City Council debates student rep

by Corey Mcdonald staf writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University Student Government Association has been taking strides to create more involvement and collaboration between the SGA Board of Governors and members of the Morgantown City Council.

“If we work together we can use each other as a resource and make this community better for all of us,”

said George Capel, WVU student body president, at last week’s City Council meeting.

Capel and his Chief of Staff, Randy Jones, have been attending weekly City Council meetings and speaking during the public portion to promote their efforts to create a student ex officio member of City Council.

“When I ran for president of student government, I decided one of the best ways that we can link SGA and the

student body to the City of Morgantown as a resource for years to come is to put an ex officio type student on Morgantown City Council,” Capel said.

In recent years, SGA has utilized a student liaison to attend City Council meetings, however this affiliate is only granted a chance to speak to council members during the public portion of each meeting.

“Just having a City Council liaison like we’ve had in the past hasn’t really been

enough,” Capel said. “It hasn’t really made that person a part of the real discussion on the issues with City Council.”

This ex officio member would act as a representative of SGA sitting on the City Council for formal deliberation and would be considered a sub-committee. The member would have no vote, but would be able to partake in council discussion throughout the majority of the meeting.

“An ex officio would ac-

tually be able to sit up there with the council members during the meeting, and during the committee process as well, and give their opinion on all the issues that are on the agenda and not be limited to just a four minute public portion or to just a single issue,” Capel said.

According to Capel, discussion for an ex officio member has been in the works for some time.

WVU purchases MSU Beckley campus, hopes for fall 2016 opening by rachel mcbride staff writer @dailyathenaeum

West Virginia University completed the $8 million purchase of the former Mountain State University campus in Beckley, West Virginia on June 1.

WVU entered a due diligence agreement with the MSU Board last November. According to Rob Alsop, vice president for legal and governmental affairs for WVU, many legal and logistical steps have taken place since then to ensure the completion of the purchase.

“The residents seem delighted that WVU Beckley is now a reality,” Alsop said.

Detailed plans for opening the facility are currently in discussion, with one of the first acts being appointing Carolyn Long as the campus president. This is a dual role Long will hold while continuing to oversee WVU Tech, where she currently works. Officials also hope to open a Visitor’s Center on the WVU Beckley campus this summer and hire an admis-

sions counselor for prospective students, although courses and degree offerings are still being developed.

“The goal is to admit students in the fall of 2016,” Alsop said. “Our Board of Governors, our Academic Affairs, and facilities staffs and everyone in between are committed to a successful fall 2016 launch to meet the needs of the residents of southern West Virginia.”

Alsop said WVU’s main campus in Morgantown will provide guidance and support for the new divisional campus in Beckley as they plan their opening.

Alsop also believes that the purchase will benefit local residents as well as area students. According to Alsop, area students will benefit from having access to programs centering on professions such as nursing, other allied health fields and programs relating to tourism and hospitality that are planned to be offered at the new campus.

“We’re also open to being a good partner with area colleges and technical schools to help grow additional educa-

started. We started advocating for it and speaking to City Council members,” Capel said.

According to Capel, the main focus of this plan is the community. In recent months, a controversial divide has grown between residents of the City of Morgantown and students living in the city.

“I definitely think it’s an issue of a community di-

tional opportunities,” Alsop said. “(The former Mountain State University) will serve as a catalyst for students as well as adult learners.”

Alsop and other officials hope the economic impact of the campus will benefit community businesses as well as the tax base as the campus gains enrollment.

They also hope this purchase will help increase the number of college-educated people in West Virginia.

“That is our ultimate goal; to provide additional access to students who want to complete a college degree,” Alsop said.

The University recently held a reception at Glade Springs, near Beckley, on June 4 in honor of the new purchase.

WVU offered to purchase the Beckley campus and assets for $8 million on December 31, and this offer was granted by the Mountain State board on January 16.

The actions on June 1 completed the purchase and according to Alsop, officials are delighted the transaction is complete. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Morgantown freshman Darrius Wright is going public with his female to male gender transition with his Facebook page “Trans in Morgantown.”

With what some would call a controversial story, Darrius hopes to open doors for the transgender community by making it a topic of conversation.

“I started the Facebook page because not a lot of people understand and I just want to help educate,” Wright said. “I want people to go with me as I go through this transformation. Then they can say ‘Oh I know a transgender person, it’s totally normal.’”

Wright explained he has a loving support system behind him helping him along the way.

“I am very positive, I have a lot of support behind me with the people in my life, but I’m also always scared. I do deal with people where I work, and I have to deal with a lot of mean things said sometimes,” Wright said. “A lot of people assume things by the way I dress. Like the other day I got called the F word. So yeah, things like that really scare me but I really believe in what I’m doing. It’s 2015 and there’s so much support going around for this kind of thing.”

According to Wright, his positive attitude stems from the love and support of his own family and the guidance they have given him.

“My dad is all for it, he has always done everything right, my family is totally behind me. I am really grateful,” Wright said.

Despite what many may believe, Wright said

that his decision was not random or some sort of act of rebellion.

“I’ve always felt this way in the back of my mind and around 17 (years old), I told a few select friends ‘Hey try calling me he, try calling me this new name, let’s see if I like it.’ I was really comfortable with it and in a few weeks I came out as Darrius,” Wright said.

Choosing the perfect name seemed daunting, but Wright had certain guidelines he wanted his name to follow which made the process easier.

“I was actually reading up on one of those baby naming websites and I found Darrius, which means upholder of the good and I thought that’s something that I really want to be. There were names like Cassius and Darren as my second choices, (I was) trying to stay within the realm of Greek mythology names,” he said.

Along with his name change, Wright began researching other aspects of his transformation. During this he learned just how far behind scientifically we are in transgender studies.

“I’m not sure yet about surgery, I’m going to start hormones soon, and I’m probably going to do top surgery so I can get my chest removed, but with the bottom surgery there’s still so little research and science put into it that it’s kind of a hit or miss at this point,” Wright said.

“Yeah they can do it but can they do it right? I’m hoping maybe in the future when we know more.

A lot of people have had (surgery) and don’t like the way it turns out.”

Faculty member files second injunction against University tobacco ban by john mark shaver staff writer @dailyathenaeum

West Virginia University faculty member Dennis Cole has filed his second injunction against WVU’s tobacco ban, calling the policy both unconstitutional and inconsistent.

Cole, a research assistant at the University’s neuroscience labs, said the tobacco ban, otherwise known as Policy 57, has no legal right to be in

place.

“I can understand wanting smoking to be restricted,” Cole said. “I do object, however, to the way (of ) the University’s policy.

It’s not only draconian, it’s inconsistent... Not only (is it a ban on) smoking, it’s a ban on any use of a tobacco product. Its wording is so broad and its penalties are so severe, yet the University itself feels comfortable violating that policy by its own definition.”

Cole said, according to

Cole’s previous injunction was dismissed from court.

WVU opens new pharmacy on Evansdale Campus by john mark shaver staff writer @dailyathenaeum

Thanks to West Virginia University’s new pharmacy, long wait times, accessibility issues and expensive costs are a thing of the past for students.

The pharmacy is located on the ground floor of the new WVU Health and Education Building on Evansdale, by the WVU Urgent Care Center and the Student Rec Center.

Samuel Casey Yokum, one of the location’s pharmacists, said the new

pharmacy offers a great deal of convenience.

“Students don’t have to walk or drive to another pharmacy and wait,” Yokum said. “We’re going to keep wait times very short here for the students. The great thing, too, is that we can work with their providers much easier than other pharmacies. We have better access. We know the provider better. Really, it’s all about the convenience for the student.”

Yokum said the pharmacy will usually have full prescriptions filled in 15

minutes at most.

On top of a variety of regular insurance agencies, the pharmacy will also be accepting WVU’s student insurance, another benefit for WVU students, according to Yokum.

The pharmacy is also close to the Evansdale Campus PRT stations, making it a great convenience for students without cars.

