Think Tank talks community issues

By Summer Ratcliff staff writer

Concerns about downtown safety and parking were discussed during the West Virginia University Student Government Association’s first-ever Morgantown Community Think Tank event Friday.

Members of Morgantown City Council, County Commission representatives and a University representative

were all present to hear students voice their thoughts and concerns about issues in the city of Morgantown.

Morgantown Mayor Jim Manilla said he truly appreciated SGA coordinating the Think Tank event.

“I think this is a really great thing. I really want to thank Randy Jones and the rest of SGA for putting this event together,” Manilla said. “Our elected officials are here tonight to lis-

ten – we really want to hear what the students have to say about these issues.”

The event gave students and community members an open forum to speak directly to elected city and University officials about issues ranging from downtown safety to parking and transportation.

Many students used the open forum to address concerns regarding safety while walking in the downtown

area. Suggestions to construct additional lighting and increase police presence were all discussed.

Community member Billy Smerka said he feels shutting down High Street Thursday-Saturday evenings should be discussed as an option for increasing the effectiveness of police patrols.

“Many other universities that I’ve been to shut down their main strip, and

they have a set route around the city for traffic,” Smerka said. “That way you can put more officers on foot, and the only traffic allowed on High Street would be police.

“With this type of plan, the areas could be monitored better and would allow Morgantown to be more safe for everyone,” he said.

Students asked city officials about increasing pedestrian lighting on downtown roads. Newly ap-

Relay For Life draws more than 1,600 people to support fight against cancer by jacob bojesson correspondent

More than 1,600 people from the Morgantown community joined hands Friday night in the fight against cancer.

West Virginia University hosted the annual Relay For Life in the Shell Building from 7 p.m. Friday until 7 a.m. Saturday morning.

Relay For Life is the largest fundraising event in the world, and it takes place in different cities across the world each April.

Student organizations and local businesses in Morgantown sold food and offered a variety of activities with all proceeds going toward cancer research.

This year’s Relay raised $107,000.

“It was way above our expectations. They had set a goal at $95,000, and at the end of the night it was at around $107,000,” said Leandra Hickman, community manager for the American Cancer Society. “It was inside, so we didn’t have to deal with rain or cold, and a lot of the teams had some really creative and fun fundraisers.”

The relay started when a group of cancer survivors walked a lap on the track before the rest of participants.

At the event, survivors expressed their appreciation for the collective effort to fight cancer.

“It’s emotional,” said Brett Barthelmess, a participant of the event. “You look at all these people walking, and it’s

A student organization created a Disney-themed booth to honor cancer survivors with birthday cupcakes.

For Morgantown residents, the “Wild West” just got a little bit closer.

Cowboys & Angels, a new Western apparel store in Suncrest Towne Centre, offers a variety of Western wear from boots to leather jackets.

The store opened in March, and since then, business has been exceeding the expectations of sibling co-owners Mari and John Bernosky.

While the store’s main focus is boots and jeans, they offer much more.

“We carry fancy jeans, Western jeans, fashion jeans – anything you might need to go to a concert – belts, hats, boots, all kinds of styles of boots, Western jewelry, purses and dresses,” Mari said.

The store has a consistent flow of new inventory coming in, meaning customers can always find something different.

“Morgantown hasn’t seen anything like this,” said Maddie Neff, an employee and junior agribusiness management student. “The closest that you can go is up to Lowry’s in Washington, (Pa.) and none of the col-

lege kids want to drive up.”

Cowboys & Angels started off as a small store in Pennsylvania and has expanded into Morgantown. The siblings still run Go Bling, a custom rhinestoning shop in Pennsylvania.

“If you wanted any logo done, we can do it in rhinestones,” Mari said. “If students on campus are going to a formal, we can custommake certain colors and rhinestone shoes to match dresses and headbands.

Anything’s possible.”

Cowboys & Angels has an extensive variety of boots for the whole family. A few of the brands they carry are

Nocona, Abilene, Corral, Roper, Ferrini and Lucchese at a range of prices. “We have the affordable line, a mid-line and an upper-line boot,” Mari said. “We can fit your budget and offer a layaway plan if somebody needs to come in and buy an expensive pair of boots.”

With summer coming up and football season on the radar, Cowboys & Angels is looking to expand its offerings.

“I’m waiting for football season to kick in,” Neff said.

“I know going to football games is nothing but shorts and boots, or shorts and

A group of men gave new meaning to the term “drag race” Sunday afternoon.

Participants in the Morgantown Rape and Domestic Violence Information Center’s Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event donned their best heels and walked one mile to promote awareness of rape and domestic violence.

April is Sexual Assault Awareness month, and the Morgantown RDVIC sponsored their annual Walk a Mile in Her Shoes. The event’s title is based on the saying: “You can’t know a person until you have walked a mile in their shoes.” Walk a Mile in Her Shoes takes the figurative saying to a literal and symbolic level, encouraging men to wear women’s high heels and walk a mile together.

“When you’re talking about rape (or) sexual assault, it’s seen as a women’s issue, and the purpose of Walk a Mile in Her Shoes is to get men involved, to say that they can take a place in this, too,” said Nnenna Minimah, Sexual Assault Response Team coordinator for the Morgantown RDVIC.

