Panel addresses hunger and homelessness

By Madeleine Hall Staff Writer @DailyAthenaeum

After speaking to the homeless on the streets of Morgantown, Melissa Hernandez of the West Virginia University Food Recovery Network learned that intoxicated West Virginia University students often call the homeless names and throw objects at them for fun.

Pointing out a particular time when a homeless man was delighted to share his favorite song with her, Hernandez described the im-

portance of kindness and respect toward the homeless in Morgantown.

“It’s hard to get people to look (the homeless) in the eye, but they want to be treated as an equal member of their community,” said John Sonneday, executive director of the Coordinating Council on Homelessness. “Every human being deserves basic respect.”

On Tuesday night, the Food Recovery Network tackled issues of homelessness and food insecurity in a panel called “Hunger: the Cost in your Community.”

The panel was composed of professionals from a variety of backgrounds, and the discussion ranged from common misconceptions about the homeless, to the effects of food insecurity on young children and poverty relief in West Virginia.

Sonneday led the panel on how the Morgantown community can improve the lives of the homeless, explaining that students should start by treating the presumably homeless they meet on the street with dignity.

“In D.C., I volunteered

in a hospice for formally homeless men who were dying of aids,” Sonneday said. “It is an enormous boost to these folks to be taken seriously, to be treated with respect.”

Zac Tardiff, of Empty Bowls Monongalia County, shared his thoughts on the impact of food insecurity among students within Monongalia County. He said that food insecurity can lower attentiveness in school and lead to trouble making friends, as students may be embar-

‘BOWLS AND BOOKS’

Main Street Students take part in SGA sponsored event, donate old books and handmade bowls requests $5,000 from city

By Jordan Miller Staff Writer @DailyAthenaeum

Students found a way to combine stress relief and community service Tuesday night as the Student Government Ass o c i at i o n s p o n s o re d “Bowls and Books” in the Mountainlair.

Students were invited to bring old books and paint ceramic bowls to be donated to local non-profit organizations, raising awareness of hunger.

“It’s good because it gives directly back to the Morgantown community, and it’s a fun event to get students involved,” said Paige Kearns, SGA’s director of philanthropy. “…A lot of us are on a budget, so doing something free that’s also fun and stress relieving before Thanksgiving is nice.”

Kearns said the event was organized to coincide with National Philanthropy Month, and National Homelessness and Hunger Awareness week.

The bowls will be given to Empty Bowls, and the books will go to the Mountaineer Boys and Girls Club or Literacy Volunteers of Monongalia and Preston Counties, Kearns said.

The bowls and paints came from The Wow Factory, an art studio where people can create pottery, ceramics and other handson art projects.

Dina Mutillo, co-owner of The Wow Factory, said Empty Bowls will use the bowls to serve food at their annual luncheon held in February.

Anna Smith, a The Wow Factory employee and sophomore elementary education student, noticed at the luncheon, guests buy a ticket and eat donated food to support hunger relief in Monongalia County.

This award is a recognition of the accumulation of activities the departments partake in to make communities safer on the roads, Preston said. Everything from investigating preventions, road education, the efforts taken to decrease fatalities or serious injuries and how problematic traffic situations were addressed are all taken into consideration.

As of now, the Monongalia County Sherriff’s de-

Fo l l o w i n g weeks of strained meetings, hardly any tensions arose during the Morgantown City Council’s regular meeting on Tuesday night. That is, until the council considered a request from Main Street Morgantown.

Main Street, an organization charged with promoting business in the downtown and Wharf areas, wrote a letter to the council asking to allow it to use $5,000 for promoting downtown businesses following the closure of University Avenue for four months.

That $5,000 was originally budgeted to pay the salary of the organization’s executive director.

Main Street Morgantown hasn’t had an executive director for more than a year, according to City Manager Jeff Mikorski.

“I’d really like the organization to look at doing exit interviews with their directors,” said Councilwoman Jenny Selin, Fourth Ward. “Why do directors leave?”

Council ultimately voted 5-2 to approve Main Street’s request, with Councilwoman Nancy Ganz, Seventh Ward, and Mayor Marti Shamberger, Fifth Ward, voting in the minority.

“I’m worried about what kind of precedence this sets,” Shamberger said. “What happens when we close another road and another person or business says they were affected by it?”

Other councilors, although sympathetic to her concerns, reasoned that since the money had already been budgeted toward the organization, the council shouldn’t try to take any of it back.

Also on Tuesday night, the council approved changes to its current fiscal year budget to reflect additional revenue that a city user fee will bring in.

At a previous meeting, council passed a weekly $3 user fee for everyone who works in city limits. This fee should raise about $6.8 million, which will go toward re-

Mon. County police department rewarded for traffic, pedestrian safety by robert lee staff writer @dailyathenaeum

Several police departments in Monongalia County received the highest award offered by the Automobile Association of America based on the ongoing efforts to increase traffic and pedestrian safety within county limits.

Star City Police Department, Westover Police Department, Monongalia County Sheriff Department and Morgantown

Police Department all received the Community Traffic Safety Platinum Award. Though the award requirements may be subject to change each year, the feelings of gratitude and pride still remain the same among the recipients.

“This means a lot to the department. It’s something we strive to receive each year,” said Star City Police Chief Vic Propst. “We really appreciate (AAA), city council and citizens taking the effort to recognize police departments and the

effort that it takes to maintain this status every year.”

Before qualifying for this award, police departments must participate in highway safety programs such as stop light enforcements, DUI arrests, speed enforcements and illegal cell phone usage, said Perry Palmer, Monongalia County Sheriff chief deputy.

Police departments can also partake in any new traffic related initiatives to qualify as long as the programs are recognized by the Governor’s Highway

Safety Association, Propst said.

The GHSA and AAA record all traffic-related activity the police departments participate in. Each year, departments fill out a questionnaire and can potentially be recognized for their achievements.

“Each year is a reflection of the previous years, and it’s not just a reflection of the police department, but a reflection on the entire community,” said Ed Preston, Morgantown Police Chief.

French hunt second fugitive, launch new airstrikes on IS

PARIS (AP)—French police hunted Tuesday for a second terrorist believed to have escaped after the bomb and gun massacres in Paris, while a U.S. official revealed that the suspected mastermind was part of an Islamic State cell that American intelligence agencies had been tracking for months.

Meanwhile, France and Russia unleashed a new wave of airstrikes against IS targets in Syria, while fears of further terror attacks deepened in Paris and beyond. The Eiffel Tower closed to the public just a day after it had reopened and a soccer match between Germany and the Netherlands was canceled due to a bomb threat just 90 minutes before kickoff.

Islamic State militants have claimed responsibility for the Friday the 13th attacks that targeted France’s national soccer stadium, a packed concert hall and popular restaurants and cafes in one of Paris’ trendiest neighborhoods, killing 129 people and wounding more than 350.

French authorities had previously said that at least eight people were directly involved in the bloodshed Friday: seven who died in the attacks and one who got away and slipped across the border to Belgium. However, there have been gaps in officials’ public statements, which have never fully disclosed how many attackers took part in the deadly rampage.

On Tuesday, officials disclosed to The Associated Press that they now believe at least one more attacker was involved than was previously known, and they were working to identify and track down that suspect. Three officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to provide details about the ongoing investigation.

A new surveillance video obtained by the AP indicated that a team of three attackers carried out the shootings at one of the cafes. The video was among evidence authorities used in concluding that at least

one other attacker was at large, the French officials indicated.

The brief clip shot from a distance shows two blackclad gunmen with automatic weapons calmly firing on the bar then returning toward a waiting car, whose driver was maneuvering behind them.

Authorities believe that car is the same black Spanishmade SEAT vehicle that was found abandoned Saturday with three Kalashnikovs inside. In the footage, as the gunmen fire their rifles, patrons can be seen falling down on the pavement as others dashed or crawled away. The encounter lasted only seconds.

Previously officials had not specified how many people were involved in the attack on the sidewalk bar on La Fontaine au Roi street, as well as the other night spots.

In all, six attackers died after detonating suicide belts and one was killed by police gunfire. A manhunt has been mounted for an eighth suspect, Salah Abdeslam, whom French police accidentally permitted to cross into Belgium on Saturday. One of his brothers, Brahim, was among the attackers who blew themselves up in Paris. Another brother, Mohamed Abdeslam, was arrested after the attacks but released. In an interview Tuesday with French TV station BFM, he urged his brother to turn himself in.

