Great wine, smooth jazz and instant community BY JORDAN FOWLER CORRESPONDENT
The West Virginia Wine and Jazz Festival last weekend at Camp Muffly attracted everyone from wine enthusiasts and casual jazz listeners, to people just looking to experience local wineries, eateries and artisans. “Wine and Jazz Fest is a cool atmosphere,” said Paige Adams, 21, of Delran, N.J. “It’s different from what we usually do on the weekends. It’s a change of pace. It’s a lot more relaxed and a nice getaway from Morgantown.” Not only did the Wine

annual festival will benefit many educational opportunities at West Virginia University, including scholar-
ships for the WVU School of Music. Adams and Chantel Shuman, 21, of Lancaster, Pa.,
admitted they came mostly for the wine. “We’re also here for the cool experience,” Shuman said. “It’s our last year here, we’re seniors.” The festival’s uniquebut-casual atmosphere brought in a large crowd of Morgantown locals as well. Several wineries from around West Virginia offered a diverse array of free samples and sold their wine by the bottle and glass. Kenco Farms, a meadery specializing in honey wine, offered a sweet, refreshing alternative to many grape wines. “When we first got licensed we were the only
mead makers in the state of West Virginia, and actually, even in the eastern part of the United States,” said Barbara Kennen, owner of Kenco Farms Meadery. Of course, those in the market for traditional grape wine could also find wineries such as Fisher’s Ridge. “The Wine and Jazz Festival has been in existence for 23 years, and this winery has been here for 23 years,” explained Assistant Winemaker Tim Bader of Fisher’s Ridge. “There are no paid employees here. Everyone that’s (at the booth) is a friend and a volunteer.”
The Market café opens on Health Sciences Campus BY ADRIANNE UPHOLD CORRESPONDENT
The Market at West Virginia University, a new café in the Health Sciences Center, opened its doors at the beginning of the semester. The café not only offers a new menu every week, it also gives students the options of healthier yet affordable food choices. The Market is a branch of Fresh Hospitality, a company that operates restaurants at Evansdale Crossing, the Mountainlair, and Martin’s BBQ Joint and Taziki’s Mediterranean Café in the Suncrest
Towne Centre. “They make food, with real food,” Said Ryan Niceler, the Director of Operations at the Mountainlair’s Taziki’s. Fresh Hospitality first came to WVU six years ago when Taziki’s opened. The partners are all WVU graduates and their goal is to provide great quality food to students.

Sanitation is a number one priority for Fresh Hospitality. By eliminating the use of freezers, produce is being used as soon as it enters the restaurant. Without microwaves, there is no chance of anything being reheated and used for another customer. “(Customers are) everything, we do it for them,” Blankenship said. “When I went to WVU, there weren’t many food options here, and we provide healthy options with a cheaper price tag.” Each restaurant prepares its food twice a day. Pairing up with locally
owned organic farms, produce and meat get shipped directly to each location five to six times a week. The Market restaurants include EiO & The Hive (a coffee and juice bar), Hugh Baby’s BBQ & Burger Shopand Little Donkey. The indoor and outdoor seating arrangement at The Market provides students with a place to study and relax. Providing healthy, locally-purchased and balanced food options for students and the community, Fresh Hospitality is continuing to grow throughout the university and Morgantown.

