Counseling
Center.
Residence Life hosted Super
Bowl party in WCC
Even if you’re a poor college
student who can’t afford a TV,
Residence Life made it possible
for every resident of the halls to
watch the Super Bowl on Sunday,
Feb. 7.
With doors opening just a short
time before the game started,
students could retrieve a raffle
ticket to win door prizes that were
awarded throughout the duration
of the game. Students also had the
opportunity to predict what they
thought the halftime and final
scores were to win larger prizes.
Sodexo provided snacks before
dinner, as well as dinner to those
who had a meal plan. Snacks
included chips and salsa, mini
tacos, wings, cheese and crackers,
and more; dinner consisted of
hot dogs or chili dogs, more mini
tacos, and a whole table filled
with desserts to choose from
such as: brownies, cookies, and
cupcakes to name a few.
Throughout the game, there
were cheers coming from groups
of students supporting their
favorite team, but one side of the
room became very quiet toward
the end of the game. There was
a very large amount of residence
hall students in attendance, and
it was definitely a very successful
program for residence life.

Opinion
From the Editor
Hacked.
Isn’t it irritating when people steal things that you have worked
hard for? To me, it is a really low person that would take things from
another, without working for it themselves, without any regard to
asking permission, or even having any common courtesy.
Promises of wealth can lead to greed, and greed is an ugly trait
to possess. We don’t always know peoples situations, but taking
something that isn’t yours is not the answer.
Go out there and work for it.
Dallas Callahan
Two weeks can feel like anything. Like a lifetime, and like an eternity.
It can feel like “where’d it go?” Like “wasn’t it just two weeks ago?”
It’s crazy to me how time can fly, or how it can drag on. Some days
it can feel like time has actually stopped, like in that last class of the
week when you’ve looked at the clock approximately 5,822 times, with
the minute hand seemingly unchanging. Other times, you’re telling
a story about “the other night” when you realize that you mean the
other night, two weeks ago. It’s cliché, but that saying “Time flies when
you’re having fun” is so true. This semester is flying by, and it’s made
me realize something. I’m only a sophomore, but I’m realizing I have to
make the most of my time at LCSC, because I know it’s going to keep
flying by without me even realizing it.

There is a falseness to right and left politics
By Elijah Phipps
of The Pathfinder
The presidential primaries are
growing closer. We are witnessing
some of the biggest battles within
Republican and Democrat parties,
the United States’ two largest and
most powerful political parties.
After the blood and confetti left
over from the celebration has
been cleaned, we will hear the
countless “definitions,” shouted
from the lungs of the media and
candidates of what is “Right,”
conservative, and what is “Left,”
liberal, in politics.
What if I told you, despite what
you have always been taught, your
basic understanding of Right/
Left politics is completely wrong?
Likely, looking through political
science books, you have seen
a red/blue bar that shows the
basic political Right and Left.
The moderate political ideals
in government are shown in
the center of the bar, while the
farthest ends of the bar represent
the radical aspects. It would have
conservatives being fascists and
liberals being communists.
The first step in understanding
this concept is to know one simple
truth: The politics of both the
Republicans and the Democrats
qualify as liberalism. Before you
grab your pitchforks and torches,
let me explain what I mean.
Within the political science field

of study, the word “liberalism”
means that the individual (AKA Shown is the Republican party
you) is the primary recipient of symbol.

a state, nation or country. liberalism is the best at ensuring
Other political ideologies, like
an individual’s freedoms and
communitarianism or socialism
usually have their governing liberties. For conservatives, the

The main difference between guaranteeing their freedoms and
what we call conservatives and liberties without interference. On

LCSC introduces Read & Write software,
available for all LC students
As part of an effort to comply
with the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA), LCSC
has given all students, faculty and
staff free access to Read & Write
software.
The
ADA
prohibits
discrimination against anyone
with a disability. For LCSC,
this means that all students
should be able to get the same
quality of education despite
disability, and that the school
should take measures to overcome
learning disabilities if necessary.
To do this, LCSC has recruited
the services of Read & Write,
a literacy software tool that,
according to the website, can act
as a confidence boost to “anyone
who needs a little extra help with
their reading and writing.” This
includes people with all sort of
learning disabilities including
dyslexia, as well as anyone who is
not fluent in English.
Read & Write software
can read onscreen text aloud,
whether from a website or a
document. It can also help users
define unfamiliar words using
text and pictures. Other tools
include a word prediction tool to
improve writing skills and various
study tools to assist in student
to lie on a two-colored bar, but
rather as notches on a dial. Every
notch is a different concept
of the “perfect” government.
Each notch uses different ideas
and aspects, whether they be
all “Right,” “Left,” or a certain
combination of both. Like
notches on a thermostat, different
people would prefer different and
varying temperatures.
This may have just made
politics go from unstable
to chaotic, but at least you
can say you are smarter
now. As the political

of philosophy, Thomas
Hobbes, once said,

While this software is meant
to help students with disabilities,
it is available to anyone at LC,
and can be an asset to anyone.
To download the software onto
a personal computer, students,
faculty and staff can go to
Warrior Web and select “Read &
Write Learning Assistance Tool”
under the Information category.

