City still has housing issues from 2005

By Devon Unger Staff Writer

The Morgantown City Council hired a consulting firm to prepare a survey of barriers to fair housing at their regular meeting on Jan. 18.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development requires an Analysis of Impediments to fair housing every five years for all entitlement communities receiving funds from the federal Com-

munity Development Block Grant.

Morgantown last completed an AI in 2005. In that AI, Urban Design Ventures, a consulting firm, identified 13 impediments and provided recommendations for action to eliminate them.

Dave Bott, Community Development Director, said the city has begun to address the impediments contained in the AI, but that it is an ongoing process.

“We sign a certification ev-

ery year saying we will further fair housing,” Bott said. “If you sign the certification, you say you’re going to do it.”

He said some of the issues with the American Disabilities Act compliance identified by UDV do not necessarily apply to HUD’s fair housing requirements. The city has taken steps to ensure ADA compliance, including the adoption of the 2009 International Code Council building codes, which have disability requirements for new structures or struc-

tures undergoing renovations.

Bott said Morgantown does have a Human Rights Commission, but because of a lack of complaints, they do not meet regularly. Instead, the city cooperates with the Northern West Virginia Center for Independent Living, a fair housing information program, providing advocacy for fair housing practices.

To increase affordable housing, the city adopted a

Former astronaut honors 25th anniversary of Challenger explosion by lydia nuzum Correspondent

Jon McBride, retired NASA astronaut, lectured on his personal experience and the life of late Challenger crew member Ronald McNair Thursday at West Virginia University in an event hosted by the McNair Scholars Program.

McBride, a Beckley, W.Va., native, was a friend and classmate of McNair during their time at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

McBride said he was watching during a training session on Jan. 28, 1986, when the Challenger tragedy occurred.

Four of the Challenger crew members were McBride’s own classmates. McBride said had they been Matt Sunday/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM alive today and approached Speaking in regard to the 25th anniversary of the space shuttle Challenger explosion, Jon with flying another mission, McBride, former astronaut and WVU alumnus, said, ‘It was like losing seven brothers and they would have all accepted sisters.’ without hesitation.

“One of the things we found out on that day was that we were working people too hard,” McBride said.

Provost Michelle Wheatley said she could remember exactly what she was doing 25 years ago when the Challenger launched. She was an assistant professor in Florida at the time, and she remembers watching the launch with some of her colleagues, she said.

“Of course, more than half of the people who are here tonight are under the age of 25,” Wheatley said.

All seven members of the Challenger crew died when the spaceship exploded on Jan. 28, 1986, shortly after it was launched.

McNair was the second African-American to fly into space. The McNair Scholars program was established in his honor later in 1986 after

Zumba master offers classes for Children’s Hospital by sarah o’rourke staff writer

“Ditch the workout, join the party!” Zumba’s official slogan will bring life to West Virginia University students and faculty this weekend.

Zumba educational specialist Erick Santana will be teaching master Zumba classes on Saturday and Sunday and donating the $20 fee to the WVU Children’s Hospital.

Anyone is welcome to participate in the class, and all the proceeds from the class will go to the WVU Children’s

Hospital, said Pascha Adamo, Bennett Tower Residence Hall Coordinator.

“The money Erick usually makes by offering these classes usually goes towards his travel expenses, but this time he’s donating it out of the goodness of his heart,” Adamo said. “He gets really sentimental about WVU because he’s met so many good people here and really enjoys Morgantown.”

Santana has been coming to WVU for several years to teach Zumba basic one training certification classes for instruc-

tors, Adamo said.

Santana likes to bring instructors from the WVU and Morgantown communities together and have a master class, so new instructors can meet current instructors and new people during the process, she said.

“The class is a great way to network within the Zumba community and just come together all as one for a celebration for a great cause,” Adamo said.

Six other instructors from the WVU and Morgantown communities are also taking

part in the master class on Friday, she said.

Adamo said each instructor will add his or her individual Zumba instructing style to the class, and Santana is going to end the class with a grand finale.

“Zumba is really a wonderful group exercise class,” Adamo said. “You see a variety of ages and fitness levels at every class and everyone gets a workout on their own level while having fun. That’s the appeal of Zumba.”

Armed with a snow shovel and a clipboard, a West Virginia University Student Government Association member is preparing his petition to run for City Council.

Nelson France, SGA’s city council liaison, has been canvassing Morgantown’s third ward the past two days, shoveling snow and collecting 47 of the 75 signatures required to run.

“Last night I was running around with the shovel. I’d say last night I shoveled about 10 driveways, steps and also sidewalks a little bit,” France said. “I’m just going out and meeting people, telling them about what my ideas are, what platforms are important to me, and so far it’s been a very positive response.”

Once he collects all the required signatures, he will make a final decision on

whether or not to run. France decided to collect the signatures first, because if he did decide to run it would ensure him a spot on the ballot.

So far, France has been pushing the pavement by himself, and, because of the campaign he wants to run, it is likely to stay that way.

“I think the best way for me to be a responsible candidate is to do a lot of this on my own. When I’m going out and meeting people, what better person to talk about not only the work Student Government (Association) has done, but what the student body has done to improve the relationship with the community,” France said.

SGA President Chris Lewallen said he thinks France’s strategy and his work with the community relations initiative will help him earn votes. He thinks

National study says those who sleep with pets are sick more often by gina damato staff writer

A new study to be published next week finds owners who sleep alongside their pets have a higher risk of getting sick.

According to the study, more than 60 percent of American households have a pet, and 14 to 62 percent let their dogs and cats sleep with them Publicized in Monday’s USA Today, the article quotes Bruno Chomel, a professor at the University of California-Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. Chomel’s study will be published in Emerging Infectious Diseases Journal next week.

According to Chomel, the bubonic plague, chagas disease and cat scratch disease can all be attributed to sleep-

ing with pets.

William Unger, a freshman general studies major, said his cat, Mr. Kitty, isn’t allowed to sleep on his bed.

“I think it’s unnecessary,” Unger said. “If they have anything they carry on their fur, we can contract it.”

Most students however, say there is nothing wrong with having their dog or cat nestled in their bed.

Joshua Raymond, a West Virginia University senior exercise physiology senior, currently owns a pitbull named Pacha and said he doesn’t see any harm in his dog.

“I don’t think that my dog is diseased,” he said. “I think that study is meaningless.