“With the PRT, students can even access us from the Downtown Campus without having to worry about getting a ride here or walking here,” Yokum said.

Yokum noted the pharmacy provides compounding and private counseling to those with concerns or questions about their medication.

“We offer competitive pricing so if it’s something that another pharmacy offers at a set price, we will price match,” he said.

In addition to filling prescriptions, the pharmacy also provides a variety of over-the-counter medicines such as pain relief, cough and cold medications. On top of all this, the pharmacy sells an assortment of items such

as protein bars and energy shots. They also sell toiletries including tooth brushes, toothpaste, vitamins, herbal supplements, condoms and personal lubricants.

“We have a little bit of everything,” Yokum said.

The pharmacy plans to have a close, working relationship with the WVU School of Pharmacy.

“We will have students here on rotations. There (are) some exciting things happening here in the future with the School of Pharmacy,” Yokum said.

Although the pharmacy is already open, there is a plan in works to have a small grand opening once students return for the fall semester.

The pharmacy is open to the public and its current operating hours are Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., with plans to be open on Sundays once the fall semester begins. A 10 percent discount is available to WVU students and employees, senior citizens and veterans. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Judge in Colorado theater shooting trial dismisses 3 jurors CENTENNIAL, Colo. (AP) — The judge in the Colorado theater shooting trial dismissed three jurors Tuesday after learning that one was exposed to news coverage of the case and discussed it with the others.

Judge Carlos A. Samour Jr. found the three women violated his orders to avoid outside information on James Holmes’ death penalty trial and not talk about the case with anyone.

The first woman told Samour her husband called her and told her, on speakerphone, that the district attorney had sent a tweet during testimony, which had been in the news.

The other two jurors, who sometimes socialized with the first juror on breaks, were dismissed because they likely overheard her.

The issue stalled Tuesday’s testimony, but Samour refused to let it derail the trial, which is in its seventh week.

Samour’s cuts came after he separately questioned each juror at length about what they had heard. He tried to ensure both sides were comfortable with the outcome.

He decided against getting rid of a fourth juror who said she had heard the first dismissed woman

mention the word “mistrial” but didn’t know what it was about.

Samour also refused a defense request to dismiss a fifth juror, who had informed him about the situation, saying she had been honest and wasn’t compromised. “Thank you for doing the right thing,” he told her when she came forward, visibly distraught.

A total of 21 jurors and alternates remain, with the guilt phase of the trial more than halfway done. Samour likely anticipated some panelists would be exposed to media coverage and selected 12 alternates — an unusually large number — as a precaution, legal experts say. The judge in the Boston Marathon bombing trial chose six alternates, likely for similar reasons.

“The judge knew that given the attention and the amount of information that’s out there, there’s a good chance that some jurors are going to disobey him and do what’s natural,” said Alan Tuerkheimer, principal of Trial Methods, a Chicago-based jury consulting firm. “They’ve been accustomed to the whole world at their fingertips. It’s such an automatic response to try to access the world around them.”

A similar situation with fewer alternates might have caused a mistrial, he said.

Holmes has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to killing 12 people and wounding 70 others in a crowded movie theater in July 2012.

Samour instructs jurors daily not to consult with outside sources, which includes a barrage of social media. Tuesday’s problems show how difficult that can be, and jurors aren’t alone with missteps.

Last week, the judge scolded District Attorney George Brauchler for tweeting from the courtroom about a videotaped interview of Holmes that was shown to jurors. Brauchler told the judge it was an accident and apologized.

The tweet and defense requests for mistrials were discussed while jurors were away from the courtroom, so they could have known about them only from outside sources, such as social media or news reports.

Under questioning from Samour, the first juror dismissed said she got the call from her husband during lunch last week, asking her about Brauchler’s tweet while another juror was sitting next to her.

that’s going to look like,” Capel said. “I think it starts with civic engagement.”

While the majority of the City Council members approve of SGA’s attempt at adding an ex officio member, and are even advocating for it themselves, other members are more hesitant to take the action into full consideration.

“I think a student could be on City Council if they decided to run for office,” said Councilwoman Nancy Ganz.

“I applaud the students

wanting to have a closer involvement in the city, but I don’t quite know how to work that,” Ganz said. “I think students should offer to be on boards and commissions, I think students should attend City Council and speak their minds, but is a student entitled to sit on the council without running for office? No.” Capel insists that SGA is not trying to receive voting power by any means, but merely wants to be more involved in the community.

“Students just want to be a part of the conversation,” Capel said. “We’re over half the population here and we’re only growing.”

Morgantown’s uniquely diverse community makes it a true college town, with the city and the University very much intertwined.

However, a majority of the student population is not geographically represented in the City of Morgantown; many of the students commute from surrounding municipalities such as Westover and Star City.

“We know that many of

the students are not geographically residents of the city,” Ganz said. “That would mean we would have to give a protected space on the council to the landlords and all the business people that live out of the city and generate revenue for the city, and I think (that is where) we’ve run into a problem.”

Ganz also cited larger issues as factors that may not necessarily be in the hands of entities such as SGA. “There should be a bridge between the two communities,” Ganz said, referring to the City of Morgantown and the University. “If you look at other Big 12 communities, they have payment in lieu of taxes, and they follow city codes, and work with the city infrastructure.

They view the city as an important ally component. In our case, we’re not involved as leaders and we do not receive revenue as a city. So there’s other dynamics at hand here.”

Ganz also noted the economic drain the growth of the University presents to the city.

Continued from page 1 vide,” Capel said. “We hear about students versus residents, we hear about not getting along, but we never really see it.”

Included among the issue of a community divide is the calls being made for a culture change among the students.

“Everybody likes to talk about a culture change, but nobody really knows what

“In theory, as the University grows, you would think our revenue would grow as well, but it’s stayed stagnant for seven years. I think the problems are just out of hand for the administration,” Ganz said. “Does the University help pay for the expenses of the city? No.” But Capel remains confident that the first step to fixing the community divide is by promoting and creating civic engagement.

“Really our main goal with this in the long term is basically to lay a foundation for a culture change, that’s

the main basis around everything,” Capel said.

“We’ve been told time and time again that it’s in students’ hands to bring about this culture change, and yet no students have really come up with anything tangible, nobody in the community has come up with anything tangible to try and contribute towards achieving that end. This is our way of reaching out to the rest of the community and to work with City Council for years to come.”

On his Facebook page, Wright identifies as being asexual and panromantic. According to Wright, his asexual tendencies have in no way affected his ability to engage in relationships.

“My boyfriend doesn’t care honestly, he loves me and that’s all that matters.

We’re just like every other couple,” Wright said.

Wright hopes to one day be a gender therapist so that he can help people with their gender identities.

Wright also commented on Caitlyn Jenner’s recent fame.

“I think it’s great. I think people like Caitlyn Jenner really help to bring light to the transgender community and I’m just glad we’re getting some show time.”

For more information on Wright’s journey, follow “Trans in Morgantown” on Facebook.

Continued from page 1 If Darrius were to decide to undergo such operations, he must first prove psychologically that this is a permanent change he wishes to make.

“I have to take either three months of therapy with a trained gender therapist or I have to legally change my name and live as a male for a year. So I’ve started the therapy and once that is over I will talk to doctors about starting testosterone,” Wright said. “The thing about the testosterone is that I have to take it for the rest of my life because if I stop there will be complications where I could possibly die, which a lot of people don’t know or realize why it’s so important. So I’ll be getting a shot every two weeks for the rest of my life.”

Runners make the dash on National Trails Day

woody pond A&E writer

It’s National Trails Day and it calls for celebration.

Locals showed their support at Hazel Ruby McQuain Riverfront Park on June 6 for the 15th annual Deckers Creek Trail Half Marathon in true festival fashion. Mon River Trails Conservancy organized a 13.1 mile trek that began at the trailhead in Masontown, W.Va., and ended at the riverfront in Morgantown.

At noon, many runners were finishing the race around the three hour mark, while many others were walking around meeting new people, laughing, enjoying good food and relaxing after an intense workout as they awaited the awards ceremony.