The Elegant Alley Cat offers local looks with high-end twists BY ADRIANNE UPHOLD CORRESPONDENT
From displaying local art to sorority merchandise and even Alex and Ani bracelets, the Elegant Alley Cat has been a locally-owned and community-oriented business for the past 32 years. First opening up in the alley on Wall Street, Alley Cat has subsequently moved to a more prime location on High Street. Amy Dale and Amber Sellaro teamed up and bought Alley Cat from the previous owner, Linda Snyder, almost a year ago. Since then, they say they have transformed the gift store into an open, warm environment. “We really want to be here for the students, community, everyone,” Dale said. The gift store offers a variety of merchandise: bags, jewelry, West Virginia-themed clothing and gifts, small knick-knack items and their famous Papyrus cards allow customers to get a vast option of items.
ANDREW SPELLMAN / THE DAILY ATHENAEUM
The Elegant Alley Cat, a boutique located on High Street, is co-owned by Amy Dale and Amber Sellaro. Dale and Sellaro both want to adhere to the store’s roots while still branching out and carrying popular items for their customers.
Dale used to work on and off for the previous owner, Snyder, pledging she would buy the store from her once she retired.
Keeping her promise, Dale and Sellaro acquired the store less than a year later. They then closed the store for a few months
before re-opening right around Halloween, just in time for the Holiday season. “We changed up some of the merchandise,” Dale
said. “We just wanted to put our own spin on it. We still want to be known for gifts. We have our wedding gifts and baby gifts, but we really want to start to focus on what our foot traffic is—a lot of students.” Being a locally-owned business, Dale and Sellaro give back to the community by displaying artists’ paintings throughout the store. They also sell several jewelry lines handmade by artisans around Morgantown. Not only does Alley Cat support the Morgantown community, but they’re pairing up with the Sigma Kappa Sorority and holding a pre-registration for the Morgantown Walk to End Alzheimer’s on Saturday, Sept. 24 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Gently used cocktail dresses, gift card basket raffle tickets and other items will be available, with a percentage of the sales going to the Walk. The Elegant Alley Cat hopes to continue to grow as a locally-owned business, supporting student organizations and the community along the way.

Medical marijuana: a weapon against debt and opioid abuse BY BRANDON RIDGELY CORRESPONDENT
West Virginia is the opioid overdose capital of the country. Just last month, there were 26 overdoses in a single four-hour span in Huntington. While all 26 people survived, it seems more to the credit of health professionals and state legislators who in June made the lifesaving antidote Narcan available without a prescription. While people aren’t dying as frequently, the abuse is still rampant. The most recent statistics available show that in West Virginia in 2013 there were 34 deaths
per 100,000 people. That’s twice the national average. How can we fight this? Narcan is the first step. But reviving overdose victims is not solving the problem. First, this solution is reactive and doesn’t address the real problem: abuse. Second, this solution requires money that this state doesn’t have. West Virginia will be an estimated $558 million in the red for 2017, according to Ted Boettner, Executive Director of the West Virginia Center of Budget and Policy. What’s an answer? Marijuana. According to a new study from Columbia University,
legalized marijuana actually reduces fatal opioid-related car crashes. This is not the only study that shows positives for the legalization of marijuana. For example, in Massachusetts hundreds of opioid abusers are being treated with marijuana as a non-addictive alternative to the drugs, according to the Boston Herald. Not only could marijuana treat the problem of abuse, legalization would also bring significant financial gains. It is conservatively estimated that recreational marijuana taxed at 25 percent would bring in around $45 million, and this only considers the taxes the buyer would pay.
This would also reduce the costs of arresting and prosecuting marijuana users. In 2010, that cost West Virginia $17.4 million. In 2014, the first year it legalized marijuana, Colorado collected $63 million in taxes. This number increased to more than $135 million in 2015. So what is standing in our way? Right now, it’s the legislature. In March, legislation was introduced to allow medical marijuana to be sold, but the legislature adjourned without even considering it. Another barrier is the DEA’s refusal to adopt rational policies when it comes to marijuana. Under DEA
categorization, marijuana somehow remains a Schedule I drug. This category is designated for drugs with no known medical benefit. With more than half of the country allowing medical marijuana, and an incredible range of proven benefits for individuals and financial windfalls for the states, this classification is incomprehensible and unacceptable. As the rest of the country around us progresses, we can only hope our state catches on before more lives are lost. Narcan is the first step, legalizing marijuana should be the next.

