a Police have no leads in Lhc investigation of a violent rape of a 19-year-old North Idaho College student in t.hc

parking lot of the Fort Sherman Apartments Feb. 22, according to Coeur d'Alene Police Lt. Greg Surplus.

Evidence that could have led potire to the suspect was lost becau.5e the victim waited too long 10 go to police, Surplus said. a An NIC student has moved out of her dom1 as a result of an a11emp1cd rape by an ocquaimcncc of hers.

No charges were filed agaill5t the male student. a A wornan last fall claimed she was raped by a gang of NIC students in the college donn. 0..."lll of Students David Lind~y spoke with the alleged panicipanL~ who gave an opposing story. 11,e woman did not prer.s charges and wished to remain anonymous. a Many women haw gone to Lhc school nurse for cvnluntion sm:cnings for SCJ1ually transmitted diseases.

Several have described probable dote or cnng rapes, Linda Poulsen, school nurse. said.

IIThc rape crisis ccmcr in Kootenai County report~'() 19 calb in the J.151 three month~ from rape victims.

1l1csc reports, the problems of invcstigming them and other rumors of rape have led to the devclopnK'llt of a Rape Awareness workshop to be held April 16 nt 11 a.m. in the Bonner Room of the Student Union Building, Poulsen said.

"We need 10 let people know this is not jUSt a big-city problem," I indsay said. "It hOPJJCns right here in Nonh

Aocon:ling to Dr. Jnck OaJ..'\\1igllt. n clinical ~)'li1ologl!,1 who works with the Women's Center, " It's imponant to have information availnble to the public. It's too easy to tool. the other way."

Oakwright said cwn uD.X>nfumcd reportS of rape should be rnndc public. "Awareness makes us more careful and more smart," he snid.

Sgt. Jim Grcensides of the Coeur d'Alene Police Department snid,"lt would h<!lp police 10 know nbout incidents C\'Cll if victims remained anonymous." Groen.sides ,,;11 speak during the workshop.

One of the reasons that victims don't want to be identified is beamsc lhe woman sometimcs feels cmbarassed or rcspon.slble ror the rape, Poulsen said. This is especial~ true in the case of date rape whcTc alcohol has been ltl\'Olvcd .

'_'But just because I'm drunk doesn't mean I want sc.x, or Just because I am close 10 you physically docsn 't mcan I want to have se.x," Poulsen said.

Library/computer center nears completion Money, time still needed ~Jj;~

by Am,nda Cowley Stntmtl Rtpo,ttr

Ste;idily, a drcam l~ coming imo reality.

Nonh ldall" r~·:. 6 e will be moving into the new bbrary/computer cx:ntcr. The S4.3 million, 49 ,200-SQuarc-foot building is on target 10 ma.'I the completion deadline of Sept. I, 1991.

TI1e completion of the building ilSClf, however, may be the end of a chapter, but it is not the end of the book. According 10 college administrator.., stocking the 1he new building will take lime, money and dedication.

The library staff will be moving into the new building in the fall to ready it for u.,;e by the spring semester of 1992.

Students in the spring semester will find ~ixtcnths of an acre of new library on the first Ooor of the n~'W building. Also on this noor will be a small auditorium, conference rooms, a 5JX,'1:illl collections room, a c~room, ~taff offices and a new security system to protect the ~'Ollcction from theft. " It's going to be an munctive plaa:,'' P~1dem Robcn 13cnncu said. ''It will give a new credibility 10 the campus."

The SO.'Olld lloor will hold five different computer lab) separated by folding wnll par· titions and linked cl<'.1ronically to all p.vts of the campus and a teltcommumcations center hooked up to a ~tatcwide mk:row·.ive network.

Also on the second noor will be offices for NIC faculty and the expanded OUtmlCh facility of the University of Idaho.

The library in 1992 will be very different rrorn the one that Mary Carr, director of library services, came to in 1989. "When I first came, I couldn't even phone out from the library." ~he said. "There was a 5l!ll5C of real isolation."

Carr has worked hard to overcome this image of isolation, she said, but ''When you take a library that was in as much need of thing as this one was, you don't get a magic wand to fix it overnight-It takes time."

The problems that face the library arc also evident 10 Steve Schmk. dean of college relations and development; but. he said, "There is a major commitment on the pan or the college to provide materials for the new facility " A lot of materials arc nccdcd to fill the new library. When Carr became director of the library in 1989 she found about 35.<XX> volumes on the shcl~t?!t. A college of this sil.c should have about 80.<XX> volumes, Carr said.

111c new library will hold abou1 100,(XX) volumes.

You know.

you should make o formol complaint to

Rape report responsibility starts with administration One of the posters advertising the Rape IOI workshop reads: "What students don't know about rape is a crime." But what the administration that is respon· sible for educating those students doesn't know about rape is still a larger crime. And what the ad· ministration knows about rape but doesn't tell its students is a crime compounded by a tacit ad· mission that rape is acceptable conduct.

There is no evidence to suggest that the administration has a formal policy to hush reports of rape involving NIC students, and it would be wrong to imply such.

But, the administration has a duty to provide a secure environment on campus-an environment in which students know the danger of rape; an environment in which action is taken immediately to correct a dangerous situation; an environment in which any and all reports of rape are investigated promptly and vigorously by the proper authorites; an environment in which a victim of rape feels safe in coming forward; an environment in which the rapist is afraid she will.

Sadly, NI C is not doing all it could. Although lighting on campus has increased over previous semesters, security patrols between 5 and 9 p.m. have been curtailed.

Reports made to the ad· ministration of possible assaults involving NIC students have not been made public. Current, as well as prospective students, need to have that information so they know what measures to take in order to feel secure.

The college has no policy of how to handle reports made to Auooiatod UfNlyl" Editor lnalant Culture Editor ic.w, llll

place appropriate\ ( organization her")

ondmoke yourself heard

NIC employees. NIC has no policy regarding who should conduct investigations of reports or rumors, or how and when those investigations should proceed.

The administration should form a committee including representatives from the faculty, students and administration to oversee the investigation of incidents involving students. Such organizations work well at other colleges. rr a victim wishes to press criminal charges, the in· vestigation would immediately be handed over to police.

The administration should develop clear policies for dealing with reports of rape and make these policies explicit to all NIC employees. Recently one NIC employee did not answer any queries regarding reported rapes, and referred them to her superior "to keep the rumors down."

There is no such policy. It is an example of the type of ''ghost policies" bureaucracies tend to develop when those in charge do not take the lead.

NIC employees who could come into contact with a rape vic1im should receive training in how 10 correctly deal with the report and the victim.

Stopping rape on campus will take a concened and long-term effort by everyone. Workshops like " Rape IOI" should take place at the beginning of every semester.

All of NIC needs to realize rape is not a crime confined to perverted individuals. Rather it is fostered, or deterred, by the environment we all create on campus. We can hide our heads and hope it goes away or we can strive to erradicate it.