Equestrian team makes final round of tournament

BY CHARLES YOUNG STAFF WRITER

The West Virginia University Equestrian team will attend the Winter Classic, the third and final event of the Tournament of Champions.

The tournament is an invitation-only horse show to be held Friday through Saturday at Chatham Hall Boarding School in Chatham, Va. The team is currently ranked in first place.

“Being nationally ranked gives us an opportunity to receive these invites,” said Kristin Skeweris, a freshman member of the team.

“Getting invited to all three events in the Tournament of Champions is a very honored accomplishment.”

The city has held annual training seminars for realtors and developers on both fair advertising practices and fair construction practices. Bott said the city would continue this practice. The city designated April as fair housing month, as part of its policies to promote fair housing.

A computerized list of rental properties has been compiled, but inspections are still only required every one to three years.

City Manager Terrence Moore said the city will do what it can to increase the frequency of rental inspections.

The team has previously participated in the tournament’s first two events, the Preseason Classic and the Holiday Classic, earning an overall sixth place ranking in the competition.

It has won all of this years events but one.

Miranda Cain, the team’s captain, is currently the highpoint rider for her division in both open flat and fences.

“It’s an honor to be able to go the tournament. I’m excited that we have the opportunity to take our new members to a higher level of competition before the end of our year,” Cain said.

The team, which is coached by riding instructor Debra Fields, practices twice a week in Uniontown, Pa.

During the 2010 season, the Equestrian Team went to Nationals in Lexington, Ky., and placed 11th out of 18 teams.

This season, the team is on its way to a repeat performance, Skeweris said.

In 2009, the team placed ninth during the Nationals competition.

Members of the equestrian team say they hope their success will change people’s perceptions of showing horses.

“The team is somewhat unheard of because ‘equestrian’ isn’t in the average person’s vocabulary,” Skeweris said. “We want to change that. We want to show that we’re like any other sport.”

spect properties, the city may be able to reallocate existing resources.

“Before making the recommendation that we need an additional this or an additional that, the first step involves any opportunities to evaluate if existing resources can be realigned to solve the issue at hand,” Moore said.

When the previous study was conducted, a landlordtenant law was being considered by the state legislature.

However, Bott said this failed to make it to a vote. The 2005 AI recommended Morgantown support this bill. Bott said while the bill did not pass, other steps have been taken locally, and similar legislation could be passed at the local level.

“There is a monthly meeting with landlords, code enforcement and the fire marshals to discuss these issues.

So they have become more user-friendly with tenants to some degree,” Bott said.

“It may be something where ordinances can be put in

place. That would have to be brought to their (city council’s) attention.”

Bott said his daughter experienced landlord problems while in Morgantown, but things have improved some due to the increased communications.

The city is also in the process of completing a new comprehensive plan, and Moore said he would include any steps needed to further address any barriers to fair housing.

“Anything that is not yet completed will be incorporated into the comprehensive planning process as well. That will take care of the rest.”

Bott said addressing these issues is an ongoing process, and he hopes once the new AI is completed it will help identify ways Morgantown can continue to improve.

West Virginia lawmakers consider Marcellus drilling rules CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — The Legislature on Thursday began this session’s discussion of how to handle West Virginia’s share of the Marcellus shale natural gas field.

House Judiciary counsel Joe Altizer told a joint meeting of the body’s Judiciary and Finance committees that the reserves represent the state’s biggest natural resource development since the discovery of mineable coal.

The vast, mile-deep shale underlying several Eastern states promises to become the nation’s richest developable natural gas field “in our lifetime,” Altizer told his House chamber audience.

“I call it the gas gold rush,” Altizer said.

Analysts estimate that the field holds trillions of cubic feet of gas – enough to provide for U.S. needs for 20 years, according to Altizer.

An industry-funded West Vir-

ginia University study, released this week, says economic activity linked to Marcellus drilling created 7,600 jobs and almost $298 million in wages and benefits in the state in 2009.

The report by WVU’s Bureau of Business and Economic Research, done for the West Virginia Oil and Natural Gas Association, said more than 2,800 state permits have been issued for Marcellus wells and that drilling is under way in 45 of the 55 counties.

But with enormous potential profits come considerable costs.

Companies spend $3 million on each well they drill and can have multiple wells at a given site, Altizer said, citing industry figures.

The high-tech, horizontal drilling also involves hydraulic fracturing. Also known as fracking, this process involves pumping large volumes of water mixed with chemicals into wells at high pressure to crack

open rock and release gas.

These operations carry other potential costs, Altizer noted.

Area landowners complain of damage to well sites they lease to drillers, and to area roads traveled by heavy industry trucks. Other concerns include the chemicals used in fracking, the large pond-like impoundments that store water from the process, and whether the fracking water contaminates area drinking supplies.

One pending bill proposes rules meant to address these various concerns. Crafted by a House-Senate interim committee that studied the issue over the past year, it also proposes hefty hikes for drillers.

Permits now cost $400 or $650, depending on the type of well. The interim study bill would pay drillers $15,000 to apply for a permit, $10,000 to modify it and $5,000 to renew it annually.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia took a first step Thursday toward holding a special June 20 primary for governor, after the Senate Judiciary Committee endorsed the measure.

The committee advanced the bill to Senate Finance after rejecting an attempt to change the primary date to May 10. But it did amend acting Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin’s proposal to include one Saturday in the primary’s early voting period.

Tomblin earlier proclaimed an Oct. 4 special general election for governor, after the state Supreme Court ruled that West Virginia must have an elected chief executive no later than Nov. 15.

The date marks the anniversary of when Tomblin, the state

Senate’s president, began acting as governor under the state constitution. Fellow Democrat Joe Manchin created the vacancy when he resigned after winning a special election for U.S. Senate last year.

The justices unanimously required an election because Manchin had more that a year left in his term. They also left intact the party convention process for nominating candidates for special elections. But the decision noted as well that lawmakers could switch to a primary instead.

Tomblin chose June 20, West Virginia Day, to save costs by use of a state holiday, his general counsel, Kurt Dettinger, told the committee. He said it would also give election officials at least 90 days from the

legislation’s passage to schedule candidate filings, early inperson voting, and overseas military and absentee balloting.

“We’re not 100 percent married to that date,” Dettinger said.

Secretary of State Natalie Tennant, West Virginia’s chief elections officer, had consulted with Tomblin’s staff in drafting the bill. But the failed datechanging amendment reflected concerns among county officials because June 20 falls on a Monday.

Tennant officials said county clerks could get ready the previous Friday and Saturday for the primary, avoiding Sunday work.

