Game Night returns
By Elijah Phipps
of The Pathfinder
The title says it all; after all our
one month long hiatus, Game
Nights are back.
Judging from last week’s event,
they’re going to be as fun and
awesome as before. They include
LCSC’s very own Dr. Louis
Sylvester bringing a ton of board
games from his own collection
for students to play, the options
of what to play, as well as the
opportunities for a great time, are
endless.
The first Game Night for this
semester was on Thursday last
week, and it was definitely worth
going to. With the event lasting
from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., all were
able to have a great time and play
a few interesting and fun games.
Despite the amount of people at
the event, the majority of students
were able to play two card games
throughout the entire time. And
you’re dead wrong if you think
it was a boring two hours. From
students being the second one
taken out, due to their own failed
bluffs, in one game, to getting
dead last in a card game where
the more cards you collect the
more screwed you become.
Regrettably, Game Nights will
not be occurring as frequently
as before, with them being
scheduled once every 3 weeks
rather than once every 2 weeks
like last semester. The next one
is scheduled for Feb. 18. With
these events stretched so far
apart from each other, there are
even less excuses for you not to
come. When the 18th comes,
Game Night will be the perfect
opportunity for you to try
something new, hangout with
friends and make new ones, or
even abolish the boredom that’s
been building up in you all day.
With that being said, I hope I
see you all there next month.
The word college brings to
mind studying, sports and dorm
life. It does not usually bring up
thoughts of health insurance.
Lately though, Idaho colleges
have had to raise the subject due
to the current instability of state
rules and regulations. As if college
wasn’t stressful enough.
LCSC used to offer health
insurance for students, which
was helpful to some people and
a hassle for others. Now we have
different problems.
As of last semester, LCSC ceased
to provide health insurance. This
was due to new rules at the federal
and state levels declaring that
everyone’s health insurance must
be ACA (Affordable Care Act)
compliant. This simply means
that one’s health insurance policy
should provide a certain level
of coverage, as specified by the
ACA. Any level of coverage that
falls below that standard will not
be accepted as sufficient.
The Idaho State Board of
Education (SBOE) made colleges
and universities change their
health insurance requirements,

Pathfinder Policies..........2
LCSC stopped providing
health insurance, but holes
were discovered in the federal
mandate
so as to be in accordance with
the federal requirements. The
new LCSC rules took affect this
semester and require all fulltime students to have an ACA
compliant health insurance
policy. The rules also allow
students a short term health
insurance policy for up to one
semester, giving people time to
find new insurance if they need
to transition.
However, a few holes were
discovered in the state mandate,
which created really unfair
conditions for college students.
So, LCSC has placed the section
of the health insurance policy
concerning ACA compliance on
hold. The Federal State Board
of Education will be meeting
in Feb. in an attempt to rewrite
the mandate. The results of that
meeting are anyone’s guess at this
point.
The important thing for
students to do right now is to
submit proof of health insurance.
Any insurance. Students should
also watch their LCmail accounts
for updates to the situation.
Students played a variety of fun and unique games at Game Night.

From the Editor
We get caught up worrying about trivial things.
Maybe your car wouldn’t start this morning, your washing machine
broke, or you got a less than stellar score on an exam. These everyday
challenges can seem like a big deal to us. At least they do until
something truly horrible happens.
When tragedy strikes, your perspective changes. Your path becomes
a little less straight, your thoughts a bit foggier, your mind slightly
altered.
Time is a band-aid for the wounds, but there will always be a scar.
It may heal, but there is still the reminder that nothing will ever really
be the same.

Lewiston definitely gets a lot of punches thrown its way. People love
to hate it. They call the Lew ugly, smelly, and boring. Sure it might be
all those things. It might be. But hey, I like to find the beauty in all
things. I took a walk this morning, and all the other times I’ve walked
down the ever so interesting city blocks, I think I always looked at
everything as a whole, big picture. When you pull back and look at
Lewiston, sure there might not be beautiful pristine neighborhoods.
This morning was different though. I stopped to take pictures of the
last flower surviving on a tree and of a pretty archway in someone’s
front yard. I believe you can find something beautiful anywhere if you
try. All you have to do is focus in on the details, on the little nuances
you can’t find anywhere else. It’s there; you just have to know how to
appreciate different kinds of beauty.