But aren't we oil Just 'Dust In the Wind?'

Librarian agrees with NIC recycling Editor: In response 10 Terry M. Berg's lcucr to the editor (3·28-91) entitled "Time to Recycle Paper on Campus," I agree that there should be a campus-wide recycling effort. In facl, from what I undersland a program will be initiated soon. Economics alone will dictate that it will happen.

However, I beg to differ with Mr. Berg's assertion that "on NI C's campus no steps have been taken to recycle PAPER." There nre scvemt departments on campus that are dedicated to recycli ng. As a case in point, the library staff regularly recycles newspapers. co~puter paper, cans ond bottles. A bin labeled "white paper" stands by the copiers. This has been nn on-going project since 1989. Visit the library most any Saturday and you will witness library staff members bundling and hauling newspapers to my car. In fact, I have been 10 Panhandle Recycling often enough to be designated an honorary employee!

JuM like Mr. Berg, I would welcome a co-ordinated, campus-wide effort . But until then, the library staff will continue 10 do ils part 10 ~ave 1rccs and landfills.

Recycling household waste reliable Editor: The only reliable approach to 1he disposal of the was1es genera1ed by our households and industry is to recycle what we can of it. We as a community and nation have en1husias1ically accepted this principle with regard 10 household waste.

Argonne Labs at INEL is developing a new process 1h01 is no1 only many rimes safer than conventional nuclear power plants but also recycles its spent fuel to totally con· sume all of the long life nuclear material. The Integra ted Fas1 Reactor is a modified breeder reactor that does not produce plutonium, nor any other transuranic waste-a fault with other breeders.

With this eitciting development underway, Cecil Andrus is wrong to block the ship· ment of spent fuel rods from Colorado. These rods arc not throw-away contaminated material, but contain 97 percen1 of the uranium of new rods and lhc IFR plant can recycle this ma1erial. Andrus's misguided action not only hampers this impor1ant research work, but is also encouraging DOE to do this vital work at loca1ions outside of Idaho.

Idaho should be proud of its becoming a vital hi-tech research center. Let us not stand in its way!

Thursday, April II, 1991

Rape victim destroys myths When I told him "No," I meant it. He didn't take me seriously. He thought I was like all the rest-an easy little slut. But I. wasn't. I was just me. A 14-year-old virgin saving myself for marriage. He didn't believe that I could possibly hold onto such a stupid fairy tale. Sex after marriage didn't fit his imKarin Lau age of me.

My voice becoming forceful, I told him "No" again ... and again...and again, until my struggling arms gave out. I couldn't push him off of me. He overpowered me.

I couldn't keep my virginity. After his triumphant orgasm, he would never say another word to me.

My last words 10 him- "Pleasel Noll" I don't think he realized he did anything wrong.

To this day, he probably believes he just had sex with me. But he didn't. He did more than just have sex. He raped me. Destroying a part of me everytime he ignored my pleas.

At 13 years old, he already believed in society's mythical ideals concerning rape. These myths only legitimize the crime. Women often don't report rapes because of these myths. I didn't.

They shift the blame from the rapist onto the woman, often causing a victim to believe she was at fault. As a result, a rapist often walks away from his crime with clean hands and conscience while his victims receives a life-long, agonizing sentence full or unanswered questions about herself.

Many people rationalize rape by believing: • Myth No. I-The rapist is almost always a stranger to the victim. The truth: Most women know the rapist.

I had known the boy for about five years before he raped me. His sister was in my Girl Scout troop when I was 9 years old. Last year I met four victims of aquaintance rape in one of my classes at NIC. And a woman alleges in an unauthorized biography about Nancy Reagan that formerPresident Ronald Reagan raped her during a visit to her home about 3S years ago. Some stranger.

• Myth No. 2-A II women secretly wallf to be raped. Some men believe women enjoy being overpowered. Others believe that because men rape in the name of masculinity, women should be raped in the name of femininity.

I never wanted co be raped. I am terrified of being overpowered by a man, especially since being raped. And why should I be forced to have sex against my will in the name of femininity? Being raped didn't help my womanhood one bit!

• Myt/1 No. 3-A woman cannot be raped against her will. Some people believe all women can completely control their sexual encounters.

I thought I could too. I believed in fairy-talc sex and consenting partners sharing equal control.

But I was wrong. No one can control everything that happens 10 him or her, and sexual encounters arc no different than any other situation. If I'd had any control, I would have been able co physically stop him from raping me. a Myth No. 4-The woman asked for it. How did she ask for it? Not verbally. Many people believe women who dress coo seductively or who "come on" co men deserve to be raped. Last year, a judge acquitted a man charged with rape because the woman had dressed in a lace skirt the night she was raped. The judge said the m.ln couldn't control his sexual impulses because of how she dressed. He also said. in the courtroom, that the victim deserved being raped.

I never asked to be raped!

When I said "No,'' I meant just that-"No!" I pleaded until my body gave out. I also dressed in jeans and a t·shirt that day-nothing special, sexy or ~educti,c. But I made one mistake.

Became he was too drunk, I put my arm around him and helped him walk home. Lacer we kissed Plrau ,a

Employees fired for not serving daiquiri Recemly two employees . - - - - - - - - - - . of a Seaule area Red Robin restaurant were fired for refusing to serve a daiquiri io a pregnant woman.

This event raises some interesting concerns about the health, restaurant service and dining habits of Americans.

- - -- -- - --- The waiter and Ken Allen waitress, G.R. Heryford and Danita Fitch, were overcautious, and the refusal was unneccessary because the lady was so far along in her pregnancy (she gave birth a week later) the chances of damage to the fetus were infinitesimal.

However, 1 like what they did. I think refusing 10 knowingly contribute to what they percieved as child abuse shows a lot of backbone. It shows that they have deep feelings and convictions and arc against compromising their principles for cash-they arc a definite minority in this country.

Perhaps they shouldn't have been fired.

It i~ true that they didn't do the job they were hired for. They are (or were) foodservers whose responsibility is 10 fulfill the wishes of the customer in an orderly and polite manner. That

doesn't mean they should be allowed co serve as the collective conscience of the restaurant-or the management-in this particular case.

However, their ignorance shouldn't have been punished with such a severe penalty.

The medical history of do's and don't's concerning pregnant women isn't exactly common knowledge. For a great many moons I thought all pregnant women looked overweight for nine grueling months and suddenly lost it all when Junior or Junette decided 10 give life on the outside a 1ry.

I now know this 10 be untrue.

Women don't start showing for a while into the pregnancy. "A while" might be a bit vague, but as near as I can figure, it means after four or five months and several gallons of ice cream topped with sweet pickles and Hershcys chocolate sauce.

And they don't stop showing for a while after the birth, but we won't go into that for ob,•ious reasons.

According to doctors, medical expens and other sources, the threat of fetus deformity from alcohol comes in the early stages of the pregnancy, before the woman's condition becomes obvious, and lessens as the fetus developes.