Minimah said the walk is as much an awareness tool as it is a fundraiser for RDVIC and getting men involved is key.

“You know, men can stand up and do something. Men are also victims, but men can stand up and say, ‘Hey, we need to put a stop to this.’ It’s just not something we want in our communities.”

While Walk a Mile in Her Shoes began as a movement in 2001, the event has spread worldwide, and this weekend marks the event’s fourth year in Morgantown.

“It’s been getting bigger and bigger every year, so we’re really happy that it’s grown,” Minimah said. “It brings attention to people.

‘Oh, what is this about? Oh, we get to see men in women’s shoes,’ So, they come and hear the message about it.”

Brittany Turley, a psychology student at WVU, said she got involved after workers from RDVIC came to her gender and violence class. She attended the event with Kayla Pomp, a nursing student, who said awareness-raising events such as these are encouraging.

Rasta Rafiki brings reggae to 123 Pleasant Street James yaria a&e writer

Dreadlocked, mellow and filled with reggae soul, Rasta Rafiki let the positive vibrations flow Friday night at 123 Pleasant Street.

A traditional reggae band sprung right from Morgantown itself, Rasta Rafiki brought their trademarked happy grooves for the audience’s spiritual dancing and overall enjoyment.

“This was my first real reggae concert,” said Dari Lewis, a senior public relations student at WVU. “I didn’t really know what it was going to be like until I heard the trumpets from the door.”

The reggae brass was coupled with funky guitar riffs and savory vocals from singer Derrick McDonald.

They’ve been playing together since 1990, and Rasta Rafiki has been performing at the bar since before it was called 123 Pleasant Street.

While both Rasta Rafiki and the audience they gathered were older and grayer than the average crowd on a regular night at 123, the youthful energy the band possessed, coupled with the small mix of students, created a fun, worry-free atmosphere for all to enjoy.

A gray-haired couple danced passionately together in the front row. Sporadically throughout the crowd, younger couples followed suit.

The audience of around 100 did not bring 123 to capacity, but the dancing and movement of the patrons

“The crowd is what makes reggae great,” said Ryan Walsh, a former WVU student. “You see older folks and kids dancing together because the music is all so timeless, and it sounds so similar to how it used to.”

After beginning their set only minutes after midnight, Rasta Rafiki played long into the night while their intimate cult following sang along to their more notable numbers.

Slightly contrived, the parity in each song sometimes made the show seem a bit

monotonous, but the casual movements to and from the bar by the crowd seemed to remedy the similarity in songs.

Opening for Rasta Rafiki was One World Tribe, who had a similar reggae sound and tone to their headlin-

Opera scenes fill Creative Arts Center

BY Noelle harris

Patrick Gorrell/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Rasta Rafiki not only played Friday, but also Saturday in Fayetteville and Sunday at the Mountain State Brewing Co. in Thomas, W.Va. Rasta Rafiki has no further concerts planned at present.

The West Virginia University Creative Arts Center came alive with the sounds and scenes of the opera this weekend.

With the direction of Robert Thieme, the WVU Opera Theatre presented its “Arias, Duets and Trios” set of Opera Scenes this weekend.

The program, which was performed by students, was comprised of scenes from famous operas from around the world.

Nine scenes were performed from operas including “The Marriage of Figaro,” “Vanessa,” “La Serva Padrona” and “The Dialogues of the Carmelites.”

All of the performances were fantastic. In particular, the scene from Gilbert and Sullivan’s “The Mikado,” the opening act from “The Old Maid and the Thief” by Gian Carlo Menotti, the first act from Otto Nicolai’s 1861 opera “The Merry Wives of Windsor” and Act 2 Scene 7 from Gaetano Donizetti’s “The Elixir of Love” were performed particularly well. The performers from these scenes were great in their roles.

Although “The Mikado” originated in 1885 in London with a full set and orchestra, watching a scene from it performed in the Creative Arts Center without a full set or orchestra

still proved a great experience. The simplicity of the accompanying piano with very little else going on made the performers stand out even more.

This was true for every scene. The opera scenes only had piano for music and very few props, so the performers were front and center, and they stood up to the challenge.

Gaetano Donizetti’s Italian opera, “The Elixir of Love,” was also a favorite because of its animated characters. The dialogue and interactions between Dr. Dulcamara and Adina brought laughter and applause from the audience, which shows great talent by the performers, director and original writer of the opera.

The scene from “The Old Maid and the Thief ” was another comical one that brought much laughter during the performance. It also included the most props, but that only helped the performers instead of taking away from what they were doing. Set in the 1930s on a radio show, it was almost like being right in the studio with the radio performers.

Daft Punk sets record on Spotify NEW YORK (AP) — Daft Punk has set a record on Spotify.

The music service says the French electronic duo’s song “Get Lucky” had the biggest streaming day for a single track on Friday in the U.S. and the United Kingdom. Spotify wouldn’t release the number of streams.

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’ “Thrift Shop” previously held the record for most streams in a day in the U.S. British band Bas-

tille had the title in the United Kingdom with the song “Pompeii.”

Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky” features rapper-producer Pharrell. It’s the first single from the group’s fourth album, “Random Access Memories,” due out May 21. It’s their first studio album since 2005’s “Human After All,” though the band scored the “Tron: Legacy” soundtrack in 2010. They won a Grammy in 2009.