Two men arrested in Belgium, meanwhile, admitted driving to France to pick up Salah Abdeslam early Saturday, but denied any involvement in the attacks, their lawyers said.

Mohammed Amri, 27, and Hamza Attou, 21, are being held on charges of terrorist murder and conspiracy. Belgian media reported the two were being investigated as potential suppliers of the suicide bombs used in the attacks, since ammonium nitrate, a fertilizer that can be used to make explosives, was discovered in a search of their residence.

More details emerged about the brothers’ ac-

tivities leading to the attack. Salah and Brahim Abdeslam booked a hotel in the southeastern Paris suburb of Alfortville and rented a house in the northeastern suburb of Bobigny several days before, a French judicial official told AP, speaking on condition of anonymity because she was not authorized to speak about the ongoing investigation.

Austria’s Interior Ministry also disclosed that Salah Abdeslam had entered Austria about two months ago with two unidentified companions.

Officials have identified 27-year-old Abdelhamid Abaaoud, a Belgian of Moroccan descent, as the mastermind of the attacks. He is believed to be in Islamic State-held territory in Syria.

A U.S. official briefed on intelligence matters said Abaaoud was a key figure in an Islamic State external operations cell that U.S. intelligence agencies have been tracking for many months.

Analysts have been debating to what extent the Islamic State group was devoting resources to external terrorist attacks, versus seeking to hold onto the territory it has seized in Iraq and Syria. A consensus is now emerging that the group is more focused on exporting terror than had been widely understood.

U.S. intelligence agencies have some insights into who is involved in that effort, said the official, who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. But their understanding is hampered by the many challenges of gathering intelligence in Syria, where the CIA does not have a regular presence on the ground The chairman of the Senate intelligence committee said Tuesday that it was likely that militants plotting the attacks in Syria, Belgium and France used encryption to hide their communications from authorities.

Sen. Richard Burr, R-North Carolina, said there was no direct evidence of encryption, but that authorities had concluded it was used

Police officers patrol at the Eiffel Tower in Paris, Tuesday, Nov. 17, 2015. The Eiffel Tower has closed again, one day after it reopened following the Paris attacks. The landmark reopened to visitors Monday after being shut for two days after the Paris gun and bomb attacks that killed more than 120 people. because they have uncovered no evidence of conversations among the plotters.

The statement acknowledges the challenges intelligence agencies face in monitoring records of international phone traffic.

Speaking to reporters after a classified intelligence briefing, Burr also said there is a “strong likelihood” the Paris attacks were directed, rather than just inspired, by the Islamic State

group in Syria.

The comments were the strongest public attribution yet by American officials.

CIA director John Brennan said Monday the attack bore “the hallmarks of terrorism carried out” by the Islamic State group.

Tensions remained high in much of Europe in the wake of the attacks. In Paris, the Eiffel Tower shut down again after opening for just a day Monday, and heav-

ily armed troops patrolled the courtyard of the Louvre Museum. In the German city of Hannover, an exhibition soccer game between Germany and the Netherlands was canceled at the last minute and the stadium evacuated by police because of a bomb threat. Top government officials, including Chancellor Angela Merkel, had been scheduled to attend the game as a sign of defiance.

Obama says GOP incitement on Syria refugees ‘needs to stop’ MANILA, Philippines (AP)—President Barack Obama lashed out Wednesday at Republicans who insist on barring Syrian refugees from entering the U.S., deeming their words offensive and insisting “it needs to stop.”

“Apparently they’re scared of widows and orphans coming into the United States of America,” Obama said.

Mocking GOP leaders for thinking they’re tough, Obama said overblown rhetoric from Republicans could be a potent recruitment tool for the Islamic State group.

He insisted the U.S. process for screening refugees for possible entry into the U.S. is rigorous and said the U.S. doesn’t make good decisions “based on hysteria” or exaggerated risk.

“We are not well served when in response to a terrorist attack we descend into fear and panic,” the president said.

Obama’s comments during a meeting with Philippine President Benigno Aquino marked his harshest condemnation yet of Republicans’ response to the Paris at-

For the first quarter of the year, Mikorski estimates the user fee will raise about $1.2 million for the city.

Of that, 40 percent, or $468,000, will go into the police department’s fund; 16 percent will go into streets and highways’ fund; and the remaining

44 percent will go into the “contributions/transfers to others fund.”

Mikorski said the last fund was so that as future road repair projects are under taken, it will be easier to shift the money around to different road projects instead of having it in a rigid fund.

Also Tuesday night, Mikorski updated councilors on how the city collects delinquent fire service fees.

There are 21 properties that the city is eyeing to put a line on within the next five years for not paying their fire service fees.

Most of the properties—90 percent—pay their fire service fees on time, Mikorski said.

If all of the delinquent fees are collected, $65,068.73 will come into the city’s funds.

In Congress, House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell have urged at least a temporary halt in the resettlement of Syrians.

Obama pointed out that he’s been waiting for a year and a half for Congress to take up a new war powers resolution to address the IS threat, questioning their newfound haste to solve the purported threat of innocents fleeing war.

Defending his administration’s screening program, Obama said it takes 18 to 24 months to clear a refugee for entry, following vetting by the U.S. intelligence community and other agencies as well as biometrics.

Although there are indications that one of the IS attackers carried a Syrian passport and may have arrived in France alongside refugees, Germany’s top security official has said the passport might have been a fake intended to stoke fears.

editorial

The events that occurred in Paris last weekend left many afraid for the future of the placement and treatment of Syrian refugees. At least one of the suspects involved in the Paris attack gained entry into the country by claiming to be a refugee escaping from the ongoing conflict in Syria. As a result, a majority of American states are refusing to accept refugees from the war-torn country for the sake of upholding national security.

Though an individual state has no jurisdiction over which refugees are allowed into the country, a state’s decision to not cooperate will make the process unnecessarily difficult. Thirty-one states, including Texas, Michigan and Maine, have said they oppose America helping Syrian refugees relocate.

To make matters worse, Texas senator Ted Cruz has proclaimed only Christian refugees should be allowed entrance into America, though much of the conflict in Syria involves extremist Sunni Muslims

Syrian refugee families face intense hardship when fleeing their war-torn country. terrorizing Shiite Muslims.

Cruz claims Christian refugees have “no meaningful risk” of committing terrorism, while allowing their Muslim counterparts to stay in this country is “lunacy.”

All Syrian refugees are

suffering from the brutal situation that has taken 250,000 lives since 2011. As Lavinia Limon, the president and chief executive of the U.S. Commission for Refugees and Immigrants, stated for the Washington Post, “The definition of a

refugee is someone fleeing oppression. They’re fleeing terrorism… They’ve experienced what happened in Paris on a daily basis.”

As the popular photo blog Humans of New York has attempted to dem-

onstrate to the American public during the past few months, the situations refugees experience every day for survival is unimaginable. Spending one’s life savings to afford a dangerous boat ride out of the country, being separated from

family members and facing constant risk of violent death by the enemy are things no human should ever experience.

However, because one extremist individual posed as a refugee, entire countries are denying thousands of Syrians access to safe environments something that is considered a basic human right.

Syrian refugees left their country in order to find a place where they will not be persecuted, but refugees journeying to America may unknowingly be entering a country with a similar hatred toward people of different religious backgrounds.

The United States should allow Syrian refugees to seek shelter and restart their lives in a place out of harm’s way. Like President Barack Obama stated, denying safety to refugees based on religious discrimination is “...not American.

That’s not who we are. We don’t have religious tests to our compassion.” daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Youth outreach in the 2016 presidential election emily torbett columnist @emilytorbsda

For the first time in history, Millenials have the power to overtake Baby Boomers as the most influential voting block in the country. Should they turn out to vote, the 93 million Millenials in America (approximately one third of the population) will be key in deciding not only the party primary results, but also the 2016 presidential election.

With numbers like this, it’s easy to understand why the Democratic Party frontrunners, Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton, must take initiatives to secure the youth vote. Should they win out in the primary, the estimated 50 percent of Millenials who identify as steadfast liberals (compared to the estimated 34 percent leaning towards the GOP) have the power to put a liberal candidate in the White House.

Hillary’s campaign has worked tirelessly to court

Hillary Clinton has been trying desperately to woo the nation’s younger voters. the 18-30 age group. One look at her website reveals her obvious need to appeal.