The drink would not have and apparently didn't do any harm to the fetus. So. although their intentions were admirable, they blew it by not knowing an)'lhing about the damage the drink would

or wouldn't do to a fetus so far advanced .

They were guilty of not giving the pregnant lady the benefit of possessing enough brains to know her head from a hole in the ground. I imagine she was extremely embarrassed and extremely pissed off. Who wouldn't be? After all, this is not the kind of service a woman expects when she goes 10 a restaurant-any restaurant.

The really disturbing idea to come out of this whole affair concern, those women who booze it up during the early stages of pregnancy-when they don't exactly look Lhc part of an expectant mother.

This person can hit the bars for months, getting ripped as often as she pleases, before the viewing public ever notices that something is wrong with this picture.

Currently no laws exist that restrict pregnant woman from really boozing it up, bu1 perhaps there should be some.

These laws would protect the unborn fetus, the establishment that is serving, or not serving the woman. and lastly the employees whose responsibility it would be to just sa> no 10 a pregnant woman's request for an alcoholic drink.

After all, get ling fired for ha\'ing a moral conscience and acting upon those morals would be a lousy way 10 go 10 the unemployment lines!

Desert Storm Cobra pilot responds Editor's note: This is a feller that Sentinel staff member Patricio Snyder received from M. R. (Jim) Sweatmon, a North Idaho serviceman serving in the Pe~ion Gulf. He gave his pem1issionfor the feller, wr1uen Morch I 7, to be printed.

March 17, 1991 Patricia, Hi! I goL your lener a few days ago.

I am glad you wrote. I have been getiing a few Ncwsweeks, and they don't tell Lhe correct story. I am in Fourth Squadron of the Second Armored Cavalry Regiment.

The 2ACR is par1 of 7th Corps. We went north into Iraq, which is near Ha far al Batin and well west of the Wadi al Balin. Also, the 2ACR is noL a division; it is a regiment. We operate in front of our good guys to look for the bad guys.

My Job u a Cobra (helicopter) pilot is 10 protect the Scout, an OH-58 (helicopter). We are to find the bad guys and caII in ar1 illery. We really are not 10 take on tanks using Cobras, but there were times out here where it was unavoidable. We worked with F-16s and A-IOs a few limes.

Our job as a cavalry troop is to find 1he enemy and use what is available to make the ground guys' job ea.sier. We have three ground squadrons to work with. Behind us are the divisions. Those are the big guys- heavy armor. The cavalry is small nnd extremely quick to answer the call 10 move out. We left Germany in a month. The only thing that slows us down is our support.

You may already know mall is a big problem out here. What you may not know is we didn't have a support base for a long time. We deployed before they got in Saudi.

So here we, 2ACR, are in green camounage uniforms. We didn't get any desert issue until around Christmas.

That really isn '1 so bad, but helicopter pans were hard 10 get and on and on ....

The rear guys have ii much belier then our guys up front. Support wise. anything put out of a warehouse for us

gets picked clean of anything that those Rem rs (Rear Echelon expletive deleted) want.

I don't want 10 sound like a whiner, but most of us up front feel our support is in need of a serious restructure. Our support can't keep up with us or meet our basic needs, i.e., mail, water, replacement paru and hygiene. enough said about that.

We wen t north and turned right 10 take on the Iraqi Republican guards. We set a world record on going the farthest in the shortest time. In Kuwait we stopped and at night we could see the oil field glowing. In o few days the black cloud would come our way, but most of the time it went along the coast.

We were in the Northwestern part of Kuwait. I had a fun time checking out Soviet tanks and armored personel carriers.

During the war we had Kuwaiti translators. They went 10 their homes and a couple returned. They were a good group of guys. What they saw and told us made our skin crawl. The Iraqi soldiers are just as bad as the SS of Hitler's army. Now the Republican Guard is against its own ch•ilian population. They ore a force against woman

and children. By no means are they elite.

Now I am In lnaq agaln. The only safe way back is the way we came. We arc all waiting for the peace treaty 10 be signed. So waiting is nothing new 10 us.

From the day we found out we were to deploy to Saudi via a special news repor1 on TV. Yes, TV. Wchavcbccnwai1ing.

We loaded our helicopters on boats and flew down on a 747. At the airport we walked a few hu·ndrcd yards 10 a holding area and waited for buses 10 mkc us 10 a staging area. It was 7 Dec. at 0100.

The temperature was in the mid 70's, and we all got a bottle of water. So we drank it since this is a desert and you don't want 10 gel heat stroke. What a mistake that was. The bus ride from hell was an hour long, and we all had to go 10 the bathroom. The Saudis were racing each other to gel to the staging area.

Not a good thing to do when your passengers have full bladders. We made it in one peicc and truely grateful 10 get off of the bus!

From there on Feb. 17 we left to a holding area to wait and return. Then a column of lraqi tanks was spoiled moving south. We were all doing other things like lencr-writing or, like me,

sleeping. We were so far south of the border our job was to just move in case a Scud was to be launched against us we would be evenly dispersed. ' I was awakened by a very nervous guy who told me the scoop. My heart rate jumped a bit. So we launched and went as far nonh as we could. We saw nothing. AU that stress and no tanks.

Believe it or not, that first mission was the stressful one. We all calmed down after that one mission.

We cafled the flnt staging area "Clark." The daily routine was simple: Wake up at 5 a.m., go 10 the AK and check it over, come back to the tent around 6 a.m. or 6:30 and put on a cup of coffee. Sometimes the mess guys had hot chow; most days it was MREs (individual meals ready to cal). Around 9 a.m. we would train to conduct offensive operations against the bad guys.

Noon was lunch and 1-2 p.m. was P.E. and 2-4 p.m. was personal time. You could wash cloths or whatever. Washing clothes was done by hand in bucketsone soapy wash bucket and a rinse bucket. Then hang them to dry on make-shift clotheslines.

At the pon we aJI pitched in a couple or bucks 10 buy a short-wave radio. Out in the middle of the desert that was our only source of news. The BBC and Radio Moscow were our two channels.

We would get the daily secret stuff of what the Air Force was doing ourselves, but we would like to know what the rest of the world wns doing. From lime 10 time we would get a couple outdated newspapers.

Around evening most guys would wash up. It is really impossible 10 be clean out here. We would use liquid soap or something like 1ha1 that would wash off easy. Again, using the buckets we went head to toe. If you were lucky the wind and sand wouldn't get the best of you and make you just as dirty as you were before.

Al night i.e would play cards or some other games. Quite a few guys had Game Boys. We would play or write letters, no TV, and the radio would be only

for a while, went a little farther..• but when it came to a oolain point, I didn't want to go any farther.

