University beats 600 schools in completions of suicide prevention by taylor jobin staff writer @dailyathenaeum

West Virginia University has been ranked No. 1 out of 600 schools for having the most students and employees complete its suicide prevention training program in 2014.

Kognito, an innovative online suicide prevention program, created the ranking.

The University has been using Kognito’s online prevention and awareness modules as part of a three-year grant given by The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services branch of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Resources.

Athough WVU didn’t employ the program until August 2014, it managed to be recognized as the No. 1 school.

“Kognito is an online, interactive role-play training, and we have modules that are tailored to students and modules for staff and faculty,” said Allison Cutlip, WVU HelpWELL Program coordinator at the Carruth Center for Psychological and Psychiatric Services. “And then we have different types of training within that, too.

We have an at-risk module, a module for veterans and a model for LGBTQ.” In total, WVU has a fleet of seven different Kognito programs for students, fac-

ulty and staff. The interactive courses teach the warning signs of students who are in distress or who show worrisome behavior. Each course has a role-play aspect to it.

Users learn how to manage difficult conversations.

“Basically, it’s like getting practice in a virtual (setting) and you’re doing it with an avatar so it’s a pretty riskfree environment,” Cutlip said. “If you’re going to have a tough conversation where you really want to give support to a friend and you’re going to mess up, you want to practice that online instead of in person. It really trains you how to have that conversation (and) kind of see if you should refer some-

one to the (Carruth) center or how to identify someone who might need a little extra support and how to get them to where they need to be.”

Kognito is on SAMHSA’s national registry of evidencebased programs and practices, meaning its researchbased findings are widely recognized as effective.

According to Cutlip, stress and transitional periods are leading causes in suicidal thoughts. Because of this, it is important for students, faculty and staff to be aware of and have training on these matters, since stress and transitional periods are common occurrences on college campuses.

“The more people who

take this training, the better equipped we are to support students and peers. The more people and eyes that we have out there who can understand warning signs, who can intervene and bring students to the needed resources, the better,” Cutlip said.

To help combat stress on campus, the University created the HelpWELL app. The app helps students monitor their health on a daily basis by keeping track of their mood and anxiety levels. If the app recognizes that a student is more stressed or anxious than normal, it will send them reminders such as “go to the rec center or take a walk on the rail trip

TWEETING for

or try something new,” Cutlip said.

The app also has many recourses for mental wellness, as well as links to the National Suicide Prevention Hotline and the nearest mental health facilities.

Besides the Kognito training and the HelpWELL app, students can visit the Carruth Center for one-onone face time with a mental health expert. Students get up to 12 sessions free of charge.

The new Sheetz at University Place is located off University Avenue and is within walking distance of Summit and Honors Halls, as well as the Downtown Campus.

by rachel mcbride staff writer @dailyathenaeum

Sheetz will be hosting a “Free Ride” sweepstakes, giving West Virginia University students the chance to win $10,000 for their tuition and book fees. The sweepstakes is in honor of the new Sheetz location at University Place, intended to open March 3.

The “Free Ride” contest begins today and ends Friday, Feb 27. Students will have a total of four chances to win the grand prize by taking four separate photographs (two per week)in front of Sheetz backdrops which will be placed at the Mountainlair or the Sheetz coffee truck. Students must tweet to the @WVUPlaceSheetz with the hashtag #SheetzFreeRideSweeps.

From the tweeted photographs, ten finalists will be chosen and the winner will be announced at the West Virginia vs. Oklahoma State men’s basketball game at 2 p.m. March 7 at the WVU Coliseum.

David Smith, Sheetz concept development manager, said the store at University Place is unique and full of great potential. According to Smith, this particular store is the biggest store within the Sheetz franchise.

“It (the store) is unique because there is no gas here. We will be completely food focused,” Smith said.

According to Smith, the store was designed with millennials in mind.

“The millennials are the future,” Smith said. “They are going to be in here, and we want them to have a good experience.”

The layout of the store includes gourmet ice machines, a flattop grill, a milkshake machine as well as many other “made-to-order” food appliances. Smith said the store will be the first of its kind to have an entire grocery section in the store.

Sophomore Iryna Kovtoniuk said she thinks the store’s Sunnyside location will be convenient for students who need to grab something to eat.

“I’m personally quite indifferent about it, but for those who like eating at Sheetz but can’t drive, it will be great,” Kovtoniuk said.

The Sheetz coffee truck will stop at various locations throughout the WVU campus offering free samples from

SHARING THE LOVE Commentary: One columnist shares the need for helping the homeless of Morgantown OPINION PAGE 4

Last week, the Coordinating Council on Homelessness released its annual report that showed significant progress in addressing homelessness in Morgantown while briefing citizens on its future plans to hopefully eliminate the situation.

After taking part in the nation-wide 100,000 Homes Campaign, an initiative in which more than 186 communities worked to find permanent homes for 105,000 chronic and medically vulnerable, homeless Americans in a span of four years. The CCOH assisted in rehousing 206 homeless persons between 20132014, a 42 percent increase from the previous year.

To expand on its progress, the City of Morgantown and Monongalia County, among other West Virginia communities, have been invited to participate in a follow-up program called Zero: 2016.

Launched just last month by the New York City based non-profit Community Solutions, Zero: 2016 is an initiative to end veteran homelessness by the end of 2015, and chronic homelessness by the end of 2016.

According to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, a person who is chronically homeless holds a disabling condition and has either been continuously homeless for a year or more, or at least four times in the past three years.

Rev. John Sonnenday, executive director for CCOH, said the goals exerted by the Zero:2016 initiative should not be difficult, for the local community to meet based on numbers shown in the recent Point-In-Time count, an annual collection of data within communities across the nation to show how many homeless persons there are on any given night.

“We found that there were 83 homeless people in our community and of those 83, over 34 of them are chronically homeless which means that those are the folks we want to get into housing as soon as possible,” Sonnenday said.

The report released by the CCOH also indicates there are approximately a dozen homeless veterans in the area.

Sonnenday said this upcoming spring, the Bartlett House will erect a new structure on West Run Road that will open 36 more beds and that Caritas House will be adding a housing unit with eight more beds.

“For the first time, we’re going to have housing in which there’s much more in line with the level of need we have. The need has overwhelmed the available housing in the past, but we’re going to get caught up this year. So, I think that there’s a very good chance we will meet that two-year deadline and, in fact, I think we might even meet it sooner than that,” Sonnenday said.

The favored “Housing First” tactic will not only keep homeless persons off the street, but will also save the community thousands of dollars in tax revenue.

According to a study commissioned by Community Solutions, on average, the federal government saves $13,000 a year per person rehoused. The savings are due to the reduction of costs in emergency services, such as medical care, incarceration, shelter use or substance abuse treatment, homeless persons seek while on the streets.