The marathon occurs every year on National Trails Day, celebrated on the first Saturday in June. Ella Belling, executive director for the MOTC, was very pleased with the 2015 marathon’s success in comparison to recent years. The marathon has a limit of 700

Alex White embraces a runner at the finish line during the Deckers Creek Trail Half Marathon. participants, and with preemptive signups it was able to reach this goal quickly.

“The race was an even bigger fundraiser and turn out than (the) year before”, Belling said.

Though only 636 actually ended up competing and finishing the race, she was happy to announce that this was 13 more than last year’s total as well as

the most runners they have ever had with a record number of 25 states represented and Washington D.C. The Deckers Creek Half Marathon helps the MOTC raise funds to help them continue maintaining the Mon River and Deckers Creek Trails.

Two runners at the Trail Mix festival who were new to the experience, taking

part in their first marathons on National Trails Day, were runner Kelsey Smith from Garrett Country, Maryland and Matthew Johnson from Kingwood, W.Va. Smith said that her best friend had invited her along to “run it to say they did it.”

“Though the experience was tough and physically demanding, I will definitely be taking part next year,”

Smith said.

Johnson, who said he was from around the area and walked the trail often, said the biggest motivator for him was to take on his favorite trail. He said he felt like he had nothing to lose by competing in his first race.

The environment was very friendly, and those who had ran in this event before

said they were extremely pleased with the weather today since last year they battled the hot sun. Around Hazel Ruby McQuain Park, there were live bands performing in the amphitheater surrounded by massage tents and food tents.

Guest could choose from free pizza, fruit, vegetables, and more for those who took part in the run as well as other entertainment set up for children. The Deckers Creek Marathon brought in people of all ages, both as runners and spectating supporters, and hoped the festival atmosphere would cater well to all.

All 636 participants were given medals for finishing, which was a new addition to the event this year. It seemed to give all the runners a sense of pride and accomplishment for succeeding in finishing the race regardless of their times.

The overall male and female winners were Eric Martin of Parkersburg, with a finishing time of 1:10:30 and Laura Harnish of Pittsburgh with a finishing time of 1:17:57. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

From long strange trips, to the twisted dark world of punk rock pandemonium, this summer marks the release of two highly anticipated documentaries for music maniacs.

In celebrating the 50th anniversary of one of rock’s most admired bands, the Grateful Dead, the Netflix release of “The Other One: The Long Strange Trip of Bob Weir,” lived up to its title.

Dropping on May 22nd, “The Other One” took a non-traditional approach to a Grateful Dead documentary, telling not just the unique story of the band, or focusing on lead man Jerry Garcia, but on Weir’s contributions to the sc ene.

Showcasing Weir’s upbringing as by his adoptive family, his friendship with Garcia and live footage of Weir’s on stage performances, “The Other One” shines a light on Weir’s rise from neighborhood menace to global stardom. Directed by Mike Fleiss, this documentary gave Weir the credit he deserved. Fleiss’ interviews with Weir featured confessionals on his struggle with dyslexia at a young age and his love of ditching school, while footage of Weir’s return to his one time home with Dead members in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood of San Francisco told tales of life from inside the communal home.

With interviews from band mates Mickey Hart, who seemed to always get Weir’s leftover groupies, bassist Phil Lesh and Dead drummer Bill Kreutzmann, this documentary shows all sides of Weir’s strange tale. “The Other One: The Long Strange Trip of Bob Weir” not only reflected on Weir’s time with the Grateful Dead, but also his mixed feel-

“Peace Is The Mission” by Major Lazer Diplo has been at the forefront of electronic dance music for over a decade, under many different monikers (Major Lazer, Jack Ü). And with two album releases in the last four months he has reminded us of his constant presence.

Major Lazer was a group music project that Diplo (Thomas Pentz) created to pursue his interest in Brazilian favela music and reggae by infusing it with fastpaced beats and melodic drops. “Peace Is The Mission” was released on the first of June and is the third release from Major Lazer overall, featuring many reggae artists as well as pop singers and rappers. The influence of current pop-EDM music is heavy on this ninesong album, with less drops and more choruses than ever before seen from Major Lazer.

I found the lyrical content to be lacking, with its surface purpose focused on arousing listeners. Some of the subjects of these songs include marijuana, money, partying and finding some sort of love, sex or passion.

Not that this is surprising from this genre of music, but the delivery seems awkward and forced at times on songs.

The standout tracks are “Lean On,” the album’s lead single, which features DJ Snake and Denmark singer MØ, and “Night Rider” which features rappers Pusha T, 2 Chainz, Travi$ Scott and reggae artist Mad Cobra. If you are a Diplo fan, you may be a little underwhelmed by this album after listening to the Jack Ü release from February. But, if you are just interested in

With a very different approach to a very different genre of rock, HBO’s documentary “Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck,” delves into the thrilling and haunting story of Nirvana’s founding father Kurt Cobain. After finding heaps of Cobain archives from audiotapes, journals and home videos, director Brett Morgen’s documentary seems to illustrate the troubled and daunting life of Cobain. With dark and bleak animation, “Montage of Heck” successfully accounted for Cobain’s evolution from tortured teen to famed rocker. With artistic montages mixing animation, Cobain’s handwritten journal entries and Nirvana songs and interviews, this documentary laid out some of Cobain’s most somber thoughts, while intertwin-

ing some of the most heartwarming scenes from home videos with his wife, Courtney Love and daughter Frances Bean Cobain. Morgen’s film ends before Cobain’s suicide, showing only a onesentence title card that seems to elude from questions that stir around Cobain’s choice to take his own life. It gives only candid glances of Cobain’s scratchy writing in journal entries, where passages such as “The finest day I’ve ever had was when tomorrow never came,” hinted towards Cobain’s inevitable downfall. “Montage of Heck” combines the artist’s addiction, mental health issues, struggle with fame and punk rock into a two hour and 13 minute long rollercoaster ride. While Morgen’s film focuses less on Cobain’s music and more on his obscure and dismal lifestyle and personality, this documentary is nonetheless a mystery worth watching. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

some catchy, upbeat dance songs: let Peace be your Mission.

“How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful” by Florence + The Machine Staring out at the trees set against the blue sky on a lovely day trip to Parkersburg, I listened to “How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful” and I let it become the soundtrack to my big, blue, beautiful world. I am not what you would call a Florence + The Machine expert, far from it actually. But I used to be in love with their song from the The Great Gatsby soundtrack and I figured I’d give this album a gander.

I was surprised by how much I found myself jamming to the opening track “Ship To Wreck” which turned out to be very rock and roll. “How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful” was released on June 1, and has since reached number one on the U.K. album chart. The lyrics are very poetic and symbolic. The instrumental and vocal melodies are quite intricate, and Florence Welch does not let anything stop her from changing it up as she pleases. With a voice like hers, a band could virtually do nothing and it would still be a good song.

I really enjoyed the use of strings and horns on the album, it gave it all a very cinematic feel—listeners can imagine hearing these songs playing in a Hollywood studio. If Lana Del Rey was in a rock band from the 80s or 90s, I can see her playing music like this. The whole record is very personal, and you can feel the truth in her words as she sings of lost lovers and lost paths she missed her chance to take. It all comes to a roaring climax with a minute and a half epic outro on the tail end of the final song, “Mother.”

I highly recommend this al-

bum to anyone who enjoys a woman who can both sing and write beautifully, without being forced into a typical pop mold.

“Beneath The Skin” by Of Monsters and Men Of Monsters and Men would love for listeners to see something new beneath their skin, but it seems they have stuck to their usual script for this album. This is not necessarily a problem, but all of my expectations for this album were leisurely reached.

Released worldwide on June 9, “Beneath The Skin” is the second album from the Icelandic folk-pop band after following their global success on “My Head Is an Animal” in 2011. The balance between male vocalist Ragnar Þórhallsson and female vocalist Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir is beautiful and soothing. It reminds me of the symbiosis in the band, The xx. Of Monsters and Men stick to their acoustic sound—this is pleasant to the ear but also limits the album’s ability to change and shift style as it progresses. Many songs sound familiar and reminiscent of anything you may have previously heard from the band.