Just because I wenc a linle way past kissing doesn't mean I'm a prick-teasel I1 doesn't mean I deserve to be humiliated, degraded and terrorized. No human being deserves to suffer like that. a Myth No. .5. If a ll'Oman is being raped, she should relax and enjoy It. Whatever this myth's intentions, whelher it be helpful or humorous advice, it assumes that men shall always dominace no matter what-and besides, all women wam to be raped.

I bought into that one, too. I tried to enjoy it,

but l couldn't. l didn't want to be in that lituation, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't even begin to enjoy it. I even went so far as to deny admitting for many years that I had been raped.

My denial never changed what happened choughl Rape is noc a crime of sex-it's a crime of aggression against women. Recently, Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del., introduced legislation, citied "Violence Against Women Act." which among other things would classify rape as a hale or bias crime-a federal crime in the United States.

Thr~ types of rapi.sts do not commit rape just

for sexual gratification. They rape because they want to alleviate sexual inadequacies- to dominate, humiliate or degrade women-or to vent anger and seek revenge against women. The founh type, a small percentage, commits the crime for sexual pleasure, in which case the violence is eroticized.

Too many women's lives have been ruined by the myths. ll 's time co sruft the desuuction towai:d the myths and away from women. Rape can begin to be erased only when truth, not myth, becomes public knowledge.

anta The Qound·Table is sundered no longer

by Dan Hyde Stntmtl Ed/tor

hivalry is alive and weU at North Idaho CoUege-a1 least according to members of lhe Society of Creative Anachronisms. The SCA, a group of medieval hobbyists, lives out fani&ies by donning homemade suits of armor and wielding woodcn swords to balLlc ror 1he chance to be ruler of their imaginary kingdom.

It all began 25 years ago a1 a backyard par1y in Sacramenio when a group of friends lhoughl ii would be fun 10 drCM lhc pan of dukes, lords and royally of 1hc Middle Ages. l11e idea soon caught on and now lhe group claims 20.<XXl members:" "When I wns liltle. sword fighting was one of 1hc funnest things that I could ever think of doing," said Bert Caldwell, nn NIC nursing studcm and new member of SCA. "Then I met an SCA member at a Halloween p.-irly, dressed in au1hcntic•looldng annor. He told me quite a bit about it and I thought ii sounded like a lot of fun."

Each year the SCA organiL.es n Crown Tournament at Farrngul State Park where members from the Nonhwcst and Canada panicipatc in a week-long festival, trading hom....rnadc crafts, 5wapping stories and vying ror the ~ition of king of the kingdom. Many members dedicate untold hours researching the Dark Ages and arc eager 10 share their knowledge and skills with anyone who 11ill listen. "\Ve recreate the ideals of the Middle Ages, 1101 nOCCSS1rily the realities," said Ted Tedford. also an NIC

\

nursing s1ude111 and 20-year SCA member. "Some people play golf. some people play racquetball, I go out and nx.,·e.ue the Middle Ages. Most of us really wouldn't want 10 go back and liv.: in those days. We're into toilets and ho1 showers."

Tedford said life in the Middle Ages could be very bruial. Most of lhe population was comprised of uneducated serfs, subject to the will of a ruling king, lord or duke. People earned lhe right to live on lhc land by handing over lhe greater ponion of their crops and trade goods for the upkeep of the ta5tle, lhe llord and h~ men.

The lord, in tum, vowed his military service to the king.

Of1en. lhe king's army of knights would loot enemy villages for booty and slaves, Tedford said. "/\ 101 of us are romantics," Tedford said. "If you go out and spend time in lhe medieval environment, doing the counesy stuff like 'my lord' and •my lady' and bowing to royally, you get some funny habits lhat ,pill over into real life. Sometimes I ftnd myself bowing 10 my ho$."

Caldwell said lhal many SCA members make their own suits of armor using authentic materials and tC(hniques whenever possible. l-lo"cver, the use of high,<lcn,ily, lightweight pla5tics are very popular tmd afford the knight greater mancuvcrabitity during n ft&ht, Only one death has been recorded in SCA hil.tory and thnt was when a fighter became overheated in h~ heavy am1orr and had a hcan auack, Caldwell said. A full wi1 of armor can weigh from 30 to 70 pounds.

It is not uncommon for \\Omen to panicipme in tournament ft&hting, Caldwell said.

Other toumamcm events include archery, spear and axe throwing, music. singing and story-telling. And, in keeping with the trngic theme of the Dark Ages, last September local members dedicated a night of song and dance ("The Black Dl.'ath Boogie") to the bubonic plague "During lhe plague years the medic.",al people v.ould have panics because they thought lhal tlie) "ere gomg to

Tedford ndmits there is a ''fair bu of reveling" in 1ourname111 talllf'\ after the sun goes down.

Recently, Wilf Backaus, an SCA cnlhu~iast from C;;unroo,e, /\lbena, in.structed an SCA cla-.~ nl Univcn.ily I ligh School in Spokane. Backaus illustrawd the evolution and ~ of medieval y.eapanry with hL~ own aMnal •. or S11orcb, knives and axes.

Village haven for abused kids

by Ken Allen Stntintl Rt~rttr

The mural painted on the office walls says it a!J. A stream or blue water nows through a spring meadow dolled wi1h trees A white horse. its reflection shimmenng on the water's surface, drinks rrom the stream. A cloud of buucrOics C.'OlS a lone tree near the water's edge.

The water llowing lhrough the room represents new lire. the horse standing in the stream represents power, and the butterflies rq,reseru releasing the past and building a new fu1urc.

This s..-cne adorns the walls of Anne Fox's office in the first of six planned homes known collectively as Children's Village. The village ~rvcs as a haven for victims of child abll5C. Fox is the president of 1hc ,•illagc's board of dirl'Clors, and is an ~ime proressor m Gonaga Univcr..ity.

"Any child who has been abused or is in a 'Jl!VCrl! family l-risis is the child lhat we will service," Fox said.

When children cmcr the home, they are interviewed in Fox'~ orlicc and explained the ~ignilicance of the mural. ·• When they come to lhc village this is a new bcgining," Fox said. "TI1c horse is power.

Whill! the children are here we wrun to give them pow~r. We want to power them with

new skills; with successes. And the butterflies coming ou1 or the tree arc releasing the past."

The village is f'ox's brainchild. In 1983, while she ~ principal or Winton Elementary School, Fox promised two children she would build a haven for victims of child abuse. The children, a brother and sister whose mother physically abused them, were seated in her office. Fox had the difficult iask of 1elllng them the Idaho State Health and Welfare Department had ordered they be placed in foster homes in the Silver Valley.

"I go1 so upset because the kids had no warning-and here they were being ripped out (from their current foster homes}-that I took them in my omce and I told them for the rest or their lives they will know that one person loves 1hern-and that's me," Fox said. "And I will build a children's village for you."

And she did it!

About one yo.2r after making the promise 10 the two children, Bo::ky and Don, Fox was having lunch with some parents from her school when topic of discussion 1umed 1owards what they would like 10 accomplish in life.

