Kathryn Samuels carries her father’s backpack after his surprise return home from deployment in Afghanistan.

After enduring hours of traveling, lost luggage and Morgantown traffic, Captain John Samuels of Wisconsin, a member of the Army National Guard, finally arrived back to the U.S. after a 14-month deployment to surprise his daughter, Kathryn, for Fall Family Weekend at West Virginia University. As Kathryn, a WVU forensic science student, sat in her regular third-row seat for math class in Hodges Hall, she did not expect the surprise walking her way. The class was told a guest speaker would come at the end of the class, and to their surprise, John was the one standing in the doorway. “I was so surprised,” Kathryn said. “I’m (extremely) excited.”

Men’s rowing to compete in first regatta BY Sam Bosserman Correspondent @DailyAthenaeum

Thousands of rowers representing more than 75 colleges will come together Saturday in Pittsburgh to compete in the Head of the Ohio Regatta. This annual event is one of the largest single-day regattas in the country, and will mark the opening of the competitive season for the West Virginia University men’s rowing club. Jenna Lapointe, the club’s head coach, said men’s rowing is different from other club sports because they represent WVU at the highest levels of competition within rowing. “Since NCAA doesn’t recognize men’s rowing, we are not just rac-

ing against other clubs but against varsity programs, as well,” Lapointe said. “The other cool thing is that regattas don’t just pit one or two schools against each other; I know we’ll be racing at least 10 other schools all at once.” Lapointe said the Head of the Ohio is one of three competitions the club would be participating in this season and was by far the closest in distance. Additionally, Lapointe said WVU would field both novice (first-year) and varsity boats. She also said there is very good reason to be optimistic about WVU’s chances at the upcoming competition. “I think we have the potential to make this a very successful year,” Lapointe said. “The novice squad, in particular, is pulling good

time, and at this point it’s just about getting them to refine their technique.” Lapointe said the rowing team at WVU is a group of very hardworking guys who push themselves at every practice, every day. Novice rower Brian Vaughan said rowing is one of the most intense sports in terms of getting a workout. “We spend a lot of time every day doing weight training and about an equal amount of time out on the water trying to perfect our technique,” Vaughan said. “It takes a good amount of determination to go to practice for two hours every evening after a long day of school. “Rowing is definitely a very taxing sport and really tests your endurance.” Vaughan also said he thinks the best thing about

the rowing team is no prior experience is required to join. “Our coaches are very good at training us up to standards; they try very hard to keep us motivated,” Vaughan said. “We (novices) have only been doing this for about a month, but I think the coaches have really gotten us well prepared.” The Head of the Ohio Regatta kicks off early Saturday morning at Wa s h i n g t o n ’s Landing on the Allegheny River. WVU’s varsity team will race at 10:05 a.m., and the novices will follow at 3:25 p.m. To learn more about the WVU men’s rowing team, visit http://mens-crew. studentorgs.wvu.edu. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Fall Family Weekend tabloid inside

The Morgantown Roller Vixens roller derby league will host a 5k Zombie Run Sunday to benefit two charities. The Zombie Run will be held at Heston Farms, near Fairmont, W.Va., at 11 a.m. All participants in the 3.1-mile race will be running to raise money for charity. “The money is going to two different charities,” said Samantha Kyle, co-organizer of the race. “One is not for profit, the Morgantown roller derby girls, and (the second is) the Fairmont Community Garden, which grows organic food at various places throughout the town. “(The Garden) is trying to get a community orchard where they bring kids in and teach them how to grow food. Heston Farms is one of the main purchasers of the food, and that money goes back into the soil and everything you need to buy

for the event.” Any extra food from the event that isn’t sold will be donated to a homeless shelter. Kyle said the derby girls put a lot of emphasis on community service and charity work. “The derby girls are a WVU student organization, so we do a lot of fundraisers for different charities,” she said. “Heston Farms really loves our organization and has been generous in many ways, including allowing us to use their farmland.” Kyle said she encourages all community members to attend the race. “The race has everything that could be fun in October,” she said. “There are going to be numerous obstacles including a tire and a spider web. It is our first year, and we pulled this off in a little over a month of getting things together. “It’s not professional, but it’s fun. We have a bunch of zombies that are going to chase you in

No. 10 women’s soccer to host Soctoberfest BY Summer Ratcliff City Editor @SummerRatcliff

West Virginia University’s No. 10 women’s soccer team will take on the Texas Longhorns in a Gold Rush game tonight at 7 at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium. In addition to a Gold Rush, the game will also be the second annual Soctoberfest celebration, featuring an evening full of American and German food and drink, including a Biergarten. “Now that we are in the Big 12 Conference season for the women’s soccer program and have a big match coming up with Texas, we’re looking to help attendance and help pack the stands to create a great atmosphere for tonight’s match,” said Matt Wells, assistant athletic director of marketing and sales. “With the Oktoberfest celebration and tying in the sport of soccer and calling it ‘Soctoberfest,’ hopefully we’ll create a unique event and give fans a reason to come out and enjoy a great Big 12 Conference soccer match and create a great environment.” The match is also a “Dollar Night,” with all tickets, hot dogs, popcorn and Coca-Cola products avail-

able for just $1. Additionally, German dishes such as sausage, pretzels, potato salad and more will be served. Oktoberfest beers and domestic beers will also be available for purchase. Parents who are in town for Fall Family Weekend are encouraged to attend the soccer match with their students; admission is free for WVU students with a valid student ID. To generate excitement leading up to tonight’s match, the Mountaineer Maniacs will host a special Chalk Talk event with head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown at noon in the Mountainlair Food Court. Izzo-Brown will talk about the matchup and distribute free pizza and rally towels to students. “We’re very excited that Coach Izzo-Brown has decided to come down to the Lair to preview their big game against Texas,” said Chris Northrup, Mountaineer Maniacs executive director. “This is a great way for students to come get a free lunch and hear from one of our most passionate coaches at WVU.” The Mountaineer Maniacs will also host a tailgate event at 5:30 p.m. at Dick

W.Va. Water Festival comes to Morgantown BY Alyssa Pluchino Staff Writer @DailyAthenaeum

Although it is obvious water is a vital resource to sustain life, many are unaware of other ways water contributes to the life of the Morgantown community. “What the community may not know is the role

water has played throughout our history and today for transportation and commerce,” said Elizabeth Wiles, executive director of Friends of Deckers Creek. “In fact, rivers and other waterways used to be the only means of travelling for millennia. Also the recreational opportunities that rivers, creeks and lakes offer today (is vital).” The Morgantown community, as well as West Virginia University stu-

for college,” Kathryn said. John said he received the full benefit of the post 9/11 G.I. bill and decided to transfer it all to his daughter. While the excitement of seeing her father is still hanging in the air, Kathryn must once again say goodbye in February. John will head to Kuwait for another deployment three days after Kathryn’s birthday. “We’ve done the goodbyes a few times, so it kind of gets old after a while, but it still hurts,” John said.