Her official campaign store sells beer koozies reading, “More like Chillary Clinton, amirite?” and “Yaaaas Hillary” t-shirts. Her of-

ficial Twitter account attempts to engage younger followers by asking them to respond to questions about their student loan debt with emojis. Clips of Hillary doing popular dance moves like the whip and

redalertpolitics.com

the “nae nae” on The Ellen DeGeneres Show are currently in circulation on the Internet.

Unless she decides to show up to future campaign events wearing a flannel shirt and slouchy

beanie combo, ditch her bus for a bike or make Bill grow an ironic beard, it seems Hillary has taken full advantage of opportunities for Millennial outreach. Even Lena Dunham would be proud.

On the other hand, we have Bernie Sanders. He has no viral dance videos to boast. His online campaign store is stocked with typical politician fare. Aside from a few “Feel The Bern” items, his apparel is mainly punfree. His Twitter account utilizes punctuation and full sentences more than emojis. Yet, he has managed to surge 30 points ahead of Hillary among youth voters in the latest polls. What is it about Bernie’s youth outreach that is putting him ahead with younger demographics?

Hillary’s campaign has made the same mistake countless organizations have previously made in trying to recapture dwindling youth appeal: Attempting to take the same old ideas we’ve heard before and repackage them as kid-friendly. Much like putting a coffee bar and

a “hip” youth pastor in a church won’t hold enough appeal to bring back young people who disagree with it fundamentally, using Tumblr-friendly slang to sell a tired idea won’t work with Millenials looking for sweeping and progressive ideological change.

Millenials are often criticized as having short attention spans, but this could also translate into finely tuned bullsh*t meters. After a lifetime of constant exposure to advertisements of every kind, today’s youth have developed a healthy level of skepticism .

Politicians promising change and advocacy for the middle class but taking the same old Wall Street campaign funding every other politician has simply won’t cut it. Attempts to appeal to America’s youth are seen for exactly what they are: Propaganda.

Simply put, Bernie Sanders isn’t impressing America’s youth with his progressive repackaging of ideas, but rather with his progressive ideas themselves. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

“Self-love” movement is selfish and ineffectual, impedes altruistic efforts kody goff columnist @retrosyk

An ever-growing, underground cultural shift has been gaining popularity in recent years, especially on the campuses of universities in the western world.

This idea, which has no discernible name or structure, is best described as “selflove:” unconditional acceptance of one’s self. The cultural acceptance of selflove may sound like a grand idea in principle, but its repercussions are far from altruistic.

The basic tenets of the self-love attitude are incredibly simple, though they frequently remain unspoken. As the name implies, having a self-love attitudes means having love for oneself and one’s actions unconditionally.

Perhaps a more dangerous principle is the requisite hostility to those who do not agree with self-love. Anyone who does not support an individual’s self-affirmation is often treated as bigoted or old-fashioned, and keeping them out of the same spaces as those who love themselves without condition appears to be prioritized on the self-love agenda.

At this point, self-love is

DA

probably starting to sound very similar to narcissism.

Indeed, the innumerable supporters of this mindset demonstrate traits indicative of the personality disorder. Because of this, the self-love mindset could be considered a contributor to the stereotype surrounding Millennials that involves seeing oneself as entitled and self-important.

Like many cultural memes, the origin of the self-love idea is difficult to pinpoint. Some may blame the rise in popularity of political correctness in the past few decades. Others may point to the echo-chamber nature of growing Internet communities. Perhaps another factor could even be the coddling of children in their early years, with participation awards and no-lose situations cropping up more frequently in children’s education and inspiring egotistical attitudes. However, I believe the self-love ideology stems from not just these pitfalls, but from human nature itself.

Human beings seek confirmation in nearly everything they do. Validation is an important part of the developmental years of children, and people will both consciously and unconsciously seek for their ideas to be corroborated until the day they die. With this in

mind, it’s easy to see why a culture promoting self-affirmation and unconditional acceptance has taken hold in such a meaningful way.

Self-esteem is what young people need to work on, not radical self-love. Esteem is synonymous with respect and admiration, and while these may not sound too different from the word “love,” their connotations are clearly different.

Respecting and accepting one’s self is vitally important, but it should not become a lifestyle. It may take real strength of character to gain self-esteem, but patting oneself on the back every day is of absolutely no help to others.

Self-love, which seems more like self-obsession upon closer inspection, could be potentially harmful to society. If everyone only looked after their own well-being, society would revert to John Locke’s idea of a state of nature, where the weak would be crushed by the strong and societal divides would grow exponentially. This would leave many with unfair disadvantages they could never hope to recover from.

This entire ideology reeks of Ayn Rand’s emphasis on egoism in her books “The Fountainhead” and “Atlas Shrugged,” which emphasize how one should strive

Maintaining good self-esteem is more important than advocating for unconditional self-love. to be someone who does not sacrifice themselves for others nor require others to sacrifice themselves for them. While Rand may be required reading in many American high schools, her philosophy doesn’t make much sense outside of her own fiction.

As a person who values personal freedoms and is repulsed by concepts like Marxism, it may sound strange to hear me say other people are more important than maintaining one’s own self-worth. However, both

Rand and Marx were wrong.

I believe true societal harmony will come from neither a collectivist hive-mind or staunch individualism. I believe small groups of people working hard to make each other happy is the key, as history has proven this way of living to be effective for centuries.

In the end, this culture of self-love will probably do no more harm than leaving yet another stain on the generation which is already lambasted as the “me generation.” It’s evident the

thenourishedsoul.ca

practitioners of this thinlyveiled pseudo-narcissism will grow up soon enough and realize other people’s feelings matter too.

Ultimately, I think society has forgotten the good helping others can do for one’s own self-esteem. By spreading the good feelings one has about oneself, the happiness can be shared tenfold. It’s okay to like yourself, but don’t forget you’re not the only person on Earth. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

CHEER FOR BEER

West Virginia craft beer pairing dinner showcases local breweries and Iron Horse signature dishes Chelsea Walker A&E writer @dailyathenaeum

Iron Horse Tavern is brewing up fall cuisine and local craft beer tonight, as the restaurant hosts its Fall West Virginia Craft Beer Pairing Dinner.

Through five courses, servers at Iron Horse Tavern will also host five craft brewers based in West Virginia. Although the annual dinner is in its fifth year, Iron Horse Tavern Bar Manager Sarah Berardinelli said this event is special for the restaurant because it is the first time the craft beer pairing dinner has taken place in the fall. While this will be the restaurant’s first time featuring fall-focused foods, the Iron Horse Tavern is no stranger to showcasing West Virginian craft beers.

“Local breweries are becoming very relevant to the overall economy within the state as well as bringing in tourism from others,” Berardinelli said.

“We like to highlight small and local businesses whenever we can.”

For the event’s first meal, a sweet potato hash served with pork-belly crisp and quail egg will be paired with the “Canaan Valley Kolsch” from the Blackwater Brewing Company in Davis, West Virginia. First brewed in Germany, the stout Klsch is a typical pale lager, light

to medium in body, with little hop bitterness.

The second course will feature the Iron Horse butternut squash soup, with squash brulee, toasted pumpkin seeds and buttermilk foam. The fall-inspired soup will be paired with Mountain State Brewing Company’s “Almost Heaven Amber Ale” brewed in Thomas, West Virginia. The ale crafted in central West Virginia is claimed to have a taste that Mountain State Brewing said is pretty close to heaven. The ale is brewed year round and features a lightly hopped Willamette with a caramel-like finish.

A lighter third course featuring a kale salad topped with in-house sherrywalnut vinaigrette will be paired with North End Tavern and Brewery’s “FiveWay IPA.” Since 1997, the North End Tavern Brewery in Parkersburg, West Virginia, has crafted brews that now are sold and served throughout the state.

As a brewed regular for North End Tavern Brewery, the powerful taste behind the stout IPA comes from the five different hops blended within. The citrus infused finish makes the new “FiveWay IPA” a popular at North End Tavern Brewery.

Berardinelli said the fourth dish plays more off of a traditional Thanksgiving dinner, with pan-seared duck breast, caramelized carrots, root vegetable puree and cranberry-cognac

compote paired with “Sluice Dry Stout” from Big Timber Brewing in Elkins, West Virginia. While Big Timber Brewing will make an appearance at the WV Craft Beer Pairing Dinner, the brewery based in southern West Virginia will also take over the Iron Horse Tavern on Dec. 9 for the restaurant’s “Tap Takeover.” Berardinelli said the Iron Horse Tavern hosts “Tap Takeover” events often to showcase West Virginia breweries individually. She also said Big Timber would feature 10 of its specialty craft brews next month for the event.