Twitter debate between B.o.B. and Neil

B.o.B then jumped on board
defending her.
Maybe I am giving these
celebrities(ish) too much credit,
but I highly doubt that two people
who have flown around (not
across) the planet could possibly
think that it is flat. Instead, I see
this as one big publicity stunt.
I think Tila Tequila was just
looking for a way to get back into
the spotlight and B.o.B decided to
jump on the bandwagon and get
himself a share of the publicity.
Like I said, maybe I’m being a
little generous but I don’t think
even Tila Tequila could be that
behind the times. But you never
know. For now I am just going to
sit back and watch Neil Degrasse
Tyson hilariously topple their
arguments, and I definitely will
not be following Tequila or B.o.B
on Twitter anytime soon.
Since its launch in 2006, Twitter
has allowed fans to connect with
their favorite celebrities and get
a glimpse into the minds and
opinions of today’s biggest stars.
But how much of what the stars
post is genuine and how much of
it is only for publicity?
If you have been on the
internet lately, you are probably

Wakie, wakie, giants. It’s time
to make the world great again.
Imagine a world where four
giants, strong towering titans
with immense power, control the
elements. These giants wonder
their world, using their abilities to
create mountains, oceans, forests,
and swamps across the barren
lands. As the world becomes more
fertile, people emerge from holes
in the ground and start making
settlements and civilizations. The
giants are able to coexist, as well
as help or hinder, these new, yet
familiar, creatures. Over time,
however, the giants grow tire and
must rest. When they wake up,
the world is barren and unlivable
like before, and, like before, they
use their abilities to make it great
again. And, like before, humanity
reappears, to make settlements
and civilizations, all the while
turning to the giants for help.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is
Reus. Quick warning, unless you
are alone or prepared to embarrass
yourself, don’t attempt to
pronounce the name and expect
to nail it your first try. I’ve own the
game for over a year, and it took
countless tries to say it without
sounding completely nuts. To be
honest, I’m still not sure if I’m
pronouncing it correctly. Never
mind that though, we are already
a mile off topic.
As stated already, this is Reus.
It is a nice, simple, and rather
calming game that, like any other
good game, gets more difficult
over time, and can require a lot
of time an effort to accomplish
certain tasks and missions. In the
game, you, the player, control four
giants, with each having their own
abilities and element that they
control. The game starts with the
giants waking up and the world
being barren and near featureless.
As you have the giants change
and improve the world, people
start appearing and create new
settlements. These settlements
will give special tasks for you
to accomplish, with a limited
amount of time need to finish
them. By accomplishing tasks,
settlements are able to improve
and advance in technology and
resources. Accomplishing tasks
also allow your giants to improve
by giving them new special
abilities.
Reus also has a single
campaign…of sorts. Instead of a
narrative or a story, the campaign
is more of a way to allow you
to get and make certain things
in the game, as well as earn
achievements. The basic goal of
the game’s campaign, in a sense,
is to try to get as much stuff done
as you can during the limited
amount of time you have before
the giants go back to sleep.
I would like to say there is a ton
of more interesting stuff in the
game that I’m not telling you in
order to avoid spoilers, but that’s
not true this time. Although the
game has a lot more to it than
what I’ve told you, most, if not
all, are not that big and are just
the finer details of what I’ve
already stated. Reus is very much
a simplistic game, and that’s what
makes it a good game. Although
it does get more complicated in
certain areas, the game aims to
be simple, from its 2d art style
to its gameplay. In the end, Reus
achieved what it strived to be; a
simple and calming game that
provided interesting and difficult
challenges.

