City Council talks abandoning roads by victoria madden correspondent @Dailyathenaeum

The Morgantown City Council discussed the vacating, annulling and abandoning of Suzanne Road and Doris Road Tuesday.

Nancy Ganz, Seventh

Ward Council Member, said the roads are not presently used and are not needed for street purposes. Ganz said she believes they can be used for public use.

Ganz wanted to state her concern that this is taken out of the city land bank and is being put into the private

profit of the person who recieves the property.

By the count of 6-1, the ordinances were passed on to the next meeting. Ganz voted no to both.

Daniel McCullen, a Morgantown resident, had concerns about a house on Madison Avenue in Morgantown.

The city hired a firm to create a recommendation on how to safely eliminate the mold and asbestos in the house. The cleanup was to be addressed in a way so as not to contaminate the nearby houses. “(The home is) beginning to get cleaned up, and (we

are) very happy about that,” McCullen said. “We are concerned about seeing the safety progress, and I don’t think that is what we are seeing here.”

McCullen and a number of his neighbors have become concerned about this matter. He also said three of

his neighbors have noticed a problem with mold in their houses. He said these cases may have come from the contaminated house.

The next meeting is the Committee of the Whole on Sept. 30 at 7 p.m. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

‘DON’T COUNT WEST VIRGINIA OUT’

WVU student takes on Miss America, spreads domestic violence awareness by caroline peters staff writer @dailyathenaeum

This past Sunday, Paige Madden competed in the annual Miss America competition in Atlantic City as Miss West Virginia. Upon arrival, Madden said she was prepared to show America how proud she is of the mountain state.

“Representing West Virginia on the Miss Amer-

ica stage was so surreal, and I hope I made the state proud,” Madden said. “I have such a passion for our beautiful state, and I think it’s time for a Miss America from West Virginia.”

During competition, the slogan, “Don’t count West Virginia out,” was streamed all over social media from supporters. Madden had one night to prove to America she was a worthy contender.

The Office of Student Employment has combined with Financial Aid and Federal Work Studies to create one central place for students to find work both on and off campus.

The combined offices are now housed in the Financial Aid office on the second floor of the Mountainlair. Staff are there during the normal campus hours from 8:15 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. to provide students the many services they have to offer.

“The main reason for combining everything is because it made sense to have one place for students to find work,” said Candi Frazier, associate director of financial aid. “So if any student walking around on the WVU campus wants to find part-time work, they don’t have to go

to two separate offices. The goal is to find students jobs now as well as for after graduation, and I’m really excited about the direction that we’re moving in.”

Last November, the process of blending the offices began on paper and now that they are all together, the staff is working hard on getting the word out to students, faculty and the community about the great opportunities.

“One of the biggest changes is with the federal work study employment process,” Frazier said. “Students now get to choose where they want to work and having that ability will let students gain experience for their career.”

Federal work study is when students are given monetary rewards from by the federal government so they can work either on campus for faculty or off campus in a

Madden performed the song “Gravity,” by Sara Bareilles, during the talent competition. Having blown the audience away, Madden’s performance was able to win her a top talent score.

“Of course I didn’t expect anything going in. After the final pageant, five non-finalist talent awards

were given and I was fortunately a recipient – meaning out of the 37 women who did not make the top 16, I had one of the top five talent scores,” Madden said. “I received another $1000 for this accomplishment.”

Even though Madden was recognized for her talent, she said she entered the competition with a modest mind set.

“Going into the Miss America, a lot of people

told me that only one girl will win, so you have to find something to walk away with or you’ll have gained nothing,” Madden said.

“I can honestly say I have gained 52 new friends.”

The West Virginia University Student Government Association held a retreat last weekend at Blackwater Falls State Park.

Members in attendance spent Saturday performing community service in the town of Parsons, W.Va. On Sunday, the group worked on some team-building activities as well.

SGA Board of Governors member Dustin Seabolt said the team building exercises involved a lot of open discussions for all members of SGA in attendance.

“We discussed different parts of a meeting and how it should run, as well as different things you can do to make a meeting run more efficiently,” Seabolt said. “We also discussed our master projects list, and we added a few things to that. It was really good to have the executives and governors together to collaborate and talk about

these things.”

Dakota Workman, director of safety for SGA, said a lot of the service they completed on Saturday built productive groupings for future SGA projects.

“Governor and executives would add in things they thought were important and that they wanted to work on,” Workman said. “We kind of found pairs that worked well together to see what works best. That was the big thing with the groups, we figured people who worked out weed eating together would probably work really well together and figure out who works best.”

While in Parsons, those in attendance worked to help repair damage and rebuild parts of the Parsons community affected by a flood in the 1980s. Some of the projects included replacing floor boards, weed eating and demolishing an old baseball back stop.

Lumber town takes stock after wind-driven wildfire

Firefighters hose down a hot spot in the rubble of home Tuesday that was destroyed by a wildfire in Weed, Calif. In just a few hours, wind-driven flames destroyed or damaged roughly 100 homes Monday.

WEED, Calif. (AP) — They had prepared for wildfires and knew of the droughtparched forests, but the inferno that swirled through the California lumber town of Weed moved so quickly all people could do was flee.

In just a few hours, winddriven flames destroyed or damaged 100 homes, the saw mill and a church. At times, the fire moved so fast that residents had only a few minutes to get out of the way.

On Tuesday, the “Weed Like To Welcome You” town sign still stood, but

nothing else was normal as stunned residents assessed the damage, took stock of what they lost and gave thanks for what was saved.

“At the peak, essentially the entire town was evacuated,” state fire spokesman Robert Foxworthy said.

Disastrous as the fire was for the community of 3,000 people, daybreak brought gratitude and relief that there were no reports of death or even serious injuries.

The intense blaze erupted Monday south of Weed. Elsewhere in the state, hundreds of firefight-

ers battled about a dozen other persistent blazes.

Winds gusting up to 40 mph pushed the flames into town, where they quickly chewed through a hillside neighborhood.

The cause is still under investigation.

“It went through here so fast it was unbelievable.

I’ve never seen anything like this,” Jim Taylor, a retired butcher who has lived in the town for 30 years said Tuesday. “I’m not a real religious person, but somebody was looking out for me.”

Taylor said fire bombers

dropped retardant over his house. As his home and his deck furniture turned pink from the retardant, another house nearby erupted into flames. Across the street, pine and oak trees were burned to a crisp, and small flames and smoke drifted up from chunky embers.

The town and the forest that surrounds it were a tinderbox after three years of drought. And Weed’s winds are notorious. The steady breezes were what attracted town founder Abner Weed to build his lumber business there in 1897, after he realized that wood

“We want positions that mirror a real-world experience so that not only students but also so supervisors can go through the true steps of the hiring process,” Frazier said.

dried more quickly when fanned by nature.

The town’s saw mill, once the world’s largest, was among the structures damaged in the blaze.

“Once the fire kicked off, you had wind driving it from the south. It got into the crowns of trees, and then it was moving extremely quickly from structure to structure, block to block,” said Dennis Mathisen, another state fire spokesman.

On Tuesday, chimneys were the only thing still standing in the rubble, and broken pipes spurted

water over the blackened landscape. The remnants of the Holy Family Catholic Church were still smoldering, its metal girders twisted on the ground.

“I mean it was devastating,” said Maureen Campbell, the church’s music minister who was baptized, confirmed and married at the church, along with her children. She lost her home to the fire.

“The house up there is no big deal. It can be rebuilt,” she said. “But this is my family church, you know? It’s much more endearing to me.”

reer events and job postings for students and alumni to find degree related full-time, internship positions or other employment opportunities.

The website has more than 1,300 job position postings with information about each position as well as the ability to set up interviews. This creates significant improvements like flexibility and convenience for students.

In addition to simply logging on to Mountaineer TRAK to look for job postings, Student Employment sends out a student job list, which is an email listing current open job positions both on and off campus. This is just for regular student jobs, not for federal work study. To sign up for the job list serve students can go to studentemployment.

wvu.edu, click on student job list serve and enter name and email.