There are moments in songs where distortion and electric guitar riffs and twangs add some kick to the record, but it certainly leaves more to be desired.

The lyrics are very symbolic and contain a variety of nature metaphors and imagery to describe the lovesick heartbreak and identity crises approached by the group. “Beneath The Skin” plays great in the morning or while watching the rain, but it probably isn’t what you want to play for your gang of friends in the car on the way to a football game. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Sewing and showing what they know: Local quilters display creations caitlin worrell a&e editor @dailyathenaeum

Calling all quilters! The Country Roads Quilt Shop is ready to celebrate you as they prepare for their third annual quilt show this weekend. Friday, June 12 and Saturday, June 13, quilters from across the region will showcase their most coveted works for the public. With over 100 intricate quilts expected to be on display, shop owner Peggy Ellwood is hoping to spark even more interest in the beloved hobby.

Though the idea of a quilt show is a bit unconventional, Ellwood wanted a way to share the quilt making culture with the community.

“People will come into the store and show me their quilts. And I got to see a lot of people’s quilts, but no one else got to see them,” Ellwood said. “I thought, wouldn’t it be

Hosted by the Country Roads Quilt Shop in the historic Seneca Center, the Celebration of Quilts Show will feature all local quilting talent displaying their handcrafted designs. As the quilt extravaganza embarks on its third year, spectator turnout is expected to be larger than ever.

The event will also boast a silent auction and raffles for spectators, featuring one-ofa-kind quilt works. All of the proceeds from the Celebration of Quilts show will go to the area’s unfunded food bank charities.

In addition to the show’s proceeds, the Country Roads Quilt Shop will be running a canned food drive throughout the weekend. Spectators are asked to donate non-perishable items that will go toward helping the state’s child hunger and Snack Pack programs. There will also be information available on area food pantry efforts to raise

awareness of poverty and hunger in the community.

The Celebration of Quilts Show will be held from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. this Friday and Saturday in the Seneca Center in Morgantown. The event is free and open to the pub-

The importance of LGBT month

en.wikipedia.org

The Stonewall Riots are known as the breaking point for LGBT tensions in the U.S. Many people know that June is designated as LGBT Pride Month, a time for people everywhere to celebrate who they are and reflect on the advances made in the struggle for equality. However, not everyone is aware that June is the month for LGBT pride in remembrance of the Stonewall Rebellion of 1969, a major turning point for LGBTQ rights in the United States. The rebellion occurred as a result of a police raid at the Stonewall

Inn, a gay bar in New York City. Raids on LGBT establishments were extremely common at the time and drag queens or those wearing clothing not considered appropriate for their gender were often arrested.

On June 28, 1969, things ended differently. The raid drew a crowd of people, and the friction between the crowd and police sparked an all-out riot.

Police were forced to stop arresting the Stonewall Inn’s patrons as the crowd

of people—some gay, some straight—began throwing bricks, bottles and anything else available at officers. The resulting violence caused a massive shift in the gay community.

People who had once been afraid and silent began feeling empowered by their newfound visibility. Members and supporters of the LGBT community began to openly become activists for the cause.

Since the Stonewall Riots, the United States has

been gradually making progress toward equality for LGBTQ citizens. Today, gay couples in most states can marry the person they love, with other states steadily following suit. There is more LGBTQ visibility now than ever and people who come out are more likely to be met with acceptance and support. However, there is still a long way to go. Gay men still cannot donate blood. Transgender individuals still need better le-

gal recognition and access to medical resources that may be necessary for their transition. Transgender as well as gender non-conforming people still need safe access to public restrooms. Bisexual, pansexual and asexual people are still fighting to be visible and understood. The progress that has been made is amazing, but the fight is far from over.

This editorial board strongly encourages the LGBTQ community and its

allies to enjoy the events that Pride Month has to offer, but do take care not to forget how we came to be able to celebrate LGBT Pride. The festivities that so many people look forward to every year were hard won, so remember the people who fought for this to happen. A community that remembers its history is a community that will continue marching forward into a brighter future. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

The problem with Trainor’s “Dear Future Husband” eMILY TORBETT COLUMNIST @EMILYTORBSDA

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past couple of months, you’ve no doubt had to suffer through at least a few listens of Meghan Trainor’s latest single “Dear Future Husband.” The song makes an attempt at a modern take on 1950’s housewifery and is written as a letter of detailed and demanding instructions for Trainor’s future husband. If you don’t listen to the lyrics at all you’d probably find it quite catchy at first, but become extremely annoyed by it after the fourth or fifth listen. It’s the type of bubblegum pop that gets stuck in your head and plays on a continuous, nightmarish loop.

While the song is most often criticized for its annoying poppy beat, what really gets under my skin are the lyrics. To say that they’re awful would be an under-

statement. For your reading pleasure, here are some of the song’s highlights: “Take me on a date. I deserve it, babe. And don’t forget the flowers every anniversary. ‘Cause if you’ll treat me right, I’ll be the perfect wife. Buying groceries, buybuying what you need.” “After every fight, just apologize, and maybe then I’ll let you try and rock my body right. Even if I was wrong, you know I’m never wrong.

Why disagree?” “You gotta know how to treat me like a lady. Even when I’m acting crazy, tell me everything’s alright.”

In my opinion, this song highlights the worst brand of modern pseudofeminism. Basically, in saying things like, “you got that 9 to 5, but baby so do I, so don’t be thinking I’ll be home and baking apple pies. I never learned to cook” Trainor is basically saying “you better understand up front that I’m not going to be the traditional woman.” In saying things like “take me on a date, I

deserve it babe. And don’t forget the flowers every anniversary” Trainor is basically saying, “I expect you to be the traditional man and follow suit in traditional sitcom-like gendered behavior.”

To be clear, I am unequivocally a feminist. I believe in total equality of the sexes, and true equality by nature is not always beneficial to my gender. The bottom line is that if this song was written and sung by a male artist, for example, if Justin Bieber was on the radio singing about his future wife and saying things like, “even if I’m wrong, you know I’m never wrong, why disagree?” it would be considered an abusive disgrace. Feminism is a coin with two sides, and if you’re going to take the stance that women should defy their traditional gender roles, you forfeit the right to demand the unquestioning conformity to them by men. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Trainor become popular after her song “All About That Bass” became a hit last summer.

5 things you may want to consider when going to the farmers’ market Elise Giongco UC Santa Cruz

Do you need some fresh air? Fresh fruit? Or anything “fresh,” for that matter? If you answered “yes” to any of those, then I suggest you go to your nearest farmers’ market! Farmers’ markets provide the perfect opportunity to purchase local goods, support people in your community, and simply enjoy a nice day out.

The first time I went to the local market, I felt surprisingly unprepared. I didn’t realize that one city could have more than one market (the Santa Cruz community has 5!) and each occur at different times and on different days, that the markets would be selling different things, or that I would even think to go again. I tested out the different markets in the Santa Cruz area to see which one worked best for me and re-

DA

alized that there are actually a few things to keep in mind when shopping at a farmers’ market.

1. What do you want to get out of it?

Even if you’re just strolling around, it’s helpful to know what you’re looking for when you go to the market. Do you want to listen to live music while you grab a quick breakfast? Maybe you want to get a little artsy and make crafts, or you just want to purchase vegetables to cook for dinner later. Deciding what you want to do can really help you pick a market to attend.

I wanted to try new things, eat yummy meals, and find healthier snacks.

It took me a few visits, but the market downtown is ultimately my favorite!

Here is the website to take a quick glance at the different times and locations in Santa Cruz: http://www. santacruzfarmersmarket. org 2. Cash or credit?

While a only few booths accept credit/debit cards as a form of payment, all of them will accept cash.