Fine Arts Association will begin at noon. Throughout the day, other artists, including Captain Catfeesh and Ghost House, will perform. The event will also hold a kids race from 10-11 a.m. Any WVU student who wishes to run as a zombie can receive community service hours through the University on iServe.

Jason Michael Carroll to visit Schmitt’s Saloon and Davisson Brothers Music Hall by carly smith correspondent @dailyathenaeum

Jason Michael Carroll will visit Schmitt’s Saloon tonight.

uwplatt.edu

For the first time, country music singer/songwriter Jason Michael Carroll will take the stage at Schmitt’s Saloon. Carroll, who grew up in Youngsville, N.C., was first discovered at a local talent competition in 2004. Two short years later, Carroll was signed to the Arista Nashville record label. Early in 2007, Carroll released his debut album, “Waiting in the Country,”which rose to No. 1 on the U.S. country charts. Carroll’s first album gave him three top40 hits, including “Alyssa Lies,” “Livin’ Our Love

Song” and “I Can Sleep When I’m Dead.” Carroll’s second album, “Growing Up Is Getting Old” debuted in 2009, and included “Where I’m From” and “Hurry Home,” which soared to the top40 charts. Shortly after his second album was released, Carroll left Arista Nashville. He paired up with Cracker Barrel Old Country Store to release his third album, “Numbers.” Carroll was named “Top New Country Artist of 2007” by Billboard Magazine and was named in “America’s 100 Best” by Reader’s Digest. Carroll has gone on tour with country superstars Brooks & Dunn, Car-

rie Underwood, Trace Adkins and Martina McBride. He has also played at the Grand Ole Opry and at the CMA Music Festival. Carroll released his first single since 2011 in August. “Close Enough” has hit the road on a 75show tour to promote his new music. Carroll will also release a live DVD some time later this year. Schmitt’s Saloon and the Davisson Brothers’ Music Hall are excited to have Carroll performing at their venue. S c h m i t t ’s Saloon opened in March and has been a success with the Morgantown community. Former Mountaineer football player Owen Schmitt

partnered with the Davisson Brothers Band to create the Davisson Brothers’ Music Hall adjoined to the saloon. Schmitt’s Saloon and the Davisson Brothers’ Music Hall have paired up to bring some of the best country music stars to Morgantown. “Redneck Crazy” singer Tyler Farr played at the venue this summer and the band Parmalee is ready to perform their hit “Carolina” at Schmitt’s Nov. 7. Few tickets remain for tonight’s show. The show begins at 8 with the Wyatt Turner Band. Tickets are $12 in advance or $15 at the door. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu.

Local boutiques resound Fashion Week Grand Theft Auto V releases online version Maria Solano Correspondent @dailyathenaeum

Fashion week takes the world by storm every year, and this year is no different. With thousands of fashion fanatics around the world, the runways have a lot to live up to. However, are they the only ones under pressure? The answer is no. Mo rga nt ow n b ou tiques have a commitment to their shoppers that can sometimes be a challenge to fulfill. Cofounder of High Street’s Coni & Franc, Connie Merandi, is excited for fashion week. “Fashion week gives us inspiration, and we see the couture designers influencing fashion with exaggerated statements that trickle down to wearable fashion details that the consumer will be able to incorporate into their wardrobes,” Connie said. Coni & Franc has been in business in Morgantown since 1982; its location downtown has been a great asset to their business since it is located in the heart of the city. Connie and Frank Merandi review designer’s collections together and make selections of what to bring to their boutique

based on what they love, what they think their customer base will appreciate and what they know will sell. “It is always very inspiring to see what fashion week proclaims as new and innovative, and it gives us great pleasure to search for items that we can bring in and share with our clients,” Connie said. On the other side of the spectrum, new boutique Altered Ego likes to stand out. Altered Ego has been in business since 2010, when owner Christina DeAntonis returned to her hometown in hopes to bring Los Angeles to Morgantown. Her materials are shipped here directly from L.A. “Fashion week has not affected those decisions; this is DeAntonis bringing her experience and the light she has to offer to Morgantown,” said a store representative. “It is about bringing women to match their inner confidence.” An even newer boutique in Morgantown, Park & Madison, tries its best to satisfy with the newest and trendiest fashions. The boutique opened in November 2011; the owners, Brittany Palumbo

and Shannon Coombs, brought it to Morgantown, because this area does not offer much in the realm of high fashion. “They go on three buying trips every year: two to New York and one to Las Vegas; they basically choose from brands that will adhere to our clientele,” said Courtney Brown, the store manager. Brown said she does not believe that fashion week affects the way clothes sell in the store. She said she believes that shoppers come to the store to find something they like and trust the owners have filled the store with trendy clothing that is still “in.” “I think shoppers go off of what we have here. They trust us,” Brown said. “Fashion week has a good effect on what we sell every year. I always like it.” Being a new boutique or an established one does not affect Morgantown’s local boutiques at all. They all have the common goal of bringing high fashion to a small college town. Although not everyone is into it, fashion week helps spread the genius behind every article of clothing we own. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Grand Theft Auto V online delivers a highly acclaimed free-play world, but is set back by glitches. People who have extensively played GTA IV can recount Rockstar’s history of glitches. Players could jump off high-rise buildings without dying, run into a 50-car pileup or fly for miles from a swing set. However, the glitches from the GTA V online download are disappointingly unrivaled. The glitches that occur have the ability to completely ruin the gameplay. Some have been known to make a car disappear and a single-player campaign save file be erased. Rockstar has already posted on their website for those who are eager to have a compatible online component. “All of these initial technical issues will be ironed out as soon as we can,” the website said. “Please know that the entire team here at Rockstar and all of our relevant partners are and will continue to be working around the clock to get the experience to be as smooth as possible, as soon as possible.” Beyond the ongoing sit-

uation, GTA V has managed to deliver a unique world. Fans of GTA will be happy to see multiple options for character creation, as small opportunities during online play are a thing of the past. GTA V allows gamers to choose from an odd yet interesting setup list. Appearance and lifestyle choices are familiar, but the heritage option is distinct. The selection is similar to a family tree, in which the physical features of grandparents and parents affect the character’s skin tone, eyes and other features. Ultimately, a mirror appearance is possible, or even the creation of a favorable alter ego. Once one enters the GTA V online world, it is like taking a breath of fresh air is filled with heavy gunfire and missiles – 15 other random players will be helping, destroying or creating competition. However, if one would rather not be in contact with unpredictable, raging strangers, online friends can always be invited to complete objectives. Jobs and missions are a big part of online objectives to earn cash and rank higher. Some game mode jobs include racing and surviving a deathmatch, while missions can be like

working a heist. However, the most favorable of game modes is the free play mode. Since it is an open-world sandbox, players can choose from a plethora of recreational activities. For example, a new addition to GTA V is sports. A game of tennis, golf or base-jumping can be played with a friend or a complete stranger. Rockstar Games changed not only how people play, but also how they socialize. Friends can be invited to another person’s home to watch television or partake in debauchery with a hallucinogenic. For those who don’t think free play and other game modes are enough, there will eventually be new downloadable content. An announcement by Rockstar said the new DLC called “The Beach Bum Pack” will feature capture the flag, cooperative heists and 300 new items, including clothes, weapons and vehicles. The company also said the new updates will be free. For more information on all GTA V, visit http:// rockstargames.com.