“I think a lot of people don’t fully realize that Housing First is less expensive for communities than leaving homeless people on the streets. When you put someone in housing, their healthcare expenses go down and their criminal justice expenses go down,” said Andrew Gibbs, communications manager for Zero: 2016.

Sonnenday points to a study recently published by West Virginia University’s School of Public Health,

Authorities investigating triple homicide in Kentucky CORBIN, Ky. (AP) — A 16-year-old boy killed in a shootout Saturday with police in Maryland, prompted the search of his home over 500 miles away in Kentucky, where authorities found the bodies of his parents and younger sister.

Friends and relatives of Jason Hendrix were struggling to understand how the boy, a faithful churchgoer who was baptized just two months ago, could end up as the suspect in the slayings.

Hendrix, a Kentucky high school ROTC student and active church member, was angry at his parents for taking away his computer privileges when he’s suspected of killing his family execution-style before fleeing to Maryland, where he died in a shootout with police, the town’s police chief said Sunday.

Police believe the victims were gunned down late Wednesday afternoon in their home, Corbin Police Chief David Campbell said.

The father still had on his sport coat and tie from work when he was shot twice in the head. The mother was ambushed as she stepped into the kitchen from the garage after arriving home from work.

The couple’s 16-year-old son, Jason Hendrix, fled in his parent’s green Honda Pilot, armed with four weapons and a backpack full of ammunition, Campbell said.

“Right now all the evidence points toward him as being the shooter,” the chief said.

Baltimore County Police said Sunday the teenager shot a police officer Saturday after crashing the Honda Pilot into a silver sedan. At least six officers opened fire on Hendrix, who was pronounced dead at the scene. Mary-

land State Police say they initially sought to pull over Hendrix Saturday for a speeding violation.

Police found a gas receipt showing that the teen had been in New Jersey on Thursday.

The teenager was angry at his parents for taking away his computer privileges a couple of days before the slayings, Campbell said.

“The mother had talked to a co-worker and told her that he was really mad about that,” the chief said.

The family members found dead Saturday in their home were Kevin and Sarah Hendrix and their daughter, Grace, who was about 12, Campbell said. The mother was shot twice in the face. The girl was shot twice in the head and once in the arm. The shooter fired into pillows at close distance, the chief said.

“He left them where they were and put the pillows over their heads,” Campbell said.

Jason Hendrix met up with friends at church that evening and showed no signs of distress.

“They said he was just like he usually is,” Campbell said.

Police didn’t know why the suspect decided to flee to the East Coast. The family had no relatives in Baltimore, Campbell said.

“We have no clue why he went up there,” the chief said.

Family and friends in this small southeastern Kentucky town were struggling to understand Sunday how a teenager known for being polite could be suspected of the killings.

Kevin and Sarah Hendrix were beekeepers who sold honey in the local farmers market, and Grace Hendrix was a middle school cheer-

Yellow tape surrounds a home in southeast Kentucky on Sunday where a family was found slain. A couple and a young girl were reportedly found dead in the home on Saturday. Police are investigating to see if the case is connected to the shooting death of a young man in Baltimore on Saturday. leader. A spokesman for Union College in Barbourville confirmed Sarah Hendrix was a professor at the school.

Drew Mahan, the founding pastor of Forward Community Church where the Hendrixes attended, said officers questioned him extensively about Jason on Saturday night after discovering the bodies. He described Jason Hendrix as a faithful member of his 3-year-old church that held services at a local movie theater.

Hendrix would arrive at the theater every Sunday at 7 a.m. to help set up the church’s equipment and was recently baptized dur-

ing a service in December.

“People want to ask questions. Why? How? I simply looked at folks today and said, ‘I don’t know,” Mahan said after finishing the Sunday morning service.

“The guy has been here.

He’s been an influence on our students, he’s been an influence on my own kids.

They love him.”

Michelle Payne, a 30-year-old mother who lived across the street from the Hendrixes, said they were “your classic small town family,” adding she had not seen the family since Tuesday night when Kevin was walking the family’s dog. And she said the school bus had not stopped

at the house for several days to drop off Grace.

Greg Razmus, 46, owns the theater that Forward Community Church uses for its services and volunteers at the church, said he had become close to the Hendrix family, especially Jason, whom he frequently talked with about his life.

He said Jason had the same struggles common to most teenagers, including getting angry at his dad for grounding him because he texted someone he wasn’t supposed to.

“Just normal stuff,” he said. “There was never any sign of anything you would think could cause this.”

Mahan said Grace Hen-

drix was beautiful and bubbly with “tons of friends.”

“She was one of those girls that just seemed older than what she was,” Mahan said. “You could tell that she looked up to Jason a lot. She was proud of her brother. That’s just another reason (why this is ) so senseless to us.”

The police officer who was shot was treated at the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center, according to the statement.

He was released Sunday.

Six Baltimore County Police officers fired their weapons during Saturday’s shootout.

They will be placed on administrative status pending a review of the incident.

US colleges bringing in chaplains to serve the nonbelievers LOS ANGELES (AP) — When Bart Campolo broke with the church almost five years ago, he immediately began to feel something missing.

It wasn’t so much that the pastor’s son no longer believed in God; he’d never been that much of a believer anyway. What he missed, Campolo said, was what the church had represented to him: a place where likeminded people could gather for fellowship, to pursue moral justice, to help one another and to try to live good lives.

So the onetime United Methodist youth minister, who worked for decades with the poor in inner-city neighborhoods in Philadelphia and Cincinnati, figured he’d try to keep doing that by presiding over what he cheerfully calls “a church for people who don’t believe in God.” Campolo, 51, joined a growing movement of college “humanist chaplains,” arriv-

“You have these enormous costs, and that doesn’t include the ambulance visits or the extra police costs generated by homeless people who are on the street. It doesn’t include the addiction services that people need, which doesn’t really produce much because they don’t make much progress if they’re still homeless,” Sonnenday said. “If you add all that up, you find that it costs communities thousands of dollars.”

But would providing

housing to homeless persons with drug addictions and mental illnesses drive away an incentive to seek help? Both Gibbs and Sonnenday say housing these people is actually more likely to trigger their seeking help.

“Providing housing first before addressing some of their underlying issues like substance abuse and disabilities has proven to be very effective. It puts them in a better position to address it and it’s just much easier to address these underlying is-

sues when someone is living in a home versus living on the street,” Gibbs said.

The CCOH, Economic Development Committee of Main Street Morgantown and members of the City Council are currently discussing the possibility of a day center for homeless persons which will allow them to pass time off of the streets and have a place to seek services like a dining facility offering free meals and Connecting Link offices, which offers mentor programs, budget counseling and emergency financial assistance to residences of Monongalia, Marion, Harrison and Preston counties.

Sonnenday also said he is pushing for the possibility of providing the center with showers, lockers for personal belongings and even computers to aid in job searches.