After Thursday’s meeting, Kanawha County Clerk Vera McCormick told Judiciary Chairman Corey Palumbo that she and her counterparts would prefer a late May primary.

While senators appear generally supportive of replacing party conventions with a primary, the House of Delegates saw differing opinions emerge in floor debate Thursday.

WVU must rebound from loss

Foul trouble could further trouble WVU Depth was expected to be an issue for the West Virginia men’s basketball team this season.

That was with Noah Cottrill, Kevin Noreen, Dan Jennings and Casey Mitchell.

For the time being, the Mountaineers will have to play with just eight healthy scholarship players, at least until Mitchell comes back from his indefinite suspension. That’s why they are going to have a tough time winning games down the stretch this season – and maybe even getting into the NCAA Tournament.

Take Wednesday night’s game against Louisville, for example.

There is no question the Mountaineers would have won the game had Mitchell been on the court. Surely, you could assume he would’ve been able to hit a couple of shots at some point during the 13:41 span when West Virginia didn’t make a field goal.

Mitchell will be back, eventually. But he’s not going to take the court for at least another game.

Still, even when the senior returns, this will not be a deep team. And that will wreak havoc for WVU throughout the late part of the season, especially with six of the next 10 games being against teams currently ranked in the top 25.

One thing this team has been poor at all season long has been staying out of foul trouble, especially the big men.

With Jennings out of the picture and Noreen done for the year thanks to a knee injury, the cupboard is pretty bare for West Virginia when it comes to low post players.

Of course, Kevin Jones is there, but the other spot in the lineup will be shared by the combination of Deniz Kilicli and Cam Thoroughman.

While Jones is usually good about staying out of foul trouble, the other two are a different story. Both Kilicli and Thoroughman are often called for fouls and have spent their fair share of time in the first half on the bench this season due to being called for a couple of early, sometimes not smart, fouls.

If Jennings is on the bench, this isn’t always such a bad thing. But, with him gone, it now becomes a bigger problem for West Virginia.

Let’s use the Syracuse game later this season as a hypothetical example. What if Fab Melo and Rick Jackson can get both Kilicli and Thoroughman in foul trouble early in the game, forcing the pair to the bench?

It’s probably safe to assume Bob Huggins would then go with the group of Jones, John Flowers, Mitchell, Truck Bryant and Joe Mazzulla.

That looks like it would probably would be one of West Virginia’s better lineups, and it could easily do well against some of the conference’s quicker teams like Villanova and Marquette. But against a team like Syracuse, who has one of the better frontcourts in the Big East Conference, that lineup severely lacks a reliable low-post presence.

Then, just think how bad of shape WVU would be in if either Mazzulla or Bryant (or both) find their way into foul trouble, which isn’t an unusual occurrence.

AP

At the conclusion of Wednesday night’s game against Louisville, West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins poured over the stat sheet at the podium during his postgame press conference.

Huggins could not help but shake his head at what he saw.

Just days after the team’s leading scorer, Casey Mitchell, was suspended indefinitely, it was expected forward Kevin Jones and guard Truck Bryant would pick up the scoring load.

That, however, did not happen, as the duo shot 19 percent (4-for-21) from the floor and had 17 points in the team’s 5554 loss to Louisville.

“We didn’t make any shots,” Huggins said. “When you don’t make shots, things will get a little tighter.”

Not only were Bryant and Jones key contributors to a drought that saw the Mountaineers go more than 13 minutes without a field goal, but each also struggled from the free-throw line.

Bryant, in particular, had four crucial missed free throws in the waning moments of the game, two of which would have given the Mountaineers a three point lead.

“As an 80 percent free-throw shooter, I should not miss my last four free throws,” Bryant said. “Those are some clutch free throws, and I am going to man up and take the blame for that.”

With WVU playing with just eight healthy scholarship players, one person did step up and try to will his team to victory.

Point guard Joe Mazzulla, who is not usually known for his scoring touch, netted 18 first-half points, also was a career-high.

“I told Joe yesterday that he was our secret weapon,” Huggins said. “He has really worked hard at shooting the ball, and we changed his mechanics back to what they were when he was making his shots.”

Mazzulla, though, went cold just as Jones and Bryant in the

“He had a couple shots that just laid on the rim, but other than the 18 points in the first half, you have to make some shots,” Huggins said.

Mazzulla said the team must rebound from the loss because of its upcoming daunting schedule. Eight of West Virginia’s next 11 games are against opponents currently ranked in the top 25.

“We have to forget about it, because we have another Big East road game that is just as important as this one,” Mazzulla said. “We have to learn a lesson and not let another one slip through our hands.” brian.kuppelweiser@mail.wvu.edu

WVU women to face toughest test yet vs. No. 12 DePaul Injured Ali likely won’t practice for rest of season

By John Terry Multimedia Editor

The No. 9 West Virginia women’s basketball team might face its toughest test yet when it travels to play No. 12 DePaul on Sunday.

The Blue Demons (202, 7-0 Big East Conference), which have already claimed one victory over a top 10 team – a 20-point upset of then-No. 4 Stanford – will try for another against the Mountaineers (19-2, 5-2).

Tip off is 4 p.m. in Chicago.

“This will be the best team we’ve played. This is going

to be a big game for us,” said West Virginia head coach Mike Carey. “We haven’t proved anything yet. We haven’t beaten a good team on the road.”

Even though DePaul comes in with a perfect conference record and just two blemishes on its overall record, DePaul head coach Doug Bruno isn’t letting it get to his team’s head.

“We’re 7-0 against what would be referred to as the bottom of the Big East, with one exception in St. John’s,” Bruno said.

DePaul defeated St. John’s on the road, when the Red Storm was ranked No. 18 in the country. The Blue Demons have yet to face No. 2 Connecticut, No. 9 Notre Dame or No. 21 Georgetown.

Carey said Thursday that Ali probably won’t practice for the remainder of the season. Ali played 17 minutes against South Florida and 25 minutes against Georgetown since being diagnosed with the fracture.

Carey said other players would have to step up in Ali’s place, because the injury will affect her conditioning.

“We have to go with what we have,” Carey said. “Do we want her in games, or do we want her in practice?”

The Mountaineers will have to fare better on the defensive side of the ball than they did against Georgetown.

West Virginia, which allowed Georgetown to score 65 points Tuesday, will have its hands full against a multifaceted DePaul offense.

The Blue Demons have four players averaging double figures in scoring.