Echosmith’s ‘Talking Dreams’ debuts, delivers ’80s-like feel NBC show to feature space travel Mitchell Glazier Correspondent @DAILYATHENAEUM

Echosmith, the Los Angeles-based indie pop band comprised of the Sierota siblings, will be releasing their new album “Talking Dreams” Oct. 8. For the past year, the quartet, comprised of Jamie, Noah, Sydney and Graham, have experienced a meteoric rise to fame. The group was signed to Warner Bros. Records, which fostered the careers of stars ranging from Cher to Sheryl Crow. This past summer, Echosmith performed at the 18th annual Warped Tour, which blended breakout acts with charttopping bands. “We were super excited when we found out we’d be playing (Warped Tour),” Jamie said, Echosmith vocalist and guitarist. “So many bands grow from that and come out with tons of fans.” Echosmith was slated to play only the first half of Warped Tour, b u t due to an overwhelming response from crowds, will play until the tour’s final venue in early

ytimg.com

December. “Talking Dreams” was produced by Mike Elizondo, who dis cove re d ma ny mu s i ca l heavyweights, including Tegan & Sara and Maroon 5. Echosmith describes early ’80s New Wave as an era of inspiration, with nods to the decade in the songs “Come With Me” and “The Safest Place” from the group’s upcoming album. Along with support from a growing fan base, Seventeen called lead vocalist Sydney’s voice “stunning,” and MTV deemed the group a “Buzzworthy Obsession.”

Ec h o s m i t h’s “ Ta l king Dreams” has a very breezy, California feel. Many pop acts, such as Lady Gaga and Katy Perry, have spun the industry away from the “feel good” vibe it was founded upon, with records that carry heavy themes and gritty lyrics. Echosmith reverts back to lighter times in the industry, with songs such as “Come Together” and “Cool Kids.” At the tender age of 16, lead vocalist Sydney truly anchors the group. Her soulful rifts, backed by a strong bass presence, accelerate the tracks. The band is incredibly young, ranging from 14-20 years

of age. With a sound that seems so honed and developed, it wouldn’t be surprising to hear songs such as “Cool Kids” and “Come Together” on pop radio worldwide. The group has experienced a rare – and very deserved – rise to stardom. With youth on their side and a cohesive look and sound, Echosmith’s debut album will put the group on the pop industry’s radar. An autographed version of Echosmith’s Talking Dreams can be preordered online at store. warnermusic.com. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Sinead O’Connor warns Miley Cyrus not to exploit herself LONDON (AP) — Irish chanteuse Sinead O’Connor has waded into the Miley Cyrus controversy, warning the young singer to avoid being sexually exploited by the music industry. O’Connor posted an open letter to Cyrus on Thursday after Cyrus told journalists she had modeled her “Wrecking Ball” video on O’Connor’s famous “Nothing Compares 2 U.” She warns the former “Hannah Montana” star that

it would be self-defeating to market her sexuality. “I am extremely concerned for you that those around you have led you to believe, or encouraged you in your own belief, that it is in any way ‘cool’ to be naked and licking sledgehammers in your videos,” O’Connor writes in reference to the sexually charged “Wrecking Ball” video. She also cautions the 20-year-old Cyrus that the music business will exploit

her and then abandon her. The advice didn’t go down well. Cyrus responded on Twitter by mentioning O’Connor’s struggles with bipolar disorder. In a reference to troubled actress Amanda Bynes, who has been treated in a psychiatric hospital in California, Cyrus tweeted: “Before Amanda Bynes...There was...” and posted O’Connor’s own tweets about seeking psychiatric help.

NEW YORK (AP) — NBC is planning a competition show with a grand prize that’s out of this world: a ride into space. The network said Thursday it is teaming with Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic and veteran TV producer Mark Burnett on “Space Race,” a competition where the winner gets a ride on the space liner that is expected to begin commercial flights sometime next year. NBC offered no estimate on when “Space Race” would air. “The term ‘trip of a lifetime’ has for once been delivered on,” said Paul Telegdy, NBC’s president of alternative and late-night programming. Virgin has been testing its rocket-powered space vehicle this year, with pilots reaching a height of

69,000 feet on a Sept. 5 flight that landed in the Mojave Desert. Virgin has said the goal is to begin commercial flights next year, with Branson and family taking the first ride. Virgin has already collected $80 million in deposits from 640 people interested in experiencing space. A TV show could be great publicity for Branson’s company. Competitors, such as billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk’s SpaceX, are also working to make commercial spaceflight a reality. Burnett, the producer behind “The Voice” and “Survivor,” said he has wanted for years to make a show with the goal of letting a person experience looking down on Earth from space.

WVU Family Weekend kicks off fall

Pumpkin bars, free breakfasts in the residence halls and watch parties. It’s that time of year again, when the leaves turn and the streets fill with students and parents checking out the sights in Morgantown. West Virginia University’s Fall Family Weekend kicks off today with a number of events marketed toward current students and their parents. Tonight will feature the Morgantown Arts Walk, and the Student Recreation Center will be open to students and their family members. This weekend is geared specifically toward students who may not have had the chance to see their parents since move-in day and is a great way to reconnect and show their families the type of education and activities WVU has to offer. However, that doesn’t mean the students whose parents aren’t able to visit can’t partake in the festivities, as well. The Morgantown Arts Walk is a great opportunity to get out of your dorm or apartment and get a bit of local culture. The premise is artists from the surrounding areas set up in the shops along High Street, selling or showing off anything from hand-

made jewelry to framed paintings. Most of the hosting businesses serve drinks and snacks to the visitors. Students can also take advantage of this weekend’s WVUp All Night, which features the movies “Wild Hogs” and “Despicable Me 2” and will be serving pepperoni rolls and snow cones. As an added bonus, Bead Monster will be in the Vandalia Lounge, and there will be an All Sport Bounce House Saturday evening in the Food Court. If you or your family members don’t mind traveling a little outside Morgantown in between Fall Family events, the Spring Folk Festival in Springs, Pa., will be open today and Saturday. This yearly event is a celebration of the arts, skills and labors of our nation’s forefathers. Visitors can enjoy slices of freshly baked brick oven bread slathered with homemade apple butter and watch men hew logs and put on tractor and saw mill demonstrations. Throughout the day, there will be hayrides and more than 140 artisans demonstrating their crafts. And just a few minutes down the road, patrons have the option to purchase some of the best pumpkins and gourds