University activities help students de-stress The school year may be winding down, but students are doing anything but.

Among the last-minute exams, presentations and projects, a daunting feeling has overcome the campus: finals week is approaching.

But for some, the finals themselves are the least of their worries. In fact, finals week is nothing compared to the dreaded “dead week.”

Ironically, dead week is notorious around West Vir-

ginia University for being the exact opposite; even though professors are held to the vague idea that no homework or quizzes will be assigned, the barrage of work due just before finals week is often half the battle to finishing a semester.

During a typical dead week here at WVU, the campus libraries are open 24 hours, and late-night studiers are just as common as those seen buried beneath

books and notes during the daylight hours.

In fact, the stress of dead week is so severe WVU has offered its chillWELL program since 2011, originally developed to “help students experience the world in a positive way.” ChillWELL offers activities to improve nervous system functionality, emotional stability and cognitive performance, as well as programs involving finger painting, coloring

and tea making, to name a few.

However, much can be said about the University’s intentions to reduce stress levels during a week that, for all intents and purposes, was meant to be as easy as possible so students may pull marathon study sessions.

While it is a commodity to have chillWELL programs and maximum library availability, the amount of labor

placed on students’ shoulders is nearly crushing at times during.

So, get plenty of sleep, eat well, hit the books and check out the chillWELL program in the upcoming weeks. And don’t stress out too much – it’s only dead week, after all. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Actions of few shouldn’t cause discrimination for many micah conkling columnist

When accurate news finally broke early Friday morning concerning the suspects of the Boston Marathon bombing, there was a mad media rush to figure out everything there was to know about Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev.

As soon as their names were revealed, it was reported they had ties to Chechnya, and the brothers’ Facebook pages and Internet doings were all posted for review by the public. On NBC, while the hunt for Dzhokhar was ongoing until Friday night, a former wrestling teammate of Dzhokhar and Tamerlan’s former boxing coach were interviewed and asked questions about the brothers’ behavior and character.

It was reminiscent of the media reaction to the Newtown tragedy in December. After Adam Lanza was identified as the shooter, his personal history and photographs were examined in detail. People asked questions like, “Was he bullied? Did he play violent video games? Did he have a mental illness?” etc.

To a certain degree, I understand the desire to know all there is about people who carry out tragic acts of violence.

There are countless biographies written about serial killers, as well as on Timothy McVeigh, the man who bombed the federal building in Oklahoma City in 1995, and Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris, the two

young men who killed 13 fellow students at Columbine High School. People, for better or worse, have a curiosity about the human psyche and what triggers people to do terrible things.

The danger, though – and it’s something that seems to happen every time a tragic event occurs – comes when we try to get answers, draw conclusions, and make claims based on the information surrounding the lives of the people who carry out such horrific acts of violence.

We don’t have to look much further than September 11, 2001, when the World Trade Center buildings were destroyed by al-Qaeda extremists orchestrated by Osama bin Laden. In haphazard patriotic and/or religious emotional reaction, a faction of the American public, after learning the men who carried out 9/11 were associated with al-Qaeda, associated their actions with the Muslim faith. Not only were hate crimes committed against Muslim-Americans, but many Americans developed a racism against Muslim-Americans – despite the Muslim-American community’s outward condemnation of the terrorist attacks.

Because the men who were to blame for the attacks on 9/11 looked like what Americans thought Muslims looked like, in a discriminatory and deranged turn, being or even looking like what was perceived as being a member of the Muslim faith was equated with being a terrorist. The result of this ig-

United States should maintain interest in stable Afghanistan alex velez-green harvard political review

America’s war in Afghanistan began in 1979 – not 2001 – when we supported the mujahedeen in resisting the Soviet invasion. When the Cold War ended in 1991, we left Afghanistan. We had successfully stopped communism’s spread, and the American public was understandably tired of spending lives and money in this faraway land. We are in a similar position today. We have killed Osama bin Laden and dismantled al Qaeda in Afghanistan, and we are rightly tired of fighting.

Tragically, we thought our interests in Afghanistan were met with the Soviet withdrawal in 1991, and our war fatigue kept us from seeing the bigger picture. But, Afghanistan is historically predisposed toward civil war, and a civil war there can have disastrous consequences. After all, the Taliban regime that won the Afghan Civil War (1994-2001) provided critical safe haven for Osama bin Laden in the period leading up to the 9/11 attacks.

We have to see past our

DA

war fatigue today and commit to preventing Afghanistan’s reversion to civil war because doing so is strongly within our interests. In order to achieve this goal, our top priority must be convincing Afghan ethnic groups and tribes to settle disputes within the political system.

To do that, we must decentralize the currently hypercentralized Afghan federal government.

Afghanistan is home to four major ethnic groups.

Civil war expert James Fearon argues that ethnic violence does not grow from inherent ethnic hatred. Rather, he says, it results when leaders build coalitions along ethnic lines to achieve political aims. The latter is exactly what has happened in Afghanistan. During the Afghan Civil War, the United Front (or, the Northern Alliance) organized Tajiks, Hazaras, and Uzbeks from the west and north to oppose the Taliban-led Pashtun army from the east and south. These ethnic alliances remain potent in Afghan politics and present the possibility that if the state fails post-U.S. withdrawal, then armed ethnic coalitions will once again vie for power.