“It would be a place to gather. Even if a person is housed, they still may not

have any place to go spend their time. So, if we have a place for people to have a social life, it will allow them to not have to gather on the streets which will be a great benefit to the downtown community,” Sonnenday said. “Rather than wander all around town and piece together help from different places, you can go to this one place and they can help you through the process.”

Gibbs said communities taking initiative to solve homelessness are vital to eliminating the homeless issue rather than relying on state and national programs.

“You need to truly understand who those people are and understand their unique needs so you can match them with the available and appropriate resources. When you have communities on the ground doing that work, it provides the ability for people to really get out there and get to know the people who need

their diverse populations, including people who don’t believe in God,” said Speckhardt, adding his own organization has grown from 5,000 to 30,000 members in the past 15 years while collecting 400,000 Facebook followers.

USC already had more than 50 religious leaders ministering to students of various faiths, said Varun Soni, dean of the school’s Office of Religious Life. So it seemed only right, he added, to bring one in for non-believers seeking spiritual guidance.

“Spirituality is really engaged with the ultimate questions that make us human. The questions of meaning and purpose, of significance and authenticity,” Soni said. “Many of our students who identify as religious find the answers to those questions through God. But we realize that not everyone does, and we want to be a resource to our entire university community.” help so they can provide them with the best health and intervention set to their circumstances,” Gibbs said.

Though Gibbs realizes homelessness will never be fully eliminated, he said he sees a future where communities like Morgantown and others in Monongalia County can use these tools taught by the Community Solutions programs in order to have more control over the situation and effectively address homelessness upon its emergence, such as rehousing an individual within 30 days of their becoming homeless.

Sonnenday said he also believes that upon the Zero: 2016 project completion, the city will be able to turn its attention on the rest of the homeless population.

“If we can address chronic homelessness and get that burden off of us, it will allow us to turn our resources, time and attention to the rest of the homeless population, like people whose situation has been triggered by a financial situation. If we can address that kind of homelessness, I think we find ourselves in the position to be able to control that population,” Sonnenday said.

“There will always be homelessness, but I think we will be able to help them very quickly trying to get them back into housing.” danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Review

Music Monday Feb. 16 ‘Kingsman’ shines with comedy and action

By Caitlin Worrell A&E writer @dailyathenaeum

February may be on its way out, but infectious new music is on its way in.

Established artists and breakout stars alike are heating up this month’s lineup of releases, generating buzz amongst fans and critics for the much-anticipated material. This week, music lovers will get to revisit a sultry R&B diva and a Motor City rock legend.

British singer-songwriter Estelle will be the first to drop this week with her fourth studio album, “True Romance.”

The project, which has been quickly gaining momentum amongst critics is undoubtedly seeking to shake the one-hit-wonder label she’s acquired since her breakout on the scene.

America first got its glimpse of Estelle back in 2008 when she and Kanye West collaborated for the popular radio hit “American Boy.” Her flute-like melodies captivated our attention, and that retro-inspired style was just too smooth to forget.

Estelle values her independent creative process, but has taken inspiration from artists including John Legend, Wyclef Jean and Mark Ronson to perfect her work.

The records following the breakout debut were not so buzz-worthy, but certainly did not lack in musical potential. Her third studio album “All of Me,” featured rappers Nas and Rick Ross, giving the record an ultra-urban flair.

She also released a threevolume EP series titled “Love and Happiness” from her self-developed label with BMG records.

“True Romance” captures everything we loved about “American Boy” and then some. Staying mostly true to her R&B roots, jazz influences keep the album mellow. Unlike her previous albums, this project feels more pop with upbeat tracks like “Something Good/Devotion.” The album offers a va-

riety of paces, mixing the slower ballad “Conqueror” with the sexy dance tune “Make Her Say.” Overall, the album is representative of a seasoned artist. Maybe we are just smitten with that charming British accent, but Estelle is definitely keeping our attention.

Jumping over to another eclectic artist, Kid Rock is gearing up for the upcoming release of his new project “First Kiss,” which is set to drop Tuesday. In typical southern rock fashion, the album is filled with enough drinking songs to send someone into a whiskey-induced coma. While it may seem overdone, especially for Kid Rock, “First Kiss” actually manages to keep things fresh.

Spicing things up with more of a country flair, Kid Rock utilizes a raspy southern twang and smooth wailing guitars to woo fans. But don’t get your hopes up just yet–there is plenty of grungy classic rock to go with it.

The head-banging anthem “Ain’t Enough Whiskey” perfectly harnesses the classic rocker’s badass persona with heavy guitars and soulful piano tones. Softer ballads like “Jesus and Bocephus” show fans a mellower side to the tough-exterior rocker.

The verses are lyrically impressive for the not-sopolished artist, creating a nice change of pace on the record.

Probably generating the most noise is the album’s single “First Kiss.” The track takes us back to the eighties for his first kiss, which you probably could infer from the title. Kid Rock reminisces wild past times and heartache.

A music video for the single debuted last month and features the rocker revisiting hometown hangouts and belting out the tune at an old-fashioned diner. The combination of a seriously catchy chorus and a touching love story is sure to make this song an instant hit. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

««««« After much confusion regarding the release date, action-comedy “Kingsman: The Secret Service” finally premiered in North America this weekend.

The Kingsmen is a British private intelligence agency guised as tailors. They are the ultimate gentleman-spies. Kingsmen wear fitted suits and sip fine scotch while effortlessly dispatching villains with their silenced pistols.

The movie starts in the Middle East in the late 90s. During an interrogation lead by agent Harry Hart (Colin Firth), an enemy pulls a grenade in an attempt to kill himself and the secret agents. One agent dives on the suicide bomber, giving his own life to save his fellow agents. This man was main character Eggsy’s father. Upon returning to England, Agent Hart visits his colleague’s grieving widow and young son. He offers his condolences and gives the young Eggsy a medal with a number on the back.

The number, if called, is good for one free favor.

Fast forward to present day. Eggsy (Taron Egerton), now a young adult, has fallen on tough times. After his father’s tragic death, his mother remarried. Eggsy’s stepdad is an abusive alcoholic. When he isn’t hitting his family, he’s at the local pub drinking their money away. This tough home environment has driven Eggsy to a life of petty crime. Eggsy dropped out of school and has criminal rap sheet longer than Adrian Brody’s nose. After an arrest for stealing a car, Eggsy calls the number on the back of the medal he received over a decade ago.

Eggsy is released from the police station and thrust into something much bigger.

Due to the recent and mysterious death of an agent codenamed Lancelot, the Kingsmen need a new agent. Harry sees potential in his late partner’s son and enters Eggsy into the rigorous and deadly training program with the other hopefuls. Only one will pass.

Elsewhere in the world, celebrities and leaders are disappearing and brilliant internet businessman and philanthropist Valentine (Samuel L Jackson) is at the center of it all. Distressed by humanity’s negative impact on the environment, and his inability to reverse the damage through conventional means, Valentine has decided that culling the human population is the only workable solution left. As he attempts to destroy society in an attempt to save Earth, it falls to the Kingsmen to stop him.