Making the most of fall emily torbett guest columnist

It’s almost that time of the year again, when the last warm days of summer begin to fade away as the chill of fall creeps in. With the changing of othe season, for most people there is also a change in mood. It’s no wonder the cooler, darker days of fall can cause us to have significantly less energy than the warm, sunshinefilled days of summer, but rest assured the “Autumn Slump” isn’t entirely inevitable. With a little effort, you can make fall every bit as enjoyable as summer. I present to you: 5 Ways To Make The Most Of Fall. 1. Embrace the weather. Cooler temperatures don’t necessarily mean less comfort. In fact, fall is the perfect time to wear your coziest sweater and wrap yourself up in your comfiest blanket. The cooler temperatures are also perfect for drinking something warm. Tea, coffee and hot chocolate are always great, but nothing tastes better on a blustery day than a cup of warm apple cider. Making your own is actually much easier than it sounds. It only takes a few ingredients and some very simple steps, so do some research and give it a try. 2. Go to a football game. Even if you’re not a foot-

ball fan, there is something magical about the atmosphere. The crowd, the chill and the camaraderie come together to make for an experience unlike any other. Dress warm and set out for the stadium early. Spend time before the game tailgating in the parking lot with your friends, then make your way into the stadium to cheer the Mountaineers on to victory. 3. Go for a hike. The landscape of West Virginia is so diverse that whether you’re native to the state or come from far away, you will never run out of places to explore. No time is better for exploring than fall. In fact, West Virginia is so beautiful during the fall months people from all over the country travel here just to see the foliage. You’ll never be able to truly appreciate it if you don’t get outside and see it for yourself, and there are more than enough trails in and around Morgantown to satisfy the wanderlust of even the most experienced adventurers. Check AllTrails. com and find one (or several) that suit you. Nothing says “autumn” quite like the woods, so get a group of friends together, and quite literally, head for the hills. Bonus points if you leave your cell phone at home. 4. Get into Halloween. I’m not just talking

about going out and getting wasted on Halloween night. Really get into the holiday. Buy your favorite candy and put it out in a bowl to share with friends (or keep it all for yourself, that’s cool, too). Put up a few decorations or attempt those Halloween-themed Pinterest crafts. Carve a pumpkin with an intricate design, or just a simple face. Most importantly, dress up in a costume. On Halloween night in Morgantown, just about anything goes, so be whomever (or whatever) you desire. You really can’t go wrong. 5. Try something new. Seriously, nothing will energize you quite like trying something new. Learn to bake. Take up running. Knit a scarf. Just about anything will do. If you’ve wanted to try something for a while, no time is better than now to give it a go. It will focus your energy into a productive outlet and help combat the back-to-school stress. Although it may be difficult to say goodbye to the warm summer days we’ve become accustomed to, there’s no reason why we can’t welcome in the new season with open arms. Lower temperatures don’t necessarily have to be a downer. As long as you stay positive and active, there is no reason you can’t make the most of fall.

Joe will forever be in our hearts and we will miss him terribly. Love, Jim, Joan, James, and Joel Dzuris

Paying homage to our veterans DERRIK WHITLOW columnist

With all of the partisan bickering, we often forget we are still actively engaged in a war far away from our own beautiful shores. At this very moment, there are soldiers merely 18 years old – younger than many of you reading this – fighting, and in some cases, dying for our country. We could all argue the semantics of whether or not we should be involved in this or that conflict until we are blue in the face, but the one thing we cannot argue about is the great lengths to which our service men and women go to protect our rights as Americans. As civilians, we take a minute at particular times of the year to thank our active duty servicemen and vets, such as Independence Day, Veterans Day, and maybe even Labor Day, if it comes to mind. But how often do you walk up to a vet to shake their hand and simply say “thank you” without occasion? In addition to writing for this publication, I also wait tables at a local chain restaurant. Re-

cently at work there was a 90-year-old World War II veteran at my table. He was rather quiet, but I could tell from the look in his eyes and the way he carried himself he was a serviceman. I asked the elderly gentleman if he had ever served in the military, and all at once his old, gray eyes lit up. He told me had served in World War II in the Pacific and went into the service when he was only 15, lying about his age, because he was so compelled by the pull of duty. At a time when most of us struggle to make our beds, this man was defending his home in the most epic confrontation our country has ever seen. As we talked, he spoke at great lengths about how much his World War II experience shaped his life, and most importantly, how much it made him love his country. The tears began to well in his eyes when he brought up how sad he was about the current condition of our country, and how little attention is paid to the sacrifices our men and women in uniform make. There are countless stories such as his that mostly go untold. For some, it may be because it’s too hard to talk about the experiences they had,

but for others, it’s because they don’t feel the appreciation they so greatly deserve. Thus, their stories fade in time and are forgotten. One could only fathom the countless stories the elderly veteran I encountered might have to tell given the time, but they too will likely disappear. If our society had half the character and integrity these men and women have, we would not be in the predicaments we face today. Unless we return to being a country that upholds John F. Kennedy’s famous words – “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country,” – then our once steadfast commitment to public service will continue to dwindle, just as the stories of amazing veterans do. Most cannot fathom the difficulties veterans of all generations have faced both at home and abroad. If, after you read this, you see a veteran, then I urge you to just take a moment and say, “Thank you.” Remind those who have sacrificed they are not forgotten, and they are, in fact, a huge reason why we have the freedoms we enjoy to this day. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