Afghanistan, to be sure, has a long history of tribal

warfare. Although tribes form the building blocks of the ethnic coalitions that have historically fought national conflicts, most tribal fighting over the years has taken the form of turf wars. Such conflicts have helped to prevent Afghan unity for centuries.

For instance, although Mohammad Zahir Shah’s reign (1933-1973) saw relative peace, tribal disputes hindered development projects that would have helped make the peace more sustainable.

Ethnic conflict and tribal warfare occur when leaders – especially at the provincial- and district-levels – believe that settling disputes violently will be less costly and more beneficial than doing so within the political system. It must be our goal to create a system that proves the opposite: that settling disputes politically will be more beneficial and less costly. To prove this, such a system must demonstrate its abilities to consistently distribute public goods to local ethnic and tribal leaders, including federal funding and security, and punish those leaders who break the rules.

The U.S. began rebuilding the Afghan government in 2001, believing that a hyper-centralized

federal government was the best path towards building such a system.

But as Foreign Policy’s John Arquilla points out, this system does not yield efficient distribution of public goods because it is extremely difficult to build coalitions to pass legislation through the parliament, and the executive branch often intercedes in local projects. And, it cannot punish rule-breakers because it lacks the cohesion to develop a formidable security force.

My research shows that the best way to build an efficient and strong Afghan government is to decentralize it. Provinceand district-level leaders should be empowered to make most budgetary decisions within their territorial jurisdiction. This does not guarantee just allocation of federal funds. But, it does guarantee that local leaders will be incentivized to cooperate with the federal government in order to retain their wealth and power. Furthermore, decentralization will actually improve state capacity – and therefore its ability to efficiently provide public goods – by decreasing the points-of- approval needed for local security and development initiatives.

In order for decentralization to succeed, the federal government – not province- or district-level representatives – must be empowered to manage all foreign aid and investment contracts. This is critical because foreign support in particular provinces or districts could provide opportunities to sub-state militias to grow and challenge the federal regime.

Foreign support might also motivate militias to rebel with the promise of more money and supplies if they can expand their power.

For instance, China is currently investing in mineral extraction projects in Logar province. If China were to divert some investment funds to local leaders to help maintain an investor-friendly political environment, those funds could be used to build a provincial militia to challenge the regime in Kabul.

P rov i n c i a l leaders should be able to take a portion of the national revenue from aid and investments as a positive incentive to abide by the rules, while the remaining revenue should be distributed by the federal government across provinces on the basis of need. In addition, the federal government should disincentivize sub-federal leaders

from seeking foreign support by empowering security forces to punish leaders who violate the above arrangement. Finally, using monetary and political incentives, a collective security agreement can be arranged between all province leaders to punish those who break the rules under the assumption that any member’s defection is a threat to all.

The end result of this recommendation is to create a loose federal system in Afghanistan that simultaneously raises the costs of settling disputes violently and the benefits of cooperating within the political system. Under the proposed decentralization plan, leaders will understand that those who break from all leaders’ agreements to cooperate within this system will be punished by the remaining body. Given the cost of defection, they will see that abiding by the political system is the surest way to secure wealth and power over their territorial jurisdictions.

The implementation of this plan will take time and money. But, now is not the time to give in to war fatigue and let Afghanistan fall back to chaos, for doing so will only hurt us in the long run.

DAILY HOROSCOPES

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year you express a precision that is quite unique. Your attention to detail makes it possible to manifest a long-term desire. You have endurance and the ability to home in on what is important. If you are single, you could meet someone who gives you an instant case of butterflies. Explore what exists between you. If you are attached, the two of you will add a lot of romance to your bond. Virgo can be very critical.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH In your mind’s eye, you have a vision of what you want to do today. So many responsibilities and requests head your way that you have little choice but to proceed in a different direction. Be aware of a partner’s limitations. Tonight: Go with the moment.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHHH Allow your creativity to flow, and follow the winds of fate. You have the ability to turn a mundane chore into a happy adventure. Others appreciate your positive attitude and ability to transform the most difficult situations. Tonight: So what if it is Monday? Be naughty.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHH You could feel unusually tense about how much is being tossed on your plate. Though you might not want to say the words “stop” or “enough,” know that you can convey your preferences through your facial expressions and body language. Tonight: Head on home.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH Your words have impact, but perhaps they affect someone you would prefer they wouldn’t. A loved one could take a comment personally. Listen to your inner voice as to how far you can push this person. Be aware of your limits. Tonight: Meet a friend for a chat.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHH Tension keeps building, no matter what you do. Stay positive.

A partner or loved one will come toward you, as this person is determined to be with you. You could be eyeing something that could break your budget. Be careful. Is it really necessary? Tonight: Anchor in.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHH Recognize a tendency to go overboard.

You simply might be having too good of a time and not even realize it. Listen to your sixth sense, and it will point you in the right direction. Trust your judgment. You’ll make good decisions as a result. Tonight: Stay within your budget.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHHH Follow your whims right now. If you want to take off, do. You need a change of pace, so being in a different setting will be good for you. A friend could disappoint you at the last minute. On some level, you might be feeling like you have to make a choice. Tonight: Follow the music.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHHH Don’t allow someone to take your power away from you. You might decide to head your own way, no matter what happens. You could become emotionally exhausted from a conversation that goes on for way too long. Know when enough is enough.