For the final course of the event, a chai tea flan with orange coulis, candied ginger and cocoa nibs will be served alongside Morgantown local brewery Chestnut Brew Works, LLC’s “Cheat River Tripel.” The small brewery that started in the woods of Monongalia County has now become a functioning brewery, where the demand for Chestnut Brew Works ales have forced the group to set up an additional brewery location in South Park.

The Iron Horse Tavern is continuing to seat individuals for its Fall WV Craft Beer Pairing Dinner. For more information, visit http://ironhorsetvrn.com/. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Reed College of Media class plans culinary tour jillian Clemente A&E writer @dailyathenaeum

Downtown Morgantown needed a culinary awakening to realize that the area isn’t just for college students - it’s for young professionals, too.

“There’s this image of it being just for college kids when, in reality, there are some really good local restaurants down there (downtown),” said Morgan McPherson, a senior strategic communications student at West Virginia University and a part of Morgantown Eats.

Morgantown Eats is the product of the Reed College of Media’s event planning class led by Geah Pressgrove, an assistant professor at the school.

“Their goal is to bring young groups of professionals and reintroduce them to what we consider the culinary crown jewel of Morgantown and to raise money for the Monongalia Arts Center,” Pressgrove said.

The class divided into four teams - administration, design, marketing and operations - to plan this two-part foodie event.

The first part is Culinary Crawl on Saturday, Dec. 5 and is a guided, daytime tasting tour of downtown restaurants. Some of the restaurants serving up samples include Table 9, Chico’s Fat, Tk’s Fruit Produce and Bubble Tea and Iron Horse Tavern. Tour times start at 2:30 and 4:30 p.m., and tickets are $35.

Culinary Crawl was a part of last year’s class, as well, but this year’s section wanted to take it one step further. They decided to extend the event into a Restaurant Week.

During this week, participating restaurants in the downtown area will feature special, discounted menus to give locals a chance to try new places.

Although this is the second time around for the Morgantown Eats event, this year’s class had many organizational challenges to overcome.

“The website was slightly problematic,” said Sydney Haley, a senior strategic communications student at WVU. “We lost ownership of our domain, so getting all that in order was crazy.”

Apparently the website constructor from the previous year’s class purchased the domain under the name of the parent, so Haley had to track down and call the parent to buy it back.

The College of Media now owns it, and

the website has been completely reconstructed from its original state. Although organizing and designing the website proved to be a lot of work, it emphasized the realworld team skills needed to tackle the task at hand.

“Getting with everybody to put all the information on the website was something we had to keep up with, and all the teams worked on it,” Haley said. “The administration team put the PayPal, we talked to design to make sure the colors went together (on the site) and the marketing team put everything together - it was a class effort for sure.”

Haley challenged herself by putting the marketing strategies she’s acquired to good use, such as learning how to embed GoogleMaps onto the event’s website. This map, created by the class’ operations team, shows all of the parking locations in Downtown Morgantown. Since one major complaint is that there’s nowhere to park downtown, the class made sure to advertise all 1,600 of them and make a detailed note of each lot on the website.

“Part of their (the class’) goal is to make Downtown more user-friendly, and this interactive parking map is really one way that they’ve created that opportunity,” Pressgrove said. “This is a chance to bring people Downtown and introduce them to the culinary extravaganza that is Downtown Morgantown.”

As part of the administration team, McPherson learned how to attain sponsors and added to her list of event-planning skills.

“I’ve learned that you have to be patient yet also straightforward at the same time to get things done in a timely manner. It’s been a little stressful, but it’s very rewarding to see everything come to life,” McPherson said. “I think that’s why I signed up for this class - to actually make something happen instead of just learning in the classroom, but being able to apply it.”

Haley, also, wants to apply this to her future.

“I’m really interested in event planning it’s something I want to go further with, so this class was something I really wanted to do, to learn what it takes, what was needed,” Haley said.

The Beaux’ Stratagem combines lovers, adventurers, villians meg weissend A&E writer @dailyathenaeum

A classic tale of two vagabonds on a quest for love and fortune will unfold onstage at West Virginia University, with a quick-witted 18th century restoration of the production.

The WVU School of Theatre and Dance will present “The Beaux’ Stratagem,” in the Gladys G. Davis Theatre at the Creative Arts Center. The show premieres Thursday at 7:30 p.m. with additional performances on Friday, and Dec. 1-5 at 7:30 p.m., and Dec. 6 at 2 p.m.

Originally written by George Farquhar, “The Beaux’ Stratagem,” was first produced at the Theatre Royal in 1707.

The story follows penniless English gentlemen, Aimwell and Archer, on the pursuit of a wealthy woman to marry in order

to fill their empty pockets. Leaving London, Aimwell and Archer travel from town to town, exchanging roles as master and servant in a scheme in search of riches.

Upon arriving in Lichfield, the two realize the majority of the characters seem to be disguising their true self for personal gain. Set on winning the hearts of beautiful and wealthy Dorinda and her equally desirable sister-in-law, Mrs. Kate Sullen, their disguises become increasingly challenging to keep, and the scandal becomes lost within the drama and chaos hidden in Lichfield.

An adaptation by Thornton Wilder and Ken Ludwig of the age-old comedy adds a contemporary twist to the play.

The world premiere of Wilder and Ludwig’s rendition brought laughter and the celebration of a timeless story to life at The Shakespeare Theatre of Washington, D.C. in 2006. Ever since, the play has been

cherished by those who appreciate British satire.

While Guest Director Richard Garner has remained true to the original production, the play’s dialogue subtly replicates the modernization both Wilder and Ludwig intended to present.

“This show is going to be filled with the unexpected,” said Isaac Snyder, a WVU student playing the role of Aimwell in an interview with WVUToday. “Each character will connect to the audience in a way that will have people on the edge of their seats or rolling on the floor with laughter. Richard Garner has really brought life to this play and small group of actors. It’s going to be thrilling, fun and fast from beginning to end.”

WVU students will play the roles of lovers, adventurers and villains.

The cast features MFA Acting students

Lonnie Simmons, Imana Rachelle, Joe Gay, Andra Ward, Madeline Hintz and Joseph Bussey. Also featured are BFA Acting students Isaac Snyder, Maggie Dransfield, Stefanie LeMasters, Josh Clevenger, Woody Pond, Allison Chester, Ben Brooks, Afsheen Misaghi and Dylan Lack.

With damsels in distress and dashing sword-fight rescues, the performance will transport audience members back in time.

WVU students and the surrounding community are encouraged to see the production.

Tickets are $20 to the general public, $15 for students, senior citizens and children under 14, and $10 for groups of 10 or more.

‘The Nutcracker’ to play at The Metropolitan Theatre brittany osteen A&E writer @dailyathenaeum

The holidays are upon us, and people are looking forward to their favorite traditions. Whether it is already one of your favorite winter traditions making a new one, make sure to mark “The Nutcracker” ballet, on your schedule.

The Metropolitan Theatre is hosting the Morgantown Dance Company for the 30th anniversary of “The Nutcracker” at 2:30 and 7:30 p.m., on Nov. 20 and 2:30 p.m., on Nov. 21.

With colorful costumes and graceful dances, “The Nutcracker” is the perfect ballet to go see around the winter holidays.

“The Nutcracker is a holiday tradition in the world of dance, and it rings in the joyous season with the familiar music of Tchai-

kovsky,” said Desiree Witt, the director of “The Nutcracker.” “It’s hard to go shopping without hearing the delightful music playing in the stores or on the radio.”

“The Nutcracker Ballet” is based on E.T.A. Hoffman’s story “The Nutcracker and the King of Mice.” While there are many different versions of the story, the basic plot follows Clara, a young girl who dreams of a nutcracker prince and a battle against a mouse king.

The show generally begins at a Christmas party where the children begin to open presents. The girl is given a beautiful nutcracker as a gift. After some jealousy-induced issues over the new nutcracker, Clara falls asleep under the Christmas tree cuddling her nutcracker.

In her dream, the toys

come to life around her. As the nutcracker awakens, he leads the other toys into a battle with the mice. Sadly, the nutcracker cannot keep up with the mouse king and is captured by the army.

The young girl takes on the mouse king, and his army ends up carrying their rodent leader away.