HOROSCOPE BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year you open up to a new opportunity that you might not had dreamed was possible. You will not question the validity of the option; you simply will jump on it. Others find you to be unusually magnetic and creative. You will have your share of admirers. If you are single, enjoy dating, but do not make a commitment until you are absolutely sure that this person is right for you. If you are attached, you will attract a lot of attention this year. Be sure to dote on your sweetie as much as possible. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH Have you burned some bridges lately? You will have an opportunity to mend damaged relationships. Think “long term,” and you

might be more willing to let go of a grievance. When you make the call, expect a shocked response. Tonight: Have a discussion over dinner. TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHH Pace yourself and recognize your limits. You might be prone to being distracted, especially as a sudden insight opens a new door. How you let someone else know that enough is enough could determine the strength of this bond for a while. Tonight: Do something just for you. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHH Others see your mischievous grin. Whether you are in touch with your feelings is another issue altogether. Spending time with a loved one allows more spontaneity and freedom. You will be like two kids playing together in the sandbox. Tonight: Let the good times rock and roll.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHH Your sense of humor emerges, even if you’re just dealing with the family cat. Lighten up the mood, and understand that everyone needs some time off from stress and obligations. In fact, the best solutions often emerge when people are distracted. Tonight: Ever playful. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHH Communication could surprise you. You might understand much more than others do. Move forward with an eye to change.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHHH You’ll smile when faced with an exciting proposition. The issue is not whether you want to make this move, but rather how you will make it. Understanding could evolve to a new level after a serious discussion. Remain confident. Tonight: Others respond to your requests. SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HH You might want to make a change in your day-to-day life. Just understand that the energy needed to make this happen will have to come from within you. Recognize the importance of this decision and the implications involved. Tonight: Head home before

it is too late! SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHH Zero in on what you want. As a sign that is impulsive, you often do just that; however, the effort is not always sustained. If you stay focused, you could make a major change that you have been longing for. A loved one could surprise you. Tonight: In the fun of the moment. CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHH You might be wondering what path would be most effective to take. Let go of your concerns, and simply do what seems natural. You are likely to make the right move as a result. Others will follow you, as they trust your judgment. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHHH You might want to reach

out to someone at a distance. You could be feeling rather crazy for choosing to respond to a friend or loved one who appears to be a bit off the wall. Recognize what is happening with this person. Tonight: Try a new music spot or a new restaurant. PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHHH Pressure builds around spending and obligations. A partner might want to approach finances in a different manner. You know what works for you. Consider having more independence from each other. Tonight: Be a duo. Know that you don’t need to share everything.

A&E Arts Walk provides rich culture 6

Friday October 4, 2013

by jake jarvis correspondent @dailyathenaeum

This weekend marks the 10th annual Arts Walk, celebrating the diverse and vibrant economy of Morgantown’s downtown and Wharf District. Friday from 6-9 p.m. artists from over the state will set up an impromptu gallery in local businesses. Photography, pottery, live performances and arts and crafts are included in the exhibits. Artists, including West Virginia University students, are invited to be a part of this ever-growing event.

Main Street Morgantown, the group putting together this event, has worked out a simple organization technique that takes minimal effort. The Monongalia Arts Center (MAC) and Arts Monongahela are also large supporters of the event. Barbara Watkins, assistant director of Main Street Morgantown, handles most of the organization. “It actually runs very smoothly; it just takes a lot of coordination,” she said. “Over 40 businesses are participating this year. “With more than 75 retailers being a part of Main Street (Morgantown), we see over a 50 percent par-

ticipation rate.” Plenty of people make it out to explore what each venue has to offer. This high participation rate is likely a result of WVU’s Fall Family Weekend falling during the same few days, but Arts Walk has established its own identity over the years. “Last year we had around 4,000 people come out to the walk,” said Jeanne Kuhn of Arts Monongahela. Arts Monongahela, located on corner of High Street and Pleasant Street, is the first stop on the walk. This is the place to go to get a brochure and map to identify the locations of

the exhibits. “This year we will feature an exhibit called ‘SHADY: Our Neighbors the Tree,’” Kuhn said. “It’s put on in conjunction with Morgantown’s Year of the Tree.” This year is the second year that the addition of Art is Food will be taking place. Tickets to Art is Food, which will take place from 5-7 p.m., can be purchased for $15 online at Main Street Morgantown’s website. This ticket allows you access to a buffet-style sampling of downtown and Wharf District restaurants. This will be hosted at the Morgantown Market

Place located at the corner of Fayette and Spruce Streets. Art is Food is made possible by the partnership of the Downtown Morgantown Restaurant Association. Main Street Morgantown created more than 1,300 jobs, aiding in the opening of 200 new businesses and garnering $126 million dollars in investment since the organization’s inception. Events like this boost Morgantown’s already strong economy. According to CNN Money, Morgantown is the 7th best small metropolitan area to open a new business.

People come to see the art, but in the process, they will see parts of downtown they never have before. Later, customers will come back to see more of the retailer after the crowd has died down. Be sure to check out the Arts Walk this weekend, but come with an open mind. Along the way, you might discover more than just art and a cool new shop. “ My favor ite par t was getting to meet so many new people,” said Jacki Marino, a featured photographer. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Mountaineer Idol Gives Back to be held tonight by lacey palmer a&E editor @laceypalmer

Mountaineer Idol Gives Back will be held during tonight’s fourth elimination round of Mountaineer Idol. According to Kelsey Montgomery, Mountaineer Idol head intern, this is the fifth year Mountaineer Idol has held the program. Mountaineer Idol Gives Back is held in coordination with Jessi’s Pals, which aims to collect new stuffed animals for children battling illness or injuries at WVU Children’s Hospital. Jessi’s Pals was originally initiated and inspired by Jessica Lynch, a POW from West Virginia. During her path to recovery in the hospital she received hun-

dreds of stuffed animals wishing her well. “Our primary goal is to give back to WVU Children’s Hospital through our annual event,” Montgomery said. The fundraiser doesn’t only focus on Jessi’s Pals, though. There is also a silent auction to help raise additional funds for the hospital. According to Montgomery, this year’s auction will include tickets to Lakeview Resort’s upcoming Food and Wine festival, autographed Brad Paisley photographs, a $150 gift certificate to the Montmartre restaurant, Kathy Griffin tickets and a clothing item from Coni and Franc. Coca-Cola has also

agreed to donate $5 for every can and bottle recycled at the event. There will be several recycling bins in the Mountainlair Ballrooms during tonight’s event to collect the recyclables. “(In 2012), we raised over $1,700 and took 1,000 stuffed animals to the Children’s Hospital,” Montgomery said. “We hope to break that number this year.” Sonja Wilson, senior programming administrator at the Mountainlair, said she enjoys giving back through the Mountaineer Idol program. “The entire Mountaineer Idol program is aimed at giving back to the community,” Wilson said. “It is even more rewarding to add this component to our

D-Why to visit 123 Pleasant Street by josh ewers a&E writer @dailyathenaeum

D-Why, one of West Virginia’s most electrifying and prominent ambassadors to the world of pop music, will perform tonight at 123 Pleasant Street with an ensemble of ascending talented artists. D-Why is an artist who truly stands alone in a genre filled with imitations. The music industry maverick, whose real name is David Morris, has been making music since 2005 and graduated from West Virginia University in 2009. His energetic music is primarily rooted in the most relevant and up-to-the-minute pop and hip-hop, but he delivers it with such a sincere swagger and indie edge that the result is something entirely unexpected. D-Why is versatile and exudes confidence in his craft. He boasts a host of club and “sing-along in the car on the way to the club” anthems that are catchy on the level of a multi-platinum selling artist. He raps with a paced and articulate flow, but he can slow things down, sing a pop chorus, or croon a ballad with ease.

With a voice like Adam Levine of Maroon 5 and a super sleek and stylish new-age hipster style, D-Why is likely trending way upwward. Out of the sugar-coated dance beats and a slew of heavier snare-abusing rap drum patterns comes the voice of one of West Virginia’s great hopes for relevancy on the national pop stage. Also performing this evening are DJ Etrayn, Futuristic, Quence and Ponce De’Leioun. DJ Etrayn is a Cincinnati native whose mixing and mic skills have been evidenced by playing sets with some of the biggest names in the industry, including Usher’s Super Bowl after-party. Etrayn has plenty of side gigs; hosting a 13-week concert series in his home city and DJing for “The Drive at Five” on Cincy’s biggest hip-hop station goes to show that he is the real deal. Equally impressive is Futuristic. He’s a veritable nitrous oxide-filled tuner car on the mic. The Mesa, Ariz, resident takes off on tracks, but maintains cool and in control rhythmically. At only 21, his work ethic is already paying off, as his career has taken flight.

Ponce De’ Leioun is a similarly minded artist. Although he’s quite a bit further from Hollywood geographically speaking, the current Morgantown resident hopes to take his modern rap sound to the top by producing lyrics and content that are honest. He’s not small time by any means, having spent time overseas in London. Additionally, he might have the most polished flow of anyone on this bill. Last but not least is Quence – an artist, engineer and producer hailing from Charleston, W.Va. Quence has been writing music since he was in elementary school. Quence’s accomplishments include working with Atlanta video producer Jack Jeffery, who has worked with Soulja Boi. Anyone who wants their weekend started off right should consider checking out 123 for a dose of pop and hip-hop that is sure to leave the audience buzzing. Doors open at 8 p.m, and the show gets underway at 9 p.m. Tickets for this event can be purchased online at 123Pleasantstreet.com for $15 ahead of show time. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

SPORTS

FRIDAY OCTOBER 4, 2013

KEVIN HOOKER SPORTS WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

Holgorsen should put an end to quarterback competition Through their first five games, the West Virginia football team had three starting quarterbacks. Paul Millard came into the season as the starter, but head coach Dana Holgorsen gave him a very tight leash. He was pulled after throwing for 466 yards, a touchdown and an interception through the first two games. Ford Childress had a promising Week 3 start against Georgia State, throwing for 359 yards and three touchdowns. Those numbers are the highest among the quarterbacks the Panthers have faced this season. His Week 4 performance was a complete 180-degree turn, as Childress threw for just 62 yards and two interceptions in the team’s 37-0 blowout loss. As it turns out, however, Childress tore his right pectoral muscle in the first quarter of the game, which perhaps explained his poor performance. In Week 5, Clint Trickett replaced the injured Childress and knocked off No. 11 Oklahoma State in his Mountaineer debut. Although shaky at times, he threw for 309 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions. The Trickett-led offense scored 30 points in the victory against a Cowboy defense that sacrificed a combined 41 points in their previous three games. With the exception of Saturday, the West Virginia offense hasn’t fully clicked this season, and part of the blame falls on a lack of chemistry. With three different quarterbacks throughout a five-week span, how can this offense be expected to click? Quarterbacks need to have a certain type of relationship with their receivers, and that relationship is lost if the team takes on new personnel every two weeks. While he’s certainly no Geno Smith, Holgorsen should name Trickett the Mountaineers’ starting quarterback for the foreseeable future and end the ongoing controversy. He played in 16 games as a Seminole, making him the most experienced quarterback on this young roster. Trickett was taking first team repetitions in the summer, so it’s obvious this Mountaineer team had a plan for him all along. It was just a matter of figuring out the X’s and O’s of the Mountaineer offense and transitioning from the spread offense he played at Florida State for two years. By starting him Saturday, it shows that Holgorsen and staff like the strides he’s made. “(When I was) Talking to Clint, the one thing that was holding him back was learning,” said offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson. “It’s not his fault. He’s learning a new system; he’s learning to play for new coaches. Our comfort level isn’t great yet, but it’s getting better.” While at Florida State, quarterback E.J. Manuel led the team to consecutive bowl games and compiled a 19-4 record. While Trickett only started two games during his FSU career, he’s been around a winning culture for quite

West Virginia looks to keep up with high-flying offense of No. 17 Baylor Bears by amit batra sports editor @batra01

Following one of the biggest upsets in recent years, the West Virginia football team travels to Waco, Texas, to take on the No. 17 Baylor Bears Saturday night. The Mountaineers (3-2, 1-1 Big 12) come into the game against the Bears with momentum, following a major upset victory against then-No. 11 Oklahoma State. However, Baylor (3-0, 0-0) will be wellrested after playing only one game in 27 days. BU will pose a new offensive challenge the Mountaineers have not seen in five games. “It’s pretty impressive what they’re doing,” said WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen. “They’re (the) No. 1 scoring offense in the country and No. 1 in a lot of other things. They’re av-

eraging 750 yards and 70 points. They’ve won seven games in a row and did it pretty impressively toward the end of the year with some pretty big wins. “They’re going to be confident and ready to go. They’re coming off a bye week, and they’re fresh and energetic. It will be a very dynamic place to play Saturday night.” The Mountaineers realize the challenge Baylor’s offense will bring. Currently, the Bears are No. 1 in passing yards, No. 1 in points and No. 5 in rushing yards. Despite belowaverage competition in three games, sixth-year BU head coach Art Briles prepared his team well up to this point in the season. Defensively, BU showed much improvement, as it is No. 2 in points against. The most points Baylor gave up in the 2013 season is 13. West Virginia will need to continue its solid de-

fense play to match a highoctane and potent Baylor offense. “It makes us realize we have to get a lot more pressure than in previous weeks,” said senior defensive lineman Shaq Rowell. “If we don’t, it’ll just be a rerun of (2012). They have a great scheme. We can’t pick up what they’re doing compared to all the other Big 12 teams. It looks the same, but it isn’t. “Their tempo is different, and their players are different. I think they are the fastest team, not just in tempo, but all around the board: from the offensive line, to the quarterback, to the receivers. These guys are well coached.” Junior first-year starting Baylor quarterback Bryce Petty looked sharp in the Bears’ three games in 2013. His completion rate is about 75 percent, and he’s thrown eight touchdown passes with zero

WOMEN’S SOCCER

WVU looks to extend win streak to five against Texas at home by meghan carr sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The No. 10 West Virginia women’s soccer team enters a four-game homestand beginning with their Big 12 Conference opener against Texas tonight at 7 at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium. Mountaineer players and coaches agreed tonight’s game is a big one. “Texas is 2-0 right now and they’re very good, better than they were (in 2012), and Angela (Kelly) is a very good coach and has some great players so we know it’s going to be a battle (tonight).

Wow, is it going to be a battle (tonight),” said head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown. In 2012, the Texas game sealed the regular season championship for the Mountaineers, and the Longhorns aren’t taking any chances this year. They chartered in a day earlier than expected. “Texas is chartering in a day early. They know how big of a game this is, and they are going to be prepared. Every game in the Big 12, there’s a championship on the line, and we understand that and I know Texas understands that, or they wouldn’t have chartered in. So this is going to be a huge game, and

I think if I’m a fan, this is going to be a heck of a game to watch tonight,” Izzo-Brown said. Sophomore defender Cari Price said the Texas players chartering in a day early shows how much they respect them and know this is not going to be an easy game. “Any time you play a ranked team, you have something to take from them so they’re probably going to come out hard, but we’ll be coming back at them just as hard,” Price said. Both WVU and Texas are

interceptions. Petty will look for senior wide receiver Tevin Reese and junior receiver Antwan Goodley to continue their steady production Saturday night. Reese comes into the conference game with 15 receptions for 350 yards and three touchdowns, while Goodley has 14 receptions for 370 yards and four touchdown grabs. Baylor will also be balanced on the ground. Junior running back and Heisman contender Lache Seastrunk rushed for 417 yards and six touchdowns. He’s run for 111, 150 and 156 yards, respectively, in Baylor’s three victories. Seastrunk and Briles both alluded to the amount of respect the team has for West Virginia going into this conference duel. Briles treats WVU as a threat

coming off such a big victory against the Cowboys. “We’re certainly ready to go, and we certainly have a lot of respect for West Virginia,” he said. “They’re an extremely talented football team that seems to be playing really well, especially coming off last week. If you look at the two losses they have against Oklahoma and Maryland, those are two undefeated football teams and both games were on the road. “Oklahoma State came into their place, hadn’t been there since 1928 and West Virginia does a great job of putting on a home crowd and a home environment and did a great job of protecting their house. They really played well Saturday on both sides of the ball.” amit.batra@mail.wvu.edu

VOLLEYBALL

WVU travels to Texas Tech following loss at TCU by jon fehrens sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia volleyball team will continue their six-day road trip by traveling to Lubbock, Texas, to take on Texas Tech Saturday in the United Spirit Arena. The Mountaineers dropped their first round Big 12 Conference match to TCU in four sets Wednesday night and are now 0-4 all-time against the Horned Frogs. Despite the loss, head coach Jill Kramer said she expects her team to rebound with more passion for their match against the Red Raiders. “It was the little things we messed up with TCU. I

expect our team to come out more hungry against Texas Tech and be a little angry that we dropped a match we could have won,” Kramer said. Texas Tech comes into Saturday’s match after dropping its Big 12 home opener to No. 25 Iowa State Wednesday. The Red Raiders posted their lowest hitting percentage of the season (a .039 average) but still managed to put up solid offensive numbers. WVU had several players who put up impressive numbers. Sophomore outside hitter Nikki Attea recorded 12 blocks and five digs; Attea’s fellow outside hitter, sophomore Hannah Sackett posted 10 kills; and junior

middle blocker Evyn McCoy ended her night with 11 kills, four digs, and 10 block assists. Sophomore setter Brittany Sample managed to shake off a slow start and finished her night with a teamhigh 33 assists. Wednesday’s match also saw the return of standout freshman outside hitter Jordan Anderson. Anderson saw her first action in more than a month against the Horned Frogs, and despite playing limited minutes, she managed to contribute two kills and one block. Anderson may see more minutes Saturday. While WVU may see the return of the team’s leader in kills, it will have to find a way to work

around a potent Texas Tech offense. The Red Raiders had six different players record 100 kills in the 2012 season– the first time since 2001. The offense is led by junior outside hitter Breeann David and senior middle Aubree Piper, who racked up 177 kills together. David led Texas Tech with eight kills in the loss against Iowa State, while Piper chipped in six. In the days leading up to the match, Kramer and her squad have been preparing by practicing in the Red Raiders recreational facility. Saturday’s match is set to begin at 2 p.m. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

WOMEN’S TENNIS

Mountaineers to face stiff competition in Akron this weekend by anthony pecoraro sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia women’s tennis team will travel to the University of Akron for the three-day Akron Invite tournament Oct. 4-6. “We are excited to continue our tournament play this weekend at Akron with a strong tournament featuring Akron, Ohio State, Cornell and us,” said head coach Miha Lisac. The Mountaineers concluded their first tourna-

ment of the season Sept. 27-29 at the USAFA Invitational at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado. Lisac said he saw some things he liked and some things that needed improvement. “I thought it was as expected. I thought we saw some good things, and I thought we saw some things that we need to continue working on,” he said. The Mountaineers will open up tournament play today at noon against Cornell in doubles. West Virginia will close out the

opening day in singles play against Akron. On Day 2 of the tournament, the Mountaineers will encounter Ohio State beginning at 9 a.m. in singles and come back in the afternoon for doubles play against Akron. WVU is scheduled for singles play against Cornell Sunday at 9 a.m. and will close out the tournament against the Buckeyes in doubles play. As WVU continues to progress in the season, Lisac said he knows to go into each tournament with the same mentality,

knowing that everything done day-in and day-out is a process. “This is the mentality we’ll be taking to all the tournaments in the fall semester and into matches in the spring semester, as well. We’re a very young team, and we have a lot to learn, so the only way to make progress in the process is to continue to focus on getting better,” he said. Sophomore Hailey Barrett, who won a duo of singles matches at the USAFA Invitational, said she feels good about the direction the team is taking.

“We had some good wins, and I think everyone definitely learned something from their matches. Hopefully we can use that to go into this weekend and do well again,” she said. Barrett and doubles partner Ikttesh Chahal finished third during Sept. 27-29. Both being veterans on the team, they know what Lisac is looking for out of each player. “To him right now, it’s not about the wins or losses; it’s more about how we go out there and perform, act and compete.