“We’re going to have to play straight-up defense,” Carey said. “We can’t cheat on any one person.”

Keisha Hampton leads the way, scoring 15.6 points per game. Seniors Felicia Chester and Sam Quigley are scoring 11.7 and 10.8 points, respectively.

Quigley will be a key for the Mountaineers to stop. She’s connected on a team-high 41 3-point shots. In her last Big East game against Cincinnati, she scored 23 points on a career-high seven 3-pointers.

“She makes them go,” Carey said. “She can score, but she can also put the ball in people’s hands that can score.

“She’s the total package.” john.terry@mail.wvu.edu

State legislators should pass bullying bill Bullying is a tragic and an all too common occurrence in our nation’s school system, and thousands of students every day deal with the hardships that coincide.

But, Delegate Meshea Poore (D-Kanawha) is on the right path to relieve the students who are being denied a safe education.

Poore’s bill, which has been filed in the WV House of Delegates and was sent to the House Education Committee, will broaden the definition of bully-

ing and rely on different methods to correct the problem.

The bill will attempt to not only help the victims, but also the students who are doing the bullying. It is a great idea to be proactive when dealing with the problem.

To many people, this is not a new subject. Bullying has been a problem in our schools for a very long time, and it is a problem that’s not going away on its own.

While it is uplifting to hear one of our state legislators is

making positive strides toward ending this longtime issue, all other Americans can, and should, do their part to help.

Communicating with children who are either the victim or the aggressor is a key defense.

If there is an apparent problem, talk with the child in a comfortable setting.

Don’t let him or her think he or she is alone or he or she has no one to turn to.

There are many ways to be bullied in today’s world. Children aren’t just getting beat

up and having their lunch money taken. Many are victims through the web, text messages, verbal assaults, and even adults can be victimized in the work place.

Some argue “sticks and stones may break your bones, but words can never hurt.”

However, statistics show words do hurt.

According to ABC News, nearly 30 percent of students are either bullies or victims, and 160,000 kids stay home from school every day because

of bullying.

It may not be an issue that can be eliminated or at least any time soon. Common expressions like “kids will be kids” tell us we can’t change children.

But kids can be taught right from wrong. Isolating a fellow classmate with constant torment and ridicule is wrong behavior and can be corrected.

The bill brought forth by Poore is a step towards that goal. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

To win the future, we must invest in research and education michael levy Columnist

Fifty-three years ago, Americans were shocked to learn the Soviets had beaten us into space.

Now we need to realize the Chinese are beating us into the clean technologies of the future, and we should respond like we did to Sputnik.

President Obama suggested in the State of the Union Address we need to increase investment on research, education and infrastructure. Those suggestions are critically important.

The Chinese, along with others, are kicking our butts all over the place. They have the fastest computer, the best students and the cleanest energy research.

Obama called this “our generation’s Sputnik moment,” and I hope it will be.

Sputnik scared the pants off

of Americans, and that led to massive investment in science and education.

That’s what it took to beat the Soviets to the moon, and that’s what we need now to have any chance at keeping up with the Chinese.

When the Soviets put the first man-made object into orbit, the reaction was hysteria. Senator Mike Mansfield morbidly warned, “What is at stake is nothing less than our survival.”

That fear, and the realization we weren’t the best in the world in math and science, drove a massive effort.

The National Science Foundation’s funding for research was more than tripled in just a few years.

NASA and DARPA were created. School curricula were rewritten to focus on math and science.

The National Defense Education Act provided hundreds of millions of dollars for education.

As a result of those policies,

11 years later, we beat the Soviets to the moon and won the space race.

Climate change and renewable energy are our Sputnik.

We all ought to be as scared of climate change and the Chinese developing the technologies for a post-fossil fuel world as Senator Mansfield was of Soviet satellites.

The arctic is getting warmer, sea ice is melting,, and sea levels are rising. Storms are growing more violent, more often.

Flooding, landslides and wildfires are increasing.

A decade ago, we spoke of climate change in terms of the future; well, that future has become the present.

A decade ago, warnings of peak oil were thought to be crazy; then, oil production peaked in 2005.

Whether it is because we burn all the fossil fuels, or because we get our act together on climate change, clean energy is the future.

Knowing that, do we want to dig in on fossil fuels, drill every

last well, see if maybe Manhattan won’t end up under water and let China get even further ahead of us technologically?

If not, we need the policies Obama suggested Wednesday night, and we need them on steroids.

Obama avoided many specifics in his speech, but he did say he wants to increase funding for basic research to levels “we haven’t seen since the height of the Space Race.”

At the same time, he announced a five-year freeze on domestic spending. How those two will fit in the same budget remains to be seen.

He said he wants to cut subsidies for oil companies and use those funds to invest in clean energy. The end of subsidies for companies that pollute our water and befoul our air, while producing the largest profits in the history of the world, should be a no-brainer.

But, the oil industry is mighty in Washington. It remains to be seen whether Obama’s suggestion can withstand the opposi-

tion it will generate.

Republicans almost certainly will oppose the transfer of subsidies from oil production to renewable energy development (the GOP took $17.8 million from the oil and gas industry in the 2010 election, compared to $5.6 million for Democrats). Also, they will more than likely oppose increased spending on research, development and education.

Imagine some senator in 1958 arguing that the National Defense Education Act was an unprecedented expansion of the federal government, was socialist in character and we ought to cut taxes instead.

That’s what they’re doing now. The top tax rate in 1958 was 91 percent.

Last month, Republicans shut down Congress to prevent the richest American’s marginal tax rate from increasing from 35 percent to 38 percent.

I know Republicans think debt is the greatest threat to America. But we shouldn’t hesitate to increase investment in

education and research because of it.

Our deficit is a major issue, but it’s not urgent enough to compromise investing in our future. The global average of debt as a share of GDP is 58.3 percent. Ours is 58.9 percent.

We have spent well over a trillion dollars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the Bush tax cuts just for the wealthiest Americans cost over $400 billion a decade.

Finally, the economic recovery is too fragile to withstand deep cuts in spending. Government spending stimulates demand, which increases national income. One lesson we must take from the Great Depression is that focusing on deficit reduction too soon after a crisis is a very bad idea.

Obama is right that China is beating us. Dealing with climate change via clean energy technologies is the battle of the future, and we need all hands on deck now if we’re going to repeat the successes we had in the twentieth century.