The nutcracker turns into a prince and takes Clara to the Land of Snow for an adventure. They travel through the Land of Snow and into the Land of Sweets. In the Land of Sweets, the Sugar Plum Fairy greets them. When she hears about their courageous battle against the mice army, she rewards them with a celebration of dances.

After many dances, which include celebrating Chinese, Spanish, Arabian and Russian culture, as well as other celebration

dances such as the Waltz of Flowers, the young girl wakes up and finds herself cuddled with her treasured nutcracker.

In 1891, Marius Petipa, the renowned choreographer, hired Tchaikovsky to write the music for “The Nutcracker” ballet. The first showing of “The Nutcracker” ballet took place in the Mariinsky Theatre of Russia. The first full-length American version of “The Nutcracker” was performed by the San Francisco Ballet, which was planned by W. Christensen. Since then, “The Nutcracker” has become an annual holiday tradition.

With both the Morgantown Dance and Morgantown Ballet Company working together on the show, it will have dancers of many ages. Each fall, the organizations rotate between “The Nutcracker”

ballet and “The Snow Queen” ballet.

Currently, Morgantown Dance serves as the mother non-profit organization for Morgantown Dance Studio, the Morgantown Ballet Company and the Morgantown Youth Ballet Company. The organization is enthusiastically promoting education in dance and is devoted to providing performance opportunities for aspiring dancers.

Tickets for the show are $20 for adults, $15 for students and seniors, $10 for children and $5 for children under the age of 5.

‘It’s very weird’: Khloe Kardashian balances book with family drama BURBANK, Calif. (AP) — The awkwardness of Khloe Kardashian promoting a book while she’s helping estranged husband Lamar Odom recover from a suspected overdose is not lost on the reality star.

“It is very weird to be selling something or telling everybody ‘go buy my book’ when there’s very serious things happening in my life,” Kardashian said in an interview with The Associated Press last week. “Real life happens and nothing is going to stop. Your work can’t just stop. So we have to learn to juggle it all and still make time for yourself.”

The book, “Strong Looks Better Naked,” is a selfhelp manual that chronicles her weight loss and her rebound after her marriage to Odom collapsed and left her reeling.

“Everything in the book I am living day by day right now,” she said.

Even though they went through divorce proceedings, they are still techni-

cally married, and Kardashian rushed to his side after the former NBA star was found unconscious at a Nevada brothel in October. Odom is believed to have overdosed on cocaine and other drugs.

While Kardashian is still very involved in his recovery. She said he’s still healing, a process she describes as “day by day.”

“Every day like I say ‘I’m doing press for the book.’ And he’ll just look like, ‘What? What are you talking about?’ And I’ll remind him again. So it’s constantly reminding him, but that’s what we do every day until he gets better.

And you know the brain is magical,” she said. “It’s gonna heal in time.”

Kardashian, who also launches a talk show called “Kocktails with Khloe” Jan. 20 on the FYI network, has kept her sense of humor through all the drama. She jokes about being a “polygamist” since she has maintained her relationship with her

boyfriend, NBA’s James Harden, while caring for Odom.

“It’s a very interesting dynamic that I have going on. It is also just crazy at the same time that I have to explain everything that I do and the choices I’m making when I know the choices I’m making, my boyfriend knows the choices, my family knows the choices,” she said.

“You just have to like kind of laugh at everything because if you don’t laugh you’re gonna cry. So the answer is start laughing.”

She said communication is the key to her relationship with Harden.

“If you make someone feel comfortable I think any situation you can work through. But I still respect how he feels and what his boundaries are,” she said.

“I’m sure it’s confusing, but we know we’re not confused.”

Kardashian dedicated the book, which is a New York Times best-seller, to her famous siblings, her

Hollywood’s bad-boy is HIV positive NEW YORK (AP) — Charlie Sheen said his bad-boy days are over and, with Tuesday’s declaration that he’s HIVpositive, he aims to become an inspiration to others.

“My partying days are behind me,” Sheen said in a letter posted online. “My philanthropic days are ahead of me.”

The manifesto was released as the former “Two and a Half Men” star appeared on NBC’s “Today” to say he tested positive for the virus that causes AIDS about four years ago, but that, thanks to a rigorous drug regimen, he’s healthy.

When asked by “Today” co-host Matt Lauer if he had transmitted the disease to others, Sheen declared, “Impossible. Impossible,” and insisted he had informed every sexual partner of his condition beforehand. He told Lauer he has had unprotected sex with two partners, both of whom knew ahead of time, adding, with no clarification, “They were under the care of my doctor.”

That claim was disputed

by Bree Olson, who was living with Sheen in 2011 as one of his two “goddesses.”

“He never said anything to me,” Olson said on Howard Stern’s SiriusXM radio show Tuesday.

She said she learned of Sheen’s condition only in the past few days, prompting her to be tested. She told Stern the results were negative.

Asked by Lauer if he expected “a barrage of lawsuits” from past sexual partners alleging he infected them, he said wanly, “I’m sure that’s next.”

But in California, where Sheen resides, a person can be charged with a felony only if they are aware they are HIV-positive and engage in unprotected sex with another person with the specific intent of exposing them to the disease.

With his public pronouncements, Sheen said he hoped to reduce the stigma and shame still felt by others diagnosed with HIV, as well as by those reluctant to be tested. He

Charlie Sheen has just announced he is afflicted with HIV. voiced hope that “others may come forward and say, ‘Thanks, Charlie, for kicking the door open.’”

While some may have dismissed what Sheen said as the latest rantings of a reckless grandstander, others were calling him a champion.

“Today, he’s a hero of mine,” said Peter Staley, a long-time AIDS activist who is HIV-positive. Watching Sheen’s interview, “I saw someone who has made a major leap forward and is on a new path that will hopefully end up helping a lot of people.”

And Gay Men’s Health Crisis CEO Kelsey Louie said, “Charlie Sheen deserves privacy and respect for sharing his status - no matter what his personal circumstances were.”

Sheen said one reason for going public with his condition was to put a stop to shakedowns from prostitutes and others. He said one prostitute took a photo of the HIV-related drugs in his medicine cabinet and threatened to sell that photo to the tabloids.

He said he had paid “enough to bring it into the millions” - perhaps as much as $10 million - to buy their silence.

“Are you still paying these people?” Lauer asked him.

“Not after today I’m not,” said Sheen, who during his appearance appeared jumpy and spoke in stuttering bursts.

He did not address when, and by whom, he may have been infected.

For part of the interview,

foxnews.com

Sheen was joined by his physician, Dr. Robert Huizenga, who said the HIV level in Sheen’s blood is “undetectable” and that he does not have AIDS. “He is absolutely healthy,” said Huizenga.

Sheen said in the past that he was “so depressed by the condition I was in that I was doing a lot of drugs, I was drinking way too much.” He said he currently is not abusing drugs, though he allowed that he is “still drinking a little bit.”

The disclosure was the latest chapter in Sheen’s headline-seizing history. In recent years, drug and alcohol abuse led to his being kicked off CBS’ hit sitcom “Two and a Half Men” in 2011, where he played a womanizing bachelor, after a meltdown that included calling the show’s producer “a contaminated little maggot.”

His escapades also included the revelation that he spent more than $50,000 as a client of “Hollywood Madam” Heidi Fleiss’ prostitution ring.

Sheen has been married three times, the first time to model Donna Peele in the 1990s.

He and actress Denise Richards were married from 2002 to 2006 and have two daughters. Sheen and real estate investor Brooke Mueller wed in 2008 and divorced in 2011; they have two sons.

“Brooke can confirm that she and the boys are not HIV positive,” Steve Honig, a spokesperson for Mueller, said in an email.

THE MAGIC NUMBER

Heisman leaders switch up near end of season At the start of the college football season, several names came to mind when considering who would be the frontrunners for the Heisman trophy.

TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin, Georgia running back Nick Chubb and Ohio State running back Ezekiel Elliott led the pack in the preseason rankings.

As of this week, only Elliott remains as a legitimate contender for college football’s most prestigious award.

Chubb was out early after a season-ending knee injury against Tennessee. He was on pace for quite an impressive season, too, which makes his absence all the more upsetting. Through the first five games he hadn’t rushed for less than 120 yards while adding seven total touchdowns.

Boykin, too, was on pace to be a serious contender before exiting the Kansas game early last weekend with an ankle injury. Despite his exit, he’s still ranked fifth in the FBS with 3427 passing yards, eighth with 29 touchdowns, sixth with a 166.6 rating all while adding nearly 600 yards and eight touchdowns with his feet. His chances aren’t completely gone, as he is probable for this weekend’s matchup against Oklahoma.