In order to find the employers looking to hire student workers, Student Employment sends out a Job Location Development Officer or Program Specialist to reach out to places of employment around the community to see if they would like their job openings posted on Mountaineer TRAK. “Students are still coming in our office looking for work now that the semester is well under way and Mountaineer TRAK as well as the job list serve really works to the advantage of students and the community partners,” Frazier said. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Continued from page 1 weekend was to emphasize that our role as leaders in the student body is to serve,” said Mac McIntyre, executive secretary of SGA. “Going on this trip where we are serving West Virginia emphasized that, that is the goal of SGA, and what we are here for is to drive home that point.”

He said this has primed the group to better serve students as a whole. SGA is currently involved in selling Gold Rush t-shirts to benefit the United Way Foundation. Their goal is to sell 6,000 t-shirts to be worn at the Gold Rush game Oct. 4 against Kansas.

Seabolt said completing

community service helped him see the connection that the University has is not just with Morgantown but with the entire state of West Virginia.

“Being there in Parsons really made me realize that WVU isn’t just Morgantown, it is the entire state,” Seabolt said. “Everyone was really appreciative. Just seeing everyone being appreciative and seeing us being there from WVU and getting to know those people was really great.”

Following their day of service, attendees had dinner with the mayor of Parsons, Dorothy Judy. Workman said he had a hard time putting how the speech made him feel into words.

“It was pretty moving, they were just so apprecia-

tive. I don’t think any other community service has ever meant as much to me as this,” Workman said.

McIntyre said he thought the main point is for SGA to be more proactive in its want and desire to help students through their roles as leaders.

“I think the gesture of reaching out to people in Parsons kind of showed there are definitely people who need you if you look for them,” McIntyre said. “It kind of shows that we need to be proactive in SGA and in the future I know I will be a lot more proactive about reaching out to students and not waiting for them to come to us.”

Leonardo DiCaprio UN Messenger of Peace UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Leonardo DiCaprio’s movie roles have made him an international star, but his long and little-known commitment to preserving the global environment has led to his new role - as a U.N. Messenger of Peace.

Secretary-General Ban Kimoon announced on Tuesday that the 39-year-old American actor will join 11 other prominent world figures who advocate on behalf of the U.N. as Messengers of Peace including Stevie Wonder, Michael Douglas, George Clooney, Brazilian author Paulo Coelho, primatologist Jane Goodall and conductor Daniel Barenboim.

Ban told a news conference that the Dicaprio “is not just one of the world’s leading actors” but he has “a longstanding commitment to environmental causes.”

He said DiCaprio will focus his U.N. role on climate change issues.

“His global stardom is the perfect match for this global challenge,” the secretary-general told a news conference.

Ban said DiCaprio’s first act as a Messenger of Peace will be to address the climate summit he is holding next Tuesday on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly’s annual ministerial meeting, which 120 world leaders are expected to attend. Ban said the aim is to promote commitments to curb greenhouse gas emissions and pave the way for a global climate agreement in 2015.

DiCaprio established a foundation in 1998 with a mission to promote the Earth’s last wild places and build a more harmonious relationship between humanity and the natural world.

According to the U.N., the foundation through grants, media projects and public campaigns and appearances

by DiCaprio, has brought at-

tention and funds to three areas - protecting biodiversity, conservation of oceans and forests, and climate change.

DiCaprio said in a statement that he is honored to be a Messenger of Peace and support the secretarygeneral “in his efforts to address one of the most important issues we face as a global community.”

“I feel a moral obligation to speak out at this key moment in human history - it is a moment for action,” he said. “How we respond to the climate crisis in the coming years will likely determine the fate of humanity and our planet.”

DiCaprio gained international fame for his role in “Titanic” and has been nominated for five Academy Awards, including for “Aviator” and “The Wolf of Wall Street.” He won Golden Globes for his performance in “Aviator” and “The Wolf of Wall Street.”

Actor Leonardo DiCaprio became a U.N. Messenger of Peace Tuesday.

HBO ‘Girls’ features Adam Driver Broadway to premiere ‘Cinderella’ TORONTO (AP) — It comes as something of a shock to be talking with Adam Driver and hear so little cursing. Nothing is thrown. No explicit sexual act is performed.

Lena Dunham’s “Girls,” has obviously colored impressions of the 30-yearold actor, as has the kind of language often used to describe his performances - words like “primal,” “animalistic” and “raw.” But the gulf between Driver and his “Girls” character (also named Adam), is surprisingly - and impressively - vast.

Unlike the intense, unpredictable urban hedonist he’s played for three seasons and counting on HBO’s “Girls,” Driver is plainly serious, thoughtful, erudite and even slightly hesitant. If he’s aggressively electric on screen, he’s almost timid off it.

“As a person, I naturally want to overthink things and analyze what it means - not only acting, but, like, the meaning of life,” says Driver. “It’s probably the nature of my job, constantly trying to spy on things and take them in.

But I have a constant battle in acting where I almost have to fight that impulse.”

It’s a battle he’s been winning. Driver’s live-wire spontaneity, his unusually lanky, 6-foot-3 presence, and his seemingly direct tap to unfiltered emotions have made him one of the most magnetic actors of his generation. This Friday, two of his films will open: Shawn Levy’s ensemble comedy “This Is Where I Leave You,” adapted from Jonathan Topper’s novel, in which he plays the youngest and least mature sibling of a family gathered for a funeral, and the Australian

desert drama “Tracks,” where he plays a National Geographic photographer trailing the camel-trekking Robyn Davidson (Mia Wasikowska).

The films - one a studio comedy, the other an elegant indie - are clear proof of Driver’s versatility. Further expansions are on the horizon. He flew into the recent Toronto Film Festival from the London set of “Star Wars: Episode VII,” a movie likely to boost his fame considerably. He brought two other films to Toronto, too: Noah Baumbach’s generational comedy “While We’re Young” and Saverio Costanzo’s family drama “Hungry Hearts” (which won him best actor at the Venice Film Festival). He stars in Jeff Nichols’ next picture, “Midnight Special,” and this fall he’ll shoot “Silence” with Martin Scorsese.

“I think of who I was four years ago and I can’t imagine that person now,” says Driver, who married actress Joanne Tucker last year. “Suddenly your kind of anonymity goes away.

Your relationships around people change a little bit.

You just calm down more.

Your nerves calm down and suddenly your first impulse isn’t anger. You hope it’s rational thought.”

Driver used to have more anger. Raised by devout Baptists in Mishawaka, Indiana, he joined the Marines at age 18 after Sept. 11, but a broken sternum from a mountain biking accident ended his military career.

Instead of going to Iraq, Driver went to Julliard.

Driver had been coming to the realization that he wanted to be an actor, and when he got to Julliard, he pursued acting with the

dogged determination of a Marine.

“Suddenly, I wasn’t intimidated by anything,” says Driver. “I thought that acting could be pretty simple. When I happened to get into school, I felt like I could approach it as aggressively as things in the military.”

That rare combination soldier and thespian - represents the curious contradictions of Driver: a classically trained Marine.

“There is no Adam Driver type,” says Levy.

“He’s singular. He’s weird and beautiful and primal.

And you literally don’t know what he’s going to do or say next. ... The second I say `cut,’ he’s out of his chair he’s literally just stalking, prowling.”

Driver was already 27 when cast in “Girls,” but his ascendance has been swift. He quickly drew the interest of Steven Spielberg (“Lincoln”) and the Coen brothers (“Inside Llewyn Davis”). “Tracks” director John Curran looked him up after reading a “Girls” review that hailed him as “one of the oddest, funniest, strangest new faces.”

“He’s got the ability to be really playful in front of the camera, but he thinks about it quite a bit,” says Curran. “His sexiness is his anti-vanity. He’s clued into being absolutely present without editing himself to look better.”