My hypothetical conversation with WVU’s weather-watchers Tony Dobies Sports Editor

Morgantown turned into a snow-filled parking lot again Wednesday afternoon. As usual, when more than a few inches stick to the roads, they become nearly impassable.

Tires were spinning on streets, and boots were slipping on sidewalks. It was just an average snowy day in Morgantown.

And West Virginia University remained open through the brunt of this.

Some main throughways, like Willey Street and Falling Run Road (which connect to University Avenue) were closed prior to officials deciding to cancel classes at 4 p.m.

At 3:08 p.m., the number of road closures became so vast, Monongalia Emergency Centralized Communications Agency 9-1-1 stopped sending updated lists to the media and instead told those orga-

DA

nizations to check a website that would be updated periodically. By 3:30 p.m., there were 36 car accidents, two of which resulted in unknown or confirmed injuries, and 30 motorists who were assisted.

In total, 13 roads were closed in Monongalia County, and seven others – including University Ave. - had traffic problems reported.

The Daily Athenaeum spoke to WVU’s Vice President of Administration and Finance, Narvel Weese, Wednesday, following the decision – in part made by him – to cancel evening classes at the University. While I was not part of this, my conversation with Weese would’ve looked something like this (Weese’s following comments were taken from that interview): WEESE: “If you look at the road conditions, they really didn’t start to deteriorate until about 2 o’clock.”

ME: Actually, The DA received its first e-mail from MECCA 9-1-1 at 12:43 p.m. regarding road closures. Prior to 2 p.m., The DA started to

receive photos via its Twitter account of students’ dangerous treks to class. Photos from newspaper photographers showed roads beginning to be covered by snow prior to noon.

At which point, many nonSUVs had trouble making it even around the downtown campus. Sidewalks were also a danger to students, as many were seen slipping and falling.

WEESE: “There’s a point in the process where you have to be concerned about students’ ability to get to class.”

ME: Yea, that was at noon.

The shear fact of the matter is that students shouldn’t be motivated to go out in those horrid conditions – not by classes or by the lack of a strong decision maker at this University.

WEESE: “Our classes that take place after 4 o’clock are graduate classes.”

ME: There are in fact 86 classes under the 400-level that took place starting after 4 p.m., according to the University’s course schedule website. Two of those classes

were University 101 classes.

WEESE: “We have people monitoring this all day and all night. If the governor calls for a state of emergency, if MECCA asks us to stay off the road, that’s what we’ll do.”

ME: You need to check your e-mail. MECCA sent something out at 1:56 p.m., requesting “motorists to stay off the roadways unless travel is absolutely necessary. Roadways have become extremely hazardous.” Even at 12:43 p.m., MECCA considered the road conditions to be “very hazardous.” At this point, are you more worried about an education than the health and safety of your students? Is that too late?

WEESE: “How old are you?”

ME: I’m old enough to drive and to be able to tell you these road conditions suck. How old are you?

WEESE: “OK, well I think you should know whether or not you feel comfortable leaving your house and falling on a sidewalk.”

ME: So, you won’t tell me how old you are? (shrugs) As a

college student that makes it a priority to follow my syllabi, I don’t want to skip a class and risk failing when a professor is firm about not cancelling a class his or herself prior to the University doing so.

WEESE: “Then, I think we need to raise this issue with the provost.”

ME: OK, I’ll try to set up a meeting with her right now …

(Picks up phone) Hi, I’d like to set up a meeting with Provost Michele Wheatly … Oh, she’s busy. Well how about tomorrow? … No. Oh, OK. Maybe next week? … How about in March, you say? It will probably be sunny by then. Thanks for your help, though. (Angrily slams phone). That’s not going to work, Narvel.

WEESE: “Until MECCA or the governor’s office, or someone who is in charge of the county or state’s public safety, say that we have a problem, we don’t really feel we’re in enough of a position to cancel classes or close the University. We’re not dealing with kindergarteners and first-graders.”

ME: We are not in kindergarten or first grade. But, we are people.

WVU students – and faculty and staff for that matter – aren’t just a demographic; We are living, breathing, human beings with the ability to slip and fall or drive into a wall.

In fact, as I sat in my car in traffic Wednesday afternoon, I saw one student walking back from class slip six times in a two-foot area.

This University and its administrators tell us all the time to create change, to educate others and to be a step ahead of peer institutions.

It’s funny, considering Wednesday those same officials were waiting for others to make a decision to cancel classes.

WEESE: “The problem right now really isn’t the snow and ice, it’s getting the salt trucks out to try to treat the roads.”

ME: Do you have a window in your office? If you don’t, try to set up a meeting with Wheatley. You need one ASAP. anthony.dobies@mail.wvu.edu

WRESTLING

WVU travels to Lock Haven Mountaineers return home to

By Matthew Peaslee Sports Writer

With five Eastern Wrestling League Championships in the past 20 years, West Virginia has formulated its own recipe for success.

Despite being consistently seen as a front runner to win the EWL, the 2009-10 campaign told a different story.

The Mountaineers finished 3-3 in conference meets and fifth in the 2010 EWL Championships.

This year, however, the Mountaineers (6-4, 2-0 EWL) are proving last season was just a fluke.

After opening with backto-back wins over Bloomsburg and Clarion last weekend, WVU will try to maintain

its EWL lead when it travels to Lock Haven Saturday at 7 p.m.

“It usually is a battle between us and someone else to win it,” said WVU coach Craig Turnbull. “This year, it should be similar.”

That’s not to say he is taking any team lightly. After all, the Eagles (2-9, 1-5) are coming off their first conference win over Cleveland State.

Turnbull said the key to Saturday’s match – and the matches for the rest of the season for that matter – are the matchups in each meet.

He cited three Lockhaven wrestlers, 125-pound Nick Hyatt, 133-pound John Trumbetti and 141-pound Matthew Bonson, who all picked up wins last weekend, as poten-

Bruno hopes team learned from 2010 loss to WVU

By John Terry Multimedia Editor

Last season, the West Virginia women’s basketball team ended DePaul’s run for a Big East Conference title. According to DePaul head coach Doug Bruno, his team was “schooled” in its 47-41 loss to the Mountaineers last March.

Bruno hopes his team learned something from that loss and uses it Sunday when the Mountaineers and Blue Demons face off again.

“You hope to think you’re going to learn from every game you play,” Bruno said. “When you get schooled, you either learn, or you don’t learn.”

Motivated WVU worries Bruno West Virginia’s loss Tuesday against No.-19 Georgetown makes Bruno a little uneasy.