"When it (wa.\ my tum) I told them my dream was to build the Children's Village," Fox said. "And two of the mothers sald ·Great-we'll help you."'

Now SC\'Cll years later, one mother. Carol Rankin, serves os village vkc p~idcnl, and

Photo by Ken Allen the 01hcr, Kathy Rau, serves as secretary/treasUrer. Together the three women founded the village.

The current house is the fir..t of si, to be erected on a l().;icrc J\'.ll'CCI nl-ar Han~ Avenue and Ramsey Road. When L'Olllf!k100. each building will ho11c;c a different age grl')Up and ,;ex.

,,id

Now after much campaigning and fund raising, only one building is complete.

However, the hardships Foxand others factd securing funds and materials have no1 discouraged them from continuing 10 work on the project, she said.

The Children's Village was the Nonh Idaho College's carpentry program project for 1988-89. They staned at the beginning or September and rmished in May. Some of the trim and bathroom work wa.m'1 qui1c complete, but Fox said carpentry instructor Walt Carlson continued to work for weeks after the students had finished. "(lnitially) there were nine Students and Walt Carlson.·• Fox said. "And they worked like son-of-a-guns."

Before the carpentry class dona1ed the labor. campus dmrting students had submi1ted design.~ for the floor plan of the building.

"We took t~ir planS and our knowlcdgt and ,,e put together the co11Q!J>t of a h~. t1nd then \\C hired an an:hiloct," Fox said. ,\!!hough the plans and labor were free, the archit~'l.'1°!. reo were very c.X!)l.'1\\i,·c, ~he laid.

A little latex never hurt anyone You can smell it in the air; you can read about it in the paper. It's spring time, and spring leads us to one of our more favorite seasons.

No, i1 's 1101 baseball season. It 's mating season. l 'm not talking the birds and the bees, but you and me. But this column's main focu11 is not on sex, but what is needJohnny Hunt ed. The main focus is condoms. Why don't we use them? What is so scary about the lubricated latex?

One student who would not gi\'C hil> name, but goes by the name "STUD," said, "If you use a condom, you don't get the trur feeling." STUD also said, "\Ve (guys) don't like to ta~e time out to put it on."

Is ,,hat STUD 5aid true? Do the miniature raincoats take a,, ay some 1cal from the moment? Do women find them offensive? Some studies tell us that women actually bu)' more condoms than men. Woml.'n have more to lose than men. Men can't get pregnant; women can. And they're both

looking out for diseases, but we've heard all this before and guys still aren't covering up.

Here are 10 top reasons that are used by guys for neglecting the tiny Trojans: 10. Forgot to put it on the shopping list.

9. I have claustrophobia; I hate being cramped.

8. Can't spring for the 82 cents.

7. I thought they made hair grow on my palm.

6. If I use the one in my wallet, then I won't have one 10 carry around.

5. They don't make them in raspberry.

4. What do condiments ha,·e to do with sex?

3. The instructions are hard 10 understand.

2. Oh, I thought we were just playing Monopoly tonigh1.

I. They don't make them in my size.

Maybe we men should stop making excuses. stop being like STUD and pick one up. If the: ziplock bags are taking awa) some of our zeal then maybe ,,c need to check our oil and make sure it's not because we arc just running low.

Now there are many methods regarding how to buy a condom, but we need 10 think about how 10 choose one. When looking for a quality umbrella one should go about it the same ,, ay one would if he were to chose a construction hat at a construction site.

Both the hard hat and the condom arc needed on the job. They're both used for your safety. One needs to choose a constuction hat that feel~ and fits best-same with a condom. One needs to chose the more durable constuction hat-same with a condom. One is going 10 wear a constuction hat on his head-same with a ..... Well, you understand.

Stand-up impersonator storms campus

Music and lnugh1er mke 1he Stage when the Associated S1udcn1S or North Idaho College presents hs second Comedy Nigh1 of 19CJI. l\l'o comedians from Seattle. David Puhon and Troy TI1irdgill, start off the nigh1 wi1h their comedic 1alcn1s and arc followed by comic impressionis1 Kier for 1hc fca1ure prcscma1ion April 12 ai 8 p.m. in Boswell Hall Audi1orium.

According 10 ASNLC activities director Don Atha, Kier ''does everything. He can sing country/ western exaaly like Willie Nelson or he can sing songs exactly like Prince or anybody," Alha said. "I don't knoll' how he does it. but he has a pretty good voice."

Kier o~ pcrfonncd a1 a Nic's Nooner at NJC, bu1 Atha said he didn't think Iha! was a good enough setting for Kier bcx:ause he's more comedy oricmcd and musically 13lented. ~ has opened for many counay.music SlaJ'S, including Roy Orbison before he died.

"Kier should pu1 on a real good show," Atha said. Kier is aro lilted on !he National Activities for Collcgcs Association's performance chan.

"He has won bes! NACA performer before so he is really good," Atha said.

111.e other two performers ASNIC found lhrough Seaule Comedy West, a Seat1le production agency 1hat represents corned ~ and books gigs for them all o,'C r 1he Northwest.

Comedian Fulton said there are two groups or comedians, "Those who go on slll8e and try 10 be runny and those who arc naturally fuMy whether lhcy'rc on stage or nol." Fulton places himself in the scoond category, although it is arguable tha1 he would feel more a1 home in a third auegory-"being a oomcdian in nc:td of in- â&#x20AC;˘ tensive psychiatric care, " Fullon added.

Thirdgjll, a $tand-up comedian and irnpressionis1, said he "never wanted to do anylhing else" bu1 make a carttr of slllndup comedy. Thirdgill once suued a1 the finals of a comedy-talent sean:h that he wanted to see a "Cosby Show" where ClifT Huxtable comes home drunk and the house is a mess. That statement pul hi5 audienoe into hysterics.

ASNIC will host one more Comedy Nigh1 a1 the end of April featuring Scott Jones. He was rccommended by other colleges and is rcprese111ed by NACA. "He is suppose 10 be prcny good." Atha said. "Bui I lhink this one (the April 12

Comedy Night) will aauaDy be the best ooe

in awhile," Atha said. He said because of the three differcm performm and Kicr's musical abilitiy, it could be the best one ASNIC has had th.is year.

Atha said this Comedy N"rght will probably las! IWO hours.

"Somelimes they arc a 6nle shorter but

I k:aow Kier .,.ill probably talce an hour." or more, Atha said.

CJcneraJ admim>n is $4 for adults, $3 for senior citimis and S2 for studenlS. " If you haven't been 10 one ya. this should be the ont," Atha said. "It's going to be the best one an year."

BIGGEST WINNER-Ryan Jacobsen leaps after hearing he won a trip to San Francisco.

Casino action in five steps

by Kevin Brown Assistant Editor

Casino Nigh1.

