President’s contract discussion begins BOG begins Clements’ contract renewal process

BY TRAVIS CRUM CITY EDITOR

The West Virginia University Board of Governors held meetings Thursday to discuss a possible new contract for

University President James P. Clements five months before his current contract expires on June 30.

The BOG made no action or vote on the matter, said Becky Lofstead, University spokesperson, who confirmed the BOG met to discuss a new contract for Clements. She said she was unable to confirm or deny if the BOG discussed a salary change in Clements’ contract.

“It’s an appropriate time to begin discussions, as his term expires this year,” she said.

He signed a two-year contract in March 2009 at a salary of $450,000 annually. He took office on June 30, 2009, after previously serving as provost at Towson University in Maryland.

Clements’ salary was $150,000 more than Interim President C. Peter Magrath and $195,000 more than his

predecessor, Mike Garrison.

Unlike Garrison and former President David Hardesty, none of Clements’ salary comes from the WVU Foundation. However, he and his family have access to the Foundation’s plane and cars.

In contrast to past presidents, Clements’ family receives approximately $5,000 annually for medical examinations that would not be covered by the West Virginia

Public Employees Insurance Agency. Magrath, Garrison and Hardesty were all given a $10,000 annually expenditure limit, according to their contracts.

West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission policy states the maximum time allowed for a first-term president’s contract is two years.

During contract talks, the BOG could decide to renew the contract. At that point, Cle-

The West Virginia men’s basketball team had an offensive breakout performance against Providence in a 93-63 victory over the Friars Thursday night at the WVU Coliseum.

The Mountaineers used a career-high 24 points from senior forward John Flowers.

Flowers also held the Big East Conference’s second leading scorer Providence’s Marshon Brooks - to just 13 points. WVU has now won three-straight games heading into a non-conference battle with Purdue Sunday.

West Virginia’s new offensive coordinator and head coachin-waiting Dana Holgorsen made his first public appearance at the WVU men’s basketball game against Providence on Thursday.

After being cheered in the first half when he was shown on the scoreboard, Holgorsen made a loop around the WVU Coliseum floor at halftime to shake hands with fans. Students chanted “Dana! Dana! Dana!” while he made the rounds.

His new offensive staff members include offensive line coach Bill Bedenbaugh, running game coordinator Robert Gillespie and inside receivers coach Shannon Dawson. WVU President James P. Clements and Board of Governors Chairwoman Carolyn Long joined Holgorsen on the trip.

Holgorsen, the former Oklahoma State offensive coordinator, was hired in December to replace former offensive coordinator Jeff Mullen.

President Barack Obama spoke Wednesday night at a memorial service honoring six people who died during an attempted assassination of Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Gifford last Saturday.

During his speech, Obama focused on remembering the lives of the six who died and the joy they brought their loved ones.

He shared personal anecdotes about each of them and encouraged their families not to lose hope during such dark times.

“I believe we can be better,” Obama said to capacity crowd in the University of Arizona basketball arena and to countless others watching across America.

“Those who died here, those who saved lives here , they help me believe. We may not be able to stop all evil in the world, but I know that how we treat one another is entirely up to us.”

Obama, who in the past has been criticized for his aloofness and chilly demeanor, delivered a passion-

ate reminder to the families to carry on in the face of tragedy.

Pundits and critics are calling Obama’s Wednesday night speech a defining moment of his presidency.

The West Virginia University Student Government Association Chris Lewallen said he was moved by the President’s speech.

“It brought a tear to my eye. It made me feel proud to be a part of this country,” Lewallen said.

Students around campus have expressed feelings about the shooting and Obama’s speech.

WVU offers flu vaccines to students and faculty

BY DUSTIN HOFFMAN STAFF WRITER

West Virginia University is offering students and faculty discounted flu vaccines in hopes of decreasing the number of those affected by the virus this flu season.

WELL WVU will hold a flu shot clinic on Wednesday, Jan. 19 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Rec Center.

Students and faculty can get shots at a reduced cost of $5, payable by cash, check or charge to student accounts. Shots were previously administered at a cost of $15 during flu clinics last semester.

Jan Palmer, director of Student Health Services for WELL WVU, said the discount is intended to encourage those who have yet to come out to get vaccinated.

“We have plenty (doses remaining), and we are encour-

aging people to come out and get it. There has been a low turnout this year, not only at WVU, but nationwide,” Palmer said.

During the months of flu season, November to March, February is considered to be the peak month for influenza, and the first cases of the virus are appearing in the Monongalia County area, he said.

“Because last year there was such big flu news, and H1N1 was such a big thing, people were anxious to get vaccinated,” he said. “This year, there is not so much frenzy and talk about influenza, so people are just not (getting vaccinated).”

Flu-like symptoms include high fever, body aches, a cough and sudden onset of illness. Body aches and a particularly high fever, Palmer said, is what can indicate

Club 228 remodels to stray EPA vetoes water permit for a from ‘freshman bar’ image West Virginian mountaintop mine LOCAL

by melissa candolfi staff writer

Club 228, located on High Street, recently had a grand reopening Tuesday night after the bar’s upstairs was remodeled in December.

The entrance of the club was redesigned, the floor was replaced, new paint on the walls, and the whole bar was refurbished, said Mohammad Kay, manager of Club 228.

The remodel was made to attract new business and older clientele to change the bar’s image as a “freshman bar,” said Ric Hogerheide, Club 228 DJ and promoter.

“Downtown Morgantown has had the same clubs for 10 years,” Hogerheide said. “So it has been the same scene for so long, students have become reliant, and we real-

ized it’s time to do something about it.”

Hogerheide said he hopes the remodel will encourage students to see what the club has to offer.

“Just because we are not 21-plus does not mean we do not cater to those kind of students,” he said.

Over a year ago when Club 228 opened, their goal was to change the design of the club every semester in order to keep students interested, Kay said.

After seeing how downtown clubs in Morgantown had a downturn last semester, Kay said he realized it was time for an upgrade.

Downtown clubs face competition from each other, so it’s important for each business to have fresh interiors to attract business, he said.

“All of us club owners are friends,” Kay said. “So if one club is doing really well, I am happy for them. But at the same time, I want to do better.”