“Dogfight” takes the stage at Lewiston Civic
Theatre
By Chase Murphy
of The Pathfinder
Opening this past weekend at
the Civic Theatre, “Dogfight”,
the musical based on the 1991
movie of the same name, reminds
audiences that people can be
more than their appearances
let on. Set in the 1960s, the
musical follows United States
marine Eddie Birdlace and his
fellow foul-mouthed soldiers as
they compete to find the ugliest
woman to bring to a party. Eddie
meets a musically gifted but very
shy and awkward waitress named
Rose Fenny and decided that she
is the “dog” he will bring.
The cast and crew at the Civic
Theatre did a fantastic job with
this musical. The set design, while
minimal, is quite interesting
to look at and it seems that the
costume designers paid great
attention to detail. What really
steals the show however, are the
performances by Isaac Ryckehem
(Birdlace) and Alaina Trickey
(Fenny). They have wonderful
onstage chemistry together and
both seem to be very talented
singers.
Now, while the play was very
well produced and directed,
my only real issue was how
predictable the plot was. If you’ve
ever seen a romance or romantic
comedy movie you can probably
guess how the story will go. The
characters, while portrayed with
depth and honesty, did feel like
typical rom-com characters.
This play is also rated R for
strong language and violence but
I would still highly recommend
seeing it. It is playing at the
Lewiston Civic Theatre located at
805 6th avenue until Feb. 14.

Music Review
GoldLink delivers hip-hop in his own way
By Cori Ng
of The Pathfinder
GoldLink is a difficult artist
to define. Bursting onto the
scene through collaboration with
L.A.-based musical collective
Soulection, the young artist
delivers lines in a hip-hop
fashion that are all his own. The
refreshingly unique style that
GoldLink captures has earned
him attention from across the
board, but it is only with the
release of his premier album that
listeners finally get a chance to
actually peer into the mind of
the man. Combined with a killer
team of producers and melodic
beats that demand movement,
And After That, We Didn’t Talk
(2015) is an easy success.
One of the strongest points of
the album continues to be the
presence of the relatively
low-key producer Louie
Lastic. As on The God
Complex, Lastic’s future
beats are the driving force
behind the kinetic energy
that powers GoldLink’s
tracks. Though Lastic
is not the sole producer
to work with GoldLink,
his songs are easily the
most memorable. The
duo manages to capture
a funky feel that is both
fresh and retro, and
while the formula in the
new album is extremely
reminiscent of the one
they utilized in the old
mixtape, it is by no
means a bad thing.
“Spectrum” features
a sample of the toughas-nails performer Missy
“Misdemeanor” Elliott,
giving the track a cadence
evocative of the rough rhymes
spat fast and hard during the
early 2000’s. GoldLink builds on
this with his own signature style,
smoothly delivering lines that
pop over a bouncy, danceable
beat. This is a style he and Lastic
perfected in his first mixtape, The
God Complex (2014) with tracks
like “Divine” and “Bedtime
Story.” The following track,
“Dance on Me” is similarly easy
to groove to, but is methodically
held in check by a smooth R&B
backing that combines with a
steady percussion to create an
otherworldly ambience.
And yet, it would be myopic
and shortsighted to think that
the artist who penned the
genre of “Future Bounce” as
being solely capable of creating
mindless dance tracks. Despite
his penchant for sensual nights
spent on the dance floor, he is
no stranger to the fragility of
the heart. It is this vulnerability
that drives him to lose himself
nightly pursuits of free and easy
companionship in “Palm Trees.”
Lifting lines from the Galimatias/
Alina
Baraz
collaboration,
“Fantasy”, GoldLink equates his
turn to the escapism offered by
these nights as pure bliss. Yet he
betrays his own words in the final
song of the album “See I Miss” as
he expresses remorse for his failed
relationship with Colombian
singer Kali Uchis.
For those who became fans of
GoldLink after being exposed
to the energy and flow of The
God Complex, there are no
disappointments in And After
That, We Didn’t Talk. Though
some of the songs take a slower
pace, the vast majority of them
are still amazing to both move
your body to and vibe out on the
sidelines. The triumph of this
album is that it exposes GoldLink
as an artist on both a creative and
human level – we learn more of
his personal story, and enjoy a
bounce-filled romp on the club
dancefloor at the same time.
Well worth your time.