Tonight: All smiles.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHH Know when a retreat is practical, and decide the correct move to make. You don’t want to step into an emotionally charged situation. You could feel insecure. Regroup and center yourself. The unexpected plays a strong role in your decisions. Tonight: Get some extra zzz’s.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH You might be too strong-willed right now without intending to be. A loved one or someone you were attempting to impress could distance himor herself as a result. Know that your way is not always right for others. Tonight: Indulge a partner.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHHH Deal with a partner directly. You know a situation could radically change, no matter what you do. Creative opportunities pop up from out of the blue. Don’t try to impress a parent or higher-up. You actually are likely to fall on your face if you do. Tonight: Out and about.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHH Defer to others. You might feel as though you have the best idea, but taking a step back will work out well for you. Focus on what is happening within your immediate group of friends. A response to an inquiry might be too late coming in.

Mountain Stage thrills Morgantown

Wythe Woods/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

English alternative rock musician Billy Bragg (center) livens the WVU Creative Arts Center during his performance at Mountain Stage.

charles young a&e writer

It’s three songs into the 792nd episode of West Virginia Public Radio’s Mountain Stage, and Larry Groce, who has hosted the show for its entire 30-year run, is lost in thought.

He sits in a wooden rocking chair, monitoring the show on a pair of headphones backstage at the Lyell B. Clay Concert Theatre in West Virginia University’s Creative Arts Center Sunday night. His eyes are closed; his fingers are locked behind his head keeping time against the right headphone, and there’s a placid smile on his face.

It’s the day before Groce’s 65th birthday, and he’s spending the night doing the same thing he’s done for the past 30 years: bringing live music and raw talent before a crowd of grateful, enthusiastic West Virginians.

“I get into it; I enjoy it and this is just always a real pleasure for me,” Groce said following the show, after he finished shaking hands with each of the evening’s five

performers and congratulated his show’s crew for another job well done. “Believe me, we’re grateful every week we can still do this; we don’t take this for granted.”

Throughout the show’s two-hour recording, audience members were treated to a mix of the classic and the modern as Amy Speace, a former Shakespearian actress turned singer-songwriter; Chicago-based folk singer Joe Pug; motherdaughter duo Suzzy Roche & Lucy Wainwright Roche; Texas country music legends The Flatlanders, and British political wordsmith Billy Bragg took turns sharing the Clay Theatre’s stage.

Like the 791 episodes that preceded it, Sunday evening’s performance of the long-running radio music program brought together a diverse cross-section of artists in an imitate setting for a performance unlike any other offered in the Mountain State.

Although each of the evening’s performers presented their own style, they all had one thing in common – all five were longtime friends of the show, making a return visit.

Speace accompanied her-

self on acoustic guitar as her bandmates Hannah Schroder and Josh Oliver played cello and rhythm guitar, respectively.

In what Groce would later call a “chilling voice,” Speace propelled her highly literary lyrics at the transfixed audience. Speace, who recently nearly lost her voice to an illness, said the frightening possibility caused her to take comfort in literature, which in turn helped inspire her music.

“I think of this music as conversations between characters I know and characters that I invent,” Speace said.

Roche, who is the ex-wife of singer-songwriter Loundan Wainwright III, and Wainwright Roche, their daughter, played selections from their latest collaborative album, “Fairytales and Myths.” To support the duo’s gentle pairing of harmonies, Mountain Stage house band member Bob Thompson’s piano added lush undertones. The two also covered The Beatles’ “For No One,” accented by the classical ripples of Thompson’s keys.

Pug, who wore a harmonica rack and furiously strummed his acoustic gui-

The Flatlanders introduce the Creative Arts Center crowd to their refined country sound.

tar, played both cover songs and material from his latest release, “The Great Despiser.”

Pug and his supporting bassist and guitarist continued the evening’s theme of highlighting roots and Americana music before handing over the stage to cult-country heroes, The Flatlanders.

The first incarnation of the west-Texas trio of singers and guitarists ran its course in the mid-’70s, releasing just one album before disbanding. After each of its members went on to successful solo careers, the project was reunited along with interest in the group.

Members of the Flatlanders have visited Mountain Stage for 23 years, bringing their distinctive blend of country, rockabilly and Texas shuffle to West Virginia.

The band’s members are all now in their 60s, but as Sunday night’s audience proved with their raucous applause, they sound just as tight and well-oiled as they did when they first began recording.

The evening’s final performance was given by the “bard of barking,” English folk-activist Billy Bragg,

who’s been shaping the landscape of music for more than two decades with his brand of heart-felt, angstridden sloganeering.

Stopping by Morgantown as part of an ongoing North American tour in support of his first studio release in five years, “Tooth and Nail,” Bragg and his band closed out Sunday’s show to tremendous audience response.

Bragg began his set with a pair of Woody Guthrie songs, the second of which he dedicated to America’s debate about health care. For “No One Knows Nothing Anymore,” from the new album, Bragg said was inspired by an article he read on economics, and he said he thought the song reflected people’s frustrations at the current state of the global economy.

Following his classic anthem, “Help Save the Youth of America,” Bragg raised his guitar up high and asked the crowd to consider the question, “What are politicians for?” before attempting to answer his own question with the evening’s final number, “The Sound of Ideologies Clashing.”