Victory screruns, alternating with groans of defeat and loss, punctuated the throbbing background music. The aisles between gaming tables were choked with players and dealers and waitresses, while U1c noor was coated wiU1 popcorn and play money. The big winners dominmed the games and the mffie table; the big losers hurled themselves over tl1c railing outside the Financial Aid Oflicc and crashed 10 the noor of the Student Union Building atrium. The photographer on lhc scene, however, didn't manage 10 get any action shots of tl1ose pathetic suicidal losers.

Not to say that Casino Night had no action. The foUowing arc noteworthy: First, the liquid refreshment, served in small plastic cups, which were apparently swiped from Holiday Inn hotel rooms. My associate, the photographer, ordered a psuedo-alcoholic "Sudden Death," which tasted to me like a liquiiied salad. I requested a "Margarita," which tasted like

carbonated rurpentine, and a min1-navored "Cold Cash," which tasted like mintflavored carbonated turpentine. This a.U means that the drinks were in fact authentic-tasting.

Second, the waitresses, who spent moM of tJ1eir time waiting for the bartenders 10 pn.>pare tJ1e drinks, wore identical red elastic bands around biceps, wrists, ankles, or even-prepare LO be alarmed- Lhighs. I'm not entirely sure what the red bands were for.

Third, some peor guy ended up with cake on his face. He won tJ1e cake ar the hourly raffie. canied it a few yards, then dropped it face-0own on lhe grimy floor.

As if that were 1101 unfonunate enough, he retrieved it and proffered it to somebody else. 111.is person evidently thought it would be a supreme practical joke LO smear the cake a.U over the peor guy's face. Enough

said.

Fourth, the guy who won the TV-I hear he bought about fifty raffle ticketswon an envelope containing something only a couple turns later. That scum. I bought one ticket and chanted, ''lllis is t:he one, this is the one that's gonna win the TV." I didn't win anything. This illustrates that life is indeed unfair.

Ftfth, near the end of the alotted time, cverybody-----ei'el)'bod).~was popping these balloons that were laying aJl over the place.

So I have to get into t:he act, right? I procure a balloon, a blue one to be precise, and I slowly sque.ized it until outside pressure overwhelmed inside prcs.5Urc, and

the balloon exploded violently. The revelers nearby took thL, as wme kind of barbaric act. a heinous and obscene crime, and favored me with a look that made me feel like I should go get myself fumigated. Go figure.

I no doubt missed 98.47 percent of the GAMBLING MAN-Matt Gray (right) other noteworthy events and activities, but tries his luck at a c raps table as Don hey, I was busy getting buzzed on a conl\lha watches. coction called "Skip & Go Naked."

COFFEE grmder COSMIC MOMENTS WITH JIM MORRISON ...

by Phoenix Ahlqulsl

Morrison's life closed 'Doors'

Flashing, and more flashing. This movie was chock full of flashing. It seemed that in every other scene I was covering my eyes-aot in fear. but to stop the incessant flashing from hurting my eyes.

Director/produrer/ writer Oliver Stone bas done it once again; he's made a gmit movie with ~ t actors, great cinematography and great length, which aU make me fecl like I didn't waste my money, which is ofien the case.

The movie is "The Doors." Val Kilmer actS out the life of the great musician Jim Monison, a man wbo led a group of musicians into stardom and himself into an intoxicated stupor while the people in bis life cry, in ,-ain, to save him. Meg Ryan plays his \\ife, who coatinues to put up with his

sleeping with other women and his multiple drug addictions.

One of the major problems with this flick is the faa tha! they kept trying to show Morrison's penis.

Why'? It seems to me that che movie would have had a lot more value Lo it if Val had either just whipped it out and shown the world.

New league far cry from pro football he not-so-long awaited sequel to the colossal flop of the I980's spor1ing world bas arrived, and it is definitely not a box-office smash.

"USFL II: The World League of American Football" can now be seen on a television near you. There's a chance you may even enjoy it.

That is, if you don't have anything more interesting 10 do, like starting up a carpel fuzz collection, or dying your pets in unusual colors. lo all fairness to the WLAF, they are playing professional football. The players are getting paid to properly pump up, suit up and pursue the pigskin. That makes it professional; right?

And they've got gimmicks!

Hclmet-Camtradcmarked?- is mounted in the helmets of various players, and, for 1he price of television, you can see whatever is happening directly in front of that particular player's helmet/ head. It's one of the league's biggest crowd pleasers.

T

Mike Saunders

Didn't David Lcuerman pioneer this technology with the much maligned, often misunderstood, but nei•er mundane Late-Night Monkey-Cam? What may be the worst pan of the WLAF experience is that the European teams are taking it to the American teams-for whom 1he league was named- on a regular basis. After three games, the Barcelona Dragons and the London Monarchs-who?- remain the league's only undefeated reams.

The WLAF, however, is no, wi1hou1 its certain semi-at1rac1ive nuances. The chance to see your hometown hero who almost made it in the NFL is certainly one of those. The fact that these men arc involved in contests that may not be discernable, to the untrained eye, from actual professional football would have to be another.

The Europeans, famous for their untrained eyes, must be having a jollygood time with the whole lot.

The biggest downfall of these nedgling football follies may be that they just so happen 10 coincide with another spectator sport, known as the Major League of American Baseball.

It could be bad luck.

It may be bad timing.

CHRIS GILBERT

G THEANGLES NIC track star leads the way

by Brian

W•••r

Sentinel Rq,ortu

hris Gilbert can mtainly attest to learning by observing-and then doing th.e task.

In his freshman year at Wasilla High School in Wasilla, Alaska, Gilbert, an NIC aos.s country and track runner, finished 13th at the stale 4-A (large class) aoss country championships.

More importantly for lhe accounting major was that his team boasted the state champion, Gordon Birdsall (a former NIC runner) thal year.

"I got to i..11teh what It was like to be at that level," the sophomore said. "(Coach Dan Giffen) said, 'You have got the same talent as he (Birdsall) did when he was a freshman."'

It was an understalemenl.. Gilbert won the state aos.s country Iii.le his sophomore, junior and senior years. He became the first runner in Alaska to Y..in three straight state titles and only th.e 39th in tl1e nntion, said Giffen, Lhe running coach and physical education department head ai Wnsilln.

"After that mcc, Chris thought, 'I can win this next year,'" Giffen~. " My freshman ycur, I star1ed OU! as No. 7 (runner) on our team,'· Gilbert said. "I moved up and the last 1wo meets of the year, I was No. 2. The next summer, I made a big jump."

Gilbert's success carried o,-er to his junior year, perhaps his moSt su=sful.

Along with the cross country title, he pk1CIXI second in the 800-metcr run at the sLRte track meet and won lhe mile and two-mile.

"That was basically a good day," Gilbert said laughing.

During spring or his senior year, the days weren't as good. Pressures at home and within the community and a mo1orcyclc accident hampered Gilbert from preparing for the state track mec1.