What makes “Kingsman” such an excellent movie is how seamlessly it blends action and humor.

Everything about the film is over-the-top,

and this is where a lot of its humor is derived from. Combat scenes are delightfully violent, without crossing into the realm of sickening gore. People get stabbed, cut in half, shot in the head and more, but never once does it become distasteful. “Kingsman” is over the top, but self-aware.

The comedic writing is spot on, too. Dialogue between characters is witty and dry, and dramatic irony is relied on in the most excellent way. One scene has rapscallions in a bar mistake a Kingsman agent as a “dandy.” He’s well dressed, well spoken and in their territory. They soon realize what the audience already knows, in this universe a man in a suit and oxford loafers is a very dangerous man indeed.

“Kingsman” isn’t just hilarious writing and awesome action scenes, the plot line is intriguing and well done too. All of the characters are incredibly relatable and likeable, even Jackson’s sinister and lisping Valentine.

You truly get behind these people and become incredibly invested in where they end up.

The plot line moves forward without becoming too fast or getting bogged down.

I t maintains a comfortable pace the whole time.

This is due to its blend of humor and seriousness. Just as the plot gets super serious, someone cracks a well timed joke to relieve a little bit of the pressure. The result is a movie that keeps viewers hooked without ever becoming tiring. Not once did I wish it would hurry up and reach its conclusion.

“Kingsman: The Secret Service” is an excellent movie. In fact, it may be the best movie I’ve seen in a very long time. It’s funny, action packed and well written. It keeps you entertained completely, the whole way through. I highly recommend everyone go to see this film. wethompson@mail.wvu.edu

Bridging the gap between intention and behavior.

“I’m joining a gym” and “Tomorrow I’ll start eating healthier” are both sentiments we often hear our friends—and even ourselves—say post-holiday season.

Why do we intend to exercise on a regular schedule at the start of the year?

Naturally, intentions of healthy eating coincide with mentions of exercise as both contribute to living well.

There is, however, a gap between intention and behavior. How many of us bridge that gap, actually acting on our intentions?

Especially around this time of year, our intentions are tested as the postNew Year motivation begins to wane.

You can stay mindful of your goals.

Acting on intentions requires us to honestly assess why we have WKHP LQ WKH ¿UVW SODFH Wanting to exercise to quickly drop some extra holiday weight or because everyone else does may not be the right intentions to transform into behavior.

If you intend to make a lifestyle change, take a moment to consider why.

How do your intentions contribute to your ability to thrive?

By getting to the core of your intentions, you may not only become more connected to them, but also be more likely to turn them into planned behaviors and habits.

Plus, setting smaller, work out by work out intentions can realistically help you focus on how you feel in the present.

Documenting our place in society For college students today, it is hard to remember a time when we didn’t type out our assignments and take our photos on a cell phone.

We depend on the use of technology for just about every aspect of our lives, and this may come back to bite us in the butt.

BBC News reported Vinton Cerf, who is commonly referred to as one of the ‘fathers of the Internet,’ said he was concerned with the future compatibility of elements currently used. This lack of compatibility, according to Cerf, could lead to a lack of knowledge about the 21st century.

The comments, which Cerf made at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, point to the loss of all our memories documented digitally, due to the constant advancement of technology.

Take a moment to think about what pictures, papers and messages from a loved one you would have, if you were to lose everything digital tomorrow. It the number small enough to scare you?

As we all continue into the 21st century, it is important to realize that while it is a cornerstone of a modern society, technology always has

the ability to fail. We must also recognize the fact we as a human race have lived and documented our lives without it in the past.

For example, take the process of writing a paper for class. You most likely start (and for many of us, end) with internet sources. From there, you open Microsoft Word and begin typing out the paper from rough notes or drafts you’ve written–if you’ve even done that. Then, depending on the instructor, you may continue on to submit the document via ecampus, Turnitin or email.

Looking through this process, it is easy to see you have no physical version of the paper. Fast forward five years when you are applying for a job that requires would like a writing sample. You think back to the awesome research paper you wrote, but since then you have gotten a new laptop and cleared out your outbox.

Another example could be the case of vacation photos. You take a picture and post it to Facebook with the intention of printing it later.

Years down the road, Facebook may be obsolete or you may have deleted yours.

In either of these situations, mementos and work you have made are gone,

thenextweb.com

and likely can’t be recovered. If we take the time to document our lives outside of online presence, then in the future, we will have more to share with the next

generation.

So, what can we take away from Cerf’s words of technological insight? Think about the pieces of work, pictures and documents you

would want to share with future generations and keep a physical copy.

The internet may not always be available in the way we are used to it. It is impor-

tant we document our time in society and show the future what we had to offer in human history. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

commentary

Have sympathy, volunteer to help homeless today hannah chenoweth columnist @hannahchen2

As children, we tend to feel strong compassion and empathy for the homeless.

We are incredulous and sad that there are people living pillow-less and hungry out in the cold.

However, many of us receive the message from adults that the homeless are drug addicted and dirty– somehow subhuman.

Many people would describe Morgantown as having a homeless “problem,” and yet they don’t see our treatment of the homeless as part of the issue. Growing up, I always felt it was wrong for people to pretend the homeless are completely invisible.

The Zero: 2016 campaign does the opposite of this; it is a well-organized and direct approach to eradicating the issue. When I heard Morgantown was participating in the campaign, I was eager to learn more. I recently met with John Sonnenday, the executive director of the Coordinating Council on Homelessness, to get a better idea of the goals of the campaign, as well as a real scope of homelessness in our area.

Morgantown is one of 71

wheresrooster.com

communities participating in Zero: 2016, a nationwide movement to end veteran homelessness by the end of the year, with another goal to end chronic homelessness by the end of 2016.

It’s an amazing initiative to tackle homelessness, and the more people who are informed of the campaign, the better chance Zero: 2016 has of achieving its goal.

Chronic homelessness refers to people who are homeless for over a year,

or multiple times within a three-year period. These are the people you think of when you hear the word “homeless,” the ones you may have seen on High Street for years.

The chronically homeless are extremely vulnerable; they are the most likely to have mental illness, drug addictions or both.

Most homelessness efforts deal with the easiest cases to house. Zero: 2016 is unique because it helps

the most vulnerable of the homeless community– the cases with which most people don’t want to get involved.

The annual Point-inTime (PIT) count estimates 83 homeless individuals in Morgantown. The total number is actually going down–there were 125 at the last count.

The people you see on the street are really just a small fraction of the homeless community. Many are

working part-time and even full-time jobs, and some are families. Of the 83, 25 from the PIT count are homeless children.

Helping the chronically homeless–the ones who absorb most of the time and money from local and government assistance–makes it that much easier to help the families and children in need.

Students should be more understanding of those who are struggling– especially considering most of us have rent paid by mom and dad.

In Morgantown, landlords could rent an apartment to a family for $650–but why, when they could rent it to two students and charge them each $650.