However, some of the markets have a booth that allows you to “purchase” wooden tokens with your card to take place of the cash. From experience though, it’s easier to shop at the farmers’ market when you have cash ready! It definitely saves you from feeling disappointed when you can’t buy that delicious bag of dried fruit, and it comes in handy when you want to tip your favorite vendor/musician.

3. Transportation/ Parking Depending on the location you choose, you’ll be able to decide if it’s close enough to walk to, if you have to take the metro bus to get there, or if you have to drive a few minutes and find a good parking spot. If you decide to drive, keep in mind that not all of the lots close to the market will be free so remember to bring

a few quarters just in case.

If you decide to walk, ride your bike, or take the bus, I would also keep in mind how much you’d like to bring back because some of the items can get a little heavy.

4. Time First, think about the time of the day in regards to weather because I can’t tell you how many times I’ve walked around wishing I wore shorts or have had to end my trip early because I didn’t bring a sweater. After you figure that out, think about how much time you’d like to spend at the market, and also consider how much time you are actually able to spare. Do you want to go right when it opens so you can have the ability to have first choice, or do you prefer going at the more popular hours when everyone is trying to buy things and taste food? If you go too close to the closing time, some of the booths will already be packing up, and

some of the items you want to purchase or eat will already be gone.

The current times for the market located in downtown Santa Cruz.

My favorite time to go is about an hour after everyone has settled in. I get to to enjoy the market without being rushed or overwhelmed, share some small talk with the vendors, and have a good selection of produce.

5. Bring reusable bags Not all of the markets will have a booth that sells reusable/grocery bags so keep that in mind when you visit!

If you decide to go to the market to purchase things, I suggest bringing at least one bag with you. The size and style of your bag will depend on your mode of transportation and shopping list, but no matter what you bring, you should feel comfortable with getting a little dirt in/ on it and be able to carry it around the market with you.

The booths that sell food will

provide plastic bags to put their produce in, but it can get a little difficult carrying separate bags around, especially if you’re still shopping or want to take a break to eat something there.

Mike, a proud vendor of Lone Oak Ranch for over 20 years, smiles and explains that his favorite thing about the markets is talking to the people.

Whether you consider these reminders or not, the farmers’ market offers a variety of things so a trip to the market will always be fun! Each visit, I walk in with a different intention and come out with a different experience—one visit I came home with a balloon giraffe and a bowl of Indian food, the next visit I ate three oysters and brought home a jar of honey. Even as someone who visits at least every other week, I still find something new to appreciate or try. If you’re up for it, I challenge you to try something new each time you visit!

Tin 202: Serving up cocktails, cuisine and class ally litten

A&E writer @dailyathenaeum

Morgantown’s infamous High Street is filled with neighborhood pubs, bars and clubs. Among the typical college town establishments comes the breath of fresh air that is Tin 202. Offering Morgantown residents a classy, upscale cuisine, Tin 202 has become the talk of the town.

Tin 202 was opened in November 2014 by Chris Evans and Sam Schneider. Catering to the young professionals of the Morgantown area, Tin 202 has quickly become a popular Morgantown joint.

“Tin 202 brings ambience to Morgantown,” said Mike Roberts, sous chef for the local eatery. “It has a homey and comfortable vibe.”

Located at 202 High Street, Tin 202 is located in the historic Brock, Reed & Wade building that has stood downtown for over 100 years. Proud of the beautifully restored tin ceiling, Evans and Schneider incorporated the metal into the name of the establishment.

The iconic ceiling and the traditional furnishings create an intimate setting, perfect for those looking for a night out with friends.

Shannon McKenna/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Tin 202, Morgantown’s new restaurant and bar, offers a variety of upscale American cusines and cocktails for the Morgantown residents.

“We offer a big city feel,” said Tin 202 bartender Josh Graham.

Besides its stylish decor, Tin 202 also offers a wide variety of cocktails, fine wines and delicious food. The menu is filled with items such as the famous Bruschetta, Mango Shrimp, Lamb Chops and Crab Cakes. Tin

202 tops off its entrees with a stellar dessert menu, including authentic Tiramisu and Creme Brulee. Although the menu features some pricier items, the spectacular cusine makes it money well spent. Making each menu item as delicious as possible, employees at Tin 202 pride themselves on their unique

recipes and cocktails. When entering the restaurant, customers are guaranteed a delicious, one of a kind meal.

“My favorite entree is the crab cakes,” Graham said.

“They are the best crab cakes outside Maryland.”

To create a prohibition era feel, Tin 202 serves traditional cocktails such as

Sazerac, which was the first cocktail made in America. They also offer fresh espresso for those dining in or those on the go.

“People can run in here and get a fresh espresso instead of going to Starbucks,” Graham said.

Tin 202 also takes pride in their local community.

By using local food and alcohol, Tin 202 is helping other small businesses succeed.

“Out of the eight beer taps we have, six are local,” Graham said.

Open Monday through Saturday, Tin 202 is the perfect place for lunch or a drink after work. With a rotating, farm-forward menu, the owners plan on expanding their current selection of food.

“We are going to start doing in-house cheeses, fermenting, pickling, things like that,” Roberts said.

Born and raised in the area, Evans plans on beautifying his hometown with new upscale additions to High Street.

“The owners just signed a lease for the building next door,” Graham said. “It will be a completely different business with a new menu.”

The new business will not only have the same management but it will also have the same classy vibe as Tin 202.

Although the new business won’t be ready for a year and a half, it is definitely something to look forward to.

Ferris’ Capturing the Light catches eyes at the Monongalia Arts Center kendall snee a&e writer @dailyathenaeum

Lynn Ferris’ Capturing the Light series, which runs through the month of June, is spicing up the art scene in downtown Morgantown. The display, located in the Benedum Gallery of the Monongalia Arts Center (MAC), debuted on June 5th with a public opening reception.

Ferris’ works are the very definition of Capturing the Light, with a detailed focus on the environments and situations in which it possesses.

The artist is some how capable of making still life’s have luminous effects, curvatures and almost a personality of their own.

For example, two paintings stood out amongst the rest, both of them streetscapes.

The first depicted a sandpaper-colored house with a man walking toward it in the rain entitled, “Annapo-

lis Rain.” The second showed a bustling city sidewalk with yet another man walking towards a brightly lit geometric building. This piece was titled “Night Taxi II.” While both displayed a similar scene, her use of color and detail made the portraits seem unique and equally captivating.

From the way a bumper light shines a red glow onto things it passes, or the way a street light casts a milky yellow color onto pedestrians, Ferris remembered to include it. It is these intricate placement that make her paintings so beautiful.

Another impeccable feature to Ferris’ collection is the different demographics depicted in her art. She covers things like grand staircases and metropolitan cityscapes, to teenagers playing in the street and graffiti. Her watercolor mastery spans far beyond the typical sunset or beach scene often shown in this style of work.

Scientifically speaking, there is an array of colors fractured and reflected through light. It is truly remarkable the way that Ferris paints the colors familiar to our eyes, but also the undertones.

For instance in her transparent watercolor piece “Prague,” Ferris paints a river adjacent to some large buildings. But what makes the portrait so interesting, are all of the little details one can find just looking into the painted reflections in the water.

“Murk” is depicted with purples, blues and undertones that mix to give one the reflection of the buildings. But she keeps spectators guessing with flecks of green and even orange. The tight knit framework is an attempt to unravel color. However, her keen eye for lighting and reflection allows her complicated coloring methods to appear seamless.

Another element repeated throughout her collection is the direction in which most

of her characters are going, which is away. While some of her paintings depicted characters facing forward, the ones in which the character is leaving the frame seem more dramatic. With pieces showing them walking away, there are large climbing shadows coming from the walkers’ feet. Creating a monstrous and exciting effect, the tall creatures seem to follow from painting to painting.

Whether it be large scenes with interesting puzzle-like elements, or small intricate inanimate objects, Ferris has captured the varying light in each. She effortlessly makes the normal and uninteresting, beautiful and somewhat fascinating.