It will be interesting to see how “Star Wars” director J.J. Abrams utilizes Driver, who inevitably stands out. “It’s the most difficult thing I’ve ever done,” says Driver of the lengthy, big-budget production. “But you still have to approach it like any other thing and J.J. has made it so you can.”

9 million tune into ‘Roosevelts’ NEW YORK (AP) — Once again millions of television viewers are transporting themselves to another century under the guidance of Ken Burns.

An estimated 9.1 million people watched the first episode of Burns’ seven-part series on Theodore, Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt on Sunday.

PBS aired it twice Sunday to maximize attention; the Nielsen company’s estimate was the combined viewership of both episodes.

By way of comparison, the most-watched scripted series on the commercial networks last week, CBS’ “Under the Dome,” reached 6.6 million viewers, Nielsen said.

“Releasing a film is like having a conversation with your closest friends and family,” Burns said.

“I’m always struck by the thoughts and comments and how engaged the American people are. The fact that such a large audience tuned in ... is all the more rewarding.”

Burns’ reputation-making 1990 series, “Civil War,” had 10.5 million viewers for its premiere episode, Nielsen said.

His 2007 film on World

War II had 8.9 million, and 2012’s “Dust Bowl” documentary had 8.3 million, Nielsen said.

Those historical numbers include viewing over a seven-day period; the 9 million figure for “The Roosevelts: An Intimate History” will increase when people who catch up to that first episode throughout the week are counted.

Otherwise, prime-time television was dominated by football and footballrelated programming last week.

An estimated 7.1 million people watched the “Miss America” competition on ABC. That was down from the 8.6 million people who watched last year, but still one of the bigger numbers reached by the pageant over the last decade.

CBS won the week in prime time, averaging 8.3 million viewers. NBC had 7.8 million viewers, ABC had 4.1, Fox had 2.9 million, Univision had 2.7 million, Telemundo had 1.3 million, ION Television had 1.2 million and the CW had 930,000.

ESPN was the week’s most popular cable net-

work, averaging 3.03 million viewers in prime time.

Fox News Channel had 1.87 million, USA had 1.85 million, TBS had 1.76 million and the Disney Channel had 1.68 million.

NBC’s “Nightly News” topped the evening newscasts with an average of 8.6 million viewers.

ABC’s “World News” was second with 8.3 million and the “CBS Evening News” had 6.3 million viewers.

For the week of Sept.

8-14, the top 10 shows, their networks and viewerships: NFL Football: Chicago at San Francisco, NBC, 22.16 million; NFL Football: Pittsburgh at Baltimore, CBS, 20.77 million; “Sunday Night PreKickoff,” NBC, 16.69 million; “Thursday Night Pre-Kickoff,” CBS, 13.86 million; NFL Football: N.Y. Giants at Detroit, ESPN, 13.73 million; “Football Night in America, Part 3,” NBC, 12.36 million; “60 Minutes,” CBS, 12.29 million; NFL Football: San Diego vs. Arizona, ESPN, 11.52 million; “Thursday Night Pre-Game Show,” CBS, 10.63 million; “America’s Got Talent” (Wednesday, 9 p.m.), NBC, 10.52 million.

NEW YORK (AP) — The Cinderella onstage on Broadway next Tuesday will have another Cinderella in the audience - Lesley Ann Warren.

Warren, who starred in the 1965 television version of “Cinderella,” is slated to attend the Sept.

23 production of “Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella” and join the cast during the curtain call to sing “Ten Minutes Ago.” “I’m really looking forward to it,” Warren said by phone Monday from Los Angeles. The actress hasn’t seen the show live but caught one song during the Tony Award telecast and called it “scrumptious.”

Warren’s turn as Cinderella, which came eight years after Julie Andrews played the part in a TV

movie, also starred Walter Pidgeon, Stuart Damon, Ginger Rogers and Celeste Holm.

Next year is the 50th anniversary of that production and a special DVD of it was released last year.

Warren joked that the idea of 50 years having past “makes me sick. It is crazy because it truly doesn’t feel that way to me. I can’t even wrap my head around it.”

Warren, 68, was nominated for an Academy Award in Blake Edwards’ gender-bending “Victor Victoria” and had recurring roles on TV’s “Desperate Housewives” and “In Plain Sight.”

When she recently started working on “Ten Minutes Ago” again, she felt very emotional. “It brought me back to that

18-year-old girl that I was creating that role,” she said. “It was such a momentous experience for me.”

Warren had been on Broadway as a 17-yearold in “110 in the Shade” in 1963 when she auditioned for “Cinderella” during the run.

She eventually left the show to film the TV movie in California. “It changed my life,” she said. “It became a classic so quickly.

It affected not only me but it affected so many people who were kind enough to let me know how it impacted their life.”

The new Broadway production stars Keke Palmer as Cinderella and Sherri Shepherd as the stepmother. It will close after the Jan. 3 performance at the Broadway Theatre.

‘This Is Where I Leave You’ sappy Somebody dies. Family gathers to mourn. Everybody’s stuck in one house, with all their quirks and foibles and enough emotional baggage to fill an aircraft carrier. What could go wrong? Ha ha.

What couldn’t?

This scenario could be a drama or a comedy - or, in the case of “This Is Where I Leave You,” both: a dramedy.

In the best dramedies, of course, laughter and tears alternate seamlessly and gracefully, and you leave both entertained and enlightened.

Alas, this isn’t that film.

Instead, “This Is Where I Leave You,” directed by Shawn Levy and adapted from Jonathan Tropper’s novel by the author himself, seems to be constantly questioning - or doubting - what it is.

Which means that just when it enters into some meaty issues that deserve serious treatment, it gets nervous and falls into forced comedy - or fullon slapstick. Which can get grating.

And it’s a shame, because the film has an Alist ensemble cast, headed

by Jason Bateman and Tina Fey, but also featuring nice work from Jane Fonda, Connie Britton, Adam Driver, Rose Byrne, Corey Stoll, Debra Monk and more. A cast like that deserves an A-list movie; they got maybe a solid B. Bateman plays Judd Altman, a radio producer with a pretty wife and an even prettier Manhattan apartment.

But he arrives home one afternoon and finds the pretty wife bonking his own boss.

This obviously throws Judd for a loop, but then he gets even graver news: His father has died. He rushes to the suburban homestead, where Mom (Fonda) awaits her four children with a firm requirement: They will honor Dad’s dying wish to follow Jewish ritual and sit shiva grieving together, with guests - for seven days.

This pleases no one, especially Wendy (Fey), Judd’s sharp-tongued,

bossypants sister, or the other brothers, Paul (Corey Stoll), the mature one, who stayed home to run the family business, and Phillip (Adam Driver), the immature one, who can’t get settled in life.

Fonda has fun here as an uninhibited child psychologist who became famous for a book years ago that spilled her family’s secrets. She loves talking about sex, which embarrasses her family no end, and also loves showing off her very prominent boob job.

Once everyone’s together, things can start to fall apart. Judd wants to keep his impending divorce a secret, but bossy Wendy won’t let him.

(Their talking-over-eachother public spat is one of the movie’s more enjoyable scenes.) Phillip has brought home a smart, sexy, wealthy older woman (Britton, very appealing here) but struggles to stay faithful.

Wendy’s having troubles of her own - she’s married to a dolt - and still has strong feelings for an old love. (Fey gives an understated performance here). Judd is trying to forget his cheating wife, but she shows up anyway. Meanwhile, Judd’s also reconnecting

with a lovely friend from the past, Penny (Byrne).

And Paul and his wife, Annie, are desperately trying to conceive. Ever been to a shiva where the baby monitor transmits vigorous sex from upstairs to the mourning guests? Us neither.

It’s the scenes of overobvious mayhem - or ultra-thick sappiness - that ultimately hurt an appealing film. Does every conflict have to involve people screaming and shouting, then falling over each other in a brawl? At one point, the three adult brothers end up getting high together, in an inappropriate place. They just sit there and laugh loudly.

It feels totally fake.

That’s not to say the film isn’t often enjoyable.