The crowd left the the-

ater to head home, and the crew began to pack up the equipment, but Groce still was smiling as he stood off to the side of stage, watching his guests talk to one another and his two small daughters dart in and out of the crowd.

His daughters don’t often get to attend the shows held outside of Charleston, W.Va., he said, as amps and racks of guitars are rolled off the stage to be put away. Even on nights when his children can’t be there, Groce said he still feels like he’s among family.

“This is West Virginia, and our state is about family. It’s about people who care about each other,” he said. “The show is like a family, and we’ve seen some of these people for 20 years.

They feel like our long-lost relatives that we only get to see at reunions.”

Mountain Stage will return to Morgantown June 2, featuring blues guitarist Sonny Lambert and other guests to be announced. To access an archive of shows, find out about coming events and purchase tickets, visit www.mountainstage.org. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

‘A LONG WAYS TO GO’

Redshirt freshman quarterback Ford Childress completed 14 of 21 passes for 169 yards with a touchdown and an interception in WVU’s Gold-Blue Spring

Mountaineer defense edges offense 35-33 in annual Gold-Blue Spring Game by nick arthur

associate sports editor

The Gold-Blue Spring Game provides fans with the opportunity to get a sneak peek of what to expect heading into summer camp.

The 2013 edition, though, has left many questions unanswered as spring camp comes to a close.

Although the Blue team (the West Virginia defense) defeated the Gold team (the Mountaineer offense) 4133 in front of an estimated crowd of 8,000 at Milan Puskar Stadium Saturday afternoon, head coach Dana Holgorsen is still unsure who his starting signal caller will be next season.

“Not only are we not ready to name a starter at quarterback, we’re not

ready to do that at about 20 other positions,” Holgorsen said.

Neither of the two players battling for the job – redshirt freshman Ford Childress and junior Paul Millard – separated himself from the other Saturday.

Millard, who has appeared in 11 career games, finished 16 of 27 for 185 yards and three touchdowns.

Childress completed 14 of 21 passes for 169 yards and a touchdown.

Despite neither quarterback distinguishing himself, there were still goals achieved.

“I’ve said this all spring – we’ve got a long ways to go,” Holgorsen said. “It was nice to see a couple guys step up and make some plays offensively and defensively.”

Game.

One of those players who made some plays was sophomore wide receiver Jordan Thompson.

Thompson, who also had an impressive spring game one year ago, grabbed nine receptions for 123 yards and three touchdowns.

Junior College transfer Kevin White had five catches for 72 yards, including an eye-opening 46-yard touchdown catch that included him bobbing and weaving through the West Virginia defense before breaking free.

“The guys are in good spirits,” Holgorsen said. “They’re eager, and I love their attitude and willingness to learn.

“The team that we field in September is going to look a lot

WVU running game in good shape cody schuler managing editor

I’ve never been one to put too much stock into a spring game. With several months before the start of the season and dozens of questions yet to be answered, there is no doubt things will look much different for the Mountaineers when they take the field for the season’s first game.

Admittedly, while watching Saturday’s Gold-Blue game, I was most intrigued by the play of quarterbacks Paul Millard and Ford Chil-

dress. We definitely didn’t see a clear-cut winner rise up and seize the day – but again, we shouldn’t have been expecting that.

Here are a couple of observations I came away with, following what I felt was a pretty good showing overall.

Even though junior running back Andrew Buie did not play in the game, we got a good first look at newcomers Dreamius Smith, a junior college transfer, and true freshman Wendell Smallwood.

West Virginia plays Maryland to 2-2 draw

By Meghan Carr Sports Writer

Two second-half goals from forward freshmen Kelsie Maloney and sophomore Kate Schwindel allowed the West Virginia women’s soccer team to come away with a 2-2 tie against the Maryland Terrapins Saturday at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium.

WVU is now 2-2-1, while undefeated Maryland fin-

ishes the spring season 5-0-1.

West Virginia head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown said she was proud of the team’s overall performance against Maryland.

“I thought, collectively, we did some very good things in our positional play.

The forwards did some very good things, so did the midfield and then back line, defensively. SoI thought over-

all our improvement was very good,” Izzo-Brown said.

Izzo-Brown said she was especially proud of freshman Maloney’s game on Saturday.

“I thought she was grea.

She had opportunities to create goals and finish goals, and that’s exactly what you want from a forward on your team,” Izzo-Brown said.

“Kelsie was very active and very hard for Maryland to

handle today. So I thought she had a very good game.”

The Mountaineer defense couldn’t stop some of the penetration by the Terrapins’ forwards in the first half. Defensive mistakes in the first half by the Mountaineers’ back line allowed freshman Maryland forward Alexis Prior-Brown to score in the fifth minute, giving the Terrapins an early 1-0 lead.

Maryland’s defense didn’t give the Mountaineer forwards many opportunities to score in the first half. The Terrapins’ defense trapped early and didn’t allow many passes by the Mountaineers.

Late in the first half, WVU forward Schwindel made two long drives, taking two shots at the goal, and both placed high on the crossbar.

The Mountaineers came out more aggressively and

ready to play in the second half.

