Morgantown forum previews House of Delegates candidates

BY DOUGLAS SOULE ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR Seven of the 10 West Virginia House of Delegates candidates vying for representation of the 51st District spoke at a town hall on Thursday.

The Thursday forum, hosted by Mountaineers for Progress and the League of Women Voters of WV, previewed the ideas of five Democratic candidates and two Republican candidates.

The questions given to the candidates, asked my a MfP representative, ranged from PEIA funding to the legalization of medical and recreational marijuana.

All five Democratic candidates said they supported legalization of both kinds of marijuana.

Williams cited the revenue the legalization of recreational marijuana has given other states.

In 2017, recreational marijuana raised $247,368,473 for Colorado, according to the state’s Department of Revenue. Recreational use has now been allowed in Colorado for several years.

Williams also encouraged people to have an honest conversation about it.

“Alcohol, in my view, is 10 times worse than marijuana,” said Delegate John Williams, a Democrat. “I’ve never seen people who were high start a fight. They eat cheetos and watch television.”

Barbara Evans Fleischauer, a Democrat, said she was open to the idea of recreational legalization, but wanted to make sure the medical marijuana regulations worked first.

Fleischauer said the regulations were not working, since the House did not pass a bill in the 2018 legislative session that would have made fixes to the medical marijuana bill passed during

the 2017 legislative session.

Republican candidate Roger Shuttlesworth said he supported medical marijuana, but not recreational.

“I lived through the ’60s and ’70s, and I’ve seen some of the effects of marijuana,” Shuttlesworth said.

Delegate Cindy Frich, a Republican who said she did not support recreational marijuana, voted against the 2017 bill that legalized some forms of medical marijuana by the summer of 2019.

“Employers in this state are having a hard enough time finding employees who can pass a drug test,” Frich said. “People in my life who are heroin addicts started on marijuana.”

She said she would support Cannabidiol, or CBD. On PEIA, multiple ways to fund the health plan for state employees were discussed at the meeting.

Evan Hansen, a Democratic candidate, suggested

Republican U.S. Senate candidate urges WVU students to take action

BY KAYLA GAGNON STAFF WRITER A Republican U.S. Senate candidate came to WVU on Saturday to urge students to get involved in the upcoming election.

“If I can impact you guys and you impact other people, together we can make a change in our state,” said Tom Willis, who seeks to win the May 8 Republican primary election.

This town hall comes weeks before the contested Republican primary election, with six candidates vying for the chance to represent the GOP in the general election.

“It’s very refreshing, and I think that it’s incredibly important for voter education,” said Riley Keaton, chairman of the WVU College Republicans. “You have the opportunity to escape the 2018-style of politics where you’re on constantly on edge with dealing with Twitter mobs.”

In a town hall hosted by WVU College Republicans, Willis spoke to a crowd of 30 in the Mountainlair.

Willis shared his experiences as a business owner and a Green Beret veteran, and how they relate to his capabilities in running for office.

“West Virginia is at a point where it needs leadership.

We need to change the cul-

“Employers in this state are having a hard enough time finding employees who can pass a drug test.”

- Cindy Frich, Republican Delegate increasing the severance tax on natural gas and legalizing marijuana.

“I think all options need to be on the table,” Hansen said.

About the task force created by Governor Jim Justice to find funding for PEIA, Hansen said, “If they come up with good ideas, we need to make sure the legislature implements them, if they don’t come up with good ideas, we need to take further action to solve this problem.”

Delegate Rodney Pyles, a Democrat, said that an increase in the tobacco tax, the sugary drink tax and the sales tax would be a good revenue source for PEIA. Shuttlesworth, a Republican, said that the state needs

to come up with a “good and equitable way” to address the problem.

“We need money, and we need fairness for the employees who work for the state of West Virginia,” Shuttlesworth said.

Only five candidates from each party will move on to the general election, which means one of the six Democratic candidates for the 51st District will be voted out, and all four of the Republican candidates will proceed.

Early voting for the 2018 primary election begins on April 25, lasting till May 5.

Primary election day is May 8.

Jordan Covelli, a junior accounting student and member of the WVU Republicans, said it was nice to have a personal conversation with the candidate.

“It was an intimate discussion and we got to ask some questions and learn more about [Willis],” Covelli said.

Willis called for several changes the federal govern-

ment needed to make to help the economy, and cited Tennessee’s recent success in free market reforms.