It’s a pleasure to watch pros like these interact.

But at one point, after a particularly silly brawl, poor Wendy asks if everyone can just act more normal. And she’s right.

It would have made for a more interesting film.

“This is Where I Leave You,” a Warner Bros. release, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America “for language, sexual content and some drug use.” Running time: 103 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.

Employment opportunities at WVU The student employment opportunities at West Virginia University are endless. It is now easier than ever to figure out school finances and what you’re going to do to pay the bill with the new location combination of the Student Employment and the Financial Aid and Federal Work Studies offices.

Working while going to school is hard, especially when you have no choice in the matter. However, the University makes the job search process simple. There are myriad resources at your fingertips, and if you sign up, The Office of Student Employment even sends out an email every Tuesday and Saturday with employers looking for help on campus and around the area.

Although working while in college can be stressful, there are benefits. Not only can it help pay for school or put a little extra cash in your pocket, but it’s another experience you can put on your resume, which will help out when you move on to real life after grad-

uating. If you can handle work and school, this may show a future employer your work ethic.

One of the great things about student employment, especially at WVU, is you’re limited to only working 20 hours per week.

Some might think 20 hours isn’t enough, but these sanctions only exist so students have time outside of work to keep up with their classes and school work. This is an important factor that every employer should keep in mind when hiring students.

Peterson, a case for abandoning physical punishment emily torbett columnist @dailyathenaeum

On Friday, Minnesota Vikings star running back Adrian Peterson was indicted by grand jury on charges of reckless or negligent injury to a child. It was alleged that Peterson struck his fouryear-old son with a switch (a small tree branch), causing injury to the child. TMZ released photos of his son’s injuries, and the brutal welts, cuts and bruises covering the small boy’s legs and back are nothing short of shocking. The details of the incident leading up to the beating are unknown at this time, but law enforcement seems to believe, due to the severity of the child’s injuries and his exceptionally young age, Peterson’s actions were inappropriate.

Peterson released an apologetic statement, maintaining that it was never his intention to maliciously hurt his son, and that he was simply disciplining him in the manner that he had been disciplined as a child. He noted

he believes he has enjoyed such success as an adult because of the harsh physical punishments he endured in his younger years.

“I have learned a lot and have had to reevaluate how I discipline my son going forward. But deep in my heart I have always believed I could have been one of those kids that was lost in the streets without the discipline instilled in me by my parents and other relatives. I have always believed that the way my parents disciplined me has a great deal to do with the success I have enjoyed as a man,” Peterson said.

After reading several articles on Peterson’s indictment, and taking a little time to look at the comments made on each article, I have realized that there are clearly two separate views on this issue. About half of the comments made affirmed the view that it is never OK to hit a child, and professed their shock and disgust with Peterson’s actions. The other half said something along the lines of “So what? I was punished with spanking/hit-

ting/whipping as a child, and I turned out OK.” The Peterson child abuse allegations bring to light an extremely controversial issue that is often uncomfortable to discuss. Where exactly do we draw the line between child abuse and discipline?

The difficulty with drawing this line is that it will almost always be an arbitrary one. What one parent views as an unforgiveable offense may be seen as a small transgression to another. What one parent views as an appropriate punishment may be completely inappropriate in the eyes of another. If the only issue with Peterson’s method of discipline is that his son is far too young to be subjected to beating with a switch, then what exactly is an appropriate age to beat a child with a switch?

Perhaps the “grey area” surrounding physical discipline is enough in itself for us to realize we probably shouldn’t be using these tactics on our kids anymore. In a day and age where physical discipline has been extensively studied, and its negative effects, such as increasing

Vikings running back, Adrian Peterson, with his son, Adrian Jr. violent behavior and increasing the likelihood of developing mental illness as an adult, have been proven time and time again. Why is it that we still defend such actions by saying, “I was hit, too. I survived. I turned out okay. I would have misbehaved had I not been punished with beatings. I would have ended

up on the streets.”

The Peterson case is just one widely publicized incident of what goes on behind closed doors across the country every day. Physical punishment accomplishes a short-term goal while increasing the likelihood of long-term consequences.

Gretel: An amazing addition to WVU’s Carruth Center hannah chenoweth columnist @dailyathenaeum

Which new addition to West Virginia University loves to hit elevator buttons, has already starred in her first movie, salivates over Marilyn’s Meat Brownies and just turned 3 years old in August? If you guessed Gretel, you are correct. Did I mention she is part labradoodle?

Gretel is the newest employee at the WELLWVU: The Students’ Center of Health’s Carruth Center.

She specializes in anxiety and stress, and adores meeting new people.

After being released from the Hearts of Gold service dog training because of her small size, Gretel found another use for her easygoing and loving temperament, making a flawless transition to a therapy dog.

Service dogs are trained to service only one handler and shouldn’t be touched in public, but as a therapy dog Gretel is available to everybody all the time. Most dogs can get tired of meeting people and getting so much attention after an hour or so, but Gretel loves the attention and is described

by Program Director Al Kasprowicz as “tolerant of all people.” She doesn’t even mind being dressed up by people, as you can see browsing her Facebook photos.

I met with Gretel in her natural environment,

DA

hanging with her handler, counselor Deborah Beasley. “Just by entering the room she makes people smile,” Beasley said when I asked about Gretel’s role as a therapy dog. There was no way I could disagree, watching the black and white dog lay happily at our feet.

The labradoodle has a mellow disposition, but is extremely attuned to what’s going on around her. She can be sleeping on the floor when a patient starts to cry during a session, and Gretel will perk up and go to comfort them.

Some patients will pet Gretel for an entire 45 minutes - a great deal for both parties. She has even gone to judicial hearings for sexual assault victims, helping to make things a little gentler. “She likes to help. Most dogs do like to be able to do something.

It’s just a matter of communicating with them,” Beasley said.

Gretel doesn’t just attend court hearings and counseling sessions. This is a pup who is constantly on the go, even kayaking in the Chesapeake. She loves to swim, and recently splashed around with her brother, Brewster, in Cheat Lake. Gretel plays with her Hearts of Gold friends on Tuesdays, and has playdates with Brando on the Engineering campus. She’s even taking agility classes just for fun at the Kennel Club.

When the Carruth Center moved to the new

A picture from Gretel’s Facebook page with the caption: “Change can be rough. Let’s talk about it. Talking helps.”

Health and Education Building, Gretel spread the news by starring in a short film on the WELLWVU website. The movie depicts Gretel racing from the old downtown location to the new one, even using the PRT and pressing elevator buttons with her paw (a trick called “upup” which she apparently loves).

“It’s fun … The Carruth Center does not have to be a place with terribly depressed and mentally ill people. We can lighten up a little bit and this can also be a place where people

can be a little more positive and try to lighten the day,” Beasley said.

Kasprowicz said he agrees that Gretel is an invaluable asset to the University. “She’s a great vehicle for students, and so many can relate to her,” he said. Gretel reminds many people of their dog at home, and can give people that sense of ease with just her presence alone.

Beasley said they are working on making trips to the Residence Halls with Gretel. Seeing the friendly labradoodle is an amazing

way to comfort homesick freshmen, who long for the pets they left behind.

There are many plans for Gretel’s future to help her interact with more students, which is what she loves the most. Students can plan on seeing Gretel in the Mountainlair to help with stress during midterms. “It’s not real technical - she cruises around making people happy, being lovable and she does it well,” Beasley said of the beloved pup. People say that dog is man’s best friend, and it’s hard to disagree when you re-

Almost like babies, dogs have the ability to make you smile just by looking at them.

I highly recommend meeting Gretel for yourself. She can be found Monday through Friday in the Carruth Center. You can also check her out on Facebook under the name “Gretel at Carruth”, or at her Twitter @Gretel_Labradoo. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

A&E Red, White and Used

Wednesday September 17, 2014

The Used releases album, makes political statement Ashley DeNardo Associate A&E Ediotr @amdenardo

««« ««« Since their self-titled album in 2002, The Used has released many great albums including its two most popular, “In Love and Death” and “Lies for Liars.”