Hogerheide said the construction helped the club feel not as “gigantic.”

“If you put 50 people in (The Cellar) and 50 people in 228, 228 is going to look empty but the students aren’t realizing the size of the building,” he said.

Kay is hoping to attract students with weekly drink specials as well.

“Some students don’t care what it looks like; they care about the specials,” he said.

“All students are on a budget ,so we want them to come to a nice place and drink cheap.” melissa.candolfi@mail.wvu.edu

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — The Environmental Protection Agency said Thursday it’s revoking a crucial water permit for West Virginia’s largest mountaintop removal mine because it would irreparably damage the environment and threaten the health of nearby communities.

Assistant Administrator for Water Peter S. Silva said the agency was employing a rarely used veto power because Arch Coal’s Spruce No. 1 mine in Logan County would use “destructive and unsustainable” mining practices.

The move formalizes an action the agency first threatened nine months ago.

Arch issued a statement saying it was “shocked and dismayed” by EPA’s assault on a permit that was legitimately issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and vowed to continue fighting for the mine.

“We believe this decision will have a chilling effect on future U.S. investment,” said company spokeswoman Kim Link.

The nearly 2,300-acre Spruce mine would bury 7 miles of streams, and EPA has previously ruled it would likely harm downstream water quality. The St. Louis-based coal company has planned to invest $250 million in the project, creating 250 jobs, but the mine has been delayed by lawsuits since it was permitted in 2007.

Mining already under way in a small portion of the Spruce site won’t be affected by the EPA ruling, but it prohibits new, largescale operations in other areas.

The ruling brought predictable responses from observers – praise from environmentalists and harsh words from the industry and its supporters, including many of the state’s top elected officials.

“This news is devastating,”

said acting Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin, a Democrat. “The Spruce No. 1 permit was issued years ago and it’s hard to understand how the EPA at this late stage could take such a drastic action.”

Democratic U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, a former governor whose administration sued EPA last year over its new scrutiny of mountaintop removal coal mining, called the ruling “fundamentally wrong” and “a shocking display of overreach” that will cost jobs.

But Michael Brune, executive director of the Sierra Club, called it “a strong commitment to the law, the science and the principles of environmental justice.”

And Janet Keating, executive director of the Ohio Valley Environmental Coalition, said EPA is validating what her organization has long argued: “These types of mining operations are destroying our streams and forests, and nearby residents’ health.”

EPA said it was acting within its legal authority in revoking the permit and “using the best science” to protect water quality, wildlife and people.

“Coal and coal mining are part of our nation’s energy future, and EPA has worked with companies to design mining operations that adequately protect our nation’s waters,” Silva said.

“We have a responsibility under the law to protect water quality and safeguard the people who rely on clean water.”

The EPA said this is only the 13th time since 1972 that it has used its Clean Water Act veto authority, and the first time it’s acted on a previously permitted mine. EPA says it reserves that power “for only unacceptable cases” and used it in 1978 to veto a previously permitted landfill in Miami.

State House of Delegates resurrects ethics disclosure expansion CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — An array of West Virginia public servants would share some of their spouses’ financial details under a measure advanced Thursday in the House of Delegates.

cabinet secretaries and agency heads from becoming lobbyists within one year of leaving office. The waiting period also extends to an elected state official’s will-and-pleasure adviser or other staffer involved in decision-making.

action threatens the certainty of all similar permits that have been issued. Spruce No. 1 went through a “robust 10-year review” process, he said, and the project has complied with every permit requirement.

Mountaintop removal is a highly efficient but particularly destructive form of strip mining that blasts mountains apart at the top to expose multiple seams of coal. Excess rock and rubble are dumped into nearby valleys, often burying streams.

EPA said it had urged Arch for more than a year to come up with a plan to mitigate environmental harm from the Spruce mine, but the company proposed no new configurations. Thursday’s ruling prohibits Arch from dumping waste into streams “unless the company identifies an alternative mining design.”

Last year, EPA and another company collaborated on a plan to halve the impact on water resources while simultaneously increasing coal production, Silva said.

Environmentalists had challenged the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ authority to issue Clean Water Act permits for large mountaintop removal mines, and last March, EPA announced it would veto one issued for Spruce.

Arch countered that the EPA has no authority to revoke such a permit once it’s been issued.

Public hearings on the EPA’s plan set off a fierce battle last year.

In October, months after the state Department of Environmental Protection warned that litigation was imminent, West Virginia sued the EPA over its mountaintop mining policies.

Since President Barack Obama took office, the flow of water quality permits for Appalachian mines has slowed to a trickle.

members of the part-time Legislature. Under the bill, officials would also have to list any forprofit businesses and nonprofit groups for which they are directors or officers.

Besides extending all the disclosures to a spouse, the bill also requires the names and primary addresses of dependents at least 18 years old.

The Ethics Commission must list filing deadline scofflaws online or in print, under the bill.

It further requires the agency to start posting online at least the filings of statewide and legislative officials and candidates starting in 2012.

The committee strengthened language meant to require the commission to post all filings once it has sufficient resources.

The agency has around a halfdozen full-time employees and a $665,700 budget, though a $90,600 increase has been proposed for the upcoming budget year.

By a non-unanimous vote, it removed language extending the lobbying wait period for will-and-pleasure staffers to the duration of their former bosses’ terms if greater than one year.

At least 36 states require some degree of spousal disclosure, according to the Center for Public Integrity. The nonpartisan group flunked West Virginia for its ethics laws, prompting the Ethics Commission to seek a legislative update to its disclosure rules.

Acting Senate President Jeff Kessler, D-Marshall, has expressed support for the measure. He’s noted that the Senate Judiciary Committee endorsed the 2010 version when he was its chairman.

Tomblin’s address shows hope for future West Virginia Governor Ray Tomblin gave his first State of the State address on Wednesday, leaving us with more confidence for the future.

At times his speech sounded like any other from a politician with phrases like “as Governor, I will make jobs my number one priority,” but, his sincerity seemed to improve as the speech rolled on.

Tomblin reported his budget as not only balanced, but it does not raise any taxes, or threaten the pay of our teach-

ers or state employees. “This budget neither cuts nor creates entitlement programs. It does not rely on any rainy day funds.