He called for: •Lower taxes •Cutting through red tape that messes with bus owners •Keep government costs as low as possible •Regulatory stability “Do these things [and] businesses will come, and the state will prosper,” Willis said.

WVU fraternity has Melons of Fun Lambda Chi Aplha hosts annual Watermelon Bust to raise money for Feeding America

BY JULIA HILLMAN ASSISTANT CULTURE EDITOR West Virginia University’s chapter of Lambda Chi Alpha held its annual Watermelon Bust on April 21.

Teams of eight from different Greek organizations participated in events throughout the afternoon. The event began with teams sending two players to toss a watermelon back and forth, which resulted in some wet players as the watermelons burst when they hit the ground one by one.

The teams then moved on to the three-legged race, in which they hopped and hobbled while tied together holding a watermelon. This lead

to many smiles and cheers from all in attendance.

The teams then sent four people to the watermelon eating contest. Girls from each sorority ate their hearts out to try to win the event.

The day ended with the watermelon toss, which tested each participant’s strength and precision as they tried to throw watermelons into trash cans.

Those participating were highly competitive, yet they still had a great time. In the end, it was Alpha Zi Delta that took first place for the competition.

Teams were asked to bring canned goods to help support the fraternity’s philanthropy Feeding America.

Feeding America is the nation’s largest domestic hun-

ger-relief organization.

For every dollar a person donates, they are able to provide 10 meals to those in need.

Everyone in attendance had smiles on their face and there were even some four legged friends cheering on those playing in the games.

This year’s watermelons were generously donated

by Kroger.

“They seemed to have a really good turn out this year.

Everyone had a great time and want to come back and do it again next year,” said Skylar Upton, a sister of Alpha Omicron Pi. Those interested in donating to Feeding America can do so on their website https://secure.feedingamerica.org.

Book Review: “Only Child” by Rhiannon Navin

BY JORDYN JOHNSON CULTURE EDITOR “The thing I later remembered the most about the day the gunman come was my teacher Miss Russell’s breath.”

First-grader Zach Taylor has just came in from recess when a gunman enters his elementary school and begins shooting.

His teacher, Miss Russell, stuffs them in the small coat closet in the classroom, and Zach describes in great detail what he hears and smells.

His extreme detail truly makes the reader feel like they’re huddled right next to Zach as he fears for his life with his teacher and classmates. The shooting ends and the kids are ushered out of the school by policemen, and Zach and his classmates see the carnage that took place right outside their

classroom door.

Waiting for his parents at a nearby church with the rest of the unharmed children, Zach reflects on what just happened, and again, he spares no detail when it comes to what he saw.

Finally, his mother arrives and is ecstatic that he is fine; however, Zach forgot all about

his brother, Andy, and he is nowhere to be found.

The reader quickly assumes the worst and finds out in the next few chapters that Andy was one of the children killed in the shooting. This begins a journey for Zach as he tries to understand the different ways his parents are coping with the loss

of their son.

Zach’s mother’s grief is profound, and for many chapters she merely exists, and Zach desperately wishes to have his mom back. However, after she learns that the shooter was the son of the beloved school security guard, Charlie, her sadness turns to rage and a quest for revenge.

Zach’s father tries his best to work with his wife through her grief, but it leads to them fighting constantly, which Zach calls “thunderstorms”.

To cope with all the fighting in the house, Zach retreats to his “secret hideout” in Andy’s closet where he reads Mary Pope Osborne’s “Magic Tree House” series outloud so that Andy can hear them, too.

Throughout the entire novel, your heart breaks for Zach, and you wish that you could take all

of his pain away.

Navin does a fantastic job of portraying the emotions that Zach feels throughout the entire book, and it leaves you sobbing time after time. Zach’s tenacity to heal the wounds left by Andy’s murder does not stop until the very last page, where he finally has his parents back again.

It is very hard to understand a tragedy like a school shooting, but anyone who has experienced the grief of losing a loved one can understand the pain felt throughout the book.

“Only Child” was Navin’s first novel, and it does not disappoint. You will not be able to put this book down until you’ve read every word.

OPINION

Starbucks incident part of a larger problem of racial prejudice

BY KAMERON DUNCAN OPINION EDITOR On April 12, two men were arrested at a Philadelphia Starbucks. The two men, both of whom happened to be African-American, arrived early for a business meeting with a friend. Shortly thereafter, the men were met by police, promptly arrested and taken away in handcuffs. It was later revealed that the store’s manager called the police.