On April 1, 2014, the band came back with new music on their sixth studio album, “Imaginary Enemy.” The album is unlike any of their other albums.

It holds a political message, while past albums contained lyrics about addiction, love and other hardships.

The first thing I noticed about the cover is the change in visual style and how it compared to the 2004 album “In Love and Death.”

Freelance artist Alex Pardee illustrated the album art for “In Love and Death” including the cover, which was a symbolic heart hanging by a rope from a spindly tree.

The cover of the new album is a realistic medical heart hanging by a rope with a background filled with political and religious figures with their eyes crossed out in red, including President George W. Bush, President Barack Obama and Jesus.

The comparison between the two hearts shows the juxtaposition of “In Life and Death’s” fantastic feel and the new album’s political hardness.

The first page of the booklet contains a quote

by Brazilian philosopher Paulo Freire. It reads: “To the oppressed and to those who suffer with them and fight at their side.”

The Used’s lead singer Bert McCracken onstage with a fan at the 2013 Van’s Warped Tour in Holmdel, N.J. It looks like The Used is trying to become another voice for those who don’t have one. The band even included a collection of thoughts about the wars on terror, drugs and poverty in the middle of the booklet.

The album urges revolution and, appropriately, “Revolution” is the title of the first song.

The song begins with a spoken quote by South African activist and Judge Albie Sachs, “All revolutions are impossible until they happen; then, they become inevitable.”

The lyrics describe the power of big business, the lack of freedom in what is supposed to be the most free place in the world and the lack of progression in the U.S. The end of the bridge proclaims “revolution starts with me.” It ends with another quote from Sachs.

“Revolution” maintains

The Used’s signature sound and is definitely something bandwagoners can rock out to. More than that, the song is a rallying cry with the potential to seriously influence Americans and open the eyes of many to the issues at hand in the current political climate.

The next song, “Cry,” is much like the group’s past music and doesn’t lend much to creativity.

Track three is all about how love is the most important thing in the world and chastises capitalism.

It comments on society’s exploitation of religion, prostitution and money, and the privileged people’s lack of empathy and understanding of love.

“A Song to Stifle Imperial Progession (A Work in Progress)” screams about how every president is the same and how authority only wants more power.

It also turns “God Bless U.S.A.” into “no way U.S.A.” and shows that the band doesn’t support the country with the lyrics “there is no U.S.A. from what I see.”

This repetitive, disrespectful slogan is etched into your mind by the end of the song. While I appreciate the need for change prevalent in the air of our country and support a revolution of some kind, this album is completely discredited when instead of calling for change, it attempts to brainwash listeners into an un-American disloyalty.

“A Song to Stifle” ends with another quote, this time by President Dwight D. Eisenhower, “In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwanted influence whether sought or unsought by the military industrial conflicts.

The potential for the di-

nomoralsanymore.com

sastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes.”

“Generation Throwaway” is the most popsounding song I have heard from The Used. That isn’t necessarily disappointing, but the lyrics are not incredibly creative or effective. I can see the band was trying to explain the youth has a chance to rise up and overcome oppression, but the way it was done was slightly childish and repetitive.

“Make Believe” is another poppy, childish song.

It uses a mantra basically saying, “You can’t tell me what to do. Now I’m grown up, and I can do what I want.” The Used experiments with a lighter sound in “Evolution,” a song about change over time.

The eighth track is very

different from the other tracks in that it has a more driven groovy funk to it.

The song is about how the government creates “imaginary enemies” to distract the public and blame someone for a problem.

“Kenna Song” is a play on words. The entire song tries to answer, “What can a song do?” According to the lyrics, a song can “shine a light on what we think,” “move the people to their feet,” “leave us brave enough to fight” and “give us strength to do what’s right.”

There is also the message that the government should be more transparent and stop spreading fear. It is definitely an activism song and asks to “bring the soldiers back from war.”

The most interesting part of The Used’s “Force Without Violence” is when the song ends and a spoken word poem plays with minimal, but chaotic background music. The song presents the repetitive themes previously found on the album.

“Overdose” is a nice break from all the political activism but still isn’t a great song. It falls flat and lacks the drive and power that past music has stepped up with. The somewhat hidden track attached to “Overdose” is called “Red Heart” and is a textto-speech monologue with a happy, synthesized background. Ironically, it is a machine talking about being part of “the machine” that is our government.

The album is catchy and some of the imports are agreeable, but overall, I think The Used used misguided logic and misplaced creative energy. ashley.denardo@mail.wvu.edu

‘Haven’ worth watching on Netflix Gaga, Bennett collaborate with jazz Jake Jarvis Multimedia Editor @JakeJarvisWVU

The cast of Syfy’s ‘Haven’ on the red carpet at the 2013 Comic Con.

Jocelyn Phares Copy Editor @DailyAthenaeum

With the school year in full swing, we are all terribly busy studying, right?

I am sure that schoolwork is a priority for everyone, but my relaxation time is second on my list of importance.

Our weekends are generally devoted to hanging out with friends as much as possible, but when we aren’t studying, working, or socializing, we need a good distraction from life.

The answer, as I am sure most everyone is accquainted with, is Netflix.

Netflix is either a hit or miss for me, but when I find a show I like, I am hooked.

Well let me share with you my latest addiction I found on Netflix, “Haven.” I must admit this is not my normal genre of guilty pleasure, but there is something endearing about this show. This is a SyFy show loosely based off “The Colorado Kid” by Stephen King.

There are four seasons on Netflix, mak-

ing it the ideal show for binge-watching.

“Haven” takes place in a small town in Maine, named Haven. It is shot on the U.S. Canadian border, and the scenery is gorgeous. FBI agent Audrey Parker (Emily Rose) is sent to Haven to investigate the whereabouts of an escaped convict.

Underneath the surface of this quaint fishing town lies something darker.

Haven is plagued with something called “the troubles.” “The troubles” are supernatural events that belong to Havenites.

These problems are instigated by people living in town and most of the time, they are unaware of their supernatural abilities.

Audrey soon finds herself working with the Haven Police Department to help the troubled and to keep Haven a safe place.

She also realizes that her coming to Haven was not a coincidence.

O ne of the b est things about the show is the character development, not only with Audrey, but also with her two friends, Nathan and Duke.

herocomplex.latimes.com

From the very first episode, we begin to realize there will be more than friendship between the three of them. But the relationships develop slowly (to my great frustration), and we begin to really learn about the characters’ inner workings.

“Haven” is also enjoyable because of its mix of science fiction and mystery. The science fiction is consistent and integral to the show, yet the mystery is slowly uncovered, making it ideal for long-term plot development.

While the show is admittedly cheesy at times, it has become my newest show to space out with.

Let me be honest.

When Netflix removed “King of the Hill,” I almost gave up on the system. I took it a bit personally, and I hadn’t checked out Netflix in a long time.

When I finally did, I was happily surprised.

I am normally not interestd in SyFy shows or Stephen King books, but I am into “Haven.” If you need something new to watch, definitely check out “Haven.” daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Sixty years separate legendary jazz singer Tony Bennett and pop music icon Lady Gaga.

However, with they way they look into each other’s eyes, the age difference disappears. All you see are two best friends.

The two have recorded an album together, “Cheek to Cheek,” to be released Sept.

23. The album features a wide sampling of jazz classics but focuses on The Great American Songbook.

The album was originally announced by Tony Bennett during an interview with “Rolling Stone” in 2012. Many fans were surprised to hear the versatilitiy in Gaga’s voice when she and Bennett recorded “The Lady is a Tramp,” for Bennett’s “Duets II” album.

Much of America knows Gaga for her ostentacious wardrobe and pop melodies. Quite frankly, it’s shocking to see a pop star like her perform classics with such skill.

The first time I heard her sing something other than pop music was on the “Today” show in 2011. She began her set with a cover of “Someone to Watch Over Me,” by George and Ira Gershwin.

