Despite the blistering cold and wind, about 40 people gathered in Friendship Square Saturday in honor of World AIDS Day.
Speakers at the candlelight vigil, sponsored by the Health and Welfare AIDS Regional Planning Council, told the crowd about prevention and understanding.
Father Mark Schumacher from St. Augustine's Catholic Center opened with a prayer followed by Rebecca Rod and Terri Grzebieliski's a cappella singing. The audience sang along while warming themselves with coffee donated by Starbucks.
The event ended in prayer led by the Rev. Joan Montagnes of the Unitarian-Universalist Church of the Palouse.

All University of Idaho students must have health insurance starting Fall 2002, UI announced last week.
For the nearly 25 percent of students who do not have insurance already, that could mean a fee increase of nearly $300 a semester to buy insurance from the university. If students already have health insurance, through their parents or otherwise, the changes will not affect their pocketbooks.
"We're changing the way we conduct business in the health arena," said Hal Godwin, UI vice president for Student Affairs.
This requirement is the result of a two-year process that included a hired consultant, surveys and various committees that looked at changing health care on campus.
Health care at the University of Idaho has gotten a bad reputation in the past, but according to ASUI president Leah Clark-Thomas, requiring all students to have health insurance by Fall 2002 might give Student Health a facelift.

The University of Idaho Women's Center is hosting a rotating exhibit featuring a different artist each month. This month, as the last Women's Center project for 2001, a photography exhibition is scheduled. The 78-year-old Moscow artist Dorothy Gullicksen will exhibit her photography. A part of the program "Meet the Artist," the exhibition is organized in collaboration with the Women's Caucus for Arts: Moscow Chapter.
The new exhibit features the photography of Gullicksen, who is the most senior member of the Moscow Women's Caucus of Art. Gullicksen, also known as DAC, will exhibit color photographs, which she explains as very eager, eclectic and welcoming to anything that catches her eye or intrigues her.

The University of Idaho men's basketball team lost to in-state rival Boise State University for the second time this year Saturday night at Cowan Spectrum, but it was the way they lost that will stay in the minds of Idaho players and fans for a long time.
The BSU Broncos (2-3) obliterated the Vandals 70-44, outscoring them by 24 and outshooting them .739 to .292 in the second half. UI head coach Leonard Perry was very disappointed with his team's effort.
"It's the worst loss I've ever been associated with in a home game as an assistant, player or coach," Perry said.
UI's woes did not end with poor shooting. The Vandals were out-rebounded 34-17 in the total rebounds category, and 12-6 in offensive rebounds.