A Twitter user filmed a video of the incident, and that video has since gone viral, being viewed over 11 million times.

Outrage over the incident prompted Starbucks to take action on a national level, as they announced earlier this week that they would close 8,000 stores on May 29 for what it calls “racial-bias education.”

The decision to educate employees by Starbucks is a noble one, but it also unfortunately speaks to a larger problem. If there were less of an existing bias against certain individuals, there would be no need for this kind of action. Had the manager of this particular Starbucks not had preconceived notions about the two men who entered the store, this situation never would have happened.

Sadly this situation and similar accounts are all too familiar. There have been several accounts of individuals of color being questioned, accosted and in some cases even attacked for fairly benign actions.

According to NPR, on April 15th a 14-year-old African American boy was shot at after he asked a stranger for directions to his school. This incident occurred in Rochester

Hills, Mich., a suburb of Detroit. A similar situation occurred a few years ago in the same state when a white man shot and killed a 19-yearold black woman after she knocked on his door following a car accident.

There are other incidents all across the country that could be listed, but there is a common thread within these cases that cannot be ignored.

The fact of the matter is that, in many situations, people of color are not afforded the benefit of the doubt, even when they’ve done nothing wrong.

It’s evident that there are two schools of thought in this country when it comes to the matters of racism and prejudice, and the numbers seem to suggest that.

In a 2017 Quinnipiac University poll, 59 percent of white individuals reported that they say prejudice against minorities as “somewhat or less serious”, compared to 66 percent of non-white individuals saying that the prejudice was “very serious.”

In that same poll, 88 percent of black individuals questioned believed that the country needs to keep making strides towards racial equality while only 53 percent of white individuals felt the same way.

A 2016 poll done by the Pew Research Center via CNN saw stark contrasts in how black and white individuals answered questions about race.

In that poll, 22 percent of white people felt that black people

were treated unfairly in the workplace, while 64 percent of black people felt that they were treated unfairly.

For every instance the poll asked of unfair treatment (dealing with police, applying for loans, in stores or restaurants, courts or voting), there was at least an 18 percent gap between black and white individuals, with white people having a lesser percentage in every single case.

The findings of these studies and others like them show that there is still a great deal of work to be done when it comes to matters of race in this country. It’s going to be difficult for people to come together and see common issues when they can’t even agree on how they’re being treated.

There’s no way to know if this divide is due to legitimate differences in experience or not, but it does provide some sort of insight on how different

We all know that there is nothing criminal about waiting for a friend in a restaurant or asking for directions. In fact, it’s very likely that we’ve done these exact actions without even considering that we may be arrested or even shot and

killed for it.

But as these cases continue to happen, it means that people of color do need to take that extra moment to wonder if they truly have the right to take that action. It could very literally mean the difference between life or death, or incarceration or freedom.

Ways to celebrate Earth Day everyday

Earth Day was yesterday and hopefully everyone was able to get out and do something for our planet. Whether or not you did, you can still celebrate earth day the other 364 days of the year in many small and easy ways.

1. Conserve electricity and water You hear these all the time, but they really make a difference. Make sure appliances are unplugged when not in use, turn off lights when leaving a room and turn off the water while brushing your teeth. If you have the means, try to update your appliances with Energy Star appliances and low flow options.

2.Eat sustainable foods You can still love eating meat and help the planet, but avoid processed food and food with unnecessary packaging. Try to buy local and know where

your food comes from. Maybe choose eggs and meat raised in more sustainable and less intensive ways. If you want, you can reduce your consumption of red meat, or choose products like burgers with a mushroom beef combination that reduce the use of beef.

3. Recycle and compost Recycling is the easiest thing to do to help the planet. Just toss recyclables in the recycling bin.

Composting is also fairly easy if you have the space. Composting is simply collecting some of your food waste to create a soil conditioner for your garden.

There is a lot of information online on what is compostable and not compostable.

4. Ditch the plastic straw When you get a drink at a restaurant it’s so easy to grab a plastic straw and not think about its impacts. The plastic straw you use for 10 minutes will be around

According to 5gyres.org, every single day more than 500 million plastic straws are used. Because straws are so small, it is hard to recycle them, and they often end up in the ocean, harming animals like sea turtles. Choose not to use a straw, or carry around bamboo or a reusable metal straw.