the state provides basic needs
and necessities, like health care
and education; this would be to
ensure that the individual has the
right to their individual freedoms
without natural handicaps, like
social standing and financial
capabilities.
So, if we were to correctly edit
the previously mentioned Right/
Left “bar,” the far radical end
of the conservative-liberalism
would be a near anarchic state
that left the individual alone,
and liberal-liberalism would be a
large government that took care
of the individual. However, there
is an issue with this; it is still at
falsehood of the concept of
Right/Left. The truth is: different
political ideals and governing
systems should not be imagined

Movie Review
Deadpool: A new anti-hero on
the movie screen
By Amanda Wallace
of The Pathfinder
Before I start this review, I just
wanted to warn you, the audience
on what will be covered in this
article. There would be talk of: no
spoilers, sarcastic remarks, Ryan
Reynolds, experiments and what
is coming up next for the Merch
with the mouth. Did I just break
the fourth wall? Kind of, but
Im not a comic book character.
Although some might wonder
why I started this article the way
I did and I can explain. I wanted
you to have the feel of what it felt
like watching the movie, and of
course, reading the comic books
long before the movie. Its not
every day when a character breaks
the fourth wall between them
and the reader/audience. Ryan
Reynolds has pulled that off in
the movie, and quite frankly. We
have been waiting for this movie
for ten years.
In the previous issue, I
explained what Deadpool was
about and how he became
Deadpool. To refresh your
memory, here’s a recap of the
summary. Deadpool is about
Wade Wilson, who was a former
special forces operative, received a
dishonorable discharge. He made
his living as Mercenary, who was
diagnosed with terminal cancer.
This leaves Wade and Vanessa
(Wilson’s longtime girlfriend), at
a still point in their life together.
After a night at the bar where one
of his friends worked, Wilson
met a guy, named Smith who
told him about how he could
save him. Wilson volunteered
for the program, which was when
they turned ordinary people,
into mutants. If you’re thinking
of, X-men mutants, you’re right.
He was part of the “Weapon
X”
mutant
weaponization
project, where Wolverine got
his Adamanatium skeleton.
He eventually became the
experimental subject of the sadistic
Dr. Killbrew, and his assistant,
Ajax. During the painful testing,
he gained super-healing abilities
that cure his cancer (similar to
Wolverine’s restorative powers)
but also intense scarring all over
his face and body—hence the full
body suit and mask. Though the
healing powers prevent him from
dying—Deadpool has literally
lost his head in the comics only
to survive by simply growing a
new one. They also reject any
medicine or drugs he puts into
his body. That’s bad news for
someone mentally unstable.
Before Wilson was diagonised
with cancer, in the movie a few
friends started this ‘deadpool’ on
who will die next and that is how
he gotten his name, Deadpool
but he still goes by Wade. Its aa
“dead pool,” betting on who will
be the last to die at the hands of
the researchers. Wilson eventually
leads an escape, taking the name
Deadpool and vowing to have
his revenge. Thus leading us to
our main villain of the movie,
Dr.Killbrew, well more so of Ajax
than Dr. Killbrew.
The movie takes place in
modern times, also in the X-men
universe. It also references towards
Reynold’s old movies, for an
example. The Wolverine Origins
where we first introduce to
Wilson, and the idea of Deadpool
but it didn’t sit too well with the
fans of the Merch. Especially
with Ryan Reynolds when it was
revealed that they had sewn shut
Deadpool’s mouth. Along with
when Reynolds played the Green
. The opening credits, was true
to the nature of Deadpool and
how the merch talked towards
his general audience. It was also
proof that Ryan Reynolds is in