Why Would WVU Limit the Amount of Credits You Can Take? BY ALEX WEIDMAN CORRESPONDENT
For the last couple years there’s been talk around campus about “culture change.” WVU wants to bolster its reputation for academics while simultaneously rewriting its reputation as the number two party school in the U.S. (according to the Princeton Review). Achievements, such as WVU’s recent inclusion to the top tier of research schools in the nation, the breaking of the Volkswa-
gen scandal and our victory at NASA’s Sample Return Robot Challenge, are evidence that the University has more to offer than great weekends. But if WVU is looking toward students to advance the academic reputation of the University, what exactly is the point of capping the amount of credit hours one can take? At 20 hours, a student can reasonably take six classes at three credits a piece (a generally hefty schedule.) What if you want another
more serious three credit course? If you’re an honor student, you’d be allowed to do so. Honors students are eligible to take 21 credit hours, which allows them to take a seventh, three credit course. Does WVU believe there’s a difference between its honors students and the rest of the general population? Well, maybe not. A non-honors student still may be able to take a seventh three-credit course, all one has to do is fill out a course overload
petition with an advisor who then recommends it. Voilà! You and honors students can both go above and beyond, you both can strive to learn, you both have the opportunity to get everything from your short four years that you want, and you both can help change the culture at WVU proving that the students here are ready to take academics seriously. At least that’s what I thought. I was one of those gen-pop students who thought I could fill up my schedule not only with ma-
jor requirements, but also semi—or completely unrelated courses (I am an English student, but I don’t want to always be reading). I came across something called Service-Learning 493C, a peer advocates group working with the “It’s On Us Campaign”, but I had 18 credits already and couldn’t fit another threecredit course. Naïvely, I thought there’s no way I’d be turned down requesting to add a Service-Learning course, let alone one that assists students with the serious re-
ality of sexual assault on campus. My request was denied on the basis that, “overload petition(s) are usually granted to graduating seniors who need to take a course for graduation.” I was shocked and disappointed. Culture change comes from small meaningful steps toward a common goal. If we’re serious about bolstering our academic reputation, let’s start by giving students the opportunity to maximize their time here.

Meet the Mountaineers Troy Clemons & Savannah Lusk BY PAT ORSAGOS, CORRESPONDENT
Even if he wasn’t the Mountaineer, Troy Clemons says he’d be at all the events he goes to now, no matter what. The Mountaineer is held to the highest standard in the West Virginia University community. The talented individual must have charisma, spirit and honor. It is someone who understands and respects the traditions of the university and the state. The Mountaineer is someone who finds exhilaration in the roar of the crowd, and joy in unifying the citizens of the West Virginia as well as the students of the University. Ultimately, it is someone who does not mind being the busiest person on campus. For the 2016-17 school year, this “someone” is Troy Clemons. He is a special kind of person. From Greenbrier County, Troy is a West Virginia native who claims he’s always had old gold and blue running through his veins. “I can remember a football game in 2001 where I had met the Mountaineer before the game,” he explained with a smile. “I said to myself that I was going to watch him throughout the game and I did. Ever since then I’ve wanted to be the Mountaineer.” Clemons earned his undergraduate degree in sports management in three years and is now working on a master’s of business administration. Next year, he will complete a second master’s of sports management. Upon finishing with a plethora of degrees and experience, Clemons plans to give back to the state that raised him. “I’d like to do something meaningful for the state because anything to help out the economy of the state you’re from would be ideal.” Clemons values his state and his university. He wears its colors—or buckskins—with full knowledge of what it means to be a Mountaineer. Most of all, he loves what he does. When asked if the duties of the Mountaineer ever felt like “work” to him, Clemons responded, “No. That’s what I’d be doing anyways, now I just do it as the Mountaineer.” The Mountaineer should care for every aspect of the state and of the University. It is the central symbol of WVU. Through his actions, Troy shows that he cares with all of his heart for the Mountain State and WVU. He believes he and his fellow students are paving the way for a bright future. “We are the next generation that is going to come from this state and we want to see it thrive like we know it can.”
“
A message from Troy:
To freshmen: I’m sure you all have made some great memories and friends already this semester as you have embarked on such an amazing journey. You have already had great times, hardships, confidence, and uncertainty. As you get into the swing of your college career you will continue to adapt and I know you will keep having a great time and also take advantage of everything we have to offer. I hope you have enjoyed your brief time in the Mountaineer family, and I look forward to watching us grow together. Let’s Go Mountaineers!

Gameday in the Buckskins
Gameday is one of the best days to be a Mountaineer. Daily Athenaeum correspondent Pat Orsagos sat down with Troy Clemons to find out what exactly a football gameday is like for the Mountaineer.