movie Review
Minimalist movie, Certified Copy, steps outside
typical Hollywood system
By Chase Murphy
of The Pathfinder
If you discovered that your
favorite work of art was a forgery,
should that change your opinion
or your feelings towards it? Abbas
Kiarostami’s 2010 minimalist film
Certified Copy seeks to answer that
very question.
The movie follows a series of
conversations between a nameless
woman played by Juliette Binoche
and an author named James Miller
played by British Opera singer
William Shimell. James Miller is
promoting his new book about
the value of forgery and meets
with a woman (Binoche) who
is an antiques dealer. Together
they tour the Italian countryside
debating each other’s views on
what should be considered “art.”
Like
Iranian
director
Kiarostami’s other films, Certified
Copy was filmed in a minimalist
style that really suits this type
of story. There are plenty of
long takes feeling so naturalistic
that I wonder if the dialogue
wasn’t improvised. That would
be very surprising considering
this is Shimell’s first ever film
role. Despite this fact, he really
proves he can hold his own next
to award winning veteran screen
actress Juliette Binoche.
What I appreciated most about
this movie was the creativity put
into developing the characters’
relationship. There is a moment
where a woman mistakes them
for a married couple due to the
way they are arguing. Rather than
correct her, they decide to play
along. From that point on, as far
as the movie is concerned, they
are an old married couple. Their
debates move from their views
on art to their views on their
withering “marriage.”
If you need a movie to have
a clear structure, I would not
recommend Certified Copy. But if
you would like to start exploring
movies outside of the Hollywood
system, this movie would be a
fantastic place to start.

Review
The new face of TV: The LGBT community
By Amanda Wallace
of The Pathfinder
Think about when you first
watched an old episode of Leave
it to Beaver or I Love Lucy, and
they showed the couple’s room.
There was a couple getting
ready for bed, and they slept in
two different beds. They said
goodnight with a quick peck on
the lips. Television had stricter
rules back then. In the days of
those kinds of shows, it would
be scandalous for the couple to
be sleeping in the same bed. It’s
2016. Television has changed,
and it’s about time.
There are many TV shows that
have covered quite a bit of ground
since the 50’s. Now, married
couples are shown lying in their
bed together talking about the
day’s problems. A couple making
out on TV isn’t something
scandalous or something many
people bat an eye over in today’s
shows. In older shows,
a husband and wife
wouldn’t be shown
having an intimate
moment together. Yet
something was even
more forbidden on
TV: Same sex couples
kissing, let alone
holding hands. Times
have changed. Many
shows today represent
the LGBT community,
such as: The 100, Teen
Wolf, Glee, How to Get
Away with Murder,
Grey’s Anatomy, Orange
is the New Black, Pretty
Little Liars, and more.
Many of these shows
have received negative
feedback, just because
of this kind of content they
produce. Glee had back lash for
showing two male characters in
bed together. The 100 has two
lead characters who are bisexual,
powerful women. Legends of
Tomorrow’s Sara Lance, The Black
Canary, is a powerful woman
who isn’t afraid of her sexuality.
It’s amazing to see a woman
superhero who is also bisexual on
TV.
Having LGBT characters
represented on TV in today’s
society, means a community
who has been fighting for the
rights for a long time, is finally
being represented in the media.
This is a big deal in the history
of television and media, because
for the longest time even seeing
a man and a woman together in
the same bed on TV was a big
deal. Finally society is accepting
that this is a norm, and that
LGBT people should be treated
and represented equally, even on
TV.
As kids, we’re taught to stay
in the lines when we color. You
could also say we’re taught to stay
in the lines when it comes to the
status quo. That was then, but this
is now. We become more exposed
to things as adults, and with more
knowledge and exposure we get as
an audience of media, things can
slowly become better. Some are
opposed to these changes in TV
programs. We, society as a whole,
doesn’t deal with change well,
especially when it comes to new
cultures, sexualities, and ideas.
However, some are more willing
to explore the changes that occur
outside the status quo.
These characters aren’t only
defined by their sexuality, and
they won’t let their sexuality be
the only thing that people talk
about. Having LGBT characters
in the media is so important
to have in shows, because it’s
finally time for them to shine and
educate us.