Music Review
Jason Isbell puts himself into his album “Southeastern”
By Chase Murphy
of The Pathfinder
Today’s popular music has
lost something: vulnerability.
Singers work with producers
to write songs that appeal to a
mass audience. They pick topics
that almost everyone can relate
to, and they avoid specifics so as
not to alienate anyone in their
audience. They show nothing of
themselves in their music.
That’s why Jason Isbell’s 2013
album “Southeastern” is so
refreshing. He lets you into his
life. He shows you the good and
the bad (but mostly the bad). He
writes songs that are specific to
him and his life, and he holds
nothing back. That risk takes
bravery.
Isbell got his start with the
band The Drive by Truckers
before venturing off into a solo
career. Like a lot of musicians,
he has struggled with sobriety
issues. He compiled a lot of his
experiences with the on-the-road
lifestyle into the song “Super 8.”
“Don’t wanna die in a Super 8
motel/just because somebody’s
evening didn’t go so well.” His
lyrics paint a gruesome picture
of the sickness he put his body
through. “Wasn’t quite morning
and I wasn’t quite breathing, my
heart way up in my throat/the
girl starts screaming and the
maid starts screaming and it
looks like it’s all she wrote.”
The album isn’t just about his
sobriety though. He does have a
few songs that are a little more
uplifting. “Different Days” is a
song about looking back on life
and seeing the changes you have
made. “It’s a positive song; a
hopeful song which isn’t always
the easiest kind to write for me”
said Isbell in a CMT interview.
Even in a song like that he
keeps it very personal. You
get to know him through his
lyrics. He doesn’t try to keep
everything as generic as possible
in order to sell a lifestyle like
some more modern country
and pop singers. To get more
of a personal feel, he actually
planned to record the album
as a solo acoustic project, only
bringing in a member from his
band “The 400 Unit” when the
album’s sound began to feel a
little monotonous.
Overall, “Southeastern” is an
album that took guts to make,
and while its songs definitely
won’t be played ad nauseam
on any top 40 radio stations,
it is definitely worth a listen for
anyone who wants honesty from
a musical artist.

Commentary
Good morning Wonderful!
By Hayley Calvert
of The Pathfinder
Sunday was Valentine’s Day.
This is typically associated with
candy conversation hearts,
cheesy/romantic cards, and
flowers. It is also associated with
being in a relationship. This can
be great. We grow to expect
extra love and appreciation
from our special someone. If
you’re single, however, this
day is often associated with
feeling disappointed and lonely,
especially for those battling
various visible and non visible
issues. Why do we place such
emphasis on being paired
up? Our relationship with
ourselves has to come before
our relationship with others.
Valentine’s Day or not, we
should wake up every morning
and (although sometimes more
easily said than done) remind
ourselves how amazing we all
are. So to anyone who’s feeling
a little down today: Good
morning wonderful! You are so
loved. You are appreciated and
today will be awesome!

against the Cavaliers since 1980.
For the second straight game,

in the first inning as Hayden
Meier (JR/Sammamish, Wash.),
who finished 2-for-3 with 2 RBI,
drove in Andris Rizquez (SR/
Caracas, Venezuela) with a twoout single to center.
LCSC starter Kevin Hamann
(JR/Bend, Ore.) worked a 1-2-3
first before allowing a leadoff
single and a two-out ringing
double to right center for a 1-1
tie. The right-hander settled
down after that, allowing just one
hit over the next four innings as
the LCSC offense got to work.
The Warriors hung a three-
spot on the board in the bottom
of the third on four hits. Cabe
Reiten (SR/Spanaway, Wash.)
got things started with a leadoff
walk and scored three batters
later on a single to right off
the bat of J.J. Robinson (JR/
Colfax, Wash.), who extended
his hit streak to five games. Meier
doubled to center on the next
pitch to score Julian Ramon (SR/
Oxnard, Calif.) and put LC up,
3-1. After Tyler McDowell (SO/
Puyallup, Wash.) drew a walk
to load the bases, DePaul Blunt
(SO/Clarkston, Wash.) singled to
right to plate Robinson and make
it a three run game.
Things were quite until the
seventh, when Hamann ran into
trouble. The leadoff man, Jarren
Goddard reached on an error and
scored on another Warrior error
one batter later. Hamann got a
strikeout but back-to-back singles
loaded the bases. A pair of two
out hits tied the game and ended
the night for Hamann. Matthew
Fish (JR/Kalamazoo, Mich.) was
called on in relief and escaped
the jam with a groundout.
Logan Griffin (JR/Apple
Valley, Calif.) got the Warriors
rally started in the bottom of the
inning with a double to right.
With two outs, Brown stepped
in and delivered the Warriors
11th two-out RBI of the season
with a single to left field, scoring
Griffin.
Fish took care of the rest,
allowing just one baserunner
via error, tossing 2.1 scoreless
innings with one strikeout to
earn the win, his second of the
season. He has allowed just three
baserunners in 6.1 innings with
eight strikeouts.
Meier and Blunt led the
offense with a pair of hits apiece
with the former collecting a pair
of RBI. The top five in the lineup
each scored for the Warriors in
the contest while nine batters
tallied at least one hit.
Hamann took the no decision
as the newcomer allowed four
runs, one earned, on eight hits
with six strikeouts in 6.2 innings
of work.