So who is trending upward toward being invited as a finalist to New York?

Elliott is holding steady in the top three at the moment.

He’s rushed for nearly 1,500 yards this season and has found the endzone 16 times, both ranking in the top 10 in the nation.

He sits behind another running back, Derrick Henry of Alabama, who many have as the favorite to walk away with the award.

He’s been on an absolute tear lately, rushing for over 200 yards and at least two scores in three of his last four games.

His 19 rushing touchdowns ranks best in the country, and his 1,458 yards sit only behind LSU’s Leonard Fournette.

A surprise candidate is Oklahoma’s Baker Mayfield. The Sooner quarterback wasn’t even on many experts’ lists as a long shot to win it because he was overshadowed by his impressive tailback Samaje Perine.

He’s passed for more than 3,000 yards this season and found the endzone 31 times through the air, tied for fourth best, as Oklahoma is looking to sneak back into the college football playoff discussion. He played a large part in the Sooners’ marque win against Baylor last weekend, passing for 270 yards, rushing for 76 and scoring four total touchdowns.

The final candidate is Clemson’s Deshaun Watson. Clemson has been streaking lately and was determined as the most suitable candidate to dethrone Ohio State from the No. 1 ranking. A large part of that is because of Watson.

His nearly 2,600 passing yards, 600 rushing yards and 28 total touchdowns show the versatile QB is the Tigers’ biggest threat in a quest to finish the season unbeaten.

So who wins? My pick is Henry. Not only did he put up over 200 yards and at least two touchdowns in three of his last four games, but he did it against ranked opponents.

With a game this weekend against Charleston Southern, Henry could record video game-like numbers and only extend his lead on the pack.

The Crimson Tide are also likely to earn a bid in the playoff, which will put Henry’s skills to the test and show if he really deserves the honor of nation’s best. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Running back Wendell Smallwood breaks through a tackle in Saturday’s win over Texas.

West Virginia shifts focus on winning last three matchups by nicole curtin sports editor @dailyathenaeum

Reaching week 10 of the West Virginia University football schedule, the Mountaineers are one win away from getting into a bowl game. It shouldn’t be assumed that head coach Dana Holgorsen is fine with only taking six wins this season, but this weekend might be an easy one for the taking.

The last time WVU traveled to take on the Kansas Jayhawks was in fall of 2013, and Kansas won 31-19 - the only time West Virginia has lost in the series. While that win put the Jayhawks out of a 27-game conferencelosing streak, and they are playing in similar fashion this year, looking back on the last trip to Lawrence is something Holgorsen

doesn’t want his team to forget.

“We weren’t successful in Lawrence, Kansas two years ago, so that’s something we will talk about a little bit,” he said. “It’s my job to make sure that they understand the situation that they’re in.

For those who didn’t make that trip, I’m going to explain to them what it’s going to be like.”

Kansas is now on a 10game losing streak, including getting blown out by Baylor, Oklahoma State, Oklahoma and a pretty big loss to Texas two weeks ago.

But that doesn’t mean West Virginia should take this trip lightly. Holgorsen explained the Jayhawk defense has improved every single week and will continue to do so.

In Saturday’s win over Texas, it appeared the WVU offense had figured out a little key to success in running

the ball, with running back Wendell Smallwood leading the way with 165 yards on 24 carries but no touchdown.

The same thing happened two weekends ago against Texas Tech: Smallwood ran the ball 22 times for 163 yards but only scored one touchdown.

While it may appear he just doesn’t know how to score or can’t really do it, he definitely knows where the end zone is and has scored six touchdowns this season. With an emphasis on a ground and pound offense, Smallwood capitalizing on his ability to break through and run should be taken advantage of to score, as well.

“I thought it was me not showing him where the end zone was, but we went out and I showed him about 10 days ago,” Holgorsen said.

“At practice I explained where that line was where

the turf changes color, so you can’t blame it on me. By no means am I selling Wendell short; he is our guy, he’s as good as a running back as I’ve ever been around, he’s got confidence, he’s getting through there as quick as anyone I’ve ever seen.”

Earlier this season Smallwood and Rushel Shell were kind of giving each other series based on who wanted to go in at that point, and for the first three games it made sense considering the opponents. When conference play started and things began to head south, that operation seems to have ended. Smallwood is getting the ball more often than Shell, and maybe rightfully so, but scoring is a necessity, especially with his capabilities.

While it would obviously be more favorable to win this season out, it is appar-

ent that Holgorsen is ready to take on this weekend and keep one thing in mind.

“We’ve got to go get a road win, we haven’t won on the road yet,” he said.

“Five plus one is six, for those of you that don’t know that. It’s important to get to six; that happens to be the magic number in talking about bowl eligibility. It’s everybody’s goal to get bowl eligibility.”

Things were looking rocky for the Mountaineers, and talk around town was very negative in terms of coaching for the last several weeks. Getting through October was a challenge for WVU, as most assumed it would be. Now after starting November off well, there is a wide open door for winning the season out as well as getting to a bowl game. ncurtin@mail.wvu.edu

women’s basketball

Teana Muldrow puts up a jump shot in last week’s game against Delaware State.

Carey ready for team to step up defensively by alec gearty sports writer @dailyathenaeum

It seems as if everything is going right for the West Virginia University women’s basketball team. The Mountaineers are 2-0, with both wins being done in a dominant offensive fashion. However, the defensive lapses will ultimately doom WVU when Big 12 Conference play comes around.

“Rude awakening this weekend,” said head coach Mike Carey. “Though, we go play Gonzaga and USC, and it’s the best thing that could happen to this team right now. You talk about getting a teaching point, I will after this weekend, I’ll get their attention after this weekend.”

Last Monday’s matchup against Coppin State was the wake-up call the Mountaineers needed. They saw

what happens when there is a lack of communication: The other team can easily capitalize on the mistakes.

“These are the games that you need to work on the little things,” said senior Lanay Montgomery. “We are ultimately trying to prepare for the Big 12, and some of the teams don’t finish around the bucket like tonight, but there are good players that can finish around the bucket and we can ultimately lose the game.”

Carey is ready to take drastic measures if the young-upstart team won’t adjust to his system. The system Carey has in place is the same one he’s used in his 15 years at WVU; defense and communication are the main focal points.

“Like I’ve told them, I’ll quit playing them,” Carey said. “If you’re not going to play defense, you’re not go-

ing to play. You’re not going to rebound you’re not going to play. I’ll cut (the roster) down. I’ve done it before, and I’ll do it again.

One of the aspects that nearly doomed the Mountaineers was the inability to keep their foot on the gas.

In the third quarter against Coppin State, the Lady Hornets outscored WVU by five points. This was after the Mountaineers set a new program record for most points in a half.

“It’s such a young team… and we just lost focus,” Carey said. “What was frustrating to me was that our veterans lost focus. If they’re going to lose focus, what do you think the freshmen will do? This whole year will be a learning experience.”

The Mountaineers forced 11 turnovers against Coppin State and 18 against Delaware State. However, Carey wants them to com-

mit to the defensive style and not purely focus on offense, especially from the newcomers.

“All they want to do is shoot the ball; then let them shoot as quick as they can so they can go shoot again.

That’s not my style, that’s not how we play,” Carey said.

While that is not Carey’s style, there is no ignoring the impact the Mountaineers’ bench has had. In the two games so far, at least one player off the bench has finished in double-digit scoring.

Alexis Brewer ended up with 14 points in her collegiate debut, while Teana Muldrow posted 17 points, which set a career-high shooting percentage of 85.7.

The importance of the offensive production by the bench will be just as crucial as the defensive aspect.

“I think (Teana) can

come in and score for us, Tynice (Martin) can score for us and Brewer can score for us. We have more scoring off the bench this year than we had in awhile,” Carey said. “Now if I could just get those three to play defense, with the scoring.”

The upcoming trip to Spokane, Washington will be the first time the Mountaineers play USC or Gonzaga. Both schools are in the middle of the pack in offense for their respective conferences.

WVU will use the time beforehand to correct the errors as the season gets going.

“We just have to take time and work on it in practice,” Montgomery said. “We are still trying to find our identity. It can be hard with a new team, and I think that’s where we struggled at.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

WRESTLING

ASKAR SALIKHOV/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

West Virginia’s Dylan Cottrell faces off with his opponent at the Mountaineer Quad earlier this season.