Spectators can enjoy Ferris’ breathtaking works until June 27 at the MAC. For more information on Lynn Ferris visit http://www.lynnferris.com. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Morgantown’s best outdoor escapes Saving Abel to rock out Schmitt’s ally litten

jillian clemenete

Nothing is more tranquil then the beautiful mountain scenery that surrounds us.

During the week, everyone seems to be busy with school, work and just life in general.

They seem to forget the location they are in. Take a break from your usual routine and enjoy one of the many relaxing outdoor escapes in our community.

Earl L. Core Arboretum If you are looking for a nice walk to a rural spot right here in town, make sure you check out the Earl L. Core Arboretum, owned by West Virginia University. Located next to the Coliseum, you can drive, ride the PRT or walk the scenic Rail Trail to the quiet park.

With small trails and beautiful plant life, the Core Arboretum offers gorgeous views of the Monongahela River and Westover, W. Va. Coopers Rock State Park If you have not visited Coopers Rock State Park, you need to go immediately. Located fifteen minutes away from downtown Morgantown, Coopers Rock offers great, local campgrounds with breathtaking scenery.

The famous overlook offers amazing views of the mountains and the winding river below. If one is looking for an afternoon hike, the State Park offers many trails that descend deep into the green forest. Ravens Rock, a more vigorous trail, is also located in Coopers Rock State Park.

Although it is a four-mile hike, the beautiful overlook is well worth the trek.

Dorsey’s Knob Park Another local recreation area, Dorsey’s Knob Park is located only five minutes from downtown Morgantown. The 70-acre park is home to Sky Rock, a large boulder that stands 600 feet above the neighboring Appalachian Mountains. All of the surrounding mountains, valleys,

Edgy southern-rock band Saving Abel returns to the Morgantown area tonight at Schmitt’s Saloon. This isn’t a first for this well-known band, but the experience itself will be.

Yahoo! and LiveNation are working together to give a live broadcast of the performance worldwide on Yahoo Live.

“The LiveNation broadcast is going to be something new, and that’s what I’m looking forward to,” said Troy Koon, the entertainment director of Schmitt’s Saloon. “Everyone around the world (can) jump on a computer and check out Schmitt’s Saloon.”

Koon is also excited to see all the equipment that’s expected to roll in.

“They’re going to bring in huge production trucks (and) a huge production bus like you’d see at a sporting event or a TV show,” Koon said.

He also said it’s something Saving Abel brought to Schmitt’s, not the other way around. “(Saving Abel was) approached by Yahoo! and LiveNation to do the live event, and they thought Schmitt’s Saloon would be the perfect place to do their show from,” Koon said.

The band has played at Schmitt’s Saloon a few times

before, but this style of show is definitely a first. The band also brings a new discography, a recently released a new album, “Blood Stained Revolution.” It represents the fact that the band is starting over on a new slate because it’s the first CD release with two new band members: Scotty Austin on lead vocals and Steven Pulley as the drummer.

Despite the minor changes, the band is still one cohesive family of sorts and just tried to roll with the punches. This new release shows that perseverance.

Additionally, it was released Nov. 11, 2014, on Veterans Day. This is one of the few aspects that recently did not change and probably never will about Saving Abel: They love to honor the military.

“I was raised by a Vietnam Veteran, my step-father. I have two brothers that were in the Armed Forces, one in the Army and the other in the Navy,” said Austin, the lead vocalist, on the website. “I couldn’t join the military because I’m epileptic. So I want to do my part by trying to make sure the heroes are appreciated for what they do.”

Saving Abel has actually travelled to locations like Iraq, Qatar, Cuba, Japan and India just to play for these troops and truly give back to the people that give their lives to defend American freedom.

Jason Null, the guitarist of Saving Abel, said about play-

ing for the troops, “We are gone a lot but our families are just a phone call away, and sometimes that is a luxury for our men and women. I could go on and on, but in short it’s respect and love.”

Speaking of love, Koon enjoys bringing Saving Abel back to Schmitt’s Saloon.

“They’re a very good band, a lot of fun to work with, and they bring a big crowd,” Koon said.

Saving Abel plays at 9:30 p.m. tonight, Wednesday, June 10, at Schmitt’s Saloon.

Tickets are $15. The Yahoo! and LiveNation live stream can be viewed by logging on to http://screen.yahoo.com/ live/event/saving-abel at 9:30 p.m.

ALL-AMERICAN HONORS

Second baseman Kyle Davis clinks helmets with a teammate after scoring a home run in a game against Marshall in April.

WVU’s Myers and Davis named to Freshman All-American First Team david statman

associate sports editor @djstatman77

West Virginia University baseball players Kyle Davis and BJ Myers became the first Mountaineers in seven years to receive Freshman All-Amer ican honors last week, after breaking out as two of head coach Randy Mazey’s top performers this season.

The starting second baseman for the Mountaineers this season, Davis was selected to the

Freshman All-American First Team by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association on Monday, after leading West Virginia with a .353 batting average, hitting four home runs and notching 31 RBI. A Cincinnati native, Davis was also named a member of the All-Big 12 Second Team along with first baseman Jackson Cramer and shortstop Taylor Munden. Davis’ .353 average was third in the Big 12, good enough to also earn a Louisville Slug-

ger Freshman All-American nod from Collegiate Baseball newspaper last week.

Joining Davis on the Louisville Slugger AllAmer ican team was starting pitcher BJ Myers, a Texan r ighthander who stepped into a wide-open starting rotation and locked down a role as Mazey’s regular Friday night starter.

Myers made 14 appearances in his freshman season, nine of them starts, finishing 2-5 with a 3.82

ERA and 60 strikeouts in 63.2 innings.

While rotation mates Ross Vance and Chad Donato earned All-Big 12 Honorable Mentions, Myers was named to the AllBig 12 Rookie Team with Davis.

Only two other Mountaineers have ever been named Freshman AllAmericans. The last West Virginia player to receive such honors was hardhitting second baseman Jedd Gyorko, a Morgantown native who became one of the most decorated

hitters in the history of the program.

Gyorko hit .409 with eight home runs and 63 RBI in his freshman season in 2008, a stellar start to a Mountaineer career that saw him hit .421 in his sophomore year and 19 home runs his junior year.

Gyorko was a second round pick in the 2010 MLB Draft, and has since become a Major League regular with the San Diego Padres.

The other West Virginia player to receive Freshman All-American hon-

ors was lightning-fast center fielder Adam White in 2006.

White hit .368 that season with one home run, 27 RBI and a team-high 19 stolen bases. White was a 9th round pick of the Cleveland Indians in 2007, and went on to a three-year minor league career.

Mazey’s squad finished 27-27 this season, 9-13 in the Big 12 and seventh in their nine-team conference. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Mountaineer players represent Canada in WWC

West Virginia University women’s soccer players Kadeisha Buchanan and Ashley Lawrence hit the pitch this weekend, representing their native country of Canada in the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup on home soil.

Both Buchanan and Lawrence started and played the full 90 minutes in Canada’s first Group A match Saturday, facing China in Edmonton in the opening game of the international tournament.

Canada won the match

1-0 on a Christine Sinclair penalty goal with just seconds remaining in extra time.

Already established regulars for Canadian head coach John Herdman, Buchanan and Lawrence received their selections to the World Cup squad after award-winning seasons with Nikki Izzo Brown’s Mountaineer team this past season.

“To have these two athletes compete at the highest stage possible in soccer, and to know that they have developed here at West Virginia, just makes me so proud that I am able to work with them,” Izzo-Brown

said in an interview with WVUSports.com.

“I am able to help them achieve their goals and maximize their potential.”

At just 19 years old, rising junior Kadeisha Buchanan has emerged as one of the top center backs in Canada, earning her 36th international cap on Saturday.

Buchanan’s selection comes after many strong performances with Canada’s youth teams, where she was named the U-20 Player of the Year two years running.