Maloney scored the first goal for the Mountaineers in the 56th minute tying the game at 1-1. A one-timer from Schwindel allowed Maloney to direct the ball past sophomore Terrapin goalie Kristene Mumby.

BETTER THAN EVER

SPECIAL NOTICES

Garrison more confident, ready to rebound from disappointing sophomore season by amit batra sports writer

patrick gorrell/the daily athenaeum

Junior running back Dustin Garrison ran for 58 yards on seven carries Saturday.

After a 291-yard performance against Bowling Green his freshman year, it was clear junior running back Dustin Garrison would be the future of West Virginia.

Then a devastating knee injury prior to the Orange Bowl happened.

The 5-foot-8, 182-pound Texas native played in 12 games his freshman season, starting in eight of them. Garrison finished No.6 in the Big East Conference in rushing that season – rushing for 57.1 yards per game. The junior also ranked No.1 on the team with 742 yards in 2011.

In 2012, however, Garrison ran for only 207 yards and two touchdowns, due to the lingering injury.

Garrison could be the starting rusher in what head coach Dana Holgorsen calls the best rushing attack since he’s been in Morgantown.

“I like where we are at running back,” Holgorsen said. “(Garrison) was very unsure of himself early. He’s making cuts that he used to make; his confidence is getting better.

He looks a heck of a lot better than he did a year ago.”

During Saturday’s GoldBlue Spring Game, Garrison had flashes of his old self with his vast array of cuts to create space. He had 7.3 yards per rush and a total of 51 yards on the afternoon.

“It felt great going out there and making the cuts I was making before,” he said.

“All the running backs have

something different about them – for me, it’s I am patient. That’s my key and how I approach the game. Right now, I am 100 percent, and my mind is where it needs to be.”

Garrison’s renewed confidence may come as a motivational factor to some of the new running backs such as junior college transfer Dreamius Smith.

The experienced rusher has become more vocal in his third year at West Virginia.

“I just think that with me and (Andrew) Buie getting a lot of reps, I feel like offensively, a couple guys lean on us more than other people.

We don’t mind being more vocal than last year. Last year, we were still learning, but this year we’re the older guys. I feel like from a leader’s standpoint we’re doing a good job.”

Garrison said it was great to be back out on the field carefree and not have to worry about the knee being sore or even re-injuring it.

“I definitely know I can go back to the running back I was before,” he said. “If not, even better. My body is better than it’s ever been. My mind is on the right track, so I would say that I’m ready to make plays this season.”

With Garrison looking like his old form, WVU can become that much more of a balanced attack with its running game back and better than ever. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

WVU sets personal bests at Perry Ellis Invitational by kevin hooker sports writer

The West Virginia track and field team traveled to Princeton, N.J., this weekend where several Mountaineers had personal-best marks at the Perry Ellis Invitational.

Senior Heather Adams led the way in the hammer throw Froiday with a personal-best mark of 54.55 meters. The mark is the second best in program history.

Adams also earned fifth place in the discus throw with a mark of 44.40 meters. Sophomore Karissa Knabenshue came in 10th place (39.25m), and junior Brittney Thomas came in 12th place (39.09m).

Junior Sarah Martinelli came in 12th place in the 1,500-meter run with a time of 4:30.11.

Most importantly, we saw the resurgence of junior Dustin Garrison, who for the first time in more than a year looked like his true self on the field again. Even head coach Dana Holgorsen said he felt good about how the team seems to be stacking up in the backfield.

Junior Chene Townsend placed fourth in the 100-meter hurdles with a time of 14.47 seconds. The 4x400 relay team consisting of Ashanti Bess, Shakiyla Cosby, Arielle Gaither and Christa D’Edigio placed fifth with a time of 3:54.16.

Gaither’s 400-meter hurdles (1:04.13) were both personal bests. Sophomore Allison Kimble finished in 19th place in the 3,000-meter run with a time of 10:33.57, also a personal best.

“Katlyn Shelar, Stormy Nesbit, Sydney Cummings, Chene Townsend, Heather Adams and Sarah Martinelli are all starting to come around at the right time,” Cleary said. “Another weekend and another program-best in the pole vault should have Shelar very confident heading into the championship portion of our schedule.”

The Mountaineers will split up next weekend, with half the team headed to the Penn Relays in Philadelphia, while the other half will travel to Ashland, Ohio, for the Ashland Alumni Open.

Junior Stormy Nesbit wins the long jump this weekend at the Perry Ellis Invitational.

to regain full health last season.

But Garrison admits he’s back to his old self this spring, while registering 58 yards rushing on just seven carries.

“I’m just 100 percent.

My mind is where it needs to be, and I’m ready to play again,” he said.

Fellow running backs Wendell Smallwood and Dreamius Smith combined

for 70 yards, rushing on 14 carries, and they will provide depth in the backfield next season to complement Garrison and Andrew Buie, – who didn’t play due to injury.

The West Virginia defense allowed more points last season than any other in program history.

But, the Mountaineer defensive unit held the WVU offense to just 3 of 11

on third down, allowing just 255 total yards.

Keith Patterson has taken over as defensive coordinator and has made some changes to schemes.

From this point, the coaching staff isn’t able to coach the team until summer workouts begin in 14 weeks.

Many of the assistants will turn their attention to

recruiting, while the players will decide how much emphasis is placed on football-related workouts.