And the budget I submit to you today does not rely on any onetime stimulus funding from the federal government as a backfill to state operations.”

Having our governor start his term on positive notes is a nice change to the negativity heard every day concerning state and national economic issues.

He also was pleased to re-

port job growth is up, and workers compensation is down 2.7 percent.

West Virginians need to take the good news from our governor and move to a more prosperous future.

Our low cost of living and business expenses have allowed companies to feel comfortable investing here.

Macy’s Inc, according to Tomblin, invested over $150 million recently as they are building a new 1.3 millionsquare- foot fulfillment center

in Berkley County. This will add 900 full-time, 300 part-time and 700 seasonal jobs.

Tomblin boasted further about the progress of the coal industry in West Virginia and how we have the only power plant in the world that captures and stores CO2 emission, making strides toward a clean coal future.

Any notion of a cleaner way to burn coal will be of best interest to West Virginia. As Tomblin mentioned, our state has a $25 billion coal industry that

produces 63,000 jobs.

The expectations of a productive and prosperous West Virginia rely on the businesses willing to invest here.

We need to encourage our youth to stay in the state after they have completed college, and the only way that will happen is if there are enough jobs to go around.

After Tomblin’s address, the future seems as if we are on the right track. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Arizona tragedy shows need for more empathy and unity michael levy columnist

I have consistently been disappointed by President Obama’s willingness to rise above the partisan fray.

On health care, tax cuts and Wall Street reform, I have felt deep dissatisfaction as he has retreated from narrative battle after battle in the name of compromise and pragmatism.

But, his Wednesday evening call to civility in the wake of the Arizona tragedy stirred a deep patriotic instinct within me.

Obama isn’t asking us to quiet our dissent or mute our disagreements but that we find a way to have those discussions and live our lives with more listening, more empathy and a heightened search for common ground instead of political points.

Don Baer, the former presidential speechwriter, brilliantly summed up the reaction so many of us instinctively tried to grapple with the shooting in Arizona. “This time, in the interest of condemning vitriol, all sides have become vitriolic.”

We live in extremely challenging times. China’s ascendency is neigh, and the military and economic strength of the United States is waning. That’s not a partisan statement; it is reality stated openly by the National Intelligence Council in their periodic report, Global Trends 2025.

During times as tough as these, it is natural to blame someone else. The rise of the Nazis in Weimar, Germany, for example, was fueled by psychic anger over the lost greatness of the German Empire.

If America is to retain any of its best traditions, we have to change how we conduct our lives.

As President Obama said, the tragedy in Arizona was not caused by a lack of civility and “only a more civil and honest public discourse can help us face up to the challenges of our nation.”

There are many things the government can do and many things our government will need to do if we are to manage a soft landing from the lofty heights of empire. But, what is needed first and foremost is personal change among Americans – We need a cultural transformation.

Fifty years ago, John Kennedy urged us to “Ask not what your country can do for you , ask what you can do for your country.”

The following are my humble suggestions for what we as citizens can, should and must do to make our country healthier and ourselves happier.

We need more and better listening. I am regularly stunned by how commonly listening is replaced by planning what to say next or by trying to figure out how the speaker is wrong. Listen with open ears, mind and heart.

There will be time to express yourself later, and the more you hear others, the more you will be heard.

Though we are increasingly challenged by longer workweeks and more commitments, we have to find a way to spend more time with our families.

Parents desperately need to be more invested in their children’s education and development. We need to hear the stories and learn the traditions of past generations. The world has transformed around us in a few decades and has left us up in the air, susceptible to whatever breezes marketers and political strategists blow our way.

Our familial bonds and traditions anchor us in these tumultuous times.

The 30 second sound bite,

ap

Nicholas Darochkin and Ann Marie Kilargis of Tucscon hold each other outside St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church at the funeral of 9-year-old Christina Taylor Green Thursday in Tucson, Ariz.

24-hour-cycle news has to be replaced by a more nourishing source of knowledge of world events.

For cable news companies, advertisers are the customers, and viewers are the product being sold.

They make a fortune capturing and occupying our attention.

They gain nothing by helping us through complex and nuanced issues.

If we are serious about dealing with the intractable structural problems facing our country, we need to understand them.

It is time to get our information

elsewhere.

We have to take more personal responsibility. It is far too easy and too common to blame others.

We face financial ruin because we continue to spend more than make. China is out innovating us because we are less willing to struggle through math and science classes.

What the government does matters, and what corporations do matters. Each of us can only control our own behavior, so make sure it serves the greater good.

There is a serious deficit of

kindness in this country. As President Obama said, in the wake of the tragedy, “we recognize our own mortality, and we are reminded in the fleeting time we have on this Earth, what matters is not wealth, status, power or fame – but rather, how well we have loved and what small part we have played in making the lives of other people better.”

There are monumental challenges in the road ahead. No one can confront them but us.

We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. To deal with those challenges, we must understand that we all play for the

same team.

In President Obama’s words, we need to “remind ourselves of all the ways that our hopes and dreams are bound together.” We must listen to and care for each other.

We will have to face hard truths and make tough choices if our republic is to emerge from the challenges facing it. To do that, we must be willing to forego personal advantages for the greater good.

So, put away your partisan blame, and figure out what you can do for your community and your country.

This is most evident at the Student Recreation Center, that newish building on Evansdale to which many of us drive in order to run (even in warmer months).

Undoubtedly, it will be swollen with guilty and half-hearted crowds from now until even the most stalwart self-consciousness gives way to unapologetic physical apathy let’s say early February.

Multi-task An average workout is about an hour. But your body has more than one muscle group, each of which can be worked many ways - why not take advantage of this by rotating among different machines and weights? If someone really needed one of the stations in your cycle, surely they would ask you politely instead of stand-

Multitasking can also be accomplished by lingering around machines while having 20minute conversations with that kid from your psychology class.

Exercise can be more effective when efficient, especially at the expense of others.

Obey the Great Hygienic Double Standard Sure, the weights and benches downstairs might be crawling with MRSA and myriad flavors of fungi but not upstairs. Upstairs is as sterile as a surgery room, thanks to obedience to the posters inviting you to wipe off your residue when you are done with your reps.