It’s a tough market, and most of us are lucky to never worry about a situation where we don’t have food and shelter. We should do everything we can to help people who don’t share the same security.

It was eye-opening to hear Sonnenday acknowledge giving money to panhandlers does more harm than good.

“Ninety-nine percent of the time it goes to drugs or alcohol, and that’s not helping,” he said.

It can feel like you’re just ignoring those out on the street, but Sonnenday em-

phasized it is far more helpful to get involved in any of the agencies here in town.

I truly didn’t understand how hard Morgantown is working to help these people. It might seem like no one is doing anything to help, but we have one of the best support networks a community can have.

Homeless people have access to free medical care, shelter and a closet, as well as up to three meals a day.

The best thing you can do is help the agencies providing these services–places like Caritas House, Christian Help, Bartlett House and Health Right.

Sonnenday said students can get involved in a meaningful way–agencies would be happy for students to help out in a way which appeals to them.

Homelessness is a community-wide issue and ignoring the homeless is not a solution.Thanks to Zero: 2016, we will all notice the outcome of coming together with an organized plan.

Why listening to music while studying may be the right move for you elana goodwin ohio state

Second semester is well underway, which means midterms and other tests are looming ahead in the not-too-distant future and that it’s time to once again question how studying while listening to music can affect a student’s studying efficiency.

Researchers and college students have often wondered whether listening to music has negative or positive effects on the student’s studying habits and whether studying while listening to music is a “do” or “don’t.”

Studies have shown that listening to music before studying or performing a task can be beneficial as it improves attention, memory, and even your ability to do mental math as well as helping lessen depres-

DA

sion and anxiety.

Many researchers, as well as students, who think listening to music helps memory have called the practice the “Mozart Effect.” Of course, nowadays many students are not actually listening to Mozart, but pop or other music, so the effect may not be the same.

These studies and researchers seem to indicate that music can actually help you study and those who listen to music while studying may actually be better off for it.

However, there have also been several studies that have shown that music can actually have negative impacts on your studying effectiveness — particularly when it comes to memorizing something in order.

Dr. Nick Perham’s 2010 study, “Can preference for background music mediate the irrelevant sound effect,” explored how music

can interfere with shortterm memory potential.

“We found that listening to liked or disliked music was exactly the same, and both were worse than the quiet control condition,” Perham discovered. ”Both impaired performance on serial-recall tasks.”

Listening to music may diminish your cognitive abilities in these situations because when you’re trying to memorize things in order, you can get thrown off and confused by the various words and notes in the song playing in the background, Perham theorized.

Stanford University professor Clifford Nass had similar thoughts.

“Music with lyrics is very likely to have a problematic effect when you’re writing or reading. Probably less of an effect on math, if you’re not using the language parts of your brain,” Nass said. “In my day, there was

no way you could take music to the library. When [today’s students] go to the library to study, they bring their noise, and music, with them.”

Today, it’s easier than ever to bring your music with you wherever you go as music has become inherently portable. We listen to music while we walk, cook, drive — when we want to feel happy or relaxed. Music has become a fundamental part of our lives, which is why students are so eager to know whether it will negatively or positively impact their studying.

Because music can impact and regulate your mood and the best mood to study in is a more relaxed mood, choosing music that helps you relax but also with enough beat or rhythm to ensure you don’t zone out while studying is crucial. But music that’s too loud or with too much

of an upbeat tempo can also be distracting, so having a playlist or specific artist you turn to for studying music can really help.

If you’re the type of person who has more difficulty multitasking and is easily distracted, listening to music while studying may just cause your attention to drift to the music rather than help you concentrate on your material.

If you’re really set on listening to music while studying but know your focus will probably end up divided, choose classical music or more acoustic music with minimal words to distract you.

Movie scores, which typically consist of a bunch of orchestral pieces, may also be good background music for you to study to.

So basically, the final decision about studying while listening to music is up to you — do you feel you

concentrate better with Taylor Swift or Hozier singing in the background? Or do you find yourself thinking of the lyrics to the song rather than what you’re supposed to be studying?

Music’s effects on study habits will vary from person to person, and can also be affected by what you’re listening to — the genre of the music, how loud it is, etc.

Personally, when I need some background music to study to, I’ll usually make a more acoustic playlist consisting of songs by Joshua Radin, Cary Brothers, and Ed Sheeran, with some of The Fray and Goo Goo Dolls thrown in, too.

But in order for you to study the most productively, you need to figure out the effect music has on your studying ability, and then tailor your studying playlist — be it silence or music — to best suit your needs and efficiency.

WVU introduces student-run label, Mon Hills Records

By Hannah Harless A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

West Virginia University is welcoming its very own professional record label, Mon Hills Records, to campus.

Mon Hills Records is an independent, student-run record label and a large component of the newly accredited Music Industry Program at WVU’s College of Creative Arts.

Darko Velichkovski, a professor and the director of the Music Industry Program, has been essential in the foundation of the label, as well as its continuity. Velichkovski came to the University in fall 2013 in order to implement graduate and undergraduate music industry program, for the school of music, as well as a student-run record label.

“Not only is such a record label needed in order to enable WVU students to actively participate and gain practical experience in commercial music production, promotion, organization and management,” Velichovski said, “but it is also crucial in preserving and strengthening the art of music and its industry, locally and regionally.”

By December 2014, most of the academic design and structure for the music industries was implemented, and Velichkovski was able focus on his idea of forming a record label at WVU. At first, the label only consisted of a small group of interested students Velichkovski assembled from his music industry classes in order to help with the foundation of the label’s organizational and structural matters, which included the label’s mission statement, organizational charts, various departmental roles and work flow.

Once all of the groundwork was com-

pleted, the label held its first Universitywide informational meeting to garner more student interest to the available opportunities in the music industry.

Soon after, the management team, who currently manages all departments within Mon Hills Records, was selected.

These departments include artists and repertoire, recording production, marketing and public relations and art and graphic design. The management team consists of approximately 20 students in various majors, each bringing something different to the table.

This semester, Mon Hills Records has signed three acts: The Steve Smith Band, The High Street Jazz Band and WVU Bluegrass Band.

The Steve Smith Band is an experienced and accomplished band in country music. Smith has opened for some of the biggest names in the industry including Darryl Worley, Lee Brice, David Nail and David Allan Coe. Some of his most notable works are “Wishing Well” and “Another Beer.”

All three bands’ albums are currently in the recording stage and will be released in the spring of 2015.

“We are looking forward to introducing the exceptional music and artistry of these acts to the public, as well as working on expanding their musical reach and growing their audiences and fans,” Velichkovski said.

Mon Hills Records will hold an event, to officially introduce the label and its first signed artists to the public and press. It will be at 4 p.m. on in the Creative Arts Center. March 9, The event is open to the public and will feature live music performance by the artists. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Jeff Gordon wins pole for final Daytona 500 of his career DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — The qualifying session for NASCAR’s biggest race of the year was lambasted by Tony Stewart as “a complete embarrassment” and called a “cute show” by Clint Bowyer.

The frenetic knockout format ended with Jeff Gordon on the pole for the final Daytona 500 of his career.

And as NASCAR executive vice president Steve O’Donnell tried to answer to the wave of displeasure from the drivers after Sunday’s session, he was reminded by Gordon himself what a predicament the series is in regarding qualifying for “The Great American Race.”

“Great format, Steve!”

G o rd o n s h ou t e d t o O’Donnell from the back of

a news conference room.

Indeed, Gordon had no qualms with qualifying after he and Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jimmie Johnson outsmarted the field Sunday to sweep the front row for the Daytona 500. They were among only a handful of drivers who were pleased with the format, and their opinion was most certainly based on the end result.

“This format is crazy a n d c h a o t i c ,” G o rdon said. “It can be extremely rewarding when you have a day like we had.”

NASCAR abandoned single-car qualifying runs, the format used for 56 years at Daytona International Speedway, for the knockout group sessions it adopted last season. The

format was not tried at the Daytona 500 last year, but was used at the speedway in July.

The group qualifying works fine at most racetracks, but has been proven tricky at Daytona and Talladega, where drivers must draft and the leader is not the fastest car. It’s led to strategies that have drivers sitting on pit road watching the clock, and jockeying for position when it’s time to go.

After a five-car accident in the first group of 25 drivers, Bowyer railed against using knockouts to set the Daytona 500 field.

Reigning champion Kevin Harvick and Stewart both vented via Twitter, while Ryan Newman was among the many drivers critical of NASCAR.

“It’s hard to stand behind NASCAR when everybody I talk to up and down pit road doesn’t understand why we’re doing this,” Newman said.

“Maybe I need to be sat down and educated a little bit.”

O’Donnell, who acknowledged the driver complaints, said NASCAR is trying to create a more entertaining format for fans than the snooze-inducing single-car runs.

“We don’t want to see wrecks of any kind. Not lost on us how much work goes into these cars by the teams, the efforts for our biggest race of the year,” he said. “We’ve got a really good track record of making adjustments where we need to, so we’ll certainly evaluate what took place.”

shannon mckenna/the daily athenaeum

Junior guard Bria Holmes looks over the court in last week’s game against Kansas at the Coliseum.

West Virginia loses to No. 3 Bears in Waco in blowout fashion, Baylor’s Davis drops 22 points for win by david statman sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University women’s basketball team went into the weekend playing some of their best basketball of the season. They left searching for answers, after they were thoroughly dominated by the No. 3 Baylor Lady Bears, 79-51 yesterday in Waco, Texas.

West Virginia trailed from the opening tip and were outclassed on both ends of the court in the blowout loss. For Mountaineer head coach Mike Carey, it was his team’s

lack of aggression and energy that did the most damage against one of the nation’s best teams.

“We were passive,” Carey said after the game.

“That’s something we talked about, being aggressive offensively and defensively. We weren’t focused. I thought some people for us played hard.

We couldn’t score. They just pounded us in the paint.”

Facing a Baylor squad that has rolled unbeaten through Big 12 competition, the Mountaineers had some positive history to draw confidence from.

West Virginia stunned the

Lady Bears in Waco last season, and, last month in Morgantown, they came as close as any conference team has come to beating Baylor in a four-point loss.

None of that mattered yesterday. Baylor jumped out on a 12-0 run at the beginning of the game, and the Mountaineers never threatened.

Baylor led by as much as 22 in the first half. While West Virginia had occasional good stretches of offense during the frame, they still found themselves down 47-28 – most shockingly, the Mountaineers were outrebounded 28-7

in that first half.

Any thoughts of a West Virginia run to open up the second half were quickly dashed when Baylor started the latter frame with a 17-3 spurt to remove any and all doubt.

Baylor ended the game with a 50-21 advantage on the glass, holding West Virginia to just 31 percent shooting from the field and 5-15 from beyond the arc.

Freshman Teana Muldrow, little used in recent weeks, led the visitors with 16 points on 6-10 shooting, her first game scoring in double-figure since Jan. 7 against Texas. Junior

guard Bria Holmes, who scored 15 points, was the only other Mountaineer in double figures.

Senior forward Averee Fields, usually West Virginia’s most consistent performer, scored seven points on 2-16 shooting.

While the Mountaineers struggled mightily all night long to find any sort of rhythm, it was clear sailing for Baylor.

All 11 players who saw game action for the Lady Bears scored yesterday, led by forward Nina Davis, who scored 22 points and grabbed eight rebounds. Point guard Niya Johnson, the NCAA Divi-

sion I assist leader, dished out 13 assists to go with seven rebounds and four points.

As the Mountaineers sit on the wrong side of the NCAA Tournament bubble, a road win at Baylor might have been the lift they needed to vault themselves into the field. Instead, they’re 5-8 in the conference with five games to play.

With time running out, West Virginia will get back in action on Wednesday night, when they take on the 16-7 Oklahoma State Cowgirls in Morgantown. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

sports writer @dailyathenaeum

No. 21 West Virginia will be tested tonight as the Mountaineers host No. 8 Kansas. The Jayhawks sit in first place of the Big 12 Conference.

The Mountaineers are coming off a loss to No. 14 Iowa State, a game in which West Virginia kept things close in the first half, but collapsed in the second half to give the Cyclones a season sweep of the Mountaineers.

The shooting woes continued for West Virginia.

Against the Cyclones, the Mountaineers shot under 40 percent from the floor.

“We haven’t shot the ball well all year, this isn’t a revelation,” said head coach Bob Huggins after the loss to Iowa State. “I tried to explain to you guys at that point in time, we have to get a bunch more shots then the opposition to win.”

On the season, West Virginia is shooting 41 percent from the floor and 29 percent from behind the 3-point line.

Juwan Staten is leading the Mountaineers in scoring. He’s averaging 14.3 points per game and again led West Virginia in scoring against the Cyclones, scoring 16 points.

Devin Williams continues to be West Virginia’s

Jayhawks comes during a tough stretch of games for Huggins’ squad.

The Mo u nt a i n e e r s have only won one of their last four games. The three losses were all by double-digits.

“We need to help each other better,” Williams said. “It’s just us, we can’t

look at anyone else. It’s us as a group, as a team. We have to capitalize and do what we do. We haven’t been doing what we do.”

The Mountaineers and Jayhawks will tip-off at 9:00 p.m. and the game will broadcast live on ESPN. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

West Virginia falls to No. 18 Denver, 195.425-194.6 By nicole curtin

Sophomore Alexa Goldberg celebrates a victory during the Mountaineers’ match against the Pioneers.