Streak ends at 10 as No. 3
Warriors fall to Bears, 81-74
Lewis-Clark State College
Press Release
The third-ranked Lewis-Clark
State College men’s basketball
team suffered their second loss
of the season, both coming on
the road to Frontier Conference
opponents, this time an 81-74 loss
to Rocky Mountain College at
The Fortin Center on Thursday
night.
Lewis-Clark State defeated the
Battlin’ Bears 100-59 at the LCSC
Activity Center just three weeks
ago, but faced a much different
squad on in Montana, while also
playing their worst defense of the
season. The Warriors, who fell to
19-2 overall and 7-2 in FC play,
allowed RMC to become just the
second team to shoot better than
50 percent in a game, the other
coming in their other loss to
Carroll (64.2%).
“Rocky Mountain played really
well tonight,” said Warriors Head
Coach Brandon Rinta. “That
is a much better team than we
faced at our place. Pair that with
our worst defensive effort of the
year and they deserved to win
tonight.”
Rocky Mountain (13-8, 4-5)
became just the third team,
joining Corban and Carroll, to
make at least 30 field goals in
a contest against the Warriors.
The Bears finished 30-for-56 in
the contest going 8-for-22 from
beyond the arc (36.4%) and 13for-21 from the charity stripe
(61.9%).
The home team got off to a
fast start, leading 9-2 early, but
the Warriors showed some fight
as Rich Tesmer scored four of
the next seven points to cut the
deficit to two, 11-9. Another
Tesmer basket gave LCSC their
first lead, 14-13, but Rob Nyby
converted back-to-back baskets
to push the deficit back to three.
Six minutes later the Warriors
got a three-pointer from David
Shedrick, and back-to-back layups
from Youssoupha Kane and Nick
Emerson to take their largest
lead of the game, three points.
The home team kept coming,
finishing the half on a 22-6 run to
make it 47-34 RMC at the half.
Lewis-Clark State was able to
cut their 10 first half turnovers
down to five in the second half,
but it wasn’t enough. Nyby hit a
pair of baskets to push the RMC
lead to a game-high 17 points
early in the second half, but LC
responded with a 9-0 run, capped
by a three-point play from Kane
to cut the margin to eight, 51-43.
The Lead was trimmed to nine
and the Warriors then scored
their next 15 points from beyond
the arc, including a trio of trey’s
from Cammie Lewis, the last
of which made it a three point,
66-63 contest with 7:35 to play.
Jacob Wiley went to work inside,
scoring the next nine points for
LCSC, but the Warriors couldn’t
get the stop they needed in the
loss.
“We can’t expect to defend
like that and have any success
in this conference, especially
on the road. We will learn from
this and refocus for our game on
Saturday,” said Rinta.
The Warriors played okay
offensively, shooting 43.8 percent
(28-of-64) from the floor including
a 10-for-29 (34.5%) mark from
long range, but committed 15
turnovers on the night leading to
18 points for the Bears.
McDaniel paced the Warriors
with 15 points and grabbed four
rebounds with Wiley adding 14
points and seven boards. Rich
Tesmer added 10 points and
Zavon Jackson led the team with
three assists.
Chad Kananen paced RMC
with 25 points.
The Warriors continue their
road trip on Saturday, Jan. 30
as they face No. 25 Montana
Western in Dillon, Mont. Tip-off
is scheduled for 6:30 p.m.