5. Invest in a reusable water bottle Stop using single-use plastic water bottles everyday. Instead, you can invest in stylish, unique and useful reusable water bottles. There are so many options of water bottles, from ones that insulate for more than 24 hours to ones to match your Mountaineer school spirit.

6. Spend time outside

Nurture a personal commitment to being green by connecting with your local natural landscape. You can spend time studying outside, going hiking, fishing, or so many other things.

If you want, you can even volunteer for a variety of clean up activities throughout the year that take place on local trails and in local and state parks.

think a company doesn’t have environmentally sustainable practices, or you disagree with their politics related to environmental issues, boycott their products. This may be difficult depending on your use of the product, but it is a very effective way to get companies to change their practices.

7. Be conscious of your travel choices Biking and walking to class or work are obviously the best options, but of course that is difficult, depending on the weather and how far you live from campus. Other options that are more eco friendly include using public transportation or carpooling with friends to class or work.

9. Reduce and Reuse Reduce your use of packaged goods by buying in bulk or by purchasing less packaged goods. Be conscious of the waste you produce every day and try and cut down slowly.

When you’re buying new items, try to find the same items second hand. You can do this with lots of items on craigslist, Facebook or OfferUp. You can find second hand clothes at secondhand clothing stores around town or even at consignment shops.

8. Buy smart Research the products and companies you support through your purchases. If you

Big 12 Golf Championship preview GOLF

BY JOE SEVERINO SPORTS WRITER WVU golf will look to make some noise this week when it will travel to Tulsa, Okla., on Monday to compete in the Big 12 Championship.

West Virginia This will be WVU’s third Big 12 Championship since the program was reinstated.

The Mountaineers, however, finished last in both 2016 and 2017.

But going into the tournament the Mountaineers will have the best roster they’ve had all year, and while a topthree finish probably won’t occur, WVU is more than talented enough to not finish in the cellar.

WVU has two talented freshmen in the lineup for this week. Matthew Sharpstene and Mark Goetz have been staples in the top-five this spring and had plenty of notable performances.

Goetz owns a third and fourth-place finish this season, and Sharpstene grabbed second and fifthplace finishes.

The Mountaineers also have senior Avery Schneider, junior Max Sear and sophomore Etienne Papineau playing for them this week.

Schneider competed just once on the team roster this season but played in five as an individual. He finished in the top-15 twice this year.

Sear has six top-10 finishes this season, including two second-place finishes. Papinaeu competed in 11 tournaments, including a second and third place finish.

Sear competed in the Big 12 Championship in both 2017 and 2016, even finishing in 12th in 2016. Papineau is the only other Mountaineer with conference tournament experience, having competed in 2017.

legiate on April 8. WVU finished just four spots behind the Jayhawks for fourth in place in what was one of WVU’s more impressive tournament performances.

WVU will benefit from warm weather this week in Oklahoma, which they haven’t had much of recently.

But above all, WVU will certainly take a good enough roster to compete in Tulsa, but it will remain to be seen if the Mountaineers will escape the Big 12’s basement.

Tee-times for the threeday, four-round championship are all slated for 8 a.m.

Gardner, WVU track team impresses at UVA TRACK

BY JAMES WHITLEY SPORTS WRITER The West Virginia University track and field team finished the Virginia Challenge with 10 top-10 performances on Saturday in Charlottesville.

Redshirt junior Madelin Gardner broke her own school record on the first day of competition in the women’s pole vault, finishing in second with her personal-best mark of 4.41 meters (14 feet, 5.5 inches) beating her former WVU-best jump of 4.13 meters from 2017.

WVU coach Sean Cleary said Gardner had a extraordinary performance on Friday.

“Maddie (Gardner) was exceptional in the pole vault, breaking the school record three times,” Cleary said.

“We’re excited that she has turned things around quickly and has sufficient time to now train for the Big 12 Championship and NCAAs.” Freshman Ellie Gardner tied for second place in the women’s pole vault on Friday with a mark of 3.71 meters (12 feet, 2 inches). Junior Danique Bryan placed fifth in the women’s triple jump with a mark of 12.58 meters (41 feet, 3.25 inches).