complete season sweep of No.
13 Carroll
Lewis-Clark State College
Press Release
Caelyn Orlandi (JR/Coeur
d’Alene, Idaho) hit a huge
3-pointer with 1:08 remaining
to help the Lewis-Clark State
College women’s basketball team
defeat Carroll for the third time
this season, this time 56-49 on
Friday night, in a matchup of
NAIA Top 25-ranked teams.
Orlandi’s
3-pointer
gave
LCSC, 20-4 overall and 11-2 in
conference play, a 52-47 lead.
Brooke Litalien (JR/Post Falls,
Idaho) and Megan Risinger (JR/
Tigard, Ore.) combined for four
free throws in the final seconds to
preserve the win.
The victory marked the 14th
time in LCSC Head Coach Brian
Orr’s 15 years at the helm that
the Warriors have won at least 20
games in a season. It also moved
the Warriors closer to capturing
their
fourth
regular-season
conference title under Orr.
LCSC, ranked 12th in the NAIA,
has a 2.5-game lead over No. 13
Carroll, which fell to 19-5 overall
and 9-5 in league. Because LCSC
swept the three-game season
series, the Warriors also own the
tiebreaker edge over Carroll.
With five games left in the
regular season, LCSC only needs
to win two to finish no worse
than tied for first place in the
conference standings and earn
the No. 1 seed in the conference
tournament.
“It was a nice win,” said Orr.
“We did just enough to win. It
wasn’t necessarily pretty, but both
teams really fought hard from
the tip. It was a defensive battle
at both ends and we got the shot
and rebounds we needed to pull
it out.”
In Friday’s victory, the Warriors
never trailed after a bucket by
Orlandi with 6:58 left in the first
quarter that put LCSC ahead 6-5.
Carroll did tie the contest three
times after that, including at 4242 with 5:24 left in the game, but
each time LC answered.
Still, the Warriors weren’t able
to put the Saints away in the lowscoring contest until gutting out
the win at the end.
The Warriors relied on their
defense and 3-point shooting
to gain the upper hand. Carroll
outshot the Warriors from the
field and also outrebounded
LC by 10, but the Saints also
committed 18 turnovers. LCSC
was 8-of-17 from the 3-point line
(47.1 percent), compared to 10-of28 (35.7 percent) inside the arc.
Risinger and Kaylea Knox (JR/
Rainier, Ore.) provided most of
the outside threat for LCSC as
both went 3-of-4 from the 3-point
line. Risinger tied for game-high
honors with Carroll’s Cassidy
Hashley as both finished with
12 points. Orlandi added 11 and
Knox finished with nine.
Brittany Tackett (SO/Coeur
d’Alene, Idaho) led LCSC on the
boards with four rebounds while
Litalien finished with three boards
and three assists. Risinger and
Orlandi added three rebounds
and two assists apiece.
“The biggest difference in the
game was we had less turnovers.
Brooke, Goose and even Megan
were big defensively and forced
a lot of steals tonight. We had
people step up and make big plays
when we needed them and we got
some defensive rebounds at the

right time,” said Orr.
Knox hit a pair of 3s in the
opening quarter and gave LCSC
a 16-12 lead. After Carroll scored
the first four points of the second
quarter, Risinger and Knox both
hit 3s to put LCSC ahead 22-16.
The Warriors kept rolling in the
second quarter as Orlandi scored
four points while Tackett and
Hailey Turner (FR/Richland,
Wash.) added two each to give
LCSC its largest lead of the night
at 30-21 with 51 seconds left in the
first half. Sara Chalich’s 3-pointer
made it 30-24 at halftime.
The Warriors led by as much
as eight in the third quarter, but
Carroll narrowed the margin to
one before Natahnee Spencer
(JR/Lapwai, Idaho)’s bucket
made it 40-37 heading into the
final 10 minutes.
Risinger scored the first
bucket of the fourth quarter, but
then Carroll answered with five
straight points to tie the contest
at 42. Risinger broke the tie with
a 3-pointer at the 4:02 mark and
the game stayed close as Chalich
hit a 3-pointer with 1:44left to
make it 49-47. Orlandi then
silenced the crowd with her big
3-pointer to help LCSC claim its
12th win in its last 13 games.
“We had a hard time stopping
them inside, especially in the
second half, but down the stretch
we were able to do just enough.
Both teams played really well and
we struggled to hit some open
looks at times, but our defense
remained steady and really kept
us in the game,” said Orr.
The Warriors look to take
another step in the conference
title race on Saturday when they
take on Montana Tech at 4:30
p.m., PST, in Butte, Mont.