“It’s tough enough to play against a (WVU head coach Mike Carey) coached team when it’s coming off five or six wins, much less coming off a loss,” Bruno said.

The last time West Virginia lost two-straight games was in Feb 2009, when, ironically enough, the Mountaineers fell to Georgetown on the road.

“It makes it all the more difficult to play against a very good West Virginia team when they’re coming off of a defeat,” Bruno said. “West Virginia is going to be that much more hungry.”

ESPN broadcast Sunday’s game between West Virginia and DePaul will be televised on ESPNU. It will be the first appearance this season on an ESPN network for both teams.

Bruno said having women’s basketball nationally

SCOUTING REPORT – In the Blue Demons’ last Big East contest, DePaul beat Cincinnati to improve to 7-0 in the conference. It also marked the 19th season in the program’s history the school has reached the 20-win plateau.

– DePaul is coming off a 90-43 win over New Jersey Institute of Technology. The game was originally scheduled for a Dec. 29, but had to be rescheduled due to a snow storm.

– Four DePaul players – Anna Martin, Sam Quigley, Felicia Chester and Keisha Hampton – average double figure scoring. Hampton leads the bunch, averaging 15.6 points-per-game.

close games with its depleted roster, the rest of the season will be tough.

I’ve said it before: If Huggins can turn this team around and make a run late in the season, it will probably be his best coaching job of his career.

If this team can make a run after losing a game to Marshall, a teammate and a heart breaker to Louisville in a span of one week, it will be a remarkable job and a true testament to the work the players and coaching staff have put into this season. james.carvelli@mix.wvu.edu

“The matchups in wrestling are the things that change the game,” Turnbull said. “Lock Haven will present us with some unique challenges because of the wrestlers they have (at those positions).

They are wrestling well.”

Perhaps the strongest part of the Mountaineers’ lineup comes at those three spots, as well.

Sophomore Shane Young, sophomore Nathan Pennessi and freshman Michael Morales, at 125 pounds, 133 pounds and 141 pounds, respectively, have been a sparkplug for WVU this season.

host EAGL foes Pitt, Rutgers

By Sebouh Majarian Sports Writer

The West Virginia gymnastics team is looking to bounce back after two-straight losses.

WVU (2-2, 0-1 East Athletic Gymnastics League) faces two opponents it has had success against – Pittsburgh (2-1, 0-1) and Rutgers (1-2, 0-1) – Saturday at the WVU Coliseum.

The Mountaineers have a combined 97-12-2 record against those teams, including a 48-0 mark against Rutgers.

West Virginai has won fourconsecutive matches at the Coliseum, dating back to last year.

“They feel very comfortable competing in the Coliseum,” said WVU head coach Linda Burdette-Good. “They do get excited, because a lot of their families make it out to watch.”

The Mountaineers dropped their last two meets against No. 5 Georgia and No. 10 N.C. State.

Burdette-Good believes the Mountaineers could have won the last two matches, but have been able to use those losses to make some minor adjustments.

“Our goal is to get a little cleaner,” she said.

The Mountaineers haven’t lost to Pittsburgh since 1991.

WVU won last year’s match

with a 190.55 performance.

“We’ve been very competitive with Pittsburgh,” Burdette-Good said.

Despite falling out of the top 25 rankings, the team is still ranked nationally on floor, beam and vault. The Mountaineers rank No. 23 on floor (48.638) and beam (48.3), and No. 24 on vault (48.606).

WVU still ranks fourth in the Southeast Region, trailing Florida, Georgia, and N.C. State.

The Mountaineers lost their matches against the Gym Dogs and Wolfpack, and will meet the Gators later this year. sebouh.majarian@mail.wvu.edu

HOROSCOPES

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR

Tonight: Join your friends.

BORN TODAY This year, funnel your energy into networking and achieving a long-term desire. Friends play a major role in your plans, achievements and year. Learn new ways of communicating by observing another person’s style or maybe taking a seminar. Though you cannot control someone, you can phrase your desires in a way that he or she might feel more receptive to. If you are single, your friends prove to be instrumental in a new relationship. Give this person your special type of friendship as well as other caring. If you are attached, the two of you cheer each other on toward success. SAGITTARIUS keeps making suggestions!

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHH Try to be easygoing. A partner, friend or associate assumes a dominant role concerning a mutual interest. Know when it is worth fighting city hall. Let others express their personality, wishes and ideas. Just be a listener. Tonight: Get some exercise.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHHH Often, what you accomplish seems impossible, but your ability to detach and see different paths pushes you toward success. You like problems; you love finding solutions. A meeting or friendship cascades over the edge of normal. Tonight: Take off ASAP. TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHHH Note someone’s effort to enlist your help.

Whatever the issue might be, you have a lot to gain by participating. An older person or boss actively pushes you. A key associate points the way. Tonight: Visit with a special friend.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHHH You might feel as if you are giving up your power, but honestly, that isn’t what’s going on. Others simply take the stage, demonstrating their personality and ideas. Through this process, more opportunities emerge. New facts come forward.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHHH The twinkle in your eye and even the way you walk announce the weekend. Still, focus on certain tasks at hand. Express your unusual ingenuity when clearing your desk and setting up a meeting next week. Tonight: Lead the gang. Frolic away.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHH The less said, the more you will accomplish.

Consider adding a new touch to your work area. Funnel your attention carefully. Someone might be doing a lot of squawking, trying to get you to notice him or her. Which is more effective: Ignoring this person, or giving him or her a few minutes? Tonight: Squeeze in a stressbuster. No excuses, please.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHHH You have the gift of telling someone off, yet he or she might not realize it until hours later. How you use your innate charm and verbal skills is your call. A child or new friend keeps trying to get your attention. Your creativity flourishes when you feel cared for. Tonight: Favorite person, favorite spot.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHH Know when to turn in a new direction. Presently, you might want to do some reflecting and evaluate your choices. A personal

or domestic problem dominates, despite your attempt to mentally let go. Tonight: Take a break with friends.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHHH Move with confidence, knowing your choices are sound. Someone in your immediate environment might decide to confront you. Listen rather than trigger. Know that his or her criticism might have more to do with perception than reality. Tonight: Soaring like an eagle into the weekend.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHH Take your time. Understanding will evolve the more you eye a problem. There are answers, though you might not see them immediately. Your instincts beat heavily, especially concerning money. Still, walk a conservative path for now. Tonight: Get much-needed peace and quiet.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHHH You are about to succeed in a major goal or desire. Funnel your energy into clearing out a last-minute boulder, and don’t allow frustration to beam in. A meeting could focus you once more. Others want to participate in a key goal. Tonight: Finally, relax with friends. Celebrate.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHH You could be more irritated with a boss, older friend or relative than you realize.