‘An Evening with Sarah McLachlan and Friends’ at CAC by mackenzie mays associate a&e editor

Audiences will get to spend “An Evening with Sarah McLachlan and Friends” Friday at the West Virginia University Creative Arts Center.

Three-time Grammy Award winner McLachlan will be joined by newcomers Butterfly Boucher and Melissa McClelland.

Tickets to this weekend’s show quickly sold out, according to Ali Daily, public relations specialist with WVU Arts & Entertainment.

McLachlan’s powerfully haunting voice made its debut on the mainstream music scene in the mid-nineties, receiving renowned praise for her first hit single “I Will Remember You.” Other super-succesful sin-

gles include “Angel,” “Building a Mystery” and “Fallen.”

She is also the founder of the concert tour and travelling music festival “Lilith Fair,” which features mostly female artists and has raise over $10 million for women’s charities throughout North America.

Now, McLachlan is back with her album “Laws of Illusion,” which debuted June 2010.

Australian singer, bassist, drummer and keyboardist Butterfly Boucher will play as the opening act and showcase hits from her albums “Flutterby” and “Scary Fragile.”

Butterfly Boucher has toured with the Barenaked Ladies and recorded a duet with David Bowie for the “Shrek 2” soundtrack.

Guest Artist program to showcase classical variety

Guest artist, pianist Laura Melton, will perform Sunday at the CAC.

by rachel duryea a&e writer

A guest artist recital will be held Sunday at the Creative Arts Center featuring pianist Laura Melton.

Melton is an associate professor and coordinator of Keyboard Studies at Bowling Green State University.

She has received numerous prizes in major international competitions, including the Mendelssohn Competition in Berlin, the New York Recital Division of the Joanna Hodges Competition and the National Symphony Orchestra’s Young Artist Competition.

She has performed at the Freiburg Musikhochschule Orchestra in Germany, the San Francisco Chamber Players and the International Chamber Orchestra in California.

Melton is a member of the Phoenix Piano Quartet, and recorded the violin and piano works of Currier for a CD on Albany Records in late 2010 with violinist Yehonatan Berick.

Melton said Sunday’s program will feature a variety of music, varying between classical and romantic genres.

“The program includes a sonata by Franz Joseph Haydn, who was a classical composer, and a romantic piece by Franz Liszt, which is about fountains in a village in Italy called Este,” Melton said. “I’m contrasting

wvu today

that with a 20th century piece by Maurice Ravel that’s also called ‘fountains’ in French.”

The program will also feature preludes from “Book II” by French composer Claude Debussy and a jazz-inspired piece

by Russian composer Nikolai Kapustin.

Melton said she not only strives to teach young musicians more about the history of music with her work but also wants to open doors for those unfamiliar with classical genres.

“I realize that these days, musical tastes are very different. I think it’s important for young people especially to know about classical music, and to at least have that background and that perspective of having heard classical music before,” Melton said.

Melton plans to give the audience a one-of-kind performance, and hopes to introduce people to something they’ve never heard before.

“I hope there will be some people who are interested just for the sake of being interested in classical music and jazz,” Melton said. “I always like to play something unique in my program. I love to hear people’s reactions to the new pieces they’ve heard.”

The performance begins at 3 p.m. at the Bloch Learning and Performance Hall (200A) and is free and open to the public. rachel.duryea@mail.wvu.edu

artist McClelland will also perform.

“Sarah (McLachlan) is a force in the music industry, and we’re very excited to have her in Morgantown,” Daily said. “Her influential sound has opened doors for female artists, and her founding of Lilith Fair has helped to usher other female songwriters into the mainstream.”

Daily said she expects this concert to be a special and intimate evening at the CAC for all audiences.

“I think her music appeals to every generation. We’re thrilled to announce that the concert has sold out and we hope that those in attendance will enjoy themselves.

It should be a memorable evening,” Daily said. sarahmclachlan.com

HOROSCOPES

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year, tap into your innate creativity. In fact, you might be amazed how solutions appear. Take good care of your health, and avoid any extremes. Bones and teeth could be vulnerable. If you are single, count down the days to summer, when you might delight in admirers playing ringaround-the-rosey around you. If you are attached, expect the summer to sizzle as you reconnect with your sweetie on a deeper level. TAURUS intrigues you.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHH Everyone has awkward moments, you included. Today you encounter one of these strange moments where you would like to be anywhere else but where you are. Others still appreciate your strength and leadership. Tonight: Of course, a force to be noticed.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHH Realize the cards are stacked in your favor, even if you don’t feel like it. Allow greater give-and-take. You have no reason to feel jeopardized. Add that extra creative touch to your style of communication. Tonight: Christen the weekend right.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHH If you need to withdraw or take a day off, there is no time like now. You might opt to close your door socially as well. Yes, you need and want to recharge your batteries. Do for yourself right now. Tonight: Nowhere to be found.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHHH Zero in on what you want. You might

have a gawky moment or two. Be more adventuresome in how you deal with a certain partner or friend. You seem to just go along with his or her moodiness as part of the program. Tonight: Zero in on what you want.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHH You might need to reorganize your day if you accept the predominant role you want. Sorting through your priorities could be very important. Your sense of direction will be called upon. Knowing and understanding your limits remains a high priority. Tonight: Count on being a centerpiece.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHHH Retain that earthy quality that others love. You will see how instrumental that outlook is to your well-being. Understanding evolves to a new level if you are willing to share more than in the past. Take a deep look at a new opportunity. Tonight: Take off ASAP. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH Continue relating on an individual level.

You could be distinctly uncomfortable as you make your way through another person’s defensive maze. Look at your feelings. If you really want to pull out, do. Be direct in your dealings. Tonight: How about a more fun one-on-one?

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH Defer to others, knowing what must be done. Everyone needs to see the outcome of his or her own decisions.

By deferring, you are providing a wonderful opportunity to do just that. Ultimately, you are creating more respect and understanding. Tonight: The more

the merrier.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHHH Understand what is happening within your immediate circle. You might need to take action or try something differently in order to ease some of the tension. Look to solutions that break the mold, not the bank. Tonight: Work as late as need be. You will feel freer later.

C APRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHHH Allow for more exchange with others. A sense of humor, a different approach and/or less intensity could work. Lighten up a situation. Deal directly with someone you care about. He or she will illuminate your day as a result. Tonight: Let your imagination lead.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHH Stay on top of a problem; it could be much easier to deal with. Count on your sixth sense coming through. Your instincts often bypass facts and logic.

Learn to put more trust in them as well.

Reach out for a family member. Tonight: Buy a favorite munchie on the way home.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHHH Your ability to come to terms with a situation emerges. Someone, clearly a close friend or associate, is hard on you.

At what point do you cut bait? The answer really depends on your boundaries. A meeting stars in your day. Tonight: Where your friends are.

Something to Tweet about

WVU starting to fill roles Flowers’ career

As a sports writer, it is easy to get caught up in using a cliche to describe a certain play, a defining moment in a game or even a season.

At times, there is no better way to paint a picture for others, as sports and cliches have a perfect harmony together.

In regard to the 2010-11 West Virginia men’s basketball team, head coach Bob Huggins was asked repeatedly during the preseason what he expected from a team coming off a Final Four finish. Huggins, with his usual witty sense of humor, responded with a cliche along the lines of “crossing that bridge when we get there.”

It was the perfect response for a team that lost star forwards Devin Ebanks and Da’Sean Butler to the NBA and forward Wellington Smith to graduation.

After dropping their first two Big East Conference games to St. John’s and Marquette, many began to doubt the chemistry of the Mountaineers, as they looked disinterested and outmatched at times.

This left some labeling road contests against both DePaul and Georgetown as “must-wins.”

Huggins and his players alike cautioned that it takes time to build a team and that “Rome was not built in a day.”

WVU not only answered the bell by winning both contests, but it also started to find the chemistry necessary to succeed within a black-and-blue league such as the Big East.

After Thursday night’s 93-63 shellacking of Providence, it truly does look like the Mountaineers are rounding into a formidable team that can make some noise in the near future.

“I believe this team has taken a turn for the better,” said forward Kevin Jones. “It is all about mental focus and just buying into the team concept instead of everybody playing for just for each other.”

WVU’s first big test of the season comes to town Sunday when No. 8 Purdue makes its first visit to the WVU Coliseum since 1975. The Boilermakers present much of the same challenge to the Mountaineers as their mid-season visit from Ohio State last season.

Purdue boasts two elite scoring threats who will challenge the defense. The team will also bring an intense man-to-man, pressure defense that will test the offense’s ability to move and handle the ball.

Coincidentally, that is also when WVU began to play its best basketball of the season in 2009.

If there was ever a time for these Mountaineers to begin to climax, it is now, as the schedule does not do them any favors.

With eight of the team’s next 12 games coming against teams that are currently in the top 25, it will no doubt be a “tough row to hoe” in the coming weeks as WVU attempts to defend its Big East crown. brian.kuppelweiser@mail.wvu.edu

night too much for Providence by tony dobies sports editor

The West Virginia men’s basketball team wanted to put on a show for its new offensive mastermind.

It was only coincidence that the first WVU sporting event new football head coach-in-waiting Dana Holgorsen attended was the Mountaineers’ best scoring performance in Big East Conference play since 2009.

The Mountaineers scored 46 points in the first half, en route to a 26-point halftime lead, and cruised to a 9363 victory over Providence Thursday night at the WVU Coliseum.

“We made some shots finally,” said WVU head coach Bob Huggins. “We’re like everyone else. When we make shots, we have a chance to be pretty good.”

WVU (11-4, 3-2 Big East Conference) has now won three-straight games after two-straight losses to start conference play.

“This team has taken a turn for the better,” said junior forward Kevin Jones. “Everybody is playing for the team and not playing for themselves, and that’s what’s turned the team around.”

It was just the second time this season the Mountaineers scored more than 90 points.

West Virginia shot 48.6 percent from the field in the game – the fifth time this season WVU has done so.

matt sunday/the daily athenaeum

West Virginia’s John Flowers celebrates after scoring two of his career-high 24 points as Dan Jennings looks on in the Mountaineers’ 93-63 win over Providence Thursday.

Senior defensive stalwart John Flowers – who was without his normal headband – showed off his offense against the Friars, scoring a careerhigh 24 points and adding six rebounds, five blocks and five assists.

He is the first player in WVU history to have such a stat line.

During the game, Flowers did just about everything – hit jumpers, dunks, layups, 3-pointers and free throws all while defending Providence’s best player, guard Marshon Brooks.

“What John did today was

terrific and a hard thing,” Huggins said. “Brooks is a great player.”

Flowers led a solid allaround performance in the first half, as the senior forward scored 15 points – including just his fifth 3-pointer of the season – during the first 20 minutes. He was a point away from matching his career high in just the first half.

WVU started a 21-0 run in the middle of the second half, as Providence wouldn’t score for more than seven minutes.

Flowers scored nine points in that stretch.

“I made my first shot, and it

just started to fall from there,” Flowers said. “I didn’t think I was going to come in and score a lot of points. My mindset was to come in and stop (Brooks) on defense.”

In the second half, it was much of the same.

The Mountaineers extended their lead to 34 points with more than nine minutes left to play and rode a solid all-around effort the rest of the way.

West Virginia put its reserves into the game with more than four minutes remaining. The Mountaineers’ largest lead of 37 came with

6:50 to play in the second half.

WVU shut down Providence’s scoring tandem of guards Brooks and Vincent Council.

The two – who came in averaging a combined 39 points – were held to just 24.

The Mountaineers held the Friars to just 31.2 percent shooting; they shot 19.4 percent in the first half.

Brooks led Providence with 13 points. The Friars have now lost five games in a row.

Flowers outshines Big East’s second-leading scorer by brian gawthrop associate sports editor

He did it in typical John Flowers fashion.

With 16:23 remaining in the second half, the senior forward rose straight up over a Providence defender and slammed down a twohanded dunk.

A quick celebratory dance

by Flowers ensued while the WVU Coliseum crowd of 11,052 gave the senior a standing ovation.