On Saturday, redshirt senior Amy Cashin placed second in the women’s 1,500 meters registering a time of 4:20.29.

Cleary said after this weekend the team is heading in the right path.

“After watching Amy’s 1,500 tonight, it’s very obvious she is back to her indoor shape,” Cleary said. “I was especially pleased that she was able to handle the tactical nature of tonight’s race and kick as

well as she ever has over the last lap.

“It was exciting to see Amy, Maddie (Gardner) and Danique (Bryan) all in uniform together this weekend and progressing in the right direction as we get closer to the championship season. I was very proud of the team for

being able to turn around so quickly after getting back from Bucknell in the early hours last Monday and compete in such a big invitational on Friday and Saturday. It’ll be nice to get back into town and have a little more time to recover and train before hitting the road for next week’s competition.”

Along with Cashin, redshirt freshman Sarah Willis took second place in the women’s 1,500 meters earning a personal-best time of 4:32.71.

Redshirt senior Rebecca Wendt placed eighth in the women’s 800 meters in 2:15.26.

Junior Faith Penny tied for second in the women’s

high jump on the final day of competition, recording a mark of 1.61 meters (5 feet, 3.25 inches). Junior Danique Bryan finished seventh with a mark of 5.79 meters (19 feet).

WVU will return to Charlottesville on April 28 to compete in the Virginia Grand Prix.

Why WVU needed this weekend’s win BASEBALL

MANAGING EDITOR Coming into this weekend’s series against Kansas State, West Virginia knew things needed to change.

It came in with the fewest wins in the Big 12 against conference opponents (two).

Those two wins were tied with Kansas State for the fewest in the conference. Those two wins also coincided with seven losses in conference play, meaning it took just one game from Texas Tech and Oklahoma State while being swept by Oklahoma on the road.

A series win could point WVU in the right direction, and that’s exactly what it got.

Behind a late rally Friday, WVU earned an 8-5 victory over the Wildcats. And then, behind a shutout effort from starting pitcher Kade Strowd and the bullpen and 12 hits from the offense, the Mountaineers earned the 6-0 win Saturday, securing their first Big 12 series of the season. “It’s definitely big time,� said WVU redshirt sophomore first baseman Marques Inman. “We definitely needed this. Coming into the series we knew how crucial this series was. It’s cool to have a series win under our belt.�

WVU had a solid resume up to this point, certainly in terms of RPI. Its RPI is No. 30 nationally, which puts it in the NCAA Tournament field of 64 teams by that No. 30 mark alone.

Along with that impressive RPI ranking, it has played the toughest schedule in all of college baseball.

Those are difficult numbers to argue. But there were also other difficult numbers to argue, and although they can still be argued and debated right now, it is tougher to discredit WVU after what it accomplished this weekend.

The Mountaineers were just 17-17 overall and 2-7 in the Big 12 before Friday. Those records would not wow the NCAA Tournament committee, especially since only four teams last year with records of .500 or below made it into the

Marques Inman reaches second base after a double against Kansas State.

64-team field, and all four of those teams came from lesser conferences that had to win their respective conference tournaments to get in.

They understood those numbers required improvements. A sub-.500 record will not make you stand out in terms of the postseason.

Kansas State is not the cream of the crop, but a win is still a win. Kansas State might be just 2-12 in the Big 12, which puts it in dead last in the conference standings, but the numbers saw positive alterations.

Now, the Mountaineers are 19-17 overall and 4-7 in the Big 12. Those numbers are not great by many standards; however, they are more helpful when it comes to the postseason. If you can finish anywhere near .500 in conference play in the Big 12, which is rated as the No. 2 RPI conference in the country, then your odds of making it are far better. “It gives us a lot of momentum going into the rest of the

season, back half,� said WVU redshirt sophomore catcher/ designated hitter Chase Illig. “It’s just what we needed at the right time.�

If this series win can propel WVU into more victories down the road, then it likely will not need to worry come Selection Monday. It has already played three of the top four teams in the Big 12 — Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech.

There is still a big series looming against Texas in Morgantown next weekend.

If WVU takes at least two of three from the Longhorns — who are in third place — and more teams remaining on the schedule, then there is even less to worry about. “It’s unbelievable,� said WVU sophomore pitcher Kade Strowd. “That’s a big time win. We’ve played all the best teams in the Big 12. It’s time to go out there and start winning every series we play now.�
