City debates weekly $3 city-user fee

By Jake Jarvis Staff Writer @NewsroomJake

Mo rga ntow n ’s C i t y Council is surging forward with plans to extend to fire marshals and deputy fire marshals the power to arrest anyone breaking the city’s fire code.

As the nation celebrates the 88th annual Fire Pre-

vention Week, present councilors unanimously approved an ordinance at last night’s meeting.

“It’s been a long time coming,” said Councilwoman Jenny Selin, Fourth Ward, “and we’re glad it’s here.”

Council discussed extending arrest powers to fire marshals at several previous meetings, par-

ticularly around the time Morgantown applied for Home Rule status.

In February, the Kappa Alpha fraternity and Pi Kappa Alpha fraternities were temporarily suspended after breaking the city’s fire code with over crowded parties, according to a previous Daily Athenaeum report.

One member from each

fraternity was cited with an overcrowding charge, and one member of Kappa Alpha was cited for obstructing and threatening a fire official, according to a University press release.

Had fire marshals had the ability to make arrests during those and other incidents, councilors previously suggested fire code violations would dwindle.

A VISION FOR THE FUTURE

Although no one spoke in opposition of that ordinance, tension struck the room as the council discussed implementing a weekly $3 city-user fee for all part- and full-time employees who work within city limits.

Officials estimate the fee would bring in nearly $4.7 million to the city.

WVU officially opens Advanced Engineering Research Building on Evansdale Campus

By Hollie Greene Staff Writer @dailyAthenaeum

West Virginia University took a step toward the future of engineering this month when it officially opened a new facility for the Benjamin M. Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources.

The Advanced Engineering Research Building will serve as an interdisciplinary facility for WVU students to gather and solve the technical problems of today’s society, according to a WVU Today press release from earlier this month. The building officially opened Oct. 1.

“This (facility) really builds upon our current research infrastructure,” said Mary Dillon, coordinator of marketing and communications for Statler College. “It basically Askar Salikhov/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM augments the quality of our other research labs.”

The new AERB includes 63,000 square feet of research and laboratory space, as well as 8,000 square feet for a clean room to meet the “high-technology” needs for learning and discovery in the “new millennium,” the press release reads.

Of the building’s space, 29,000 square feet houses classrooms, offices, graduate student spaces and a learning center.

“Students and faculty from across all disciplines will unite under this one roof to solve the problems of our day,” said President E. Gordon Gee in the press release. “… This facility fits perfectly into our land-grant mission, because the research conducted within these walls will benefit a greater good.”

Construction for the facility began in January 2013.

City officials used census data to estimate the number of people working in Morgantown.

“I just don’t believe in a $3 user fee on students,” Mayor Marti Shamberger,

Reed College of Media Professor Alison Bass first came across the world of sex work while teaching at a community college, Mount Holyoke, in South Hadley, Massachusetts.

She was helping a student who was having trouble with a profile assignment when the student blurted out the subject in question - an activist in the community was a female sex worker.

Intrigued, Bass discovered the woman, “Jillian,” was a middle-class community member.

Jillian had not been forced into the sex business, though. Instead, she decided on sex work to have more time to pursue her passion of volunteering at an alternative treatment mental health center.

Her story became the inspiration for Bass’ book, “Getting Screwed: Sex Workers and the Law.” “(Jillian) really opened up a window to me to the world of sex work in the 21st century,” Bass said.

“She introduced me to other sex workers, and I realized that what they were talking about totally clashed with the popular narrative of prostitutes all being drug-addicted women who are forced into the trade by pimps or traffickers.”

In the United States, a majority of sex workers over 18 years of age are choosing to be a part of the business. It is not a result of human trafficking, Bass said.

Bass’ research found t hat c r i m i na l l aw s against prostitution actually make sex work more dangerous for sex workers because it’s harder for them to practice safe sex, avoid HIV and protect themselves against violent predators on the

streets.

“In countries where it’s decriminalized - New Zealand and the Netherlands, most of Europe actually - they have lower HIV rates because it’s easier to negotiate with clients for safe sex, sex with condoms, (and then) sex workers and clients don’t have to worry about getting arrested,” she said.

At 7 p.m. tongiht, Bass will discuss “Getting Screwed” and facilitate a question-and-answer session at 7 p.m. in room 130 of Colson Hall.

She will discuss the history of prostitution, as well as talk about policy issues involved with sex work.

After the Q & A session, Bass will read an excerpt from her book, which explores true stories of modern sex workers in the U.S., assesses the latest prostitution research and argues for the legalization of prostitution.

“There’s a lot of discrimination and marginalization of sex workers…

To me, the mission of journalism is, as Joseph Pulitzer once said, ‘to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comforted,’” Bass said. “I often like to write about things for people who are marginalized…”

Bass came to WVU in 2012. She now teaches multimedia bureau reporting for capstone classes, an investigative journalism class and health and science journalism.

Before coming to WVU, she worked on contract at Mount Holyoke College, an all-girls college that, at the time, was having issues recruiting and retaining students.

Bass left Mount Holyoke to avoid worries over renewing her contract.

West Virginia University is expected to sign a contract with a single food service supplier for student dining facilities on Oct. 16, to replace the several providers currently used.

Top commander recommends keeping more troops in Afghanistan WASHINGTON (AP)—The top U.S. commander in Afghanistan recommended on Tuesday that President Barack Obama revise his plan and keep more than 1,000 U.S. troops in the country beyond 2016, just days after a deadly U.S. airstrike “mistakenly struck” a hospital during fierce fighting in the north.

Gen. John F. Campbell told Congress that conditions on the ground have changed since Obama announced his plan in 2014 to cut the current U.S. force of 9,800 to an embassy-based security contingent of about 1,000 in Kabul post2016. Obama has vowed to a war-weary nation to end the U.S. war in Afghanistan and get American troops out by the time he leaves office in January 2017.

Campbell said, however, that Afghanistan remains engaged in a violent battle against the Taliban, military operations in Pakistan have pushed fighters, including those linked to al-Qaida, into eastern and northern Afghanistan and the emergence of Islamic State fighters has further complicated the conflict.

Campbell, the top commander of U.S. and allied forces in Afghanistan, said that dropping to 1,000 troops would leave the United States with limited ability to train and assist the Afghan forces and even less capacity to conduct counterterrorism operations. He said the different options he has provided to his superiors are for troop levels beyond a normal embassy presence of about 1,000.

Campbell refused to discuss the numbers of troops he is recommending. But when Sen. Angus King, IMaine, asked Campbell if he thought the president should revise his troop withdrawal plan, Campbell replied: “I will stomp my foot. Yes, sir.”

Both Defense Secretary Ash Carter and Secretary of State John Kerry have stressed the importance of continuing counterterrorism missions in Afghani-

In his opening remarks to the Senate Armed Services Committee, Campbell offered details about the airstrike on a medical clinic that Doctors Without Borders ran in Kunduz. He said a U.S. Special Operations unit that was close by was “talking to the aircraft that delivered” the firepower, which killed at least 22 people.

“To be clear, the decision to provide (airstrikes) was a U.S. decision, made within the U.S. chain of command,” Campbell said.

“The hospital was mistakenly struck. We would never intentionally target a protected medical facility.”

In a possible indication that the attacking aircraft was given an improper goahead to open fire on the hospital, Campbell said

he is requiring that every U.S. service member in Afghanistan be retrained on the circumstances in which U.S. air power can be used.

“To prevent any future incidences of this nature, I’ve directed the entire force to undergo in-depth training in order to review all of our operational authorities and rules of engagement,” he said. U.S. forces are authorized to engage in combat in Afghanistan under certain limited circumstances, such as selfdefense, attacking al-Qaida or aiding Afghan forces in extreme situations.

Carter issued a statement promising a full and transparent investigation.

“We will do everything we can to understand this tragic incident, learn from it and hold people account-

able as necessary,” he said.

Anti-war protesters sat in the front row of the hearing with red coloring, depicting blood, on their faces. They carried signs that read: “Health care not warfare” and “Kunduz victims: RIP.” A woman who shouted “Bombing hospitals is a war crime! Stop the bombing now!” was escorted from the room.

The airstrike occurred as Afghan forces were retaking Kunduz from the Taliban. The insurgents staged a surprise attack from multiple sides of the city and held it for three days before Afghan security forces recaptured it with help from the U.S.-led coalition.

Campbell said Afghan forces have faltered at times, but they have shown no evidence of “fracturing.”

White House press sec-

retary Josh Earnest said the future U.S. troop presence in Afghanistan would be determined by a variety of factors, including conditions on the ground in Afghanistan, remaining threats and what resources the U.S. can provide. He said Obama would consider input from his diplomatic and intelligence advisers, along with the views of the civilian leadership at the Pentagon and NATO allies.

Lawmakers also questioned Campbell about reports that Afghan forces who have worked with U.S. military personnel have sexually assaulted boys and that U.S. troops were told to ignore suspicions of abuse.

“I have required that within 30 days all personnel in theater complete additional training on human

rights abuse reporting requirements,” Campbell said. “What our policy has said since 2011 is that you have to report instances of sexual abuse by the Afghan security forces up the chain of command.”

Rep. Mac Thornberry, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, spoke by phone Tuesday with Army Secretary John McHugh urging him to delay the discharge of Sgt. 1st Class Charles Martland for assaulting an Afghan local police officer accused of sexually assaulting a young boy in 2011.

Thornberry, R-Texas, said he noted “potential procedural errors in due process” while reviewing Martland’s case and suggested he be allowed to stay in the Army long enough to prepare an appeal.

South Carolina cleans up, but worries remain amid floods COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP)— The family of Miss South Carolina 1954 found her flood-soaked pageant scrapbook on a dining room floor littered with dead fish on Tuesday, as the first sunny day in nearly two weeks provided a chance to clean up from historic floods.

“I would hate for her to see it like this. She would be crushed,” said Polly Sim, who moved her 80-year-old mother into a nursing home just before the rainstorm turned much of the state into a disaster area.

Owners of inundated homes were keeping close watch on swollen waterways as they pried open swollen doors and tore out soaked carpets. So far, at least 17 people have died in the floods in the Carolinas, some of them drown-

ing after trying to drive through high water.

Sim’s mother, known as Polly Rankin Suber when she competed in the Miss America contest, had lived since 1972 in the unit, where more than 3 feet of muddy water toppled her washing machine and turned the wallboard to mush.

“There’s no way it will be what it was,” said Sim. “My mom was so eccentric, had her own funky style of decorating, there’s no way anyone could duplicate that. Never.”

Tuesday was the first dry day since Sept. 24 in South Carolina’s state capital, where a midnight-to-6 a.m. curfew was in effect.

But officials warned that new evacuations could come as the huge mass of water flows toward the sea, threatening dams and dis-

placing residents along the way.

Of particular concern was the Lowcountry, where the Santee, Edisto and other rivers make their way to the sea. Gov. Nikki Haley warned that several rivers were rising and had yet to reach their peaks.

“God smiled on South Carolina because the sun is out. That is a good sign, but ... we still have to be cautious,” Haley said Tuesday after taking an aerial tour. “What I saw was disturbing.”

“We are going to be extremely careful. We are watching this minute by minute,” she said.

lice,” Haugh said, “and most students don’t bring their car to campus.”

Even after Mikorski tried to clear up some misconceptions, anxieties still lingered among certain councilors about where the money will be spent.

Between 35-45 percent will be spent on street resurfacing and improvement, 7-10 percent on hiring new public works personnel, 7-10 percent on buying new street maintenance equipment, 25-30 percent on hiring new police officers and 6-10 percent to purchase new police equipment.

Councilman Wes Nugent, Third Ward, adamantly demanded a more detailed breakdown.

Nugent would like to see Mikorski and his staff take the price of asphalt and the long-term trajectory of the price into account to know what the money will be able to purchase years down the road.

As for its current spending, it would take the city 33 years to repave all the roads in the city, according to Selin.

Mikorski said if the fee were in place, it would only take 10-15 years—a

significant improvement.

Either way, creating a new stream of revenue through the user fee is the council’s chief concern.

Michael Callen, a member of the Monongalia County Economic Development Authority, said about a quarter of all city employees live outside of city limits.

About 20,500 people work in the city but don’t live here, according to the proposed ordinance.

“That’s a huge untapped revenue source,” Callen said. “Now, those people enjoy the benefits of the economy we’re blessed with, but they don’t have the means to support the infrastructure.”

City officials discussed the city-user fee since November last year. Only Councilman Jay Redmond, Sixth Ward, and Nugent voted against moving the ordinance to a second reading.

Councilman Ron Bane, First Ward, was absent from the meeting.

City Council’s next meeting will be at 7 p.m. on Oct. 20 in City Hall.

Beaver said PCPS intends to pick separate, local vendors for dairy and fruit products.

“Usually the dairy and fruit is better to buy locally,” he said.

The new, desired contract will have no direct effect on student fees or costs, but Beaver suggested a lower cost could create more opportunities for student activities.

“Our goal is to save money. This would allow Student Life to spend money on other things like for Food Fest, or UpAll-Night, those are costs that they provide a lot of,” he said. “If we can acquire the food for less, it will allow them to do more things like that.”

People who work two jobs in the city would only have to pay the fee one time, according to Mikorski.

But still, members of the public worried the weekly $3, although reasonable for many, would adversely affect people with lower incomes.

Kyle Haugh, a resident assistant at Dadisman Hall and law student, said the fee is too much for RAs— who he said are paid $50 every two weeks—to pay.

“I know that students might be the demographic you kind of want to hit with this since they’re probably not paying property taxes,” Haugh said.

Haugh told the council students shouldn’t have to pay the fee since they probably won’t use the services the fee will go toward anyway.

In downtown Columbia, about 200 workers rushed to fix a breach in a canal that is threatening the city’s water supply to its 375,000 customers. The city’s main intake valve is in the canal, and the water level was steadily dropping, Columbia Utilities Director Joey Jaco said.

Crews planned to work into Wednesday morning, sinking a barge and piling bags of rocks and sand on top to try and block the hole in the canal, Jaco said.

If the water gets below the intake valve, there is less than a day’s supply in a reservoir.

“We need to make sure we get this dam constructed very soon to make sure we stay above a minimal level,” Jaco said.

The complexities of racial identity Rachel Dolezal, a biologically Caucasian woman who lived under an assumed African American racial identity until she was publicly “outed” by her parents earlier this year, was praised by singer Rihanna for being “a bit of a hero” for bringing the intricacies of racial identity to the forefront of media discussion.

Many people are still harshly divided over whether Dolezal should be allowed to pursue her assumed racial identity without criticism or if she simply offended a group she cannot belong to by definition.

In her adopted identity, Dolezal advocated for African American rights both as a chairperson for the NAACP and as a professor of African studies at Eastern Washington University. However, she still spent money and time altering her appearance to look like an African American woman, which many have viewed as appropriating black culture for personal gain.

Passing for another race isn’t a new concept. In many instances throughout history, people from minority groups have attempted

Rachel Dolezal is biologically white but has been living as an African American woman. to better assimilate into areas with a white majority by passing as white to receive certain privileges. The opposite is also true: White people have falsely claimed to have indigenous ancestry for centuries, such as the environmentalist Grey Owl

(Archibald Belaney) and Ku Klux Klan leader Asa Earl Carter.

Dolezal claims she is “transracial,” meaning she does not identify with the race or culture she was born into. In the same way a transgender person un-

hinterlandgazette.com

dergoes a transition process to fully assume the identity of another gender through hormone therapy and surgery, some have said Dolezal simply altered her appearance to pass as black by wearing makeup, tanning and sporting weaves in

order to represent the race she felt she belonged to.

However, being transgender involves making the distinction between sex, a biological designation, and gender, a social construct.

Transgender people alter their appearance to reflect the societal construct they feel they belong to and undergo hormone therapy to alter their biology, though in the case of race, biological race and racial identity are currently viewed as being the same.

Advocates of Dolezal believe a distinction should be made between the two.

For example, Asian and African children adopted by white families grow up surrounded by a culture different from what their appearance reflects. Following this logic, these children could be considered white regardless of their skin color.

To assume a new racial identity is to adopt both the struggles and privileges of a particular race, which can be cause for concern. As recent history in America has suggested, racial profiling and the advancement of stereotypes are still serious issues influencing everything from arrest rates to which

demographics remain in poverty over generations.

To assume a new racial identity can be viewed as making a mockery of the race in question and wrongly benefiting from the privileges that come with it while avoiding the true disadvantages. Gender can be viewed as a social performance, but race simply cannot.

It’s impossible to determine the true legitimacy of someone’s personal identity, but when its expression causes offense to biological members of that identity, problems arise. However, not all members of the black community, such as Rihanna, see Dolezal’s transracial claim as problematic and have even commended her for it.

Is Rachel Dolezal offending the black community, or should she continue to advocate for black rights as a transracial woman?

What are the limits of tolerating personal identity?

Peeple: The decline of Internet anonymity kody goff columnist @retrosyk

You may or may not have heard about the upcoming social application called “Peeple.” This app, as the name implies, allows you to “peep” on individual people. It is nothing like Facebook, where you must first know a person’s name and add them as a friend before you can engage with them in meaningful ways.

Peeple is more like the restaurant review site Yelp or the infamous Rate My Professor. For all intents and purposes, this is a site in which you can rate and review people you know, and it’s terrifying.

I must first digress: The Internet truly has changed society. Social networks have made staying in touch easier than ever, and the breadth of information available online has changed education in ways we could have never imagined 50 years ago. What some people may not realize is that the propagation of the Internet has begun to change the nature of its contents.

Before Facebook, YouTube and even MySpace, the Internet was just a humble niche for the few people adept at computers instead of being the communication hub it is today.

The small communities cre-

inquisitr.com

Peeple has the potential to destroy relationships by making the private aspects of relationships public. ated in the early days of the Internet established conversational conventions which still hold up today.

For example, usernames and pseudonyms made communicating easier, and anonymity was guaranteed for all.

Today, however, anonymity is slowly being chipped away. This is not because of some government conspiracy or complicated new law; users are simply more willing to enter their personal information into any of their dozens of accounts and profiles.

There’s nothing inherently

wrong with displaying this information, but doing so demonstrates how much technology itself has become integrated into our everyday lives.

On the subject of Peeple, it’s clear why a rating site for people will be a disaster. If you can’t already see how it will be humiliating and dehumanizing to everyone involved, consider this: People won’t have any say on whether or not they will have an account on the site. If you were one of the lucky few able to maintain Internet anonymity before now, consider it gone.

The creators of Peeple have given users the power to create profiles for individuals who have potentially never even heard of the site so they can be rated and reviewed like everyone else. All a person needs is a name and a cell phone number to create an account for someone they know and start giving out ratings.

Users are encouraged to rate people through a traditional 5-star system, with one star being awful and five stars being excellent.

The site has zero preventative measures to protect

one’s character, as all reviews are permanent and cannot be taken down.

Imagine how this application could be used to ruin people’s lives. Spiteful exes or crazy stalkers will have full power to put practically un-erasable statements about you on the Internet. This could happen on any other blog or forum, but with a site like Peeple, thousands of others will see the slander and potentially form misguided opinions about their coworkers, neighbors and even family members over information that should not have been

publicized.

By no means should you try to scrub your presence from the Internet and go into hiding at this news.

Peeple is looking like it’s been set up to fail, as others have started to notice its utter disregard of any negative implications it may cause in friendships and relationships. The site is set to launch before the end of 2015, so do yourself a favor and stay far away.

With any luck, the app will be shunned just like Google Plus before it. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Humans of New York humanizes Syrian refugees through photos emily torbett columnist @emilytorbsda

If you’re on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or Tumblr, chances are you’ve come across a post from the wildly popular photo blog Humans of New York. Perhaps you’re following the blog yourself or you’ve purchased the bestselling book composed of its famous photos. Created by photographer Brandon Stanton after he lost his Chicago bond trading job in 2010, the concept of the blog is simple: It pairs street portraits of New Yorkers with a caption of something the person said during a brief interview.

The astounding diversity of a blog featuring everyone from wealthy Wall Street executives to schoolteachers has captured the attention of 14.7 million Facebook users.

Portraits of enthusiastic children talking about what they

What began as a simple quest to document everyday encounters with New Yorkers has also done quite a bit of good for the subjects of its photos as well. In one instance, a photograph of a young boy hiding his face from the camera paired with the caption, “I’m homosexual and I’m afraid of what my future is going to be and that people won’t like me,” captured the attention of presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton, who reached out to the boy personally to share her support.

In another instance, a photograph of a boy alongside a caption about the elementary school principal who inspired him to achieve his dreams led to a crowdfunding campaign for his inner-city school district that

ture, devastating loss of loved ones and the struggle of families assimilating into foreign countries are told in the same simple form of photos and captions. During a time in which so many of us are telling our own stories over social media with our own photos and captions,

we are able to personally relate to this particular form of photojournalism.

When we read the stories of real Syrian refugees in a way that is concise, easy to understand and shareable with the click of a button, we are able to empathize and understand in ways lost from traditional magazine and newspaper articles. The Syrian refugees featured in Humans of New York feel less like strangers in faraway countries and more like our friends, families and neighbors.

Humans of New York serves as a model for the power of social media to convey genuine human emotions in the form of art.

In this case, the account serves as a model for the humanization of a group of people who are consistently and constantly dehumanized and scrutinized in mainstream media. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

This year, Tent City took another monumental leap in launching its pop-up community by electing a mayor. In the first days since its return to campus, spirited residents selected Tommy Skinner to serve as Mayor of Tent City for 2015.

Skinner, a second year graduate student at WVU, is a native of West Grove, Pennsylvania. He gained notoriety during his time at WVU for his involvement with last year’s inaugural Tent City event. With the help of fellow Mountaineers, Skinner played a major role in establishing an identity for what has now become the liveliest community on campus.

Skinner’s first order of business as Mayor is addressing his rapidly-growing constituency.

Considering the viral success of Tent City 2014, he and his organizers had to go the extra mile to make this year’s event the best yet.

However, with ESPN College Gameday not appearing this time around, residents must find another reason to celebrate.

“Aside from Gameday, the whole thing is fairly similar—kind of parallel to exactly what we did last year, Skinner said. “We don’t have Gameday, and something we definitely realize, but we’re here for the Mountaineer football team, and that’s something that a lot of people realize. You hear ‘Let’s Go Mountaineers!’ cheers all night, and it really is a cool time. Everybody’s been tailgating, and it’s a pretty positive atmosphere.

With no shortage of Mountaineer spirit on the green, students can be assured of the same tailgatestyle vibe.

“Everybody’s just here to have a good time, and everybody here realizes that,” Skinner said. “Obviously we got a big win, we’re coming in as favorites (against) a ranked team, and I think that says a lot about our guys and we’re going to prove it out there. We believe in them.”

There have been some changes to the event though, hoping to give Tent City a more hands-on role in the Morgantown community.

One major addition to this year’s Tent City celebration is the Empty Bowls charity project.

“This year, we’re trying to help out Empty Bowls, which is a Mon County charity here, and we’re trying to donate at least $2,500 to them so they can help feed the hungry in Mon

County,” Skinner said. “I think it’s one of those things where you’re coming out, you’re here to have a good time and tailgate, we’re here for the Mountaineer football team.”

Skinner wants constituents to remember what united the community in 2014 - proving what makes Mountaineers great.

“They go out and bust their butts every single weekend for us, and we want to show our support for them. At the same time, we’re helping out a lot of people in the county, so it’s something that we’re having a good time but we’re doing good as well so it’s a pretty cool event.”

Although Tent City residents are eager to show their school pride, many are fitting in time to give back during their stay.

“We definitely exceeded early expectations, and I appreciate everyone coming out,” Skinner said. “We’re raising money for a good cause this week, and we’re already able to help a ton of people so I think this is incredible. We’re having a good time here, and we’re hoping a bunch more people come out and support the cause.”

Skinner reiterates that involvement from Tent City residents is vital to success of the rapidly growing community.

“I think the best part about the students being involved is that we get that atmosphere you don’t get when they’re not,” Skinner said. “This whole thing was set up by students, run by the students. And we had a lot of support from the University in making sure this event could happen. They really backed off and let us kind of run the works and make the event so it’s something that we’re really excited about, and everybody here is a student right now, and that’s something you don’t get at other schools. You don’t get these events with kind of a laid-back relaxed atmosphere that’s just for the students. That’s something we’re really excited about.”

As the week continues, Skinner is optimistic about what the future holds for Tent City and its Mountaineer residents.

“This was kind of the sink or swim year, and I think we’re swimming pretty good,” he said. “I think bigger and better is all we can expect. We’ve got a lot of support from the students as well as the University, keeping this a student-run event, and we’re going to keep it that way and make sure that we get bigger and better.” daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Tent City is in full swing, and students are getting creative for this week’s biggest West Virginia University sleepover. The Tent City Times is introducing Tent City Superlatives in celebration of this year’s most spirited residents. Stay tuned throughout the week for more outstanding residents and tent cites.

Tent City Superlatives

FIRST TENT

Tent No. 1, obviously, wins the “First Tent” superlative.

Setting up camp at 8 a.m. on Sunday morning, this is the second year WVU graduate student Tommy Skinner has started the movement.

Located on the side of the Mountainlair Green, Skinner’s tent has a table stationed in front for student checkins and T-shirts that can be purchased. The Tent City trend has definitely caught on, with Skinner confirming there are about three times more tents this year than last year.

Skinner, along with friends including WVU senior Lynn Welch, take turns sleeping in the tent.

“We love this,” Skinner said. “It’s such a good time, and everybody has a lot of fun. Seeing what we did last year again is incredible.”

Both Skinner and Welch encourage students to venture downtown and experience Tent City firsthand.

“Tent City is an experience you’re not going to get anywhere else,” Skinner said. “It’s one of those things you will remember 50 years from now.”

Students hang out throughout the week playing pickup games of football, cornhole and frisbee. Music and food also accompany the games.

The new tradition, which is now recognized as one of the largest student-held events at the University, is being covered by local news stations across the region.

Until there is no space behind the Mountainlair, Tent City is open for those who wish to camp out in anticipation for the homecoming festivities this weekend.

BEST FOOD

Awarded with best food, residents of tent 117 are proud to have placed their tent in a position to welcome visitors by the stairwell.

Blaring country music from a large speaker, a massive group of WVU students are settling in for the week.

“We’ve got cupcakes, we’ve got fried chicken, we’ve got hot dogs, we’ve got Oreos, we’ve got chips and cheese,” said WVU senior Alex Karst, “and we even have salsa.”

Not only does the tent have a collection of late-night snacks, but it is also equipped with an Xbox and TV. With a prime location next to the stairs, the group enjoys welcoming other students to Tent City as they come up the steps.

“We’re right by the stairs, and we always say hello as soon as they walk up,” said Bradley Knotts, a WVU freshman.

Nancy Keys brightens MAC with ‘Summer Collection’ chelsea walker A&e writer @dailyathenaeum

Summer may be over, but Nancy Key’s “Summer Collection” exhibit in the Monongahela Arts Museum brings back all the warm memories of sunny, carefree days.

Key’s “Summer Collection” debuted Friday night during Arts Walk and helped keep the dreary fall weather away, filling the upstairs Davis Gallery with warm colors of reds, pinks and yellows.

While the fall breeze had individuals rushing into the Monongahela Arts Center with a chill, Key’s collection instantly brightened faces and heated spirits.

Key’s goal is to design art that requires something more from both the artist and the viewer. The artist said she started out designing portraits of her dog, Cady, using small frames purchased from Marshalls, which she then used to create stenciled black and white framed photos of her dog. Picking up an interest in painting, Key said she then completed a painting of her dog, which received praise and encouragement from friends. Her interesting paintings depict images of her dog and floral scenes that tell stories through the

use of multiple different textures, colors and media.

With her small lap dog nestled in her lap, Key greeted the faces that passed through the door of the Davis Gallery Friday night. Upon the walls were floral-filled images swirled with brushed traces of reds, pinks, yellows, tans and oranges.

Her larger pieces, such as “Cherry Blossoms,” “Wine and Jazz” and “Poppies,” all incorporated rich colors and detailed plant life.

Through a wooden frame in Key’s “Cherry Blossoms,” one could instantly be transported from standing in the Davis Gallery to standing in Washington, D.C., glancing upon the Washington Monument and the Jefferson Memorial as heavy blooms of cherry blossoms fill one’s vision.

“Wine and Jazz,” was a design Key created to compete for the 2015 Wine and Jazz Festival logo. The yearly West Virginia festival that takes place at Camp Muffly in September brings together local craft wineries, restaurants and jazz ensembles to allow guests to sample and purchase wines and various food items from vendors.

The cleverly designed template first began with a simple concept: A grape vine in the distant background with a guitar lean-

ing beneath.

After the competition, Key decided to take the small idea and transform it into something larger and more detailed. On a large canvas, Key filled the background of her image with a golden bronze color. The textured, tanned backsplash instantly resembled the colors and appearance of a wine cork. With wispy splashes of green, Key used soft strokes to incorporate grass into the bottom portions of the canvas. Bringing to life the large, leaning guitar, Key added small pieces of wood and even strings to the guitar, giving it three-dimensional charm.

The grape vine that first began as Key’s sketch is now full of deep, green painted leaves and three-dimensional grapes made of small purple pebbles.

“Poppies” focuses on the dark black circles that fill the center of the delicate flower, while a rich bronze background was overcome with brushstrokes of yellow, pink and red. Filling the large canvas, Key created a garden of cartoon-like poppies.

Flowers aren’t Key’s only specialty: Canvas pieces such as “Medieval Icon Cady” and “Peace Cady” transform Key’s small, fourpound chihuahua into elegant, candid characters.

“Medieval Icon Cady,” features a lush, pink background, where Cady is seen casually lounging on an elegant, red bed. “Peace Cady,” is one of Key’s more simple and minimalistic pieces, where color is seen only in the flowers. In this design, Cady is sitting among small blue, yellow and red flowers.

With bursts of bright colors and cute concepts, Key’s winsome pieces of florals saturated with lavish colors instantly warm the small space of the Davis Gallery.

To catch the last few glimpses of summer, visit Key’s “Summer Collection” on display in the MAC until Oct. 31. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Atomic Grill finds new home at 123 Pleasant St. jillian clemente A&e writer @dailyathenaeum

Many artists collaborate with others to form one conglomerate, whether it be a song or piece of art.

In Morgantown, food is art, and the owners of 123 Pleasant Street and Atomic Grill decided to double up food with music to create a new downtown bar.

“The dream was always there to go and expand it (Atomic Grill),” said Todd Jacot, the manager of Atomic Grill. “(123 Pleasant Street) was a good fit for us. It’s something small for us to start out with.”

Atomic Grill owner Dan McCawley has been a frequent visitor and musician at 123 Pleasant Street and has been friends with the owner, L.J. Giuliani, for years.

“It’s a great partnership,” Giuliani said. “The owner of Atomic Grill, Dan, he’s been a veteran musician and business person in the area, and it seemed like a perfect fit.”

Atomic Grill’s satellite location is nestled in the upper bar of one of the three buildings that make

As for food selection, Jacot said the menu is an abbreviated version because of a limited kitchen.

“First and foremost, it’s a bar,” he said. “It came down to what kind of food we would want to eat when we’re drinking beer.”

One specialty item is “Stuff in a Cup.” It’s mashed potatoes, barbecued meat and barbeque sauce in a cup, and, according to Giuliani, it’s a hit.

“It’s a nice complement to have,” Giuliani said.

“We’re still in the midst of

Andrew Spellman/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

creating specials to complement the menu.”

Next week will mark one year since the soft opening of the conglomerate. Jacot said the hard opening occurred in February.

“It’s a pretty common mistake that it’s newer

than what it is, but we’ve just kind of in the last few months got our footing in there. Now, with our brand new sign that we got up for about a month (now) - it’s been good growth,” Jacot said.

However, Jacot wants it to be clear that the origi-

nal Atomic Grill location on 595 Greenbag Rd. is still open and that it is solely a satellite location at 123 Pleasant Street.

Atomic Grill brings an urban bar appeal to Morgantown, and now it spreads to downtown, as well.

“Morgantown is very lucky that there are independent restaurants, and they do really well. People respond really well to that,” Jacot said.

Jacot, who is originally from Wisconsin, has moved around to different metropolitan cities around the country and still loves Morgantown’s developing downtown scene.

“It’s urban and has a good culture scene,” Jacot said.

He particularly likes the fact that he can enjoy the city while having the option to drive 20 minutes and be in the country.

The Atomic Grill is located within 123 Pleasant St. in downtown Morgantown. For more information on The Atomic Grill’s new satellite location, visit https ://www.facebook. com/AtomicGrill. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Koplos to enlighten students on contemporary art and craft movements mel smith

A&E writer @dailyathenaeum

The College of Art and Design will be graced by the presence of nationally known writer and art critic Janet Koplos.

She will guest lecture at an evening event for the public.

The Myerberg Lecture will feature Koplos’ thoughts about the contemporary American art and craft movements.

The lecture will be at 5 p.m. Oct. 8 in the Bloch Learning and Performance Hall. The hall is located at 200A in the Creative Arts Center. Janet Koplos will

share her insights with students and the community as a prominent figure in the contemporary art world.

Koplos has immense experience in the world of contemporary art writing and critiquing. She served as the senior editor at the seminal Art in America magazine for 18 years and continues as a contributing editor. The magazine concentrates on the contemporary art world in the United States, featuring profiles of artists and art genres.

Koplos served as a guest editor at American Craft magazine as well, and is an author

and co-author of several books, with her most recent being “Makers: A History of American Studio Craft.”

Her knowledge of art varies from architecture, design and American craft and folk art to contemporary Japanese art, Japanese folk art, and contemporary Dutch art. The associate director of the School of Art and Design, Kristina Olson, believes Koplos will provide a lecture focusing on her latest co-authored book.

“The lecture should be a thoughtful one,” Olsen said. “ It will be an accessible discussion of the state of art criticism

today with a focus on greater coverage of material-based, hand-crafted work that is often excluded from the mainstream arts press.”

West Virginia University is sharing in the celebration for the 50th anniversary of the founding of the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities. Olsen believes the visit by an art critic of such prominence as Janet Koplos will benefit the University and college.

“This visit will remind students and faculty alike of the importance of art criticism as a

humanistic disciple, allowing us to reflect on the role of the arts in contemporary society,” Olsen said.

Samantha Sempey, a sophomore criminology student, was never interested in art until she took an art history course this semester. She is interested in this lecture, looking forward to learning more about contemporary art.

“I am really excited to hear about how Janet Koplos’s experience has led her to where she is today,” Sempey said. “This lecture will really open my eyes to the world of contemporary art and how

art truly influences the world.”

Koplos’ visit to WVU is due to donations from alumni Cynthia and David Myerberg. Cynthia received her M.A. in studio art in 1999 at WVU, and David Myerberg practices law in Morgantown with Jackson and Kelly PLLC. Cynthia is an awardwining fabric artist and a co-author of two books about fabrics and quilting. David was a former associate professor of pediatrics and attended neonatologist at WVU Hospitals. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Thousands form human peace sign to honor John Lennon in NYC NEW YORK (AP)‑ Thousands of people joined Yoko Ono in Central Park on Tuesday to try to set a world record for largest group of human bodies forming a peace sign.

The record attempt to honor Ono's husband, John Lennon, didn't succeed. Still, the crowd celebrated the upcoming birthday of the late Beatle, who would have turned 75 on Friday.

A Guinness World Records representative said the effort drew more than 2,000 people. At least 5,000 were needed for an official record, said Guinness adjudicator Philip Robertson.

That did not quell the spirit of the warm, sunny day that brought together everyone from aging hippies

to schoolchildren not yet born when Lennon died.

He was fatally shot in 1980 at his apartment building on Manhattan's west side just across from Central Park.

More than three decades after her husband's assassination, Lennon's 82-year-old widow summed up Tuesday's event using his famed lyrics, "Imagine all the people living life in peace... ."

She concluded: "This is the best present to John."

In 2009, 5,814 people formed a peace sign in Ithaca, New York. But it was not clear whether participants stood in place in the shape of the symbol for at least five minutes, as required, and therefore no

official record was set, Robertson said.

Ayeisha Bradley and her 9-yearold son, Salahedin Callier, were not there to compete.

The Manhattan mother and her son, both Muslims, kneeled quietly under a tree, praying.

"To me, peace is something that should stop fighting, you need peace like, as in, if somebody is fighting with you and they act like they're not your friend - act like you're their friend," the boy said. "That's making peace. If there's not a solution, then you're part of the problem."

His mother added, "Before we make peace outside ourselves, rawstory.com we have to make peace within More than 2,000 people assemble in NYC to make a human peace sign. ourselves."

WVU’s Jamie Merriam falls to the pitch while attempting a bicycle kick last month against UNC Greensboro.

WVU drops 2-0 road decision to Virginia Tech

BY ALEC GEARTY SPORTS WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

Last time the West Virginia University men’s soccer team faced Virginia Tech, the match ended with 33 fouls being called and two red cards, but WVU walked away with the 3-0 victory.

On Tuesday, that physical play we saw more than a year ago was ever so present. However, it was the Hokies who got the better of the Mountaineers, as they picked up the 2-0 win and WVU fell to 4-6.

In the first half, the Mountaineers and Hokies recorded 10 fouls each, with Zak Leedom and Jonathan Cruickshank receiving yellow cards.

With the amount of fouls being called, there was a lack of solid offensive opportunities for both squads.

The Hokies dictated possession early in the game as the Mountaineers, who hold a 1-3 record on the road, looked lost. The Hokies’ Ricardo John nearly scored in the first minute, but the Mountaineers caught a break.

After 10 minutes into the match, the Mountaineers

got into a rhythm as Jamie Merriam and Tucker Stephenson led the way with two shots on goal each.

“We had some great chances,” said head coach Marlon LeBlanc to WVUSports.com. “Unfortunately, we just didn’t connect when we needed to.”

The physical tenacity from the Mountaineers did not stop, however, as Mike Desiderio and Jack Elliott were both nailed for yellow cards in the first five minutes of the second half.

Som Essome put the Hokies ahead in the 57th minute after a cross from Daniel Laurentano. Essome crashed the net for a header to record his third goal of the year.

Jamie Merriam responded quickly, but Virginia Tech goalkeeper Ben Lundgaard was there for the stop. Lundgaard left the Mountaineers’ offense at a stalemate, as the sophomore recorded six saves through 60 minutes.

Just over 10 minutes later, Reece Alexander doubled the Hokies lead to 2-0. Alexander danced past an aggressive attack by WVU goalkeeper Alec Boerner for his second goal of the season.

“That’s the way soccer goes sometimes. We got caught on the counter and unfortunately weren’t able to come up with the result tonight,” LeBlanc said.

After surrendering his second goal of the game, Boerner was replaced by Daniel Diaz, who had not started since a 3-1 loss to Wright State on Sept. 15.

From that moment, WVU was trying to play catchup and the frustration was showing as things were not going in its favor. Meanwhile, the Hokies tried to kill as much time as they could by not exactly going full speed after the whistle.

WVU outshot the Hokies 13-7 and had the 6-3 edge in shots on goal – it’s become the new norm for the Mountaineers to outshoot their opponents, but fail to walk away with the win.

“Soccer is a cruel game,” LeBlanc said. “They had three shots and scored on two of them.”

Lundgaard earned his first shutout of the year after earning six in his freshman year. After Merriam threatened shortly after Essome’s goal, Lundgaard did not have to record another save.

Desiderio and Merriam

had the best chances for the Mountaineers, as both shots sent Lundgaard sprawling to prevent the attempt.

Merriam led WVU with four shots on goal. Ultimately, it was the lack of discipline that doomed the Mountaineers. A total of three yellow cards and 17 fouls were called on West Virginia.

The yellow cards from Elliott, Desiderio and Leedom forced the Mountaineers to play a more conservative style, as another yellow card from any one of those three would have resulted in WVU having to play a man down.

Virginia Tech took advantage of the situation and never let off the pedal.

The good news for WVU was that Ryan Cain was dressed for the matchup.

Cain had been recovering from an ankle sprain putting him out of action for the past four games. It remains to be seen if the team’s leading goal scorer is in the starting lineup on Friday.

The Mountaineers will look to rebound as they open up conference play against the Western Michigan Broncos on Friday at Dick Dlesk Stadium. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

In the program’s fourth tournament, the West Virginia University men’s golf team turned in their best performance of the season this week to finish in sixth place at the Wolfpack Invitational at Lonnie Poole Golf Course.

The Mountaineers shot a 14-over 582 as a team. After finishing last at Shoal Creek last week, head coach Sean Covich was immeasurably proud of his team’s response to playing through adverse conditions and rebounding this week, putting last week’s performance behind them.

“I’m proud of our guys,” Covich said in an interview with WVUSports.com. “We did well to put ourselves in a position to win the tournament but just couldn’t execute the shots down the stretch.”

Due to inclement weather as a result of the remnants of Hurricane Joaquin, the tournament was shortened from its usual 54 holes to just 36 holes.

Augusta University of Georgia used a remarkable team performance in round two to climb their way up the leaderboard and win the tournament.

Including the Mountaineers and host NC State, the rest of the tournament field consisted of Temple, Lipscomb University, Chattanooga, Campbell University, Wofford, Loyola University Maryland, Hartford, Drexel, Seton Hall, Augusta University of Georgia, George Washington, Western Carolina, South Carolina-Upstate and UNC-Greensboro.

Lonnie Poole Golf Course is an Arnold Palmer-designed course just outside of Raleigh, North Carolina. Having only just opened in 2008, it’s a relatively new golf course. Despite only being a par-71 course, Lonnie Poole plays longer than you’d expect at 7,358 yards. Covich compared the style of the course to what the team saw earlier this season at Turning Stone.

Freshman phenom Max Sear was the star of the tournament, shooting a careerbest 3-under 68 in round one and an even-par 71 in round two. The strong performance

made Sear one of the runners-up for the tournament.

He finished just three shots off of tournament champion Robin Petersson of Augusta University. Sear continues to show signs of his great potential in just the fourth tournament of his collegiate career.

Avery Schneider also turned in his best performance of the season. After being alone in fourth place after round one, Schneider shot a 3-over 74 in round two that allowed him to finish tied for 13th at 2-over 144.

Senior captain Easton Renwick also continued his string of solid performances this season. After opening with a 2-over 73, Renwick closed out the tournament with a 1-over 72 to finish in a tie for 18th.

Despite the great team performance, not all the Mountaineers were satisfied with how they played. Playing in the number one position, West Virginia native Chris Williams finished tied for 69th after shooting a 7-over 78 in round one and a 6-over 77 in round two. Tae Wan Lee shot a 13-over 84 and a 5-over 76 that put him in a tie for 86th. As the team’s individualist, Alan Cooke finished tied for 60th, shooting a 10over 152 for the tournament.

Three Mountaineers finished in the top 20, a seasonbest for the team. WVU also was alone atop the leaderboard after round one, but better performances from other schools allowed them to climb ahead of the Mountaineers in round two. Despite being unable to capitalize on the strong start, the team showed good resilience and will use this performance to help build for the future.

Covich was particularly pleased with how strongly his players closed out their respective rounds on the first day, posting on Twitter, “Great ‘last 6’ by the guys today-especially @AverySchneid13 (-3) and @swellsear (-2)-that kind of fight at the end of a round is what it takes!”

Next up for the Mountaineers is a return home to West Virginia, where they will host the inaugural Mountaineer Intercollegiate at Pete Dye Golf Course in Bridgeport from Oct. 19-20. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

No. 20 Oklahoma State brings a new challenge by nicole curtin sports editor @nicolec_WVU

Following a loss to the then-No. 15 Oklahoma Sooners over the weekend, head coach Dana Holgorsen and his crew have already hit the ground running to prepare for No. 20 Oklahoma State to arrive this weekend.

This weekend’s matchup against the Cowboys is homecoming and the second scheduled night game for the Mountaineers this season.

“Should be a ton of excitement around Morgantown, I know it’s going to be a good time. It’s another sellout, which we’re all excited about. The last time we played here it was a sell out and it was extremely festive,” Holgorsen said.

“When that game was over, I made reference that that’s huge to our football team. Our players thrive off that. (I) can’t say enough about how much that affects the game, how our players play, our guys are excited to be home.”

The Mountaineers have little time to prepare for Oklahoma State.

Against the Sooners, West Virginia tallied 11 penalties for 111 lost yards, something the team is going to focus on this week in practice according to coach.

“It was a pretty rowdy game with a lot of emotion. We had some guys make mistakes when it came to that. We need to be a little bit more smart with technique, a little bit more smart in reacting to situations,” Holgorsen said.

Holgorsen said while it is beneficial for them going into the game, having more time to prepare for the defense Oklahoma State brings would be a bigger help.

“It’s going to be tough;

they’re on a roll,” he said.

“We played a very good team in a hostile environment with as a good a defense as there’s going to be out there, Oklahoma State brings the same challenges.

WVU’s Mia Swanegan and Brittany Sample attempt to block a shot at the net last week against TCU.

WVU faces Robert Morris in nonconference battle by johnna herbig sports correspondent @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University volleyball team will host a match tonight against the Colonials from Robert Morris University.

Robert Morris currently has an overall record of 8-9 this season.

The Colonials are led offensively by junior outside hitter Arden Fisher, who has a total of 203 kills this season. Senior Kristin Thompson has 119 kills,

and freshman outside hitter Taylor Lord follows closely behind with 110.

The defensive side of RMU’s team is also headed

by Fisher, who has a total of 235 digs. Following behind her are Lord, who has 222 digs and freshman Allie Yurkovich with 210.

West Virginia is entering in the game after three straight losses against No. 2 Texas, TCU and No. 12 Kansas.

The Mountaineers’ offense is led by sophomore outside hitter Mor-

gan Montgomery, who has the team high of 213 kills.

With 133 kills, senior Caleah Wells follows behind her, and sophomore Mia Swanegan has 97 herself.

Sophomore Gianna Gotterba is holding the defense down for WVU, leading the team with 207 digs, while Montgomery has 116. Behind them are senior setter Brittany Sample, who has 106 digs and junior setter Haley Roe, who has 91.

When the two teams last met in 2014, WVU beat

Robert Morris 3-0. The set scores for this match were 25-15, 25-22 and 25-15.

“I was really pleased with the way we approached the match tonight,” said then WVU head coach Jill Kramer in an interview with WVUSports.com. “We did a good job of finishing in sets one and three. There’s a lot of things we still need to be working on - staying focused and competing hard for the duration of the match are a couple of those things.”

WVU also took the win in their 2013 meeting. The match was 3-0 and the set scores were 25-21, 25-13 and 25-19.

“We had a little bit of a shaky start. We just weren’t playing at the top of our game,” Kramer said. “Once we started getting it going, I thought the second and the third sets were good volleyball on our part.”

The last time Colonials were able to defeat the Mountaineers was in 2012. The match score was 3-2, with set scores of 17-

25, 17-25, 25-19, 25-18 and 13-15.

“We still have a still have a lot to learn as a group.

I was very unhappy with the way we came into the match and how many unforced errors we committed at the beginning of the match,” Kramer said in an interview after that last Robert Morris win.

Tonight’s matchup between the Colonials and the Mountaineers begins at 6 p.m. at the Coliseum. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

CROSS COUNTRY

No. 20 West Virginia heads into season’s stretch run

BY JOEL NORMAN SPORTS WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

After two regular season races, the No. 20 West Virginia women’s cross country team has had its ups and downs.

This weekend, the Mountaineers placed first out of 33 schools in the five-kilometer blue race of the Greater Louisville Classic.

However, three weeks prior to the first place finish, the Mountaineers finished third out of four schools at the Harry Groves Spiked Shoe Invitational at State College, Pennsylvania.

After this Saturday’s victory, head coach Sean Cleary called it a “small step in the right direction.

“We are well aware that we have to continue improving if we want to reach our goals for the season,

but we enjoyed today, and we keep working on our weaknesses,” Cleary said in an interview with WVUsports.com.

If the success at Louisville was indicative of anything, it is that the threeweek break after the Spiked Shoe Invitational was instrumental in turning things around.

West Virginia will have a similarly lengthy break before its next race.

The Mountaineers travel to Madison, Wisconsin on Oct. 16 for the Wisconsin Adidas Invitational, leaving the team 12 days between the two races.

Once again, this gives West Virginia ample time to prepare for the next race.

“Training over the last few weeks has brought both highs and lows,” Cleary said.

Mets’ Harvey misses playoff workout VS

ROBERT MORRIS WEDNESDAY, OCT. 7 • 6 P.M.

Come out to support your Mountaineers!

WVU COLISEUM WVU STUDENTS ADMITTED FREE WITH VALID I.D.

NEW YORK (AP) — Matt Harvey missed the New York Mets’ mandatory workout Tuesday at Citi Field and apologized to the team for arriving late.

The star pitcher did not give a reason for his absence when he spoke to reporters about 15 minutes after the workout ended.

He did not take questions.

Mets manager Terry Collins told reporters Harvey called and said he got stuck in traffic.

“I just screwed up,” Harvey said.

New York opens its NL playoff series against the Dodgers on Friday night in Los Angeles. Harvey is scheduled to start Game 3 at Citi Field next Monday.

“I’m concerned about the guys that are here. And the guys that are here, we had a great workout,” Mets captain David Wright said.

“So you have to talk to Matt

about that.”

Harvey was not on the field as the Mets went through drills from around noon to 2 p.m. General manager Sandy Alderson initially said he didn’t know why Harvey was absent.

“Obviously, today was not the greatest. I know we had a mandatory workout.

And the last thing I ever want to do is not be here for my team,” Harvey said. “Basically, there’s no excuse. I screwed up. I wasn’t here. I showed up a little late.”

Harvey’s agent, Scott Boras, also was in the dark at first. He told The Associated Press by phone he wasn’t sure why his client wasn’t at the workout.

There was no word from the Mets about whether Harvey might be disciplined.

“I’ve talked to Sandy and I’ve talked to Terry and my teammates and apologized

to them and apologized to everybody,” Harvey said, wearing sweats and a Mets cap while seated in front of a microphone.

“They understand I’m here to get my workout in and be with the team. Unfortunately today, I screwed up. So there’s not really anything else to say. They know what happened and I told everybody and apologized to everybody, told them it’s not going to happen again. It’s never happened before and unfortunately it happened kind of at a bad time.”

Harvey’s time in New York has been anything but drama-free. The righthander was in the middle of a ruckus last month over his workload on the mound in his first season back from Tommy John surgery. He finished 13-8 with a 2.71 ERA in 29 starts and 189 1-3 innings.

Patterson proud of No. 2 TCU’s resilience DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Gary Patterson called No. 2 TCU’s four-game stretch before its bye week the most important one of the season.

The Horned Frogs are halfway home.

TCU (5-0, 2-0 Big 12) followed a back-and-forth 5552 win at Texas Tech (3-2, 0-2) with one of their most impressive wins under Patterson, a 50-7 home thrashing of Texas last weekend.

Patterson and the Horned Frogs have a pair of road games left; Saturday at Kansas State (3-1, 0-1) and on Oct. 17 at Iowa State (22, 1-0) before finally getting a week off.

TCU’s unbeaten start has been particularly impressive considering that they’ve lost more than half of their starting defense to injuries. But Patterson said that defensive end Terrell Lathan could be back for this weekend’s game against the Wildcats.

“They’ve had a lot of resiliency. I’ve been proud of them. With everything that’s happened to them, they just keep fighting,” Patterson said.

TCU’s success came at the expense of reeling Texas (1-4, 0-2) which has dropped back-to-back games to the Horned Frogs for the first time since 195859. It won’t get any easier this week.

The Longhorns limp into the annual Red River Showdown with Oklahoma in Dallas with the secondworst record in the Big 12 behind Kansas (0-4, 0-1).

“They’re eager to get back on the field and let people know that wasn’t our team,” coach Charlie Strong said.

But Oklahoma was in a similar spot two years ago as a heavy favorite against the Longhorns - and got beat 36-20.

“It’s safe to say that that will be brought up,” Stoops said.

DOWNED: Kansas State was victimized by an officiating error late in the first half of last week’s 36-34 loss to No. 21 Oklahoma State (5-0, 2-0). The chains were

set for a 1st-down-and-15 following a holding penalty on Oklahoma State, but it should have been a 1stdown-and-20. The Cowboys, who were down 28-13, went on to score a touchdown on that drive. The Big 12 acknowledged the mistake, but Wildcats coach Bill Snyder wasn’t too happy about being victimized by something he had no control over. “Maybe we need a better system than what we have,” Snyder said. “I’d like to labor under the assumption that those things will be taken care of by other people.”

EXTRA POINTS —Kansas will enter next week’s game against No. 3 Baylor (4-0, 1-0) as one of the biggest home underdogs in recent memory. The Bears, who’ve won all four of their games by at least four touchdowns, were a 42-point favorite against the Jayhawks as of Monday. The rebuilding Jayhawks were manhandled

by Iowa State (2-2) in their opener 38-13, while Baylor beat Texas Tech 63-35.

“I’m not really sure how you slow these guys down, because I don’t know many people that have,” Kansas coach David Beaty said.

Coaches preach about avoiding turnovers because they’re often the difference between winning and losing. West Virginia, which led the Big 12 in turnover margin heading into October, committed five in their 44-24 loss to Oklahoma last weekend. “We’ve got to play a little bit smarter,” saidWest Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen.

“I’ve been in involved in college football now for 30 years almost, and I’m not actually sure what makes kickers tick. He’s very low key. He’s a hard worker.

He’s disciplined. He doesn’t get too emotional.” - Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy about kicker Ben Grogan, who has hit gamewinning field goals in each of the last two games. Grogan hit a 37-yarder with 32 seconds left to beat the Wildcats.

Strange late sequence gives Seattle 13-10 win over Detroit SEATTLE (AP) — Kam Chancellor saw the ball exposed and threw a punch.

By knocking the ball free from Calvin Johnson, Chancellor may have created a wild swing in where the Seattle Seahawks will finish this season and provided another bit of officiating controversy on a Monday night in Seattle.

“It’s good to have Kam back. To have him make that play was pretty cool,” Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson said.

Chancellor punched the ball free as Johnson was about to score, the saving play in Seattle’s 13-10 win over the Detroit Lions on Monday night. With Detroit on the verge of capping a 91-yard drive with the goahead touchdown with less than 2 minutes remaining, Chancellor came from the side and punched the ball from Johnson’s arm as he was being tackled by Earl Thomas. It bounded into the end zone where it was guided over the back line

by K.J. Wright for a touchback, making it Seattle’s ball at the 20.

It created a massive swing in the standings. Instead of both Seattle and Detroit sitting at 1-3 - assuming the Lions scored and held on - the Seahawks evened their record at 2-2 while Detroit sits at 0-4 for the first time since 2010.

But, as is the case with Monday night games in Seattle and specifically that end zone, officiating controversy followed. Wright should have been called for an illegal bat for hitting the ball out of the end zone, NFL VP of Officiating Dean Blandino told NFL Network. The penalty would have given the ball back to Detroit at the Seattle 1.

No flags were thrown, and on the ensuing possession, Russell Wilson found Jermaine Kearse for 50 yards on third down. With Detroit out of timeouts, the Seahawks ran off the final seconds.

“The back judge was on the play and in his judgment, he didn’t feel it was an overt act so he didn’t throw the flag,” Blandino said. “In looking at the replays, it looked like a bat so the enforcement would be basically we would go back to the spot of the fumble and Detroit would keep the football.”

The non-call came in the same end zone where Golden Tate caught his infamous “Fail Mary” when Seattle beat Green Bay on a Monday night three years ago.

“It’s a very thin line - super thin line - between wins and losses in this league,” Johnson said.

Here’s what else to know from Seattle’s 10th straight win on Monday nights: PROTECT WILSON: Seattle’s offensive line continues to be a sieve for opposing defenses.

Wilson was sacked six times by Detroit and has been sacked 18 times this season, tied for the most in the NFL. Not all of the sacks are on the offensive line, but there are major concerns about pass protection and being able to create openings in the run game.

“It’s not as good as we needed it to be. The protection; we didn’t run the ball as well as we wanted tonight and we obviously had trouble protecting,” Carroll said. “We just have to help those guys more.”

NOWHERE TO RUN: Detroit continued to get little done on the ground. The Lions finished with 53 yards rushing on 18 carries, led by the 33 yards of Ameer Abdullah. Detroit’s longest run play was 9 yards, and the Lions have been held to fewer than 70 yards rushing as a team in every game this season.

“It’s a number of different things,” Caldwell said. “It’s not just the line, it’s across the board. It’s a bunch of different things here and there.”

Collins, Gibbons among managers making playoff debuts NEW YORK (AP) — Late in the season, as the New York Mets closed in on their NL East championship, one opponent after another sat in the visitors’ dugout at Citi Field and commended manager Terry Collins.

“Real happy for T.C.,” was the sentiment echoed by Atlanta skipper Fredi Gonzalez and others.

The popular Collins, at 66 the oldest manager in the majors and the consummate baseball lifer, is about to make his playoff managerial debut. He’s one of four bench bosses who reached the postseason for the first time this year - each the fulfillment of a unique journey.

“It means a lot to me,” Collins said late last week. “We sat up here and we told our fan base and our media that it’s going to get better and next year we’re going to win. And then to be sitting today and say we told you, it means a lot.

It does.”

hockey coach Scotty Bowman, who chatted with Gibbons behind the batting cage Saturday before the Blue Jays faced Tampa Bay. “The way you played in the season is probably not going to be good enough. You’ve got to be a little better.”

Bowman won a record nine Stanley Cups. Meanwhile, Collins and the rest of this year’s playoff neophytes have been working their en-

tire careers to earn one shot at a World Series ring.

“I’m a baseball guy and I’m a baseball development guy,” said Collins, who leads the Mets against the Dodgers beginning Friday night in Los Angeles. “This summer, all I did was write the lineup and try to keep the clubhouse a fun place to be, and it worked out. So I was pretty happy the other day when we won that thing.”

Hinch gets the first crack at winning in the playoffs when his surprising Astros play at Yankee Stadium in the AL wild-card game Tuesday night.

“Octobers usually come through New York. At least they have in my career,” he said Monday.

Hinch was 34 and by far the youngest manager in the majors when the Stanford graduate took over the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2009.

With no previous experience in that role, his ineffective tenure didn’t last long.

But he’s been a big hit this year in his first season piloting the young Astros.

“Very open door. Very much a player’s manager.

For us, that’s great. We need a guy like that, that lets us play,”

Houston ace Dallas Keuchel said. “Kind of a trial by fire, but he has our backs. That’s what he’s done all year.”

Collins’ career could hardly be more opposite. He managed in Japan and Venezuela, Vero Beach and Buffalo.

He coached with Tampa Bay, scouted for the Chicago Cubs and spent more than a decade all told with the Dodgers during separate stints in their storied farm system.

Along the way, the diminutive pepper pot developed a fiery reputation and seemingly crossed paths with almost everyone in baseball.

Still, he likes to joke about how his wife calls him an “idiot” whenever a pinch hitter or pitching change backfires.

Collins managed TripleA Albuquerque to a 1987 championship in the Pacific Coast League. But until now, his only chance to wear a big league uniform in the postseason came as mentor Jim Leyland’s bullpen coach with the 1992 Pittsburgh Pirates.

Once he got his opportunity to manage in the majors, Collins finished in second place five times during the 1990s, his Astros and Angels teams squandering several late leads.