Cottrell, Smith take opportunity head-on at WVU by joel norman sports writer @dailyathenaeum

For two transfers, coming to West Virginia University has been the right choice.

Juniors Dylan Cottrell and Jake S. Smith both transferred from Appalachian State University last semester and joined the wrestling team for the first time this fall.

Cottrell has reaped the benefits, going 6-0 to open the 2015-16 season. He’s picked up two major decisions and forced two falls in those six wins.

“It’s a great start,” Cottrell said. “I really want to get to later in the sea-

son when I’m wrestling the best kids in the country and gauge myself then.”

Smith started the season rough, losing all three of his matches in the Mountaineer Quad. After talking with head coach Sammie Henson, he bounced back by winning two of his three matches this weekend at the Northeast Duals to pick up his first wins of the season.

Both Cottrell and Smith have their own stories for coming to Morgantown.

For Smith, the uncertainty of his future wrestling at Appalachian State was enough to transfer to West Virginia.

“Things weren’t looking too good at Appalachian

State,” Smith said. “What they were offering wasn’t what I wanted my goals to be.”

After reviewing his options with his parents, Smith settled on West Virginia. It’s a decision he is already satisfied with, less than a year later.

“It really just ended up fitting perfectly into place at West Virginia. It’s miles and miles better than where I was previously.”

When Cottrell was looking to transfer, his options were limited.

His coach would only grant him a full release if he joined a four-year university. Being from West Virginia, Cottrell was drawn to Morgantown.

Like Smith, things have gone well.

“Being from West Virginia, I knew I could get in here for sure. Everything in my life is lined up now,” Cottrell said. “I’m in a way better place personally and in wrestling, being home and close to my family.”

One of the main reasons Cottrell and Smith chose West Virginia University was because of the coaching staff. Both lauded Henson for the work he has done. Cottrell called it a “great fit,” and Smith appreciated the support of the coaches.

“The biggest difference for sure is the coaching staff and the team. The

coaching staff here, compared to Appalachian State, is so much better,” Smith said. “The attitude in the room, the hands-on with the coaches, I feel like I have a relationship with my coaches. It’s someone to push me, to help me and look out for me.”

Henson is in the Wrestling Hall of Fame and led West Virginia to a 20th place finish at the 2015 NCAA Championships in his first season as head coach. He credits his entire staff.

“We have experience.

We have a group of guys who understand the system. They’ve all been coached under me or been part of my life some way,”

Henson said. “So it’s easier for me to be over with someone else, and I know that they’re doing the same things we’re looking for. I think that’s a huge advantage for us. It takes years to sometimes develop that, and we already have it.”

So far, so good for Smith and Cottrell.

They have both found a home at West Virginia and look forward to continuing their careers with the Mountaineers.

“I’ve bonded really well with the guys and become a family,” Cottrell said. “It’s something that I’m really looking forward to continuing the rest of the year.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

HOCKEY

Sturges takes the reins as new WVU head coach

BY NEEL MADHAVAN SPORTS WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

The West Virginia University hockey team has struggled with injuries so far this season and has stumbled to a 9-13 record thus far this year. Last week, the Mountaineers and former head coach Kyle Richards parted ways, and AJ Sturges was named the new head coach.

“Coach Richards will be pursuing other training and educational opportunities that are commensurate with his long-term career goals of being a hockey coach,” said WVU hockey general manager Jefferson Frisbee. “This investment into his own development will pay significant dividends for him, and I am happy to support him as he embarks on these new opportunities.”

Although young, Sturges brings a strong and experienced hockey background

to the job.

The Madison, Wisconsin native was a defenseman for the Michigan State Spartans from 2007-12, and for two years prior to that, he played for the U.S. National Team Development Program in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Sturges was forced to sit out his freshman and sophomore seasons due to injuries sustained after being assaulted by a former Michigan State football player.

As a senior, Sturges was named an Academic All-Big Ten selection and played in 19 games on a deep, talented Spartan squad.

“He has the experience of being a successful player at some of the highest levels of amateur competition,” Frisbee said. “That provides a level of perspective that is critical for the forward progression of our program.”

Frisbee also feels Sturges’ youth will help him connect with the young Mountaineer team.

“We are a very young team, and that will likely continue next season,” Frisbee said. “His relaxed, optimistic coaching style and manner is one that helps to smooth over the emotional ups and downs that are common on teams that are quite young.”

The Mountaineers will look to turn their season around as they take the ice this weekend against Robert Morris at 9:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 20 at the Morgantown Ice Center, and again against rival Pittsburgh at 3:20 p.m. on Nov. 21 at Alpha Ice Complex in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

FanDuel suspending daily fantasy for NY players ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Daily fantasy sports operator FanDuel said Tuesday it’s temporarily suspending entry in paid contests for New York players, while the state attorney general sued to halt what he considers illegal gambling by both FanDuel and DraftKings.

The New York-based company said that move follows its failed attempt to convince a judge late Monday to immediately block the state attorney general’s efforts to shut it down.

Attorney General Eric Schneiderman’s sent FanDuel and Boston-based DraftKings letters last week calling on them to halt what he considers illegal games of chance under

New York law. Both companies say that their popular daily games are based on skill and legal, and they’ve made that argument to an increasing number of states that are weighing whether to regulate the industry.

“We will press on and fight to ensure that your right to play fantasy sports is protected, not just in New York, but across the nation,” FanDuel said Tuesday.

FanDuel was forced to stop taking deposits from New Yorkers late last week, saying its bank and processors were deterred by Schneiderman’s efforts.

The company said Tuesday that contests will run for New Yorkers who entered

before 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, but they can’t enter after that.

FanDuel and DraftKings each say they have hundreds of thousands of customers in New York.

DraftKings said it would continue to allow New Yorkers to play unless a New York court decides otherwise.

On Tuesday, a top New York lawmaker said his staff is now reviewing possible legislation that would impose state rules on daily fantasy sports.

Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, D-Bronx, said he’s also been briefed by Schneiderman.

“If it’s going to be here it should be a regulated sys-

tem,” Heastie said. “We’re in an informational gathering stage.”

Both companies have requested court orders to protect their New York business, while Schneiderman on Tuesday requested an injunction to stop it.

They are scheduled to appear before state Supreme Court Justice Manuel Mendez on Nov. 25.

“The two dominant DFS operators, FanDuel and DraftKings, offer rapid-fire contests in which players can bet on the performance of a ‘lineup’ of real athletes on a given day, weekend, or week,” Schneiderman’s lawyers wrote.

“The contests are streamlined for instant gratifica-

tion, letting bettors risk up to $10,600 per wager and enter contests for a chance to win jackpots upwards of $1 million. The DFS operators themselves profit from every bet, taking a ‘rake’ or a ‘vig’ from all wagering on their sites.”

The attorney general argued that, like any sports wager, these depend on a future event outside the control of any bettor, meaning the actual performance of individual athletes in real games.

“As New York law has long recognized, gambling often mixes elements of chance and skill.The key question is whether the outcome depends in any ‘material degree’ on an el-

ement of chance, ‘notwithstanding that skill of the contestants may also be a factor.’”

D ra f t K i n g s, which claims 375,000 New Yorkers among some 2.5 million players, said Tuesday that it remains committed to ensuring they can keep playing.

“We believe the attorney general’s view of this issue is based on an incomplete understanding of the facts about how our business operates and a fundamental misinterpretation and misapplication of the law,” a spokesman said.

FanDuel said Monday it has been operating transparently for six years in New York.

Manning supports Osweiler but won’t be in his ear ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Peyton Manning isn’t giving Brock Osweiler any unsolicited advice this week as his longtime understudy prepares for his first NFL start.

“I’m not a coach, for one thing,” Manning said. “As I shared with him, he’s probably going to have a lot of coaches this week - some who aren’t coaches - that are going to be offering him tips of advice.”

So, Manning told Osweiler he’d be there for any questions he might have, “but I’m not going to be one of those extra voices in his ear.”

Manning will be too busy trying to get healthy from a variety of injuries - foot, shoulder, ribs - that led to his playing the worst game of his career on the same day he became the league’s all-time passing yards leader Sunday.

That prompted coach Gary Kubiak to make the switch with the Broncos (72) in a two-game slide heading into their game at Chicago (4-5).

Instead of making his 265th regular-season start Sunday, Manning will be in street clothes for the first time in his career, other than

the season he missed following neck fusion surgery.