"My ool)· practicf was showing up for the day of regio~ and not running again until two days before state,'' Gilbert said. "A chiropractor kept me walking basically because l'd go in all kinked up. He'd work me over and I'd be able to walk out and run one moo. My body would then tighten up again."

Despite the hardships, Gilbert plaaxl second in the 1wo-mile, ending a sucrssful high ~hool career. His personal be.)is or 4:21 in the mile, 9:32 I\\O-mile, I:58

800-meters and 14:58 ~-mile~at1.Clltion from Fresno State, Washington, Montana, Kansas, Georgia and several NA.IA schools.

Similar to when he disa>ven:d his capabilities, Gilbert looked to Birdsall and took into considcralioo the suro:ss ,. he had at NIC. Gilbert again followed his footsteps.

"I got reau.ited here mostly by Rob (former coach Conner),'' Gibert said. "Gordon came here and he liked it a lot. I'd get the chance (at a junior college) to build my ability and still be earning All-American."

With his ability, Gilbert has al.lo built several NlC records.

He holds the indoor J<XX>.meter record (8:3 1), outdoor 10,<XX>-meter (30:35) and the ouldoor 5,<XX>-meter (14:35). He is second all-time in the indoor mile (4: 17) and indoor I,SOO-metcr (4:02). In aoss country, he earned All-American by placing 13th al nationals last season and sixth th is season.

"Chris had quite a few offers," Giffen said. "North Idaho has good national exposure and it runs against rour7 schools. I think it's (choosing NIC) the bes! thing we could've done.''

Notice the word we. Gilbert, a member of Phi Theta Kappa (honor society), claims Giffen has bren instrumental in his running success.

"His philosophy wns, in the summer, if you feel like running, go running. If you don't, don't run. Just rcmcmbcr, you can't Ill.kc too many days olT in a row," he said. " He was real supportive-good ma: or bad race."

"Quis and I got to be real dose," GilTcn said.

"He got to be just like my son. lt'U be run io follow him. I miss him."

Gilbert's racing times arc results of his anitude about running. He said he usually isn't happy with his outings because there is always room for improv=t. ''When 1 rcc1 good is those rare ma:s-no matlll hO\\ hard you pu,h your<,elf, your body do.:s the feeling it." he said. ' 'Those arc

"I enjoy of letting your guts hang out.''

very rar and few bet,.,een. I enjoy that feeling of lenin.g your guts hang out."

His feelings extend to his ultimate goal or malting the Olympioi. Is it obtainable?

"I'd 5ll) yes, as long as my legs can handle that rypc or training. There'\ a1 least a chance.."

Baseball team near .500 mark

Coach Jack Bloxom feels the NIC baseball learn could be I 7-4-if it hi1 Lhe ball like i1 's capable of.

He also feels things could be worse if the 1cam's pitching was wha1 he lhoughl i1 would be.

Back to reality. 1l1e Cardinals have been hampered by 1he worse or Lhc 1wo worlds.

NIC is 10-t I overall and 1-2 in the SWAC North heading in10 Friday's I p.m. home doubleheader with conference foe Ricks.

NIC plays Ricks again Saturday for a nine-

inning g;ime before hosting Yal.ima Sunday for a 1wi11 bill. " I didn'1 Lhink we'd be under .320 (bailing) as a team and have any of the s1arters under .300," Bloxom said. " Had we scored live runs (In some of the losses), Lha1 would give us three or four losses. 11's Lhe same concern we had 18 games ago."

NIC, which has lost six of its games by one or two runs, is hitting .234 as a team.

Only Lhree players are hilling above .300.

Sophomore first baseman Todd Hubka leads the team al JITT. Freshman oulfiekler Aaron Johnson is a1 .305 and sophomore Shane

Tracksters near qualifying marks, travel to Eugene this weekend

by Kiley Peterson

Assistant Editor

If running was a religion then Christy Davids would be a guru.

Davids, Nonh Idaho College's head track coach, has conjured a dedicated following of distanee runners. In fact, NIC could potentially send six men and three women to NJCAA National Championships in Odessa Te.= this year.

Chris Gilbert, David Tejedor, and Maria Ridley have already qualified for nationals, and they are followed by a host of younger athletes eager to run a qualifying time.

Freshman Mark Freel was one of the many NIC athletes who just missed qualifying standards at the Western Wa.shingt0n Open, April 6.

Freel finished just I wo-tenths of a second short of a qualifying time in the 400m dash.

ANGLES from p./5 - - - Davids saJc1 runners or Gilbert's type make coaching easier.

"Most people at hl<i caliber, you don't have 10 worry much about at a meet," Davids said. "He works hard and maybe at limes 100 much. He's made the righl decisions."

Despite his seriousness abouc running, Gilbert leaves plcncy room for comics in his life. He coUccts Donald Duck items as a hobby. A catoo on his ankle, pewter (jgurincs, n bubble pipe, shirts, posters, hats and toe biters are a few pieces he has. He even ran Bloomsday in his Donald Duck coscumc last year. " l.n.st )car, it wus jUS1 playing around (al Bloornsday). h was the day nflcr regionals.

For his efforts, Davids tagged him as the "outstanding performer" of the day.

Senior Chris Gilbert also just missed qualifying in the 1500m with a time of 3.53.9.

Qualifying time is 3.53.64.

Davids said that Gilbert is a great distance runner, but he does not always exert all his energy during the race.

"He has the spoed and stamina, but to qualify he needs to start running against the clock and not for position," said Davids.

Davids said that many of the ath.letes near misses of qualifying times was due to this letdown.

Kelly Swinney could not quite overcome a calf injury and tough week of training and finished just four seconds from qualifying in the 5000m.

The tracksters will be heading to Eugene, Oregon this ,vrekend to compete in the Eugene Mini Meet. l.ike to have my office and home just Donald everywhere."

Gilbert said he hasn'c pinpointed his college choice after he graduatcS from NIC in May. He's considered Washington, Montana, Fresno State and a few others, but a breath angled 10 Portland where Conner is now coaching. " Rob and I became good friends last year.

Tiiac's already been established, and I don'c have to worry about it."

For now, Gilbert is concentrating on winning the 10,(XXl-meter run at nationals in Odessa, Texas, May 16-18. It was in thac even! he (jnished sixth lase season on 1.hc same crack after going in with U1e sccondbesl time nationally. " I had a cough time adjusting 10 96-<lcgrcc weacher."

At pm;cnt. the college has no official policy for dealing witl1 repons of rape, Lindsay said.

Howl:'Cf, in recent cases the infomiation has been 1umed over 10 him and he has in,-estigated, Lindsay said he is new ar this and has no fom1al training in evaluating an alleged rape.

Lind.say addiuonaUy said that, In his four )"ell'S as dean, only iwo cases have been r(Jl()!tcd to him, bolh of which were this year.

In one case, the young man admilled his pan in an incident. Lindsay e.,pelled him from the donn. In the other case enough evidence was not a,'ailable to make a conclusion.