My jaw hit the floor.

Her voice transformed from her usual metallic pop to a fine piece of silk.

I have extremely high hopes for “Cheek to Cheek” and hope it garners both artists more fans. An entire generation of young listeneers are being introduced to Bennett and older lsiteners are just discovering Gaga.

The lead single off the album “Anything Goes” was released July 29.

In the music video, audiences are treated to a backstage look at how the song was recorded. Gaga’s eratic behavior is seen throughout, particularly when Bennett wipes a tear that is falling down her cheek.

thepopzone.net

Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett stand cheek to cheek for a photo shoot.

What is surprising about this song is the range that Gaga displays. She typically doesn’t show off the higher range of her voice during performances, but she does here. Her voice sounds just as strong on the high range as it does on the lower.

The album’s most recent single release was “Nature Boy.” This song by Eden Ahbez once again showcases a different side of these two peroformers. This timeless song is beautifully sung by the pair.

As she sings, it sounds as if she is close to the listener.

I could almost imagine her breath hitting the back of my neck.

Even though the album hasn’t yet been released, fans have been able to enjoy videos of the artists performing live at different venues. Of these performances, Gaga’s rendition of “Lush Life” su-

persedes all.

This is hands down the greatest song she will ever sing.

Written by Billy Strayhorn, “Lush Life” brings themes of love and loss to life. I sense anger in Gaga’s voice as she sings about someone she thought was her lover.

From what I’ve seen, “Cheek to Cheek” should be great. Its vocal quality is better than anything Gaga has ever produced.

When Bennett and Gaga participate in interviews about their work, I get the impression Bennett is more of a mentor to her than collaborating artist. I think that’s just what she needs right now.

Who knows if Gaga will continue in this direction. If she does, I’ll be here, excited and ready to listen. jajarvis@mail.wvu.edu

CONNOR MURRAY SPORTS EDITOR @ConnorKMurray

Double jeopardy for WVU secondary They say bad news comes in twos, and that held true for West Virginia’s defense early this week. Head coach Dana Holgorsen announced starting sophomore cornerback Daryl Worley was suspended indefinitely for a violation of team rules Monday night.

After electing not to elaborate on Worley’s suspension in his weekly press conference yesterday, Holgorsen then announced that cornerback Brandon Napoleon will miss the rest of the season after having knee surgery.

While Napoleon hadn’t seen much of the field in the first three weeks of the season, losing him now, when West Virginia needs its depth more than anything, is a less than ideal situation.

Even though he is just a sophomore, Worley is without a doubt one of the leaders of the Mountaineer defense. He leads with poise on the practice field, in live game situations and in his interactions with the media.

Without knowing what he was suspended for, it would be inappropriate to pass judgment at this time. Regardless of what happened, there is no doubt Worley’s suspension, however long it lasts, will have a huge effect on West Virginia’s secondary and defense as a whole.

Worley has been charged with taking on the opposing team’s best receiver in the first three weeks of the season, and although he took his lumps against Alabama’s Amari Cooper in Week 1, he has done more than hold his own.

With head coach Bob Stoops and the No. 4 Oklahoma coming to Morgantown Saturday, West Virginia’s defense will immediately be put to the test.

Although the Sooners haven’t been lighting it up through the air so far this year, they haven’t really needed to. Junior wide receiver Sterling Shepard is a constant threat and can break a game open at any time.

Worley likely would have been assigned to blanket Shepard Saturday, so defensive coordinator Tony Gibson will have to devise a plan to keep the Sooners’ big play specialist in check.

Fortunately for Gibson and the West Virginia defense, redshirt senior cornerback Ishmael Banks will be eligible to return from his three-game suspension against the Sooners.

As one of the most experienced players on West Virginia’s roster, Banks will need to find his feet in a hurry if the Mountaineers want to have a chance to spring an upset on Oklahoma.

Oklahoma quarterback Trevor Knight will challenge the depleted Mountaineer secondary with his feet and his arm.

After losing his starting job to converted tight end Blake Bell during the West Virginia game in 2013, Knight stayed the course, and when he was given an opportunity to prove himself again he took full advantage.

He captivated the college football world with his masterful performance against the mighty Crimson Tide defense in the Sugar Bowl in 2013, solidifying himself as the starter heading into the 2014 season.

The confidence he gained in that game seems to have carried into the new season. He’s led the Sooners to a 3-0 start, and after a solid performance against an SEC foe in a 34-10 win over Tennessee in Week 3, Knight is likely to be more confident than ever going up against a depleted Mountaineer secondary Saturday.

Like they did in their last matchup in Norman, the Mountaineer defense will have to find a way to rattle Knight early, and they will have to do thei without its leader. connor.murray@mail.wvu.edu

GIVING THEM FITZ

Andrew Spellman/The dAILY Athenaeum

Wide receiver Kevin White hauls in a touchdown against Alabama in Week 1.

Kevin White’s emergence draws NFL comparisons, respect around the country by dillon durst sports writer @dailyathenaeum

Through three games, West Virginia senior wide receiver Kevin White is garnering national attention.

White was added to the Biletnikoff award watch list this week, which is a postseason award given to the nation’s top receiver.

White’s 32 receptions are No. 2 behind Alabama receiver Amari Cooper, and his 460 receiving yards are No. 2 behind Baylor’s K.D. Cannon.

The 6-foot-3, 210 pound receiver from Plainfield, N.J., has been a nightmare for opposing defenses this season. White’s versatile combination of size and speed allow him to be the Mountaineers’ go-to deep threat, as well as a key playmaker on screen plays.

White came into the national scene against Alabama in Week 1, catching nine passes for 143 yards and a touchdown in the

Mountaineers’ 33-23 loss.

In Week 2, White caught double-digit passes for the first time since former-WVU receiver Stedman Bailey caught 11 passes against Kansas in 2012.

Against an overmatched Towson defense, White posted 10 catches for 101 yards. However, West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen said prior to last weekend’s game against Maryland that he wanted to see White get in the end zone more often.

White didn’t disappoint his head coach as the senior took a screen pass from quarterback Clint Trickett 44 yards early in the second quarter to extend West Virginia’s lead to 21-3. Although the Mountaineers allowed Maryland to climb back into the game, White’s 216 receiving yards were instrumental in moving the chains and keeping the Terrapins’ defense on the field.

Trickett said White and senior receiver Mario Alford have the innate ability of

putting pressure on opposing defenses and threaten them vertically. “At Maryland, they put safeties 30 yards deep, and I (have) never seen that before,� Trickett said. “That just shows you how good of a deep threat we have in both of them.�

White, who has recently drawn comparisons to Arizona Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald, transferred to West Virginia in Jan. 2013 from Lackawanna Community College. After starring at Emmaus High School, White spent two years at Lackawanna where he caught 36 passes for 535 yards and six touchdowns during the 2012 season.

During the Mountaineers’ disastrous 4-8 2013 campaign, White provided an offensive sparkplug as he hauled in 35 receptions for 507 yards and five touchdowns.

Heading into Saturday night’s home game against No. 4 Oklahoma, White’s performance figures to be

ANDREW SPELLMAN/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Kevin White celebrates on the sideline after scoring a touchdown in Week 1. crucial in whether or not the Mountaineers can complete the upset. Through three games, Oklahoma’s defense is No. 41 is passing yards allowed. The Sooners have surrendered 626 passing yards with opponents’ quarterbacks averaging a little over 200 yards a game.

White is no longer an under-the-radar receiver, and will surely be an important factor in Oklahoma head

coach Bob Stoops’ game preparation.

Holgorsen said he expects a sell-out crowd Saturday night, and the home field advantage figures to provide the players a boost. “Being able to host the No. 4 team in the country, I don’t know if it gets any better than that,� Holgorsen said. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Short memory leads to Lambert’s success

By Anthony Pecoraro Associate Sports EDITOR @PecoraroWVUNews

Being crowned the hero of any sporting event is tremendous, especially when you earn that title in the final seconds of a game.