Twice the Big 12 Player of the Year and twice an AllBig 12 First Team selection at West Virginia, Buchanan

has established herself as a vital link for the Canadian team, ranked eighth in the world in the official FIFA rankings. Wearing the No. 3 shirt, Buchanan logged two shots on goal against China on Saturday.

A Toronto native, midfielder Ashley Lawrence also received All-Big 12 First Team in both of her first two years with the Mountaineers. Lawrence led West Virginia in assists last season with seven, second in the Big 12, also notching four goals.

Lawrence’s start on Saturday, in her 19th career appearance with the senior national team, came

after mainly being used as a substitute during her two years with Herdman’s squad. Lawrence got off two shots against China, neither of which were directed on goal.

While Buchanan and Lawrence normally ply their trade at Morgantown’s Dick Dlesk Soccer stadium, on Saturday they were on the turf in front of over 50,000 spectators at Edmonton’s Commonwealth Stadium, normally the home of the Canadian Football League’s Edmonton Eskimos.

Canada’s win vaulted them into a tie atop of Group A after the Netherlands won

by an identical 1-0 scoreline over New Zealand, also on Saturday in Edmonton. Only once has a host nation won the Women’s World Cup on their home soil: The United States in 1999.

Canada will next be in action Thursday against New Zealand in Edmonton, before closing out group play against the Netherlands next Monday in Montreal.

If Canada can finish in the top two of their fourteam group, they’ll be through to the knockout stages for just the second time in their history. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Horned Frogs play 16 innings to advance in CWS

TCU’s Jeremie Fanagan slides safely into third with a first-inning triple, beating the throw to Texas A&M third baseman Logan Nottebrok in the first game of the Super Regional.

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) -- Garrett Crain was running toward third base with the ball in front of him. The TCU senior second baseman kept going all the way to the College World Series.

Crain scored from second base on an error in the 16th inning and the Horned Frogs are going to Omaha for the second year in a row after a 5-4 win over Texas A&M in a game that ended early Tuesday morning.

"The 16th inning, you have to try and force something. If that's the seventh of eighth inning, and that's the game-tying run or winning run like it was, maybe you don't do that," Crain said. "Being what it was, we have to score a run."

Crain drew a leadoff walk off Ryan Hendrix (64), the third time in extra innings TCU's No. 9 hitter led off and got on base. He got to second on a wild pitch with two outs, and

scored when Evan Skoug hit a hard chopper on which third baseman Ronnie Gideon made a backhanded try.

The ball was briefly in his glove, and Skoug was credited with a single. But Crain rounded third after the ball dropped to the ground, even with thirdbase coach Bill Mosiello telling him to stop, and scored as Gideon threw wildly by the plate.

"That was just hard to watch, kind of slow motion," A&M coach Rob Childress said. "Don't field it cleanly there at third, and we've got to make a rush throw, a tough throw, tough chance, tough pick and try to apply a tag. It's hard to swallow."

Crain crossed the plate right at 1 a.m., ending a game that took 5 hours, 55 minutes to play and finally give the Horned Frogs (4913) the eighth and final spot in the College World Series.

"In 25 years of coaching,

that's the best baseball game that I've ever been part of," TCU coach Jim Schlossnagle said. "One of the greatest college baseball games ever. Had to be, considering what's on the line."

The Horned Frogs are going to Omaha for the third time in six seasons, and each time has needed a deciding third game in the super regional to advance. They won at Texas in 2010, and beat Pepperdine at home last season.

Mitchell Traver (9-2), the seventh TCU pitcher, struck out six over four innings in only his second relief appearance this season.

Michael Barash and Nick Banks homered for Texas A&M (50-14), the only of the five SEC teams that made it to super regionals that won't be at the College World Series.

Big 12 regular-season champion TCU plays Sunday against LSU, one of the

four SEC teams that did make it to Omaha.

Texas A&M won 2-1 in 10 innings on Sunday to force the clinching game and also played two extra-inning games in the College Station regional a week earlier. The Horned Frogs advanced from their regional at home after their big comeback in the clincher, from seven runs down with four outs to go, to beat North Carolina 9-8 in 10 innings a week ago Monday.

The Aggies tied the game with two runs in the ninth without a hit, after standout but struggling closer Riley Ferrell hit the first batter and walked the next. Tyler Alexander walked the only batter he faced before the Aggies got even at 4-4 on consecutive RBI groundouts by Mitchell Nau and Logan Taylor after Preston Guillory came into the game.

TCU junior left-hander Alex Young, picked 43rd overall by Arizona in

baseball's amateur draft, struck out 10 in 6 2-3 innings, scattering six hits while allowing only one run.

Alexander was taken later in the second round, 65th by Detroit, while Ferrell went undrafted through the first 75 picks completed Monday night.

TCU had the bases loaded with one out in the 14th when Skoug hit a liner that ricocheted hard off Hendrix. First baseman G.R. Hinsley, who had just entered the game as a pinch-hitter in the top of the inning, picked up and threw home for the force. Hendrix then got a couple of tosses to make sure he was OK before getting an inning-ending grounder.

That was the sixth time in seven innings that TCU had its leadoff hitter on base - and in scoring position - without scoring.

TCU left 16 runners on base, and Texas A&M

www.houstonchronicle.com

stranded 17.

The matchup of former Southwest Conference foes, who passed each other on the way in and out of the Big 12, drew big crowds to Lupton Stadium. Texas A&M left the Big 12 for the SEC three years ago, at the same time TCU moved into the Big 12.

A record crowd of 7,199 was at Game 1 on Saturday, when TCU won 13-4, and that mark was bested

by Sunday's crowd of 7,383 for the Aggies' 2-1 win in 10 innings. Monday night's attendance was 7,294 and most of them were still there when the game ended.

Even without the Aggies, the SEC still will have four teams in the College World Series for the third time (1997 and 2004), with defending national champion Vanderbilt, Florida, LSU and Arkansas there.

The ACC in 2006 was the only other league to make up half the CWS field

Blackhawks draw on history in Stanley Cup final

Blackhawks left wing Tuevo Teravainen (right) celebrates with defenseman Duncan Kieth (left) after scoring a goal against the Lightning in game one of the Stanley Cup Finals.

CHICAGO (AP) -- Jonathan Toews remembers his first postseason series in 2009, and the emotions that went along with each game.

These days, the playoffs are a much different experience for the captain of the Chicago Blackhawks.

There was no panic for Toews and company on Tuesday, a day after a 3-2 loss to steady Tampa Bay shoved Chicago into a 2-1 deficit in the Stanley Cup Final. No outward display of frustration.

Trying for their third NHL title in six seasons, the Blackhawks expected a fight - and the skilled Lightning

are delivering just that on every level.

"If you don't want that challenge, if you don't want that spotlight almost, then you shouldn't be here," Toews said. "I think we all work for that. We want to play those important games."

One of those important games is coming up on Wednesday night. The Lightning have clamped down on Toews and Patrick Kane, limiting the highscoring duo to a single point in the series, and can grab control of the final with their fifth straight road win in Game 4.

"This is going to be a good test for this group," Tampa Bay captain Steven Stamkos said. "Obviously they have the experience. But we're going through it. Like I said a couple minutes ago, you have to go through these situations to gain that experience. We seem to rise to the occasion every round."

The Lightning jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the second round against Montreal, and then dropped two in a row before eliminating the Canadiens with a 4-1 win in Game 6. They headed home with a 3-2 lead in the Eastern Conference finals against the New York Rang-

ers, and then had to return to Madison Square Garden for a 2-0 victory in Game 7.

Tampa Bay's experience playing with the lead in its previous two playoff series could help in the final against Chicago.

"I truly believe we've grown as a team through some of our struggles," coach Jon Cooper said.

"You just think of last night's game. We're in a pretty hostile environment. It's a 1-1 game. We go down in the third. There was no hang the head. It was, `OK, now we got to dig the heels in and go get this one.'"

The Lightning replied

13 seconds after the Blackhawks grabbed a 2-1 lead, with Ondrej Palat stuffing home a rebound for the tying goal. Cedric Paquette then scored with 3:11 remaining to put Tampa Bay in front for good.