The other party receives a lot of your subconscious signals. Focus on the immediate, and stay out of emotional politics. Tonight: Schedule some talk time.

50 years of music: Soup Camel a local blues legend

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT | 7

Morgantown Theatre Company to perform modern spin on classic tale by christina gutierrez correspondent

The Morgantown Theatre Company is set to perform “Once Upon A Mattress,” a musical comedic spin on the children’s tale “The Princess and the Pea” this weekend.

The company is a nonprofit organization for children with interest in theatre, and offers ages five through 11 a chance to perform for the community.

MTC Program Manager Kristen Shunk said the musical puts a modern tale on a classic in a fun and entertaining way.

“The play does for ‘The Princess and the Pea’ what ‘Wicked’ did for ‘The Wizard of Oz,’ Shunk said. “It proposes to tell the ‘real’ story.”

This humorous tale stars Princess Winifred, or Prin-

cess Fred, as one of the many princesses vying for the love of Sir Dauntless the Drab.

Dauntless’ mother, Queen Aggravain, proposes a series of tests to see if the princesses are worthy, and places a pea under a stack of Princess Fred’s mattresses to test her sensitivity.

“That’s where it kind of comes back to the ‘Princess and the Pea’ story,” Shunk said, explaining the classic references throughout the play.

The musical is narrated

by The Minstrel, played by 15-year-old High School Freshman Jeron Amoroso.

Amoroso, who is also acting as Assistant Director to the Executive and Artistic Director Hillary Phillip, has been part of the company for eight years.

With aspirations of per-

forming and directing on Broadway, MTC has given Amoroso great exposure to the theatre.

“This was the first time I’ve gotten the opportunity to direct, so I’m having lots of fun with that,” Amoroso said.

The cast has been preparing for the production since October, and are more than excited to share it with the theater lovers of Morgantown.

“I think audiences of all different ages will enjoy it,” Shunk said.

The show begins tonight at 7p.m. at the Historic Metropolitan Theare located on High Street.

It will also show Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m.

Prices are $10 for adults and $8 for children under 12. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Chris Brown regains focus on music myspace

Motown Minnie K, left, and Soup Camel, right perform.

by alex mcpherson correspondent

Once there was a camel.

But instead of water, his hump stored music.

So much music, in fact, it nearly exploded all over Morgantown, causing a great mess. That was until he started playing. And, not only was he better for it, but so was Morgantown.

“I hadn’t played out in 40 years. And then one day, I was sitting on my porch and thought, ‘Man, this is stupid, why don’t I go and play some music?,’” said Roland Hunn, also known as Soup Camel.

Since his youth in a small New Jersey town called Riverton, Hunn has had a love affair with music.

Starting with piano lessons and self-taught guitar, Hunn soon found music could be not only a release, but a lifelong hobby.

“I grew up when The Beatles first came out, and everybody wanted to be in a garage band.

But we didn’t really have a garage. We were more of a carport band,” Hunn said, of how he got his start.

Although boyhood dreams

of rockstars and billboard hits didn’t pan out, 50 years later, Hunn still plays for the fun of it.

Connecting with Mary Kay Stiles (known as Motown Minnie K) and her brother Alan Martin (known as the Beat Doctor), the trio now frequents dozens of venues in Morgantown to perform live.

“We have a good time with it,” Hunn said. “We bring kazoos and pass them out to the kids in the crowd, trying to get everyone into it.”

What started out as a cover of artists like Eagles and Linda Ronstadt has slowly developed into a mix of old blues and jazz from the ’20s, ’30s and ’40s.

The musician has also dabbled into writing his own original songs, taking influences from real Morgantown experiences.

“The song “Vince,” I wrote about two years ago. A friend and I went downtown, and we were playing on the corner and some homeless guys came up. We talked to them for a bit and walked down the street with them, and then they just walked off,” Hunn said. “Next day, I woke up and opened up my paper to a story say-

ing Vince had died. It shook me up. I had just met him and that night he died. So I wrote a song about him.”

When HGTV was filming a piece for its series “House Hunters” at Black Bear Burritos and the producers requested some background music, the venue knew who to call.

Co-owner Jason Coffman said he called in Soup Camel to “add a bit of color.”

“For us, it was kind of a nobrainer,” Coffman said. “If there’s going to be music on the show, Soup Camel would be the best fit.”

Hunn said though his TV time was short-lived, he is still thankful for the chance to share the local music scene on a national level.

“The show came out about two weeks ago, and we were on for about 3.5 seconds,” Hunn said. “That means I have about 14 minutes and 56 seconds of my 15 minutes of fame left, and I’m looking to cash in.”

Soup Camel plays at Black Bear Burritos tonight at 6:30.

Admission is free. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

‘wikiTheatre’ to bring comedic, behindthe-scenes look of play production to MAC by ashlie walter a&e writer

The M.T. Pockets Theatre Company will show audiences a comedic behind-the-scenes look at play production with “wikiTheatre: A Complete Idiot’s Guide to Theater for Dummies” tonight at 8 and Saturday at 11 p.m. in the Tanner Theatre of the Monongalia Arts Center. “wikiTheater” is written and directed by Steve McElroy, a graduate student at Fairmont State University.

The production will star Daniel Crowley, Kayla Hudimac, Morgan Messenger, Jere-

miah Ripley and Holly Wilson.

The story involves five theatre practitioners explaining their craft to the audience through performing skits on famous shows such as Macbeth, and other theater aspects such as dry one-liners, insults, monologues based on wrong information, puns and running jokes.

The show will appeal from those who don’t appreciate theater to theater veterans and is recommended for mature audiences, according to Toni Morris, President of M.T. Pockets Theatre.

Morris said the company’s mission is to present new

works by local artists, and said McElroy has been a contributing member for five years.

“He is a clever, witty playwright. He does cutting-edge, funny stuff and we hope this will be to the same caliber as the others,” Morris said.

“This play will hopefully give a better understanding of the theater.”

Tickets are $8 for students, $11 for seniors and $13 for everyone else.