Orlandi buzzer beater sends Warriors past
Bears, 58-56
Lewis-Clark State College
Press Release
The
13th-ranked
LewisClark State College women’s
basketball team overcame an
11-point deficit and a Caelyn
Orlandi<http://www.lcwarriors.
com/roster/19/2/2478.php>
(JR/Coeur d’Alene, Idaho) layup
with 1.6 seconds left gave LCSC
the 58-56 Frontier Conference
road win over Rocky Mountain
College at The Fortin Center on
Thursday night.
“We pulled it out,” said
Warriors Head Coach Brian
Orr<http://www.lcwarriors.
com/roster/19/2/2473.php>.
“Somehow we pulled it out. We
were lackadaisical for most of
the first half and we lacked effort
on the defensive end. We didn’t
cut hard or move efficiently on
offense and we missed shots
we normally make. I just didn’t
feel we were focused or intense
enough in the first half.”
It was a struggle in the first half
for the Warriors, who improve to
17-3 overall and 8-1 in FC play, as
they shot just 29 percent in the
first 20 minutes, committing 12
turnovers and allowing RMC
(12-9, 4-5) to attempt 16 free
throws.
“Foul trouble really started all
of our problems in the early going.
When we moved to the zone we
fouled less, but were still making
mistakes that shouldn’t happen,
sending them to the line.”
It was a back and forth first
quarter as the Bears jumped out
to an 8-0 lead early, but LCSC
responded with nine straight
points, four from Hannah
Byerly<http://www.lcwarriors.
com/roster/19/2/2474.php>
(SR/Caldwell, Idaho), to cut
the deficit to one. The home
team used a 7-2 run to close the
opening frame with a 17-11 lead.
Rocky Mountain pushed the
lead to a game-high 11 points
late in the second quarter as
LCSC went 0-for-4 from three,
was outrebounded 16-12 and
committed seven turnovers to
enter the locker room down 10,
33-23.
“I thought we defended better
in the second half,” said Orr. “I
thought the key was we started
to value the basketball better in
the second half and had Hannah,
Brooke and Brittany really step
up and knock down some big
shots.”
After the Bears pushed
the lead back to 10 early in
the third, the Warriors used
an 11-0 run, six from Byerly
and punctuated by a Megan
Risinger<http://www.lcwarriors.
com/roster/19/2/2477.php>
(JR/Tigard, Ore.) three-pointer,
to take their first lead, 36-35. The
home team didn’t fold, finishing
the quarter with 10 unanswered
to make it 45-36 RMC with 10
minutes to play.
The LCSC offense found
another level in the final
quarter, using a 15-6 run,
including a pair of 3’s by Brooke
Litalien<http://www.lcwarriors.
com/roster/19/2/2479.php>
(JR/Post Falls, Idaho), to tie the
score at 51. Byerly answered an
RMC basket with one of her own
to put Lewis-Clark up 55-54 with
1:19 to play. Orlandi hit a free
throw with 37 seconds left, but
the home team tied the score at
56 with 21 seconds left and no
timeouts for the Warriors. That’s
when Orlandi, who was 1-of-11
to that point, took control and
converted a left-handed layup
with 1.6 seconds remaining for
the win.
“We’ve been working on
that drive with her (Caelyn
Orlandi<http://www.lcwarriors.
com/roster/19/2/2478.php>)
and told her she’d surprise them
if she went left, she did and she
got us the win,” said Orr. “We
put ourselves in the position we
were in and we found a way to
win.”
The Warriors, who committed
12 first half turnovers and
allowed 12 offensive rebounds in
the opening 20 minutes, allowed
neither in the second half to
help propel them to a comeback
victory.
LCSC finished the contest
22-of-55 from the field (40%)
and 5-of-20 (25%) from behind
the arc while shooting just 60
percent (9-of-15) from the charity
stripe. At the other end, Rocky
finished 17-of-62 from the floor
(27.4%) and 3-of-20 from long
range (15%), but converted 19-of22 free throws (86.4%) to keep it
close.
Byerly finished with a team-high
14 points with three rebounds
and two blocks. Litalien added
13 points and Tackett finished
with 12 while also grabbing five
rebounds, tied with Risinger for
the team lead. Orlandi finished
with just six points but also had
six assists on the night.
“Brooke has been playing well
for us and continued that tonight.
She defended well, hit some big
threes and has a great jump shot,”
said Orr.
The Warriors look to push
their season-high nine game
win streak to 10 as they travel to
Dillon, Mont. to face Montana
Western on Saturday, Jan. 30 at
4:30 p.m.

Poet’s Corner
Featuring work by Elijah Phipps
A reich is a kingdom
A reich is a kingdom
A kingdom of men
With those who stand tall
And refuse to bend
We will count our enemies once
And we will count them once again
Oh, why can we not see
We have marched into their den
We have enemies who cannot be found
Look around, look around
Do you see them in the smoke
We cannot deny this, yet we refuse to say it
Destiny played us tricks
Fate has not been clear to us
Smoke and mirrors and useless trinkets
Look around, look around
They cannot be found
No matter how many we find
There are dozens more out of sight
We count them once, we count them twice
And then we count one more time
Oh, why could we not see this now
It is a never ending fight
It is a war of dreams and smoke and nights
No matter how hard we last
We will never finish the test
We cannot let enemies hide
Yet we cannot wait and die
Face it now
Or face it last
A reich is a kingdom, a kingdom of men
With enemies all around
They cannot be found in the smoke