Shortly thereafter, a video played on the Coliseum’s big screen showing Flowers and Mountaineer Sports Network color analyst Jay Jacobs teaching the crowd how to “Dougie” to the Cali Swag District’s “Teach Me How to Dougie.”

“Tonight,” Flowers said, “was a lot of fun.”

The dunk capped off the best game of Flowers’ career as the senior finished with a career-high 24 points along with six rebounds, five assists and three steals in WVU’s 93-63 win over

Providence Thursday.

He did so uncharacteristically without his trademark headband, only because the team’s equipment manager, Steve Bierer, denied Flowers’ request of one, citing the forward “gave them away too much.”

“I’m just a nice guy. I can’t say no to a little kid,” Flowers joked. “But (graduate assistant and former West Virginia player) Darris Nichols told me I’m never wearing

one again.”

Flowers nearly eclipsed his previous career-high of 16 points, which was set in the season opener against Oakland, in the first half alone.

Flowers finished with 15 points in the opening half, including 12 in the first nine minutes of the game.

His jumper with 15:21 left in the first half sparked a 23-2 West Virginia run that gave the Mountaineers a 38-12 lead.

Going on Now!

It was his defense throughout the stretch that kept the streak alive, however, as Flowers finished with three blocks in the 8:45 span and five blocks in the game.

The senior also held Providence forward Marshon Brooks, who entered second in the Big East in scoring, to just 13 points on 5-of-15 shooting.

“What John did today was terrific and a hard thing to do,” said WVU head coach Bob Huggins. “Brooks is good. He’s really, really good.

(Flowers’ defense and offensive performances) were equally impressive.”

Flowers finished with five blocks in the game, bringing

WVU has options to improve future attendance SPORTS WRITER

This whole week, you’ve heard about the problems surrounding low attendance at West Virginia women’s basketball games.

Now, it’s time to find a solution.

The Mountaineers’ fanbase has started to improve over the last few years, thanks mostly to playing better teams at home.

Much of the focus this season, at least in out-of-conference play, has been geared toward offering additional promotions to bring more people into the WVU Coliseum.

While it has worked so far this season, a lack of promo-

WHEN

BY MICHAEL CARVELLI

WINNING

ISN’T ENOUGH

This is the final part of a five-part series that investigates struggling attendance issues at all women’s basketball games at West Virginia. tions might not be the missing piece in making women’s basketball games more popular.

“It’s about creating an atmosphere, creating a fun environment for the kids to enjoy the

game, as well as see a top-10 program on the floor,” said Associate Athletic Director Terri Howes. “These women work just as hard as any team in the country, and they deserve to be rewarded for their efforts.”

When The Daily Athenaeum spoke with head coaches at other schools that were able to boost attendance, they said it wasn’t promotions or additional student attendance that improved atmosphere.

Instead, it was more of a grassroots movement. The teams built relationships with those who already went to games.

The idea was that if those people had a good experience, they would pass it on to

others and eventually build up attendance.

“The No. 1 thing is, I don’t worry about the people that don’t come,” said Iowa State head coach Bill Fennelly. “I just thank the people who do come and be really appreciative of them, and maybe they’ll bring a friend (next game).”

Even with the growing fanbase the Mountaineers have built, there are still changes that can be made to ensure a larger attendance in the future.

That starts with enticing children to games. Promotions like the “Carey’s Crew” kids club and a Mike Carey mustache giveaway are two ideas the women’s basketball staff has come up with during the

nonconference portion of the schedule.

“Our overriding goal for women’s basketball is very much a grassroots effort to try to engage youth in the state,” said Sports Marketing Director Matt Wells. “We want to bring a more personal relationship between Coach Carey and the kids.”

Carey realizes people aren’t just going to show up to games.

They have to do things to get the team out in the public eye, especially to younger people.

“Our girls do a lot of community service. They go to the children’s hospital; they go to schools,” Carey said. “It’s not always about getting. Sometimes you’ve got to give a lit-

tle back, too. We’re just trying to build a relationship with the community and get their support.”

An interesting idea other schools have used to interact with the public is postgame autograph sessions.

While West Virginia has benefited from post-game pizza parties in the past, autograph sessions similar to the gymnastics team’s “Chalk Talk” would only help build a bond with younger fans.

Of course, the biggest thing the Mountaineers can do to draw fans is to do what they’ve done 28-straight times – continue to win at home. james.carvelli@mail.wvu.edu

Following first loss, No. 6 women’s basketball tries to fix issues vs. Syracuse Carey wants to see better effort, execution against the Orange

By Matthew Peaslee Sports Writer

West Virginia wasn’t going to go undefeated.

Mike Carey knew that.

Even still, WVU’s head women’s basketball coach knows his team doesn’t have time to dwell on the Mountaineers’ first loss of the season. The loss to Marquette Tuesday night ended the nation’s longest winning streak at 16 games.

“It’s just too tough,” Carey said of his team’s upset defeat and of his expectations not to go undefeated this season. “But, the way we lost was disappointing.”

WVU (16-1, 3-1 Big East Conference), after leading by four points in the first half, couldn’t get things together in the second half.

The Mountaineers were out-scored by 19 points in the final 20 minutes.

“I don’t want to make it an issue that we lost. I really don’t,” Carey said. “The issue is the way we lost. I don’t mind if you lose and you play

hard.”

Two players – seniors Madina Ali and Sarah Miles – fouled out of the game. Senior guard Liz Repella played much of the second half with four fouls, as well. The Mountaineers also let Marquette take open and second-chance shots throughout the final 20 minutes.

“We will definitely take a look at what we did wrong,” Ali said. “The next time we’re out on the floor, we just need to know that we have to improve. We have to move on from it.”

Carey is expecting better execution and effort out of his team Saturday afternoon when the Mountaineers take on Syracuse (13-3, 1-2) at the Coliseum starting at 4 p.m.

“Sometimes when you lose, you keep losing,” Carey said.

“It’s all about what you do after you lose … I told them Syracuse is better than Marquette … so we’ll see what we’re made of.”

SU began the year as one of the hottest teams in the nation, winning eight in a row to

start the campaign.

Scoring more than 77 points a game, the Orange have the 21st-best offense in the country and fifth-best in the Big East. They eclipsed the 90-point plateau on four different occasions this season. But, they will go up against WVU’s usually stellar defense.