That was the case for West Virginia redshirt sophomore kicker Josh Lambert Saturday in College Park, Md., though it wasn’t his first time achieving this honor as a Mountaineer.

During the 2013 season when things began to crumble apart for WVU in nearly every way possible, Lambert was able to shine a little light when he won the game for the Mountaineers in overtime at TCU. Lambert kicked a 34yard field goal – the first game-winner of his life.

During his second attempt at a game-winning kick Saturday against Maryland, Lambert said he wasn’t thinking about repeating what happened in Fort Worth. He was only worried about the task at hand. “At that moment in time, you can’t be thinking about what’s happened before. TCU is in the past. (I’m) concentrated on what’s happening now,� he said.

He proved that in em-

phatic fashion. Lambert missed his previous kick in the game, a 43-yarder attempt earlier in the fourth quarter. Before the gamewinning 47 yarder slipped through the uprights, he made a slight misstep before the ball was even snapped. He said his ability to move on from mistakes is what ultimately delivered a victory for the Mountaineers. “I was anticipating the snap and (I) took a step and realized ‘oh no,’ and I was able to gather myself very fast and put it through,� he said. “I felt like I left it out a little bit right, but it stayed straight.�

According to special teams coordinator and safeties coach Joe DeForest, Lambert’s misstep was probably due to him not being able to hear the snap count, which showed DeForest just the type of strong player Lambert is. “It’s a credit to Josh to be able to move on to the next (field goal),� he said. “I’ve always said he’s a flat liner, and he went out there and did what he had to do and kick the winning field goal.�

Even though Lambert has missed one field goal in each of the first three games, DeForest said he had no doubt in Lambert’s ability to win the game

Saturday. “No (doubt, he) just moved on to the next play.

It’s just one play and out and now it’s (on to) the next one,� he said. “Josh can make a 50-yarder.

Anything over 50 (yards) becomes difficult, but anywhere from 45 to 50,

if he hits 50 percent, then that’s good anywhere in the country.�

Lambert said besides the emotions he felt following Saturday’s victory, the entire game was a battle and that’s something that can only help WVU moving forward and pre-

paring for No. 4 Oklahoma this Saturday at home. “It’s an awesome feeling seeing everyone smiling in excitement. All game we fought really hard. It was a close game and we came out with a win,� he said. anthony.pecoraro@mail.wvu.edu

men’s soccer

Early season losses can’t get West Virginia down

kyle monroe/the daily athenaeum

WVU forward Jamie Merriam gets tripped by an Oakland defender earlier this season.

by ryan minnigh sports writer @dailyathenaeum

How you start is not always how you finish. West Virginia has dropped three games straight, but perseverance could take them a long way through the rest of the 2014 season.

The men’s soccer team limped through its last three games, losing all of them by a combined score of 5-2. In the losing streak, the Mountaineers have been shut out twice in 1-0 games.

Head coach Marlon LeBlanc said defense was the main concern of the team following their first loss of

the season against St. Francis, but the corners and scoring chances are still coming.

Both Elon and St. Francis scored off corner kicks against the Mountaineers.

UC Irvine used a more generalized offensive strategy, but was able to put three straight goals on the board against the Mountaineers.

LeBlanc said he knows the team let its opportunities pass them after themost recent loss to the Elon Phoenix.

“We had chances, a lot of chances and we didn’t convert,” LeBlanc said in a release. “When you go on the road you need to be able to grind out results.”

The bulk of the season is still on the horizon, but the last three games have put the Mountaineers in a slump. Confidence was carrying the Mountaineers through their first three wins, but three straight losses will test the mental strength of the Mountaineers.

With two more games on the road before West Virginia returns home again, there will be no room for error against High Point and James Madison. These road games will be crucial to the Mountaineers’ success once they enter conference play later in the season.

Bowling Green and

Western Michigan are leading the division and look to be tough opponents. Both teams are off to great starts for the 2014 season.

The Falcons are rolling in the early season, jumping out to an early 4-1 record. Not only have the Falcons collected four wins, they have earned three of them in shutout fashion. Falcon’s sophomore forward Pat Flynn is tearing up in the goal category early this season. Flynn has nine goals in the Falcons’ first five matches including five against Findlay.

Western Michigan is going in the opposite direction of the Mountaineers as of late. West Virginia

started out the season 3-0, the Broncos started out 0-2-1. However, after the first three matches, both teams went in opposite directions. Western Michigan has cruised to a 3-0 record while West Virginia has lost three straight one goal matches.

The schedule does not do the Mountaineers any favors either during conference play. West Virginia will play four of their six conference games outside of Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium. Nonetheless, the Mountaineers will get the benefit of playing Bowling Green at home towards the end of the 2014 season.

Perseverance will be key

for the rest of the Mountaineer season.

After seeing how the Mountaineers started in their first six games, there is no saying which Mountaineer team shows up to the pitch. However, Bevin also said he believes the team plays their best when playing better competition.

This stood true for when the Mountaineers lost a hard fought battle against No. 9 UC Irvine. If this holds true for the rest of the season, West Virginia will rise to the occasion, but they must turn their fortunes around sooner rather than later. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Pettine has Browns believing they can win

ap photo

Browns’ head coach Mike Pettine is confident in his team as the 2014 season enters Week 3.

BEREA, Ohio (AP) – Mike Pettine stalked the sideline Sunday in complete control. He was poised, composed and his players mimicked their rookie coach.

If his nerves were jumbled, the Browns’ rookie coach didn’t show it.

But after Billy Cundiff kicked the go-ahead field goal with three seconds remaining and the Browns stopped New Orleans on a kickoff return, Pettine showed some raw emotion.

Mr. Cool behind those dark black, wrap-around sunglasses, Pettine let his hair down. Well, he would have let it down if he didn’t keep his head cleanshaven. He raised his arms in triumph and moments later took the obligatory Gatorade bucket soaking for his first NFL win – and the Browns’ first in a home opener since 2004.

On Monday, Pettine

said he smoked a celebratory cigar the “size of a little baseball bat” and may have partied as hard as any of the Browns.

“I celebrated probably as much as any of them did last night,” he said.

“Feeling it a little bit this morning.”

This was a hangover Cleveland could cherish. For the first time in 10 years, the Browns are 1-0 at home and relevant for more than just havingJohnny Manziel on their roster.

Pettine deserves much of the credit.

From the moment he arrived, Pettine, the son of a Pennsylvania high school coaching legend, has preached being tough, working hard, playing together and fighting until the final second. His words rang true Sunday as quarterback Brian Hoyer, backed up at his 4-yard line and with the team’s

top offensive players out of uniform, drove the Browns 85 yards to set up Cundiff ’s 29-yard kick.

As Cundiff ’s kick split the uprights, Pettine felt the ground shake beneath his feet inside FirstEnergy Stadium. This is what he promised the Browns.

“He always talks about ‘Play like a Brown’ and there were a lot of examples of that yesterday,”’ said Hoyer, who was 8 of 11 for 78 yards on the winning drive. “Not just being physically tough, but mentally tough and dealing with the adversity throughout the game, the ups and downs, and really just playing until the clock says zero. That’s what we were able to do.”

It wasn’t perfect, but it was a win and will help Pettine reinforce his message. His main message to his players was that one win won’t carry into another if they don’t deal

with it properly.

“We very easily could be 2-0, probably even more likely we could be 0-2,” Pettine said. “Remembering that feeling in the locker room. Just the sheer joy those guys had celebrating afterwards. There’s no substitute, no drug in the world that can make you feel like that. Fear of failure is one of our motivators, but that feeling is another.

“Handling success is important. They need to understand the phrase. You don’t want one loss to run into two. We don’t want a big win to be celebrated too long and turn into a loss.”

During his brief tenure in Cleveland, Pettine, the Browns’ third coach in three years, has shown a remarkable steadiness amid difficulty. He’s already had his share of major issues: Pro Bowl wide receiver Josh Gordon’s

suspension; the Manziel media circus; the HoyerManziel quarterback decision; and injuries to key players.