Everyone has been focusing on that. Last weekend we were good in some areas, but I think this weekend he expects us to be even better than last weekend,” Chahal said. The Akron competition will focus on another step toward going in the right direction. “Our team is continuing to focus on improvement and getting better. This weekend will be a good test for our players and for us as a team,” Lisac said. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

rifle

No. 1 West Virginia opens season against Ohio State by meghan carr sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia rifle team begins their 2013 season against Ohio State Saturday in Morgantown. “We’re excited to finally get it underway. You come back in the fall and start practicing, but it’s a while before you get that first match. So I think they’re definitely ready to start shooting in a match atmosphere,” said head coach Jon Hammond. The Buckeyes are a familiar face for the Mountaineers, who have gotten the best of the Buckeyes in past years. “They do have a new coach who’s in his second year, and I think he’s definitely going to change that program around a little bit. They’ve picked up some good recruits this

year, and they recruit in the same area as we do. So many of our players know their players, and it’s good to see a familiar face this early in the season,” Hammond said. The defending 2012 national champions, led by junior Taylor Ciotola, have nine returning marksmen and one newcomer. “We’ve really got the whole core, besides Petra (Zublasing) coming back. We’ve got a lot of experience; a lot of them are juniors this year and two seniors, so they’ve been here for a while,” Hammond said. “So absolutely this team has a lot of experience. While we’ll miss Petra, it’s going to be a team effort this year, and if they work hard as a team we can still be as good as we were last year.” Although Hammond

said he believes his team has the experience, he said they have to keep improving. “I don’t think we are going to necessarily be at our peak, but that’s not our goal right now. It’s about getting better match experience and practice and getting back into the season,” he said. The Mountaineers lost Petra Zublasing, who helped lead the Mountaineers to its nation-best 15 national championships. Zublasing also won the 2013 NCAA smallbore and air rifle individual titles. “She definitely was our top scorer and someone that you don’t really want to lose,” said junior Thomas Kyanko. “But at the same time we are still experienced, and we have a lot of depth. “The majority of our

team is now upperclassmen, which was the opposite when she came on; now everyone has matured and developed over the past couple of years. It’s sad to lose her, but I think we’ll be okay.” The Mountaineers were No. 1 in the preseason rankings. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

ROWING

Tigers, A’s set for playoff rematch WVU ready for Head OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Josh Donaldson mimics Miguel Cabrera whenever he can, and he has no problem copping to it. Donaldson spent a couple of days each week over the offseason studying tape of Detroit’s star in the batter’s box, trying to pick up on anything he could apply to his own hitting for Oakland. Indeed, Donaldson learned a thing or two that worked on the way to a breakout season: .301 batting average, 24 home runs, 93 RBIs in 158 games for the AL West champion Athletics. “JD’s the MVP of our team and Miguel Cabrera is the MVP of baseball,” A’s first baseman Brandon Moss said. These two talented third basemen will face off in the playoffs for the second

straight October starting with Game 1 of the AL division series Friday night. One is a household name, 2012 Triple Crown winner and widely considered the best hitter in baseball. The other is more anonymous up-and-comer whose spectacular September in his first full major league season earned him AL player of the month honors. Cabrera is making $21 million this season, Donaldson a mere $492,500. “I’ve watched his videos a lot as far as a hitter,” Donaldson said. “He’s a highly talented hitter, and I really appreciate the way he goes about hitting and I try to learn from him at what he’s doing. I feel he’s one of the best hitters in the game that goes to right field, and what’s helped me be able to take it to the next

level this year is the ability to be able to hit it to right field. Watching him over the course of time has definitely helped me.” Cabrera was pleased to hear that Donaldson had studied his tape. “Oh, that’s great. That’s awesome,” Cabrera said. “He’s a great player. He’s one of the reasons the Oakland A’s are in the playoffs. He brings a lot of energy to their ballclub. I think you’ll see he can change the game with his bat but his glove, too.” And to think Donaldson had prepared to play catcher until he was called upon to fill in at third when Scott Sizemore went down with a season-ending knee injury at the start of spring training 2012. Aside from much focus at third base, the rematch of last fall’s first-round se-

ries takes on a far different look this time around. Cabrera, Prince Fielder and the Tigers have something to prove after being swept by San Francisco in last year’s World Series, while the A’s were hardly a surprise division champion this time and know how close they were to beating the Tigers and reaching the ALCS. Max Scherzer (21-3) gets the ball opposite Oakland 18-game winner Bartolo Colon for the opener. Tigers manager Jim Leyland is going with Justin Verlander in Saturday’s Game 2 against rookie Sonny Gray. Verlander beat the A’s in Games 1 and 5 last year. That’s still plenty fresh for both sides, but so is the A’s late August visit to Comerica Park in which they took three of four on Detroit’s home field.

of the Ohio regatta by anthony pecoraro sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia rowing team will be competing in their first tournament Saturday in the Head of the Ohio regatta. Head coach Jimmy King and his team will be making the trip to Pittsburgh for the highly competitive regatta. The 27th annual HOTO Regatta will be hosted by the Three Rivers Rowing Association and will feature more than 2,000 athletes. The Mountaineers will be racing Open 1x, Open 2x (2), Open 8+ (3) and Open 4+ (4). “The Head of the Ohio occurs very early in the season for us; we’ve only been on the water for two weeks so it serves as a starting point of sorts for the year ahead,” King said. With WVU only beginning their practices a couple of weeks ago, King and his squad are focused on one thing going into the weekend’s race: progress. “We’ll work to see notable progress in technique, mindset and of course speed from race to race,” he said. “We’ll face significant competition at the last race of the fall season, so we’ll definitely be looking for more than just progress;

Mountaineers to compete in Paul Short Run Saturday sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The No. 28 West Virginia cross country team will finally get back on the course Saturday after a month of no competition. Head coach Sean Cleary and his squad are set to compete in the Paul Short Run held in Bethlehem, Pa., on the Goodman Cross Country Course. This will be the first time in four years the Mountaineers have competed in the event. The run is named after Lehigh University Hall of Famer inductee Paul Short, who was an avid supporter of the running community at his alma mater, and will showcase some of the best cross country talent in the nation. WVU is scheduled to compete in the Gold Race along with Alabama, Penn State and Georgetown. Even with the stiff competition the cross country team will face Saturday, they have the advantage of already experiencing the cross Lehigh has to offer.

we’ll be looking for results.” However, until the last race at the Rivanna Romp, King said he keeps reminding himself where they are as a team right now and where they will be heading. “I’ve already reminded myself and the team about where we started last fall and where we ended up last spring in that regard, but it’s all good. Everyone is working to make improvements, and we’ll see notable improvements as we progress through the fall,” he said. WVU knows with so many athletes and schools competing, the goal is not to win but to improve in all aspects. King stressed the importance of carrying over what they’ve been doing in practice in the Monongahela River and bringing it to the Ohio and Allegheny Rivers Saturday. “The regatta is a bit less about expectations and more about discovery – discovery of our areas of strength, areas of weakness and about our team depth,” he said. Races on the 2.6-mile course will begin at 7:30 a.m. Saturday and last all day. The Mountaineers will be competing in races in the early morning as well as late in the afternoon.

Now the cross country team returns to Bethlehem with hopes to improve their finish and times. “We will return to this course in early October and should be significantly faster,” Cleary said after the first race at Lehigh. Saturday’s race time is slated for 2 p.m., barring no weather delays. The Paul Short Run will serve as the last “preseason” race for Cleary’s team.