According to Oakwright, there couldn't have been a thorough investigation if a man interviC\1ed lite victim. He said women don't speak as OJ)l'nly to a male interviewer as they will to a woman.

Also, a male investigator may dctenninc the incident to have been merely sexual harassmcm, when the victim has concidered it to hi!,-c been an auemp1ed rape, OakwrigJu said.

Last week, the Sena1e Judiciary Committee reported 1ha1 more women were raped in lhc United States in 1990 than in any year in history.

VETERANS REJ:lJRN TO BE 'SHELVED AND FORGOTTEN'

by Darrel BHhner Srn1mrl Rrpontr

s yellow ribbons line the strccts or America and people rum ou1 by the thousands 10 welcome back their Desert Sionn heroes, one cili7,en has mixed emotions about 1he reception the warriors arc recciving and the people wllo are giving it to them.

"I wish this country was overrun by a foreign Power so that lhe individual righis of every American ciliun was taken from him," the individual said.

Strong words? Well, before passing any judgment, consider 1he source.

The words come from a man whose brother was listed as "missing in action" during lhe Vietnam War and wh06C own lire is being taken from him, quite li1emlly, piece by pio:I: and µ\rt by pan because of his role in the same "con, nict."

In 1971, Sonny Klnscy, now a Nonh Idaho College law major and \riemam era veteran, helped mix Agent Orange in FuJi, Japan. Kinsey comcnds lha1 he was assured at 1hat time by the miliiary that the dioxin mixture was hannlcss.

However, five days aner being exposed to Agent Orange, Kinsey wcm into respiratory arrest. Five months nner being exposed to Agent Orange he developed ~IS in his mouth and his lCCth rell OU!.

Today Kinsey suffers from seven ~ he believes resu lted from his e.~posure 10 Agcnl Orange, including a fonn or cruiccr that has forced him to have one leg ampu1a1cd and has lcn him 1vith a lire expectancy or ~ than live years. c1, 20 years after being l'.Xposed, he still hasn't received a "'Ord or thanks rrom 1he government or the people ~po~ble ror his being !here.

Although his wire Josi one set or t1vins in h<'r finh month of pregnancy and all four of his chlldn.,1 ooncci\~-d ancr hb exposure 10 Agent Orange ha1e binh defcctS, Kinsey said 1hc govemmcni refuses 10 admu 1ha1 ii could have bet.'ll caused by Ag£J11 Orange. In faa, 1he goiffllntml refuses 10 e\'a'l acknowkdgc that !here 1v.i.s soch a chemical mixing site in Fuji. Japan.

"While they (the military) will spccify where I was, they never specify wha1 I was doing ih<'rc," Kinsey said.

So now Kinsey m~1 prove-at his own e.qicnse-tha1 he "as in Fuji, Japan, and tha1 he did come in contact with Agent Orange thCTC. "They kcp1 telling me tha1 I had Lo fmd people from my baualion. Well I found people from my battalion and !hat cost me a lo1 of money-money that I couldn't afford. Now they 1ell me lhat I've got 10 fuld a govemrncntal agency 1ha1 will prove that Agent Orange was in Fuji.

Japan," Kinsey said. "You know how hard lha1's going lo be? lm~blc!"

When Kinsey did locate manbas of his battalion, he found that many of them wm: in no better coodition than he and some wm: worse.

PROTEST FOR PEACE - NIC student Sonny Kinsey protests the Gulf War In front of lhe military recruiting center In Coeur d'Alene.

"I verilied 1vi1h rriembcrs of my baualion !hat Agent Orange was there (m Fuji) and some of them have Lhe same problems 1hat I have. In fact, I found that two of Lhe guys ha1-e died," he said.

"Agenl Orange is an cmbarrMsment 10th<' govmunenl.

They sprayoo !heir own guys and they knew i1. Now )'OU 've go< guys- dying everywhere," Kinsey said. "We had a nieer.ing las! week wilh the Kootenai Cooney V,emam Veterans of America. Eight men showed up. Four of the eight men have caocer. Whal does that tcU you?''

Kinsey said he wishes lhe country would be overrun by a foreign power so tluu Americans would learn lo appreciate Lhe freedoms !hey now take for granted.

"What has happened is Iha! we've laken freedom for granted and lhe veterans who have exhausted themselves and who made the sacrifio:s for this country are put behind the scenes aft.et they are used and jUSI forgotten," Kinsey said. ' 'Now wc have 10 fight for the bc:nefiJS and lhe medical anention wc were promised jUSI as we were put overseas t0 fight for the righis of aD the American people.

[B

coplc have forgoncn whal it's like 10 sacrifice for froxlom," he said. ''Th.cy lei other people do it for lhem. And when it's done and !heir freedom is won, lhen the people who fought for the freedom are shelved and forgotten.

"I feel that ir we wm: ovcnun then all Americnns would have to light for their froxlom, learn what it's Uke 10 be impoveri~hcd, have their righlS lllken awuy, be degraded into poveny and be dying \\iLh ~knesscs a.\Wcia1ed wilh fighting battles,'' Kinsey $8id. " I teach my children that !he only time tht.')' need 10 light is when someone auacks !his counuy-Lhen you light," he said. "Othenvisc don't join the miliuiry. Don't be a fool."

Kinsey said he has mixed emotions obou1 the vt:1cm11.S returning from the Middle l:ast.

"I fed that they gol what they deserved-they ~ol a big welcome home. But a1 tl1e same tin1c it hum because when I came home I go1spi1 on and called a baby killer.

1'U tell you right now thnl ii huris the Vielllam vc1emn.

Al the S.'UllC time thni tl1ey arc wck:omutg the Descn Stomt ve1em11s. ii seems 10 me Iha! !hey could 1um around and say, 'Welcome home Vietnam ve1erans," he said. "Twenty years is o lon_g time. bu! i1's better late 1han never. And rig)u now it's been never. You know, we (Vietnam veterans) aury a lot of scars with us." nd 1t may be a long lime before those c;cars nre given an OPPonunity to heal.

"The only way you arc going 10 get anything about veterans changed IS to get all the people together on it. Right now people would m1hcr have Lhc pol.hole in from of !heir houso fixed than t0 help the \eteran who had his leg blown off or chopped off becau.se or cancer," Kinsey said.

"The only way you arc going to get anything abour ,eterans changed is tO get all the people 1ogelhtr on ii.

Righi now people would ralhcr ha1e the pothole m front of their houses fixed than to help the veteran who had his leg blown off or chopped off because of cancer."

Kinsey said.

Nor docs he feel this story will help the cause of disabled veterans.

"No mauer whaJ a ptTSOn reads in (1he Sent.incl) or in the Coeur d'Alene Press or Spokesman-Review, two days afterward he'll forget all about ii. Hc'U go on with his life, but the person the stOry is about sull has the same problem-and usually goes to his grave with ii. AD muse he defended the freulom or this country-<>r at least !hat's what he thought he was doing."