The West Virginia University gymnastics team fell to the No. 18 Denver Pioneers, 195.425-194.6, this weekend. “Overall, I thought that this was the team’s best performance of the year,� said head coach Jason Butts in an interview with WVUSports.com. “There were some hiccups here and there, but the team had a great attitude throughout. This was a short turnaround for us but I was happy with the energy they all displayed.�

West Virginia is now 6-6-1 on the season, and

'FCSVBSZ B N Q N 'FCSVBSZ B N Q N

even though it didn’t take the team win away Friday night, two Mountaineers took home individual wins. Senior Dayah Haley finished with a 9.875 on the floor, taking first place and sophomore Alexa Goldberg took a victory on the bars with a 9.875 mark– tying her season-high.

In the first rotation, the Mountaineers scored a total of 48.675 on the vault.

Junior Jaida Lawrence took second place with a 9.85 mark, freshman Zaakira Muhammad tied for third with 9.825 and sophomore Nicolette Swoboda hit a 9.725. Muhammad has been solid on the vault this season, she’s scored 9.825 or higher four times on the event.

Going into the second event, Denver was holding the lead after posting a 48.8 on the bars.

WVU hit the uneven bars next and scored a season-high 48.675, but the Pioneers finished a 49.05 on the vault. Goldberg’s win on the bars was her fourth title of the year with a score of 9.875. Muhammad took fourth place with 9.75 and junior Lindsey Litten hit a 9.7. “It was great to see Alexa come back from a week off with a winning routine,�

Butts said.

For the third rotation, the Mountaineers were under 97.85-97.35. Beam was the third event for WVU and while the team had a few individual highs, they were not enough to get the lead.

Freshman Jordan Gillette hit a career-high 9.775, taking second overall, this was her second straight week posting that score. Senior Beth Deal

anchored the event, like she has much of the season, and took sixth place with a 9.65. Sophomore Mackenzie Myers hit a season-high of 9.625. “Jordan continues to surprise us on beam,�

Butts said. “She’s really doing a phenomenal job so far this year.�

West Virginia came out of the beam event with a 48.25, adding the total to 145.6, but Denver scored a 49.075 on the floor and kept the lead with 146.925.

On the floor for the final rotation, Haley anchored with her winning routine and it was her third floor title in the last three weeks. Junior Melissa Idell finished in third place with a 9.85 mark and Goldberg hit a season-high 9.8 taking sixth place.

Although the Mountaineers scored a 49.0 on the floor, they fell short of the Pioneers. Denver tallied a 48.5 on the beam and the final score was a difference of 0.825 with the Pioneers taking the win.

Goldberg competed for the all-around for the second time this season and scored 38.775, while Denver’s Katie Menhinick finished ahead with 38.875. “Our fans were just awesome tonight too,� Butts said. “We appreciated their support especially on the Friday of Valentine’s Day weekend. Their loud cheers kept us motivated.�

T h e Mo u n t a i n e e r s will return to action this weekend at the Coliseum against No. 25 New Hampshire, Mar yland and Rutgers in the third annual Wendy M. Roach Invitational. ncurtin@mix,wvu,edu

Mountaineers earn a tough victory over Ohio by dillon durst sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University wrestling team overcame a late 16-8 deficit to earn a 19-16 victory over Ohio, Sunday.

Trailing 16-15 with one bout remaining, sophomore Cory Stainbrook sealed the victory for the Mountaineers with an 8-0 major decision over Josh Parrett at 133.

No. 16 Mike Morales kicked things off at 141, winning by technical fall, 16-0 over Joel Shump.

“We didn’t know where we were going to start at, but I was pretty happy starting at 141,” said West Virginia head coach Sammie Henson. “Mike (Morales) is pretty much a guaranteed win for us. The way he wrestled on Senior Night, I knew he wanted to go out on top and he did a great job.”

Despite a dominating

start, the Mountaineers dropped decisions at 149, 157, 165 and 174. Junior Bubba Scheffel was able to stop the bleeding at 184, earning a 3-1 decision over Andrew Romanchik and cutting the Bobcats’ lead to five.

Sophomore Jake A. Smith dropped a 4-2 decision to No. 17 Phil Wellington at 197. With three bouts remaining, the Mountaineers trailed 16-8.

Junior heavyweight A.J. Vizcarrondo started West Virginia’s comeback bid, defeating Jesse Webb, 2-0. True freshman Zeke Moisey followed at 125, earning a 17-8 major decision over Zak Hassan. In a winner-take-all finale at 133, Stainbrook took the mat with the match on the line. After jumping out to an early 2-0 lead in the first period, the sophomore earned four minutes of riding time throughout the second period. Stainbrook registered a reversal, three near

fall points and a point for riding time in the third period, defeating Parrett 8-0 and earning the win for the Mountaineers.

After the match, Henson was more than pleased with his team’s performance on Senior Night.

“A.J. (Vizcarrondo) has been wrestling better every week, and Cory Stainbrook wrestled an unbelievable match today,” he said.

“He’s been doing the things we’ve asked—(Zeke) Moisey and Bubba (Scheffel), too. We’ve had quite a few matches where they’re doing the right things, following our system and that’s more important to me. Taking what we’ve practiced in the practice room and getting it done out here.”

West Virginia will take on No. 15 Edinboro during its home finale Friday at 8 p.m. in the WVU Coliseum. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

No. 21 West Virginia falls to Iowa State, 79-59 by ryan petrovich sports writer @dailyathenaeum

No. 21 West Virginia was unable to get a win on the road against No. 14 Iowa State Saturday as the Cyclones downed the Mountaineers, 79-59.

Iowa State jumped out to an early 7-2 lead after Monte Morris hit a 3-pointer, forcing WVU head coach Bob Huggins to call a timeout.

The Cyclones led early in the first half of play.

Sloppy play from the Mountaineers yielded

eight turnovers just five minutes into the game.

The Cyclones took advantage and found points off of West Virginia’s miscues.

Iowa State led, 15-10, with 10:26 remaining in the first half.

Two 3-pointers, one from Juwan Staten and a second from Gary Browne, gave the Mountaineers a 21-19 lead late in the first half.

The final minutes of the first half saw back-andforth action from both squads. Matt Thomas hit a 3-pointer for Iowa State, but Browne was able to hit

a jump shot right at the buzzer for WVU. The Cyclones led going into the half, 36-32.

The Cyclones captured momentum early in the second half, as the Mountaineers had trouble making baskets.

A breakaway dunk from George Niang allowed Iowa State to take a 40-32 lead with 16:55 remaining in the contest.

Another empty possession for West Virginia saw Nathan Adrian get blocked. This allowed Morris to hit a 3-pointer in transition.

The Cyclones led 45-34 early in the second half.

“We don’t finish anything,” Huggins said after the game. “We have transition opportunities that they capitalize on and we don’t. We don’t have the experience.”

West Virginia went 22 for 58 (37.9 percent) from the floor, 9 for 28 (32.1 percent) from beyond the arc and made 6 of 12 (50 percent) from the free throw line.