Pettine has handled it all with finesse, strength and leadership.

“His demeanor and his attitude toward everything gives you confidence,” said linebacker Paul Kruger. “It gives you an overall view of the way he sees us and the way we should see ourselves. He’s done a great job in being the type of leader and the type of head coach that lets players identify their own personalities and lets them be themselves, and at the same time give us a clear vision of what’s going on.”

Pettine’s got the gruff exterior, but there’s a softer side to him, too.

As he came off the field Sunday, his two children were waiting in the tunnel to greet him. Pettine said he nearly “caved” with

emotion.

“The players were getting on me,” he said.

“They thought I was going to crack, but I held it together.”

He also got the usual treatment from his father, Mike Sr., who is never afraid to offer his opinion.

“He talked about how fortunate we were,” Pettine said. “I said, ‘There’s a phrase for almost losing, it’s called winning.’ He was great. He’s a typical Italian parent, he’ll tell everybody he’s proud, except me.”

NOTES: The Browns are one of four teams without an offensive turnover. ... Pettine said TE Jordan Cameron (shoulder) and LB Barkevious Mingo (shoulder) made progress over the weekend, but he’s not expecting RB Ben Tate (knee) back this week against Baltimore. ...

Rookie RB Terrance West is tied for fourth in the league with 168 yards rushing.

Tomlin not worried as Pittsburgh piles up penalties

AP

Head coach Mike Tomlin shakes hands with Steelers kicker Shaun Suisham after his game-winning kick in Week 1.

PITTSBURGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mike Tomlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s list of issues with the Steelers is lengthy.

The number of flags his team has piled up during the first two weeks of the season is not on it.

While the Pittsburgh Steelers have been flagged 20 times during their 1-1 start â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the third-highest total in the league â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Tomlin believes thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plenty of time for things to even out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re two games into this one,â&#x20AC;? Tomlin said Tuesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully by the time weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re able to compare this year to last or any year for that matter over a 16, 19-game schedule or 20-game schedule if you will (that) weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a better showing than we have to this point.â&#x20AC;?

The Steelers have typ-

ically been among the NFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most well-behaved franchises during Tomlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tenure. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve only finished in the top half of the league among most penalized teams twice since 2008.

Pittsburgh was the 10thmost penalized team in 2010 and still went to the Super Bowl. The Steelers ranked 16th in 2011, but went 12-4 and advanced to the playoffs. That doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean Tomlin wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like to see some improvement heading into Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game at Carolina (20), it simply means there are bigger issues at the moment.

Asked if he sees the uptick in flags on his players symptomatic of a leaguewide crackdown and he shrugged his shoulders.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t looked at it globally,â&#x20AC;? Tomlin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not really familiar with anything going on outside of Pittsburgh right now.â&#x20AC;?

And what Tomlin sees is a group thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trying to do the right thing most of the time even if Pittsburgh leads the NFL in unnecessary roughness penalties (three) and personal foul facemasks (three).

Two of the unnecessary roughness calls came in a span of a minute during last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 26-6 loss to Baltimore. Safety Troy Polamalu was flagged when officials ruled he hit Ravens tight end Dennis Pitta when Pitta was trying to complete a catch.

A couple of snaps later, safety Mike Mitchell drew a whistle for slamming

into Baltimore wide receiver Steve Smith at the goal line. Replays showed Mitchell â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who was fined several times last year for dangerous hits while playing for Carolina â&#x20AC;&#x201C; appeared to lead with his shoulder.

The call on Mitchell set up a short Baltimore touchdown that made it 17-6 and the Steelers never recovered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have major concerns about our ability to respect the player-safety initiative and lowering the target and things of that nature,â&#x20AC;? Tomlin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know that we were called a couple of times in the football game, but largely in regards to our guys and our approach to it, I have very little concern.â&#x20AC;?

The Steelers had a sim-

ilar rough start in 2012, drawing 28 penalties through the first three games. They turned it around quickly enough to end up the seventh leastpenalized team that year.

While Tomlin allowed keeping the referees from reaching into their pockets would help his team avoid the kind of sloppy play that highlighted the loss to Baltimore, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more worried about a rush defense that is allowing 170 yards per game.

Pressed on if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simply bad tackling or players being out of position, Tomlin just laughed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all something that needs to be addressed and quickly rectified,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Doing it against the Panthers wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be easy. Carolina has one of the better

running back combinations in the league in Jonathan Stewart and DeAngelo Williams.

JOHANNESBURG (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Several legal groups in South Africa have expressed concern about threats and harsh criticism of the judge who found Oscar Pistorius guilty of culpable homicide, but not guilty of the more serious charge of murder.

Some South Africans said they were surprised and even shocked when Judge Thokozile Masipa ruled last week that the Paralympic champion was negligent but did not intend to kill when he fatally shot girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp through a closed toilet door.

Pistorius said he thought a dangerous intruder was in his house; prosecutors alleged he intentionally killed Steenkamp after an argument.

Police protection for Masipa has been stepped up since the verdict Friday in the sensational case, South African media reported.

The case will return to the global spotlight when Pistorius, who is free on bail, appears before the judge for a sentencing hearing on Oct. 13.

In a statement, three legal groups described a â&#x20AC;&#x153;wave of criticismâ&#x20AC;? directed at Masipa that in some cases could border on hate speech, defama-

tion and contempt of court.

The comments include allegations that the judge is corrupt, as well as attacks on her race and gender. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In judging, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of analysis of the information before the court and applying the law to what is before you,â&#x20AC;? Thabang Pooe, a researcher at legal group SECTION27, said Tuesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Attacking the judgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s integrity and making insinuations of bribery or that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not fit because sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a woman, or that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s black, means that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re breaking down the belief in the law.â&#x20AC;?

Masipa, 66, is a former social worker and journalist who became one of the first black female judges in South Africa, which shed white racist rule in 1994.

Her supporters have described her as a symbol of accomplishment in a country where poverty and unemployment remain obstacles for many people.

The legal groups, including SECTION27, the Legal Resources Centre and the Centre for Child Law, said people are entitled to disagree with the verdict and that the prosecution can appeal. Prosecutors have said they will decide whether to appeal after sentencing.

The sentence for a culpa-

ble homicide conviction is at the judgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s discretion and can range from a suspended sentence and a fine to as much as 15 years in prison.

Legal experts have cited five years as a guideline.

Meanwhile, South African sports officials have said Pistorius can compete for South Africa again, as long as his running doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go against the ruling of the judge.

Many legal analysts agreed with the judgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ruling that Pistorius could not be found guilty of premeditated murder. But some believe the law supported a conviction on a lesser murder charge on the grounds that Pistorius knew someone â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in his version, a perceived intruder â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was behind the toilet door and also knew that firing four bullets into the door could cause that personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death.

James Grant, an associate professor of law at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, said in an online analysis that â&#x20AC;&#x153;there appear to be errors of lawâ&#x20AC;? in Masipaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s judgment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The effect is that, if the state does appeal, and one may well expect that it will, Pistorius continues to face the prospect of a murder conviction,â&#x20AC;? Grant wrote.

NFL sponsors voice league disapproval (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Major sponsors including AnheuserBusch are adding to the chorus of disapproval over the National Football Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent actions but the companies are stopping short of pulling advertising.

Anheuser-Busch said Tuesday that it has spoken with the NFL about concerns related to re-

cent incidents that are sparking outcr y from fans, including an investigation into how long the NFL knew about a video that shows Baltimore Raven Ray Rice beating his then fiance; as well as the Minnesota Vikingsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; decision to let Adrian Peterson play while he faces an abuse charge for spanking his 4-year-old son with a

wooden switch.

Visa and Campbell Soup Co. say they have also voiced similar concerns to the league.

The statements come after Raddison hotels said Monday that it was pulling its sponsorship of the Minnesota Vikings. No other brands have pulled sponsorships from teams or the NFL.