Savannah Lusk is a modern day Renaissance woman. The schedule of the Mountaineer is rigorous. Their presence is needed at sporting events like football and basketball games, social events like parades and rallies and state-wide events like conferences and presentations. However, school remains a top priority. Homework and studying are very important to be successful in school. Extracurricular activities are also important, as they are where we find distractions from school and work. Think about these three important components of life as the Mountaineer. It is busy. Multiply this brief overview by 10 and that is what Savannah Lusk’s schedule is like. Born in Covel, West Virginia, 20-year-old Lusk is a junior exercise physiology student. She’ d like to pursue medical school after earning her degree from WVU. “It’s a tough road, not for the weak,” she said. In addition to studying for her classes and the MCAT, Lusk made time to develop a volunteer organization on campus named Helping Hands. Lusk and others in the organization volunteer at hospitals delivering food to cancer patients. “I get so caught up in the hustle and bustle, but when I go there and give lunches to people who I have talked to for the past year it puts things in perspective, what’s important and what isn’t. It’s been a blessing,” Lusk said. Besides her service work, Lusk is an Honors 199 mentor, a tutor, a member of the Student Government Association and an amateur guitar player. She does it all. The biggest reason Lusk participates so much, she says, is because she loves making people smile. She is the epitome of who the Mountaineer should be. She chases her dreams, works tenaciously to achieve a goal, and works for the betterment of those around her. Ultimately, Lusk hopes to eventually return to West Virginia and make a difference in the community. Helping others is a nerve that seems to never leave Lusk alone. Being herself and doing the right thing are in her nature, she says. “I’m a bull in a china shop,” she said. “I don’t know when to stop, I don’t know when to not say things and I go full speed ahead.” Keep on trucking Vannah. We trust you won’t stray in the wrong direction.

LISTICLE The Boutiques of Morgantown Whether you are on High Street or at Suncrest Towne Centre, boutiques are the perfect place to either window shop or swipe your card for that “to die for” dress. These four boutiques are nuzzled into Morgantown’s hills, each one offering something different for their customers.
1 Lust—407 High Street
. After two years of working at Lust, senior fashion merchandising student, Bryce Banuelos believes that Lust outshines other boutiques in Morgantown because it receives shipments multiple times a week. “Everything is always coming and going so we will always have new stuff to choose from,” Banuelos said.
2 Figleaf—491B High Street
. Racquel Sulse, a sophomore public relations student at WVU, has been working at Figleaf since August. Sulse believes that Figleaf’s unique apparel is what brings in most of the boutiques customers, including many sorority girls. “The owner goes out of her way to do research on what her costumers would want,” Sulse said. “The only bad thing about the store is we only have one size of each item, but costumers know that no one else will have the same outfit during a date party.”
3 Parks and Madison—Suncrest Town Centre
. Parks and Madison is on the higher end. Katie Kuliesh, a new hire for Parks and Madison thinks the prices are worth the apparel. “We have exclusive brands that you don’t find in other places in Morgantown,” Kuliesh said. “It’s a great place to shop, because we have everything from gameday attire to party dresses.”
4 Paisleys Plaids and Polka Dots—Suncrest Town Centre
. Paisley Plaids and Polka Dots offers a variety of recognizable brands to its customers, including Vera Bradly, Lilly Pulitzer and Kate Spade. “It’s girl heaven.