Despite giving up 69 points to Marquette, WVU retains a top-three spot in the country’s defensive scoring numbers. Averaging 47.5 points a contest the Mountaineers’ defense is the second best behind Fairfield.

WVU will head into Saturday’s game with a bit of a chip on its shoulder. The Mountaineers were defeated by the Orange in last year’s regular season finale 67-48.

“We don’t have any time or room to relax,” Miles said.

“Last year they demolished us, and we were a ranked team then. We’re a ranked team again, so we don’t want that to happen again.”

‘Beauty and the Beast’

No. 13 gymnastics hopes to keep momentum after Missouri upset

by Sebouh Majarian Sports Writer

Gymnastics and wrestling normally have no similarities.

That will change Friday night, as West Virginia hosts the first “Beauty and the Beast” competition at the WVU Coliseum. The gymnastics and wrestling teams will compete against Michigan State at the same time on the Coliseum floor.

“It’s going to be exciting, it’s going to be loud, it’s going to be something that, if successful, we will do again,” said head gymnastics coach Linda Burdette-Good.

When looking at the floor from opposite the student section for basketball games, the gymnastics floor will be on the near left, and the wrestling mat will be on the near right, in their normal spots.

The student section seats will not be pulled out, leaving room for the vault, bars and beam apparatuses.

lar as part of Dollar Night Burdette-Good believes all the extra distractions and fan turnout will serve as practice for the Mountaineers next match.

The team will travel to Athens for a critical match against No. 6 Georgia on Monday.

West Virginia is coming off an upset victory over Missouri last weekend, and hopes to use the momentum from the victory in Cancun, Mexico, to defeat the Spartans.

“We went in and trained, then they had a great meet, and that was a big win,” BurdetteGood said, “They performed very well, and they stayed focused and also had some fun.”

The team is looking to im-

prove on its 19-9 record from last year. The Mountaineers finished third (12-2) in the East Atlantic Gymnastics League.

The team will be without senior Naja Johnson, as she is out an undetermined period with ankle injuries. Johnson, who was named to the 2009 allEAGL first-team for bars, injured both ankles at a Cancun Classic practice session.

Michigan State will also be without one of its better gymnasts. Senior Kathryn Mahoney is out indefinitely after having surgery to repair a fractured vertebra.

Without Johnson, West Virginia will have to rely on senior Amy Bieski and freshman Hope Sloanhoffer, who both earned EAGL weekly awards this week for performance against Missouri.

“She was a real pleasant surprise, and we hope that’s how she will continue,” BurdetteGood said. “If she does continue like that, she’s really going to help the team be successful this season.” sebouh.majarian@mail.wvu.edu

Wrestling tries for second-straight upset after weekend victory vs. Illini

By Matthew Peaslee Sports Writer

West Virginia head wrestling coach Craig Turnbull said he couldn’t have scripted his team’s upset of No. 8 Illinois any better.

On Jan. 7, the Mountaineers found themselves trailing the Fighting Illini on the road 15-12 going into the final match. Senior Brandon Rader was the last hope for WVU to pull off one of the biggest upsets in program history.

He did.

The 149-pound Rader pinned Eric Terrazas, the seventhranked wrestler in the country, in 49 seconds to give the Mountaineers the 18-15 win – their fourth of the season.

It was just what the Parkersburg, W.Va., native needed to get his injury-laden career back on track.

“With the match on his shoulders, he’s such a competitor he forgot about his past struggles and just went after it,” Turnbull said.

It was a unique position for Rader. Usually wrestling in

the middle of the rotation, the 149-pound bout was held off to the last match of the contest.

Rader faced Terrazas just a few weeks beforehand at the Cliff Keen Invitational in Las Vegas and lost. Turnbull said there could not have been a better time for a confidence booster for Rader and his team.

“It’s been more difficult than he’s expected, being out for three years,” Turnbull said. “His body has not been cooperating, and we haven’t been able to train him real hard. He was losing some of his confidence and was very frustrated.

“Getting that win was better than anything he could ask for moving forward.”

Senior Donnie Jones and junior Matt Ryan also faced a pair of familiar Fighting Illini. At the 165-pound class, Jones downed Conrad Polz, and Ryan, at 184 pounds, earned a decision victory over Tony Dallago. Jones and Ryan fell to their respective opponents in Las Vegas.

“When you wrestle someone previously, you have a real good idea of what you’re going

up against,” Turnbull said. “As far as a revenge factor, our guys had a mindset of what they were going to set out to do to get the job done.”

The Mountaineers will indeed move forward with their first home meet of the season tonight at 7:30 p.m. in the Coliseum against Michigan State. It will be alongside the gymnastic’s team, in what is deemed as the “Beauty and the Beast” meet.

Since the thrilling win against Illinois, Turnbull said his squad has found a new energy at the perfect time, with a good portion of the season left.

WVU has not fared well against the Spartans, though.

Last season in East Lansing, Mich., MSU got the best of the Mountaineers, 24-9.

“It’s another challenge to where we’re going to have to wrestle well no matter the environment and another opportunity to perform at a high level against a great opponent,” Turnbull said. matthew.peaslee@mail.wvu.edu

Smith to have surgery today

BY TONY DOBIES SPORTS EDITOR

West Virginia junior to-be quarterback Geno Smith will have surgery today to repair a foot injury suffered over the summer.

Dave Kerns, WVU’s head athletic trainer, said Smith will be fitted with a cast or split for 10 days to two weeks following surgery. After that, Smith will wear a boot for a minimum of four weeks, depending on serial x-rays taken every two weeks. Smith is expected to be available for spring practice.

At this point, Smith would be out of the boot by Feb. 25, which would give Smith nearly a month without a boot prior to when spring practice is expected to begin.

No date has been set yet on practice.

Smith suffered a nonunion

fracture in July, to the same bone in his foot he had surgery on last January, after an offseason injury.

Smith will be on a waitand-see basis to participate this spring, Kerns said.

“We knew it all season long,” Kerns said following the Mountaineers 23-7 loss to N.C. State in the Champs Sports Bowl. “We knew at the start of the season he would have surgery again in January.”