Tickets can be purchased at the door or on the M.T. Pockets Theatre Company Facebook page. ashlie.walter@mail.wvu.edu

NEW YORK (AP) — Two years ago, the Grammy Awards appeared to mark the end of Chris Brown’s career. This year, it is serving as a new beginning.

Life for the multiplatinum sensation dramatically changed on the eve of music’s biggest night in 2009, when he assaulted thengirlfriend Rihanna and both were forced to bow out of the ceremony. In the months that followed, he saw his reputation tarnished, he had to plead guilty to a felony, and his comeback CD, “Graffiti,” was a commercial disappointment.

But with the success of his hit “Deuces,” three nominations at this year’s Grammys and an upcoming CD and tour, the focus on Chris Brown has returned to his music, without adding the Rihanna-prefix.

“We feel good now that everybody’s talking about his music, which is exactly what Chris’ intention is,” said Tom Carrabba, the executive vice president and general manager of Jive Label Group, Brown’s home label since he released his first album at age 16. “I think when he was a little bit younger he

was still trying to find his way a little bit and fine-tune his craft, but I think over the last two years he’s absolutely developed a confidence and is very secure in his decisionmaking process.”

Brown is serving five years of probation after pleading guilty to felony assault for the attack on Rihanna in the early morning hours before the 2009 Grammys.

The Virginia native was commended in November for completing more than onethird of the required 180 days of community service and for almost finishing his domestic violence counseling.

“Deuces” is up for best rap/sung collaboration at the upcoming Grammys, where it will compete with Jay-Z’s “Empire State of Mind,” Eminem’s “Love the Way You Lie” and B.o.B’s “Nothin’ on You,” songs that are all up for the coveted record of the year award and had been No. 1 pop hits in 2010.

Carrabba says the Grammy nominations are “another step in the right direction for Chris Brown.”

Jive hopes his new CD will put Brown back on the path to phenomenal success that he blazed when he made his

debut as a teen.

“Some people might have forgot, but then once you see him perform, you understand the gift that he has,” Carrabba said.

One performance that brought his talents to the forefront was Brown’s emotional Michael Jackson tribute at last year’s BET Awards.

Mirroring Jackson’s signature dance moves while performing “Billie Jean,” he then started to sing “Man in the Mirror.” But he broke down in tears, fell to the stage, and couldn’t finish.

Stephen Hill, BET’s president of programming, music and specials and the awards’ executive producer, says Brown’s performance at the ceremony was “the turning point” of his rising return.

“Here’s a young man that made a very, very bad mistake and he was in danger in being marked by that event,” he said. “I think that moment and that tribute, we probably gave him another chance.”

He has had missteps: Last month, Brown got in a short Twitter war with former B2K singer Raz B, where some people accused Brown of being homophobic. He later apologized.

Alumni support ‘House WVU Built’ by jesse tabit a&e writer

The University Chapter of the West Virginia University Alumni Association will host a watch party for the WVU men’s basketball game against the University of Cincinnati Saturday at Chic ’N Bones Rhythm Cafe to support “The House that WVU Built.”

“The House that WVU Built” is a fundraiser that supports the Monongalia Habitat for Humanity.

The event will offer $5 wrist-

bands, which permit guests to receive a raffle ticket, light appetizers and drink specials, such as $2 draft beer and $3 mixed drinks.

Raffle prizes include a Big East Champs basketball autographed by WVU men’s basketball coach Bob Huggins and a pair of tickets to “Big Monday,” when the men’s basketball team faces the University of Pittsburgh.

Other prizes include a football autographed by WVU football players, tickets to the women’s basketball game

vs. Connecticut and golfing passes to the Greenbrier Luxury Resort.

A grand prize of an alumni gift package worth $1,000 will also be raffled.

“We’ve been planning this event for three to five weeks, and we are expecting to get over 100 people,” said Casey Quinlan, President of the University Chapter of the WVUAA. “Hopefully people will come out, support the event and watch WVU beat Cincinnati.”

All proceeds of the event will go directly to the local

Habitat for Humanity, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the elimination of poor housing and homelessness in the world.

The organization’s top priority is to make a decent shelter for people who are not capable of doing so on their own.

In 2009, a group of WVU students teamed up with the Monongalia County Habitat for Humanity to build a home for a disadvantaged Morgantown family.

The University Chapter and

other chapters around the country are coming together to support the WVU students, Quinlan said.

“We wanted to help, and we felt that this would be a good way to do that,” Quinlan said.

Quinlan said he and other members of the alumni association take pride in their time at WVU, and now that they are working professionals in the real world, they want to do what they can to support the community.

“This is a great opportunity for all of us to give back to the

community,” Quinlan said.

“People should come out for a great cause.”

Chic N’ Bones is located at 444 Chestnut St. If you would like to make a donation, a check can be made to Mon. Co. HFH/House WVU Built, P.O. Box 858, Morgantown, WV 26507.

To contact the Monongalia County Habitat for Humanity, call 304 292-0914.

The event begins at 7:30 p.m. jesse.tabit@mail.wvu.edu

Morgantown Ice Arena to offer public, private lessons by ashlie walter a&e writer

The Morgantown Ice & Sports Arena is now hosting private and public ice skating sessions on the weekends.

Lessons are taught by the Mason-Dixon Skating Club, a group formed in 1985 by dedicated skaters, and led by certified instructors, according to Alicia Marcucci, vice president of the club.

Marcucci said everyone is welcome to the club – young and old, professional and unexperienced – and must be skilled at skating backwards.

“We will allow members younger than six-years-old, but they have to be able to pay attention and not goof off,” Marcucci said.

The center will also host a “Skate from the Heart” Valentine’s Day Special Feb. 13 and a Spring event March 27, Marcucci said.

Both shows will be at 12:30 p.m.

Marcucci said while the private lessons are more advanced, the group sessions are focused on teaching the basics of “freestyle” ice skating.

Marcucci said a lot of lessons can be learned through the arena’s instructors, and many community members have taken advantage of what the club has to offer.

“We had six girls go to competitions last year, and this year we have 15,” Marcucci said.

Sundays are Family Days at the rink, and a family of four can enjoy the afternoon for $10 without skate rental and $20 with skate rental. Additional family members are $2 extra.

Public sessions will be held Friday at 7:30 p.m., Saturday at 1:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 1:30 p.m.

Admission is $5 for Adults, $4 for children and $3 for skate rental.

Personal lessons are also available Thursdays and Sundays and require pre-registration at a cost of $90.

This includes five 45-minute sessions and free skate rentals.