Staten led the Mountaineers in scoring with 16 points, but acknowledged how well Iowa State han-

dled their press defense.

“When our press hasn’t been effective, it’s because they’ve beat us down the court and got easy shots,” Staten said following the game.

Iowa State shot over 50 percent on the game.

West Virginia’s post presence took a blow in the first half as Devin Williams suffered a thumb injury and had his hand heavily taped during the second half.

Things began to unravel for West Virginia as Iowa State started to pull away over the course of the sec-

ond half. The Cyclones mounted an 11-point lead and never looked back.

Chase Connor provided a spark for the Mountaineers, though. Connor hit three 3-pointers to keep West Virginia in a manageable position.

Down the stretch, the Cyclones took care of business against the Mountaineers.

West Virginia dropped to 19-6 and 7-5 in conference play. The Mountaineers will host No. 8 Kansas tonight at home. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

WVU takes two of three from No. 24 Clemson by connor murray sports writer @dailyathenaeum

West Virginia opened the 2015 season by winning a series on the road against No. 24 Clemson, taking two games of a three-game set at Doug Kingsmore Stadium this weekend.

After losing much of his pitching talent from a season ago, head coach Randy Mazey sent a freshman, right-hander BJ Myers, in to the season opener Friday afternoon.

Myers appeared more like a veteran than someone making their first collegiate

appearance, pitching five scoreless innings, striking out five and working around four walks and four hits in a season-opening 2-0 win.

Junior right-hander Blake Smith, who was also making his first appearance for WVU after transferring from Howard College, pitched four innings of two-hit scoreless relief to seal the deal for the Mountaineers.

The Mountaineers took the lead in the top of the seventh inning when KC Huth scored on a wild pitch, and Taylor Munden doubled the margin with a sacrifice fly to right field, scoring catcher Ray Guerrini.

“We went into the season with question marks on the mound and two question marks turned into exclamation points today with BJ Myers in his first college game, shutting out a Top 25 team,” Mazey said in an interview with WVUsports.com.

“Blake Smith went out there and just shoved it tonight. Win, lose or draw, those were the brightest spots of the game for me.”

Saturday’s contest brought another pitching duel. West Virginia’s Ross Vance and Clemson’s Zack Erwin went back and forth, keeping both offenses off balance through the early stages of the game.

Curry wins three-point contest, LaVine takes dunk competition, Beverly wins skills competition NEW YORK (AP) — Stephen Curry honored a fallen fan the best way he knew how. Zach LaVine made a name for himself in a dunk contest that lacked star punch.

Curry bested Golden State Warriors teammate Klay Thompson and six others to win his first 3-point contest, and LaVine put on a spectacular aerial display to take home the dunk competition during a memorable All-Star Saturday night.

Curry paid homage to one of the three victims of the shooting in North Carolina, writing a message to Deah Shaddy Barakat on his sneakers for the shooting stars competition, then swapping those for a different color pair for the 3-point contest. Barakat was one of three Muslim college students killed Tuesday in Curry’s home state.

“It only seemed right to honor him and his family, and hopefully they know that people are thinking about them,” Curry said.

“They’re not alone, and hopefully it can give them some kind of peace and comfort knowing that he was a special guy. And I just did my little part to shed light toward him.”

Curry said there were several connections to the family that touched him.

He said Barakat did his wedding photo similar to a magazine cover featuring Curry and his wife, Ayesha.

Barakat also wore a No.

30 jersey—Curry’s number—in basketball leagues and some of Curry’s family members even played pickup games with Barakat in North Carolina.

“They all spoke highly of him,” Curry said. “It’s a great platform to be on, but it only seemed right.”

Barakat’s wife, Yusor Mohammad Abu-Salha, and her sister, Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha, also were killed in the attack. Craig Stephen Hicks, 46, has been charged with three counts of first-degree murder in their deaths.

Curry, the starting point guard for the Western Conference in Sunday’s All-Star game at Madison Square Garden, made sure he’d have the chance to shine a bright light on Barakat and his family.

He scored 27 points in the final round. Curry connected on 13 consecutive shots until missing his final attempt, bringing fans and celebrities roaring to their feet after every swish at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center.

Thompson, who had an opening-round best of 24, scored only 14 points in the final round. Cleveland’s Kyrie Irving finished second with 17 points in the threeman final.

It was a rare year when the 3-point competition had as much - if not more - intrigue heading into it than the dunk contest because of the notable names who were—and weren’t— participating in each.

Even still, LaVine left a lasting impression few will forget.

The 19-year-old Timberwolves rookie scored a perfect 100 in the opening round. He highlighted his scintillating start with a through-the-legs, onehanded reverse slam, wearing a white No. 23 Jordan jersey for what he dubbed the “Space Jam” dunk.

On his second dunk, he tossed the ball up, put it behind his back in the air and threw down a powerful one-handed slam for another 50 from the Hall of Fame judges—Julius Erving, Walt Frazier, Nate Archibald, Bernard King and Chris Mullin.

LaVine had a final round score of 94 to overtake Orlando’s Victor Oladipo, who struggled to convert his first attempt in the final and finished with a 72 in the championship round.

LaVine became the first Timberwolves player to win the dunk contest since Isaiah Rider in 1994.

“I’m still on cloud nine.

I feel like I’m dreaming,” LaVine said. “Seeing all the dunk contests and people hoisting the trophy, I just saw myself do it and lived it. So it’s a dream come true. I’m glad my family is here to witness it and go through it.”

Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo, aka The Greek Freak, and Brooklyn’s Mason Plumlee didn’t advance past the opening round.

Clemson scratched out a run on a single by Steven Duggar and an error

by WVU’s right fielder Brad Johnson, which allowed Tyler Krieger to come all the way around from first and score the game’s first run.

West Virginia pulled back even at 1-1 on a sacrifice fly by Shaun Wood, but the Mountaineers’ offense was silenced for the next five consecutive innings.

Clemson took advantage of another WVU error in the seventh inning, pushing the lead to 3-1 when Eli White scored after an errant throw to third by pitcher Jordan Ser-

gent. The Tigers added an insurance run on a sacrifice fly to make it a 4-1 advantage.

WVU’s offense made things interesting in the top of the ninth, cutting the lead to 4-2 on a home run by Jackson Cramer, but wasn’t able to draw any closer as the Tigers evened the series at one game apiece.

After being kept under wraps for most of Saturday’s contest, West Virginia’s offense busted out in Sunday’s rubber match.

The Mountaineers push plated six runs on 11 hits during a 6-1 series, clinching victory over the Tigers Sunday

afternoon.

West Virginia benefited from another pitcher making his starting debut in the series finale. Sophomore Chad Donato, who saw limited work in relief last season, pitched seven strong innings, giving up one run on seven hits while walking one and striking out five.

With a 2-1 start and a road series win under their belts, the Mountaineers will be in action next weekend when they travel to the Peach State for a three-game set with Georgia Southern. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