Smith said via Twitter in December that he will participate in “all spring training and spring ball.”

Smith was fitted for an orthotic on his foot after an xray showed a change in the healed bone and Smith felt some sharp pain in that area.

Kerns said the surgery will place a “fatter” screw in the fractured bone to gain a better alignment of the bone.

Smith felt no pain this season, despite the injury, and Kerns said it did not limit his play.

“He has an unstable fracture, so we have to do the surgery,” Kerns said. “For the long-term, we’d like to have a bone in one piece.”

Smith was the Big East Conference’s most efficient passer last season. He threw for 2,763 yards and 24 touchdowns – a school record for sophomore quarterbacks.

Smith ran for 217 more yards on the already-injured foot.

Smith is expected to be a key cog in new offensive coordinator and coach-in-waiting Dana Holgorsen’s offense.

“I’ve seen a little of Smith from the Pitt game, and he seems to be a big, physical guy that can throw it pretty well,” Holgorsen said in December. anthony.dobies@mail.wvu.edu

Huggins continues to fix WVU issues

By Brian Kuppelweiser Sports Writer

In Bob Huggins’ 29 years as a head coach, he has dealt with many problems with his teams such as lack of offense or defense, chemistry issues, injury and graduation.

This season, however, might be the first time in Huggins’ career that he has had to deal with all of those issues at once.

But, midway through the season, it appears as if Huggins has begun to solve many of those problems.

“Huggs does a great job of imposing his will on teams,” said WVU point guard Joe Mazzulla. “You could be in a defensive drill that is supposed to last 15 minutes, but it may go on for an hour and 15 minutes, so you have no choice but to know how to do it.”

The top issue Huggins wanted to get clear with his players is that they needed to play together, rather than as individuals.

Guard Casey Mitchell was at the center of this message, despite being the team’s leading scorer.

Mitchell found himself on the bench in crucial situations during games this season due to the fact that he was trying to create within the offensive system instead playing within it.

“Huggs told us we don’t have that one player that we can just go to when we need to keep up,” Mitchell said. “We

Flowers now ranks sixth in WVU history with 121 career blocked shots.

It marked the third game this season in which Flowers

have to have a team effort.”

Huggins sending a message is something all too familiar to Mitchell, as he was also the intended target on occasion last season, the senior said.

“He told me everything that was wrong and nothing that was good,” Mitchell said.

“I was like ‘oh man’. It kind of hit me, and from then on, I learned a lesson to work hard and pay attention every day in order to learn.”

Huggins also had his hand in the Mountaineers’ latest win over Big East Conference opponent Georgetown on Jan. 8.

The victory came following a practice that Huggins called one of the worst he had ever been associated with.

But, the coach held a team meeting afterward and asked for someone to “take ownership.”

Mazzulla says that it was one of the keys to the Mountaineers upset win.

The team came together, especially defensively against one of the top backcourt in the country.

“Getting five guys on the same page, as far as defensive rotations, and playing with the kind of the intensity we needed to play with, really helped our confidence,” Mazzulla said.

With the team’s confidence rising, Mitchell says the environment at practice has even lighted a bit in the past week.

“Guys are definitely happier around each other,” has finished with at least five blocks.

“I didn’t think I’d come in here and score this much,” he said. “My first shot fell, and they all started falling from there. Thank God they kept falling.”

It took Flowers just 1.5 minutes into the second half to surpass his season high when he scored on an assist from Truck Bryant on a fast-

Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim, right, talks to Brandon Triche against Drexel on Dec. 22. Syracuse won 93-65.

By Brian Kuppelweiser Sports Writer

Last season, the Syracuse basketball team won the Big East Conference regular season outright behind the efforts of a group of juniors and seniors.

This season, however, the Orange’s roster sports just one senior, but SU is finding similar success. Syracuse has started 17-0 this season, including a 4-0 mark in the Big East.

“There is no question, last year we had two guys that could be starters that came off the bench,” said Orange head coach Jim Boeheim. “This year is different in that we have four newcomers that are playing.”

By having a large group of underclassmen, Boeheim said it has taken a large amount of experimentation to settle with a regular lineup.

“It has been interesting to try and work those guys in there,” Boeheim said. “We have a contrast between the guys that have a tremendous amount of experience versus guys with none.”

One thing that has made the transition easier on Boeheim’s team is his trademark 2-3 zone, which forces the team to work the ball around for shots. Syracuse holds the 27th-best scoring defense in the nation, giving up 59.8 points-per-game.

Boeheim said the team has had to work more defensively this season. But it has paid off as Boeheim considers it one of the best in Orange history. The coach attributes its success to the team’s length.

“We are bigger than we have ever been when we have certain guys in there,” he said. zz Another team that has started the season off well is Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish were picked to finish at the middle of the pack in the preseason. But, head coach Mike Brey has his team with a 14-3

record, and ranked 14th in the country after a 76-71 victory over St. John’s on Jan. 8.

“Coach Mike Brey has really organized them, and you can tell they have bought into playing a very cohesive brand of basketball,” said St. John’s coach Steve Lavin. “They will be the most efficient offensive team we will face this year.”

Lavin says it is Notre Dame’s ability to play at different speeds which makes the team so dangerous to play against.

“They take advantage of the transition opportunities on the break when they present themselves,” Lavin said. “They are also willing to work the shot clock in the half-court offense.” zz Seven Big East teams entered the week ranked inside the AP Top-25 and is considered one of the best conferences in the country. One reason some are giving the league that title is its exposure on ESPN’s Big Monday telecasts.

Louisville head coach Rick Pitino says the league’s level and style of play is what attracts a TV audience.

“The Big East is a television conference, and Big Monday is part of that,” Pitino said. “The league caters so much to television, which is a good thing, because no matter when you turn on the television, there always seems to be a Big East game on.”

Pitino said Big Monday will continue to help the league’s reputation, despite its so-called shortcomings in football.

“In this day and age where football has taken over in popularity and ratings, the Big East is one of the throwback leagues that relies on basketball,” Pitino said. “It is great exposure for the conference, and it allows us to do the recruiting job nationally because of the amount of exposure we get.” brian.kuppelweiser@mail.wvu.edu