No. 1 Mountaineers suffer first loss of season BY CONNOR HICKS SPORTS WRITER
WOMEN’S SOCCER Fresh off a 3-0 win over Princeton, the No. 1 West Virginia women’s soccer team was back in action on Sunday afternoon, hosting No. 9/24 Georgetown (7-1). The game turned out to be a struggle between two of the nation’s top defenses, with beautiful defensive play by West Virginia’s Kadeisha Buchanan and textbook goaltending by Georgetown’s Arielle Schechtman. A strong defensive presence early on limited effective possessions and prevented any scoring opportunities through the first 10 minutes. In the 12th minute, the first shot of the game came from
WVU’s Easther Mayi Kith on a beautiful curving shot that was saved by Schechtman. On the corner kick that followed, Schechtman made a leaping save. With just six minutes remaining in the first half, West Virginia saw its biggest opportunity yet when Gordon’s shot was deflected and landed in front of Hannah Abraham. Abraham had an opening to get off a shot, but tripped up a Hoya defender, resulting in a whistle that blew the play dead and awarded Georgetown the ball. It looked as though West Virginia would finally break the game open when a lead pass intended for Michaela Abam resulted in Abam colliding with Schechtman in Georgetown’s box.
CAROLINE NICHOLAS / THE DAILY ATHENAEUM
WVU forward Sh’Nia Gordon competes for a ball with a Georgetown defender. Abam came away from the collision to an open net, but the ball had rolled away from the goal. Abam passed the ball off to forward Heather Kaleiohi, but by that time Schechtman had recovered and was able to block Kaeloihi’s shot for her 6th save of the
game. With time winding down in the 81st minute, Amandine Pierre-Louis stole an errant Hoya pass and rifled the ball upfield to find Kaleoihi. She weaved past a defender, but her shot was deflected out. WVU acquired a corner
kick opportunity in the final seconds, but the rush to get it off before time expired resulted in a poor kick, sending the match to extra time. Four minutes into overtime, a WVU corner kick was deflected and found the foot of Buchanan. With no opening in front of her, Buchanan attempted to place the ball over the Hoya defenders, but the shot sailed over the top crossbar. In the final minute, Ashley Lawrence dribbled to the right side of the box and was tripped. Portillo lined up for another set piece, but with less than 20 second on the clock, it was again rushed and deflected away by the Georgetown defense, resulting in a second overtime period. In the 101st minute,
Georgetown’s Grace Damaska carried the ball up the left side of the field with the West Virginia defense trailing her. Teammate Caitlin Farrell followed her up the middle to open herself up for a pass. Damaska looked towards Farrell, but saw Buchanan covering and instead rifled a shot over WVU goalie Rylee Foster. The shot found the back of the net, giving the Hoyas the sudden death goal to end the Mountaineers’ undefeated season. With the loss, West Virginia falls to 7-1-1 and will likely drop from the top spot in this week’s poll. The team closes out its nonconference slate next week at Richmond, before starting conference play on Friday, Sept. 30 against Baylor.
Forsey finds success, leads WVU Cross Country BY ABBIE BACKENSTOE CORRESPONDENT
WOMEN’S CROSS COUNTRY This week, the spotlight falls on redshirt junior Jillian Forsey for being named Big 12 Runner of the Week. Forsey earned this title by coming in first place and bringing home the win for the Mountaineers at the Texas Tech Invitational, on Sept. 8. She was also named WVU Student
Athlete of the Week. She also became the second WVU runner in history to be named Big 12 Runner of the Week. The redshirt junior is from Stephenville, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. She attended Stephenville High School, where she ran under Coach Ray Will. Forsey also competed in cross-country skiing. While she found success in both sports, she knew she could only choose one to compete at the collegiate level.
She was Newfoundland Provincial Cross Country Champion in the 800m, 1500m and 3000m run for six consecutive years. Forsey also competed for Canada at the World Cross Country Championships. This is where Forsey knew she would take her talents to the collegiate level. “Ultimately running was my first love,” Forsey said. “I saw more opportunities in running than skiing, but it was a tough decision.” Her career at WVU
started off strong with a successful 2013 freshman year. She was named to the All Mid-Atlantic Region Team after finishing in 25th place at the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Region Meet. In her first Big 12 Championship in 2013, she had a 25th place finish with a time of 21:34. She was also named to the Academic All-Big 12 Rookie Team. Coming off of a successful freshman year, her sophomore season did not disappoint. Some of many accomplishments include be-
ing named USTFCCCA All-American and Capital One Academic All-America Third Team. Forsey also finished top 10 at the IAAF World Junior Track and Field Championship. She came in second overall with a time of 20:18 at the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional, where she earned All Mid-Atlantic Region honors. Forsey did all of this while maintaining a 4.0 GPA. Due to an injury, Forsey sat out last season, but she plans to make up lost time this season. She is having
a phenomenal start, coming in first place and collecting a team win at her first meet of the season in Lubbock, T.X. “The Texas Tech Invitational was a good start to the season,” Forsey said. “Early season races are great for seeing where our fitness is and what we can improve on for the rest of the season. This was a really good opportunity to preview the Big 12 Championship course, which will help our team when we go back in October.”