“Everything is voluntary from this point on. Now, it’s in our seniors’ hands.

What type of team do you want to be,” Patterson said.

“This is the time to build that team chemistry, which is very important.”

In the 73rd minute, Schwindel scored as the ball she launched into the box deflected off a Maryland defender and sailed into the net.

The Mountaineers got several more opportunities to score in the second half, but they were all stopped

by Terrapins goalie Mumby, who made several saves that afternoon. Both teams would volley back and forth for the rest of the game.

After a few mistakes in the first half, the Mountaineer defense played stellar the rest of the game. WVU’s defense held Maryland to

one corner kick, while the Mountaineers had four corner kick opportunities.

The match against Maryland was the second-to-last game of the spring season for the Mountaineers. IzzoBrown said she has seen improvement over the last five games and is ready to start

building the 2013 team.

The Mountaineers will play their final match of the spring season Saturday at 2 p.m. against Kent State at the Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium. Admission is free to the public.

Mountaineer fans at wide receiver and gave hope he will carry over a strong spring into the regular season. Fans will no doubt recall last season when his solid spring performance didn’t translate to tangible results during the season.

I think this year will be different, though, and Thompson will finally emerge as the key player he showed glimpses of during his first year in Morgantown.

The Katy, Texas, native snagged six catches for 123 yards – three of which went Thompson shines again for touchdowns. With forSophomore Jordan mer Mountaineers Stedman Thompson once again awed Bailey and Tavon Austin

headed to the NFL, someone will have to step up and replace a majority of their production; I think Thompson can be the guy who does that.

for it following the departures of Bailey, Austin and Geno Smith, there are a lot of questions that need answered.

The quarterback situation is an obvious one, but issues along the offensive line and the secondary will also linger until the season starts.

The Mountaineers have the schemes, but will they have the personnel to carry everything out as planned? Even last year – in some aspects – that was a problem until the end of the season.

It’s going to be a long and fun summer.

popped a hamstring; Garrison looks like the guy he was two years ago and Wendell Smallwood has exceeded all of my expectations coming straight out of high school.

“All four of those guys showed glimpses of being able to carry the ball, and they all bring something different to the table.”

To me, the strides the running game has been able to make this spring will pay dividends in the fall, regardless of who lines up under center.

Long way to go all around Again, I’m not one to take too much away from a spring scrimmage four months before the season.

A lot of things will happen between now and then that will alter just about everything we watched Saturday.

Although I think there is potential for this team to do better than the dismal season some have projected

West Virginia head coach Randy Mazey gives a batter a signal during a game against Texas Tech earlier in the season.

West Virginia takes two of three from Longhorns, improves to 23-18 on the season

By Connor Murray Sports Writer

The West Virginia University baseball team made its first visit to Austin, Texas, this weekend and came away with two victories in three games against the Longhorns, clinching its first series victory on the road as a member of the Big 12.

Friday’s game proved to be a pitcher’s duel as WVU sophomore Harrison Musgrave and Texas sophomore Parker French controlled the game, keeping batters guessing all day.

Musgrave pitched a com-

plete game shut-out, earning the win for the Mountaineers while striking out nine Longhorn batters and scattering six hits.

With the win, Musgrave’s record improved to 6-1 on the season while his earned run average dropped to 2.70.

The game was knotted at zero until the top of the eighth inning, when sophomore Bobby Boyd hit a sacrifice fly to center field, scoring sophomore Billy Fleming and giving the Mountaineers the 1-0 lead. Boyd’s RBI proved the game-winner, as the Longhorns were never able to scratch out a run.

French pitched well in a losing effort, working 7.1 innings and giving up one earned run while striking out seven Mountaineer hitters.

Saturday was a game to forget for the Mountaineers, as Texas scored five runs in back-to-back innings in the fourth and fifth and never looked back on their way to a 12-0 win.

Senior Dan Dierdorff took the loss for WVU, pitching four innings and giving up eight earned runs. With the loss, Dierdorff’s season record dropped to 2-5 on the season while his ERA grew

to 4.78.

Sophomore Dillon Peters earned the win for Texas, striking out six Mountaineer hitters, while only surrendering four hits in 8.0 innings of work.

Extra innings were needed in the deciding game of the series Sunday as the Mountaineers topped the Longhorns 6-3 in 10 innings, clinching their first series win on the road in the Big 12.

The Mountaineers were led on offense by junior Jacob Rice as the left fielder went three for five with three runs batted in, a run scored

and his second home run of the season.

Junior Corey Walter worked 4.2 innings in relief of starter John Means. Walter struck out four Longhorn hitters and only surrendered two hits.

With the game tied at three going in to the top of the tenth, when RBI hits by Billy Fleming and Bobby Boyd gave the Mountaineers a 6-3 lead.

Walter gave up a walk and a single to the first two batters he faced in the bottom of the tenth, prompting head coach Randy Mazey to call for junior Pascal Paul

to come out of the bullpen to try to record the save for WVU. Paul immediately shut the door, inducing popups from the first two batters he faced and recording the game-winning out on a ground out to junior first baseman Ryan McBroom.

With the win, the Mountaineers’ record improved to 6-6 in the Big 12 and 23-18 overall. The team will return to action Wednesday as they travel to face Youngstown State with first pitch scheduled for 6 p.m. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