Palat's goal continued a disturbing trend for the Blackhawks, who have allowed 10 goals within two minutes after they scored in the playoffs, including five inside of a minute, according to STATS. "We got to be better in situations like that," defenseman Brent Seabrook said.

"It's happened a few times throughout the playoffs."

fansided.com

The Blackhawks were hampered by an upperbody injury for Johnny Oduya, who missed the last part of the second period and played five minutes in the third. Any issue for Chicago's top four defensemen could have a major impact on the series, but coach Joel Quenneville said he thinks Oduya will be OK. "He looked all right today," he said. "We'll see how he is tomorrow."

The same could be said of Quenneville's team, which is used to coming up with clutch postseason goals, not digging them out of its own net.

Historic Woodburn looks to community for new life ally litten

a&e writer @dailyatheNaeum

Nestled in the heart of the Morgantown neighborhood of Woodburn stands an old brick schoolhouse, once known as Woodburn Elementary School. Located on Fortney Street, the schoolhouse looms over the surrounding neighborhood.

After closing its doors to students in 2010, the school has been taken over by the City of Morgantown in hopes of repurposing the historic building.

In 2014, the Woodburn School Redevelopment Commission was created to help fix and reuse the building. In the past year and a half, many ideas have been tossed around with what to do with the old building. Although apartments were briefly considered, the Redevelopment Commission has decided to turn the old building into a nonprofit center, a recreational

center or a music and arts center.

The Boys and Girls club, a program that provides children with after school care and companionship, currently occupies the first floor of Woodburn School. Girls on the Run, a non-profit for preteen girls, currently occupies the old principal’s office in the basement of the building. Individuals can also rent out the building or playground.

In hopes of more nonprofits filling the extra space, the Woodburn School Redevelopment Commission started a free monthly live music event known as First Fridays at Woodburn. First Fridays at Woodburn are to help draw attention to the beautiful, yet half empty historic building.

“We started First Fridays at Woodburn in September of last year,” said Nikki Hoffman, secretary of the Redevelopment Commission.

“Local bands come to play and we usually have a pot-

luck dinner or local restaurants donate food.”

In the past Papa Johns, Mario’s Fishbowl and Qdoba have all donated food to help the cause. Local bands such as Apple Pappy, the West Virginia Bluegrass Band, Rob Shipley and many others have also participated in the event.

“We have about 50 to 70 people every month,” Hoffman said. “There has been a decrease in attendance this past month but a lot of people have stuff going on with school so that is understandable.”

The Redevelopment Commission has big plans for the near future. With the old playground still located next to the school, the Commission has taken it upon themselves to redo the play area.

“On any given day, kids from the neighborhood are outside playing on the old, rusty playground,” Hoffman said. “We would like to make the playground more

accessible.”

If the Woodburn School Redevelopment Commission receives enough grants, a splash park, a zero depth water area, will be put in the playground area and the parking lot will be extended.

Other plans for the building include a gym for local community members.

“Morgantown is in need of a rec center because most residents cannot use the WVU Rec Center,” Hoffman said.

Although the Redevelopment Commission is finding alternative uses for Woodburn School, they will still cater to the Boys and Girls Club, who hope to stay in the building long term.

“The Boys and Girls Club recently came to use looking to lease more space. We will work with them regarding the future of the building,” Hoffman said.

First Fridays at Woodburn are held each Friday from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The

Pratt: Front and center UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. (AP) – On a recent afternoon on a Universal soundstage, Chris Pratt was regaling a group of journalists with a story about elk hunting. Suddenly, a gust of air blew through the room, toppling a giant fake plant onto a similarly giant speaker before both careened toward one unlucky reporter.

Everyone gasped but stayed in their seats. Everyone, except Pratt, who sprang from his chair with a gravely serious expression, ready to help however he could.

There wasn't much that needed doing in this case.

The shrub-speaker combination missed the reporter.

But there was no missing the instinct.

The perennial goofball turned leading man wasn't merely a hero on screen.

Apparently, he has the right stuff in reality, too.

"That's who he is. He takes responsibility for the wellbeing of those around him," said Pratt's "Jurassic World" co-star Bryce Dallas Howard.

On set, things were no different.

"He gets funnier and more charming as things get more difficult. It comes from a place of genuinely wanting to make it fun for everyone else," said director Colin Trevorrow.

Even after crashing his motorcycle on the Jurassic set, Pratt insisted on reassuring the cast and crew the show would go on.

"That one really jolted me," he recalled in an interview. Off camera, the bike locked up when he used the brakes in some mud. He was thrown 20 feet and had to dive roll over a prop gun strapped to his back.

"I was immediately swarmed by everyone," he said. "When you're on a movie and that much money is on the line, should your star get hurt... I'm like, `Listen dudes, you've got to back the (expletive) off for a second. Am I fine? How could I possibly know that? Give me a day and I'll tell you. It seems OK right now.'"

Howard, through her own career and by proxy of lineage (her dad is Ron Howard), has been around the biggest names in the business for her entire life, and dislikes the overused and undervalued phrase "movie star." She prefers terms like "recognizable" and "wellknown" and believes that there have only been maybe 15 true movie stars in the history of cinema.

Pratt, however, makes the cut.

A few years ago, things looked very different for Pratt. He had a steady gig as the affable Andy Dwyer

on NBC's "Parks and Recreation" and would pop up in movies here and there, but usually as a goofy sidekick.

Then everything changed in 2014.

With leading roles in both "The Lego Movie" and the little-known, high-stakes Marvel property "Guardians of the Galaxy," the year was almost a test. Could he carry a film? Would audiences respond?

The answer was an unequivocal yes. "Guardians" became the third highest earning movie of the year, and "The Lego Movie" was the fifth. Both are getting sequels.

Now, Pratt has another trial looming: "Jurassic World," the fourth installment in the "Jurassic Park" series that Steven Spielberg launched in 1993, out Friday.

Pratt plays Owen Grady, a military man turned Velociraptor trainer at an amusement park that devolves into dino chaos. If his `Guardians' character, Peter Quill, was Han Solo, Owen Grady is Indiana Jones - a little more serious, a little less rakish and definitely not silly.

As he delves into higher profile projects, Pratt is only concerned about making movies that don't just "aim for the middle." He wants audiences to truly feel like profits aren't the sole, or most important, objective. Also, even in these leading roles, he doesn't give himself credit for a film's success.

Fame and stardom can be ephemeral, too, and Pratt likes to keep things light and sincere. He recently posted a humorous "apology" on his Facebook page "for whatever it is I end up saying during the forthcoming `Jurassic World' press tour." He was keenly aware of the various "gates" and "scandals" mined out of recent "Avengers" interviews and others.

"It was a fun way for me to poke fun at the PC police, but also, truly to pre-emptively apologize in the likelihood that I would say something inappropriate," he said.

He also stole his Owen costume from set, telling Howard that he'd like to wear it to hospitals to visit kids in character.

There are the usual downsides of increased fame, but Pratt, who's married to actress Anna Faris, knew the score going in.

"I don't much like the elements that pertain to my private life and my personal space being diminished, but with that there's a trade. I'm now on a short list to have access to amazing filmmakers and material," he said.

"I'm just hoping I never get caught complaining about it."

NEW YORK (AP) – Class will resume at Degrassi High as the beloved young people's show finds a new campus on Netflix.

Renamed "Degrassi: Next Class," the venerable series will premiere 20 new episodes globally on Netflix as well as on Canada's Family Channel in early 2016, Netflix announced Tuesday.

This comes a week after TeenNick announced "Degrassi" would end its 14-season run on that network in

July.

"Degrassi: Next Class" is the latest offshoot of a Canadian TV franchise reaching back to 1979.

The new stories will be targeted for the post-millennial teen crowd known as Generation Z. Linda Schuyler, "Degrassi" co-creator and executive producer, notes that most of the new target audience wasn't even born when the current version of "Degrassi" was created in 2001.