Osweiler will be making his first start since Dec. 22, 2011, when he threw for nearly 400 yards in Arizona State’s 56-24 loss to Boise State in the MAACO Bowl.

“Peyton has been extremely supportive of me.

He just said, ‘If you need anything throughout the week, I’m here for you. I support you 100 percent and go get a win in Chicago,’” Osweiler said.

Manning will spend all week with head athletic trainer Steve Antonopulos while the Broncos coaches put in a game plan for Osweiler, the fourth-year QB from Arizona State who turns 25 Sunday.

“I told Brock when I first walked in, ‘This is totally a blessing for you to be behind Peyton learning from him.’ I think that it’s a great opportunity for Brock to get in, play this game and show what he can do,” said tight end Vernon Davis, whom the Broncos obtained in a trade from the 49ers earlier this month.

“I’m not worried. I’m not worried at all,” Davis said. “I think that he’ll do a tremendous job leading this team,

“He’s grown from that,” Kubiak said. “He went in there and he played with a lot of confidence the other night.”

In some ways, Osweiler still has the mindset of a backup.

Asked what it was like when Kubiak announced in the team meeting Monday that he’d be starting, Osweiler said: “First of all, it’s very exciting, but at the same time, Peyton is still our guy.

He’s one of the best to ever do it. He’s been extremely supportive of me since Day 1. He’s taught me so many things, so I’m going to continue to support him.”

Nobody’s sure when Manning will return to action, but Osweiler is only looking at this as a spot start.

“I’m the starter for this week at Chicago, but that’s all it is,” Osweiler said.

“We’re focused this week, and then we’ll reevaluate everything next week, but I stand by Peyton and support him 100 percent.”

And Manning stands behind Osweiler.

Quietly.

Bengals bothered by miscues after sloppy MNF loss CINCINNATI (AP) — Ugly.

Sloppy. Self-destructive.

Ineffective. The Bengals seemed to be more bothered by how they lost their first game than by the loss itself.

They had a lot to do with the best start in franchise history finally hitting the wall.

Cincinnati played by far its worst all-around game on Monday night, resulting in a 10-6 loss to the Houston Texans in front of a lessthan-capacity crowd at Paul Brown Stadium that was booing in the fourth quarter.

Yep. It was that ugly.

Defensive tackle Domata Peko said the players talked on the field as the clock ran out about how they’d let one slip away. “We can’t do that,

especially here at home,” Peko said.

It was a strange night in many ways.

For one, an 8-0 team couldn’t fill its stadium for a Monday night game. The Bengals sold 61,381 tickets, leaving roughly 4,000 empty seats at Paul Brown Stadium.

And the fans booed as the mishaps piled up.

- Andy Dalton was repeatedly off-target and finished with a passer rating of 61, his lowest of the season.

- Cincinnati had a seasonlow 256 yards overall.

- Tight end Tyler Eifert dropped two passes.

- The Bengals had nine penalties for 70 yards, repeatedly undercutting drives.

- Punter Kevin Huber had

one kick travel only 22 yards.

- The defense allowed backup Texans quarterback T.J. Yates, who had signed with the club only a couple of weeks earlier, to lead a game-winning touchdown drive in the fourth quarter.

Even with all of that, they had a chance to pull it out. A.J. Green fumbled after making a catch for what would have been a first down at the Texans 23-yard line with 40 seconds to go.

Two weeks earlier, they were in a similar predicament in Pittsburgh and Dalton threw a touchdown pass to Green for a 16-10 win.

“It was almost like Pittsburgh,” said Dalton, who was 22 of 38 for 197 yards with an interception and three sacks. “At the very end

of that game, we put a drive together and we won. I felt that same vibe from everybody. But unfortunately, we didn’t hold onto the ball.”

That’s not all they didn’t do.

The running game was inadequate again, which has been a long-running concern. Dalton picked up 30 yards on five runs, some of them off designed plays.

Running backs Giovani Bernard and Jeremy Hill managed only 51 yards on 15 carries.

Overall, the Bengals ran for 73 yards, their lowest total of the season. Two games earlier, they ran for only 78 in Pittsburgh. It’s becoming a trend.

“It always hurts when you can’t execute and do

what you game-plan to do,” Hill said. “It’s very disappointing.”

The Bengals have a short week to get ready for another big test. They play Sunday night at Arizona (7-2), where Carson Palmer will be waiting to try to knock off his former team. The Cardinals are tied with Minnesota for second-best record in the NFC. “We can’t let there be any carry-over,” Dalton said. “That’s not the team we are, and we know what we’ve done to this point. This game doesn’t define our season. It doesn’t define anything. We’re still 8-1. We’re still leading the division. We know where we are.”

The Bengals are still in great shape to make a fifth straight playoff appearance.

They’re up by 2½ games over second-place Pittsburgh in the AFC North. The Steelers have their bye this week.

They have to come to Paul Brown Stadium for a game on Dec. 13.

New England (9-0) has the best record and potentially the top seed in the AFC. The Bengals have the second-best record and potentially the No. 2 seed, with Denver and ailing quarterback Peyton Manning third at 7-2. The Bengals play a Monday night game in Denver on Dec. 28.

“We know everything is still out in front of us, and we know we need to find a way to go to Arizona and put on a good show and perform like we feel we should,” linebacker A.J. Hawk said.

France, England soccer teams unite in defiance, respect LONDON (AP) — Uniting in a symbol of defiance and respect, players and fans of the French and English soccer teams delivered a moving display of solidarity at Wembley Stadium at a friendly game staged four days after the deadly attacks in Paris.

A touching pre-game ceremony saw England and France supporters sing the French national anthem as one, before the squads came together around the center circle to observe impeccably a minute’s silence

in honor of the 129 people killed.

Social media was awash with praise for the dignified way a sensitive occasion was handled. Wembley’s iconic arch was lit up in the blue, white, and red of the French flag, while the French motto “Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite” was projected on the front of the national stadium.

England won 2-0, but rarely has the result of a soccer match - particularly one this prestigious - felt so irrelevant. The atmosphere

was subdued throughout the game.

“Tonight is more about solidarity than football,” England fan Robert Williams, who was wearing a beret and holding a French flag, said before kickoff.

“It is about remembering the people that have lost their lives in such tragic circumstances.”

Prince William, who helped lay floral tributes beside the field, and British Prime Minister David Cameron were among the 71,223 spectators at Wem-

bley, where there was an increased police presence and enhanced security measures that included compulsory bag searches.

With a police helicopter whirring overhead and armed officers on patrol, England and France soccer fans had mingled outside Wembley in a calm atmosphere on a wet and windy evening in London.

There was no sense of panic among supporters, who appeared intent on sending a defiant message of unity after the bombings in the

French capital.

“We have been welcomed here like it’s our own home,” Sebastien Correia, a train driver from the northern French city of Calais who was attending the game with nine friends, told The Associated Press.

“That’s very important for us, for Europe, and for the world, for all the people who are fighting against dictatorships and terrorism.

We need solidarity on a European and a world level.”

France’s players were caught up in the attacks

that ripped through Paris in several locations on Friday. Suicide bombers attacked the Stade de France, where France was playing Germany in a friendly. The teams spent the night in the stadium as carnage struck elsewhere.

F ra n c e midfielder Lassana Diarra’s cousin was killed and France forward Antoine Griezmann’s sister escaped from the Bataclan concert hall where 89 people died. Diarra and Griezmann were among the 23man squad that came to London, and both came on as second-half substitutes to applause.

Diarra lowered his head during the minute’s silence.

Many France players, who had been told to play the game by the French Football Federation, looked emotional for what was the country’s first major public event since Friday’s atrocities.

Dele Alli and Wayne Rooney, with his recordextending 51st England goal, were the scorers for the home side. Yet, worldwide focus was not on the game or the result between two of the major powers in European soccer, but on what the occasion came to represent.

“Sport comes second tonight,” Correia said.

Fans from both countries shared warm embraces outside the stadium. Hours later - in another poignant and powerful moment in the pre-game ceremony - players from both teams stood side by side with their arms linked in front of photographers.

Mathieu De Bruyne, an engineer from Dunkerque, said he had brief doubts about coming to London for the game.

“Maybe for two minutes, I thought to myself, ‘Should I go, should I not go?’ But I had to go. Nothing has changed,” he said. “You have to live like you live normally, go to the game, drink beer in the bar.

“Don’t show you are afraid.”
