Then and now: Mountaineers’ response to 9/11BY ALAYNA FULLER, GABRIELLA

BROWN AND JHARAD LESTERNEWS EDITOR, ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR AND

CORRESPONDENT

On Sept. 11, 2001, WVU stu-dents gathered around televisions in the Mountainlair to witness the horrifi c events that unfolded.

As tragedy struck, dormito-ries throughout WVU’s campus heightened security, counseling areas were pitched and students rushed to aid victims of the attack in any way possible.

“I walked into the Mountain-lair after class, and I saw every-one gathered around the infor-mation desk television set,” said student Stacy Stewart in the Sept. 12, 2001, Daily Athenaeum publi-cation. “I could not believe what was happening.”

Despite fear and despair loom-ing over campus, students lined up outside Boreman Hall to join a line that moved for more than four hours to donate blood to contribute to those who fell vic-tim to the attacks.

“We obviously weren’t pre-pared for this,” said Suzan Clem-ens, fi eld representative for Amer-ican Red Cross, in the Sept. 12, 2001, publication. “Th e Univer-sity really jumped in.”

One student, hearing the news about 9/11 for the fi rst time, said,

“Wow.”“My roommate’s family is from

New York, so I tried to get a hold of them for him, but all the phone lines were busy,” said Randy Hill, the student.

While thousands of Mountain-eers were left shocked and con-fused, not all were safe at home.

Tom Witt, WVU associate dean, found himself in Manhattan on the day the towers collapsed.

Witt was at a breakfast meet-ing with colleagues in a Marriott hotel located between towers one and two of the World Trade Cen-ter complex when the planes hit.

“We saw one tower go down to the street and then the second tower,” Witt said in the Sept. 12, 2001, Daily Athenaeum. “We im-mediately knew the World Trade Center Marriott Hotel where we were having our conference was probably no longer there.”

After 9/11, the Carruth Center off ered counseling for students to express their feelings; it even of-fered its services in the Mountain-lair and Lyon Tower.

Eighteen years later, stu-dents banded together again in remembrance.

On Tuesday night, the WVU Young Americans for Freedom organization and the WVU Col-lege Republicans held the “9/11 Never Forget Project” at Wood-burn Circle. Members planted American fl ags to honor the lives

lost on Sept. 11, 2001.“We’re planting the fl ags so

they’ll be up all day tomorrow, so as people walk by they’ll re-member the lives that were taken in the 9/11 attacks,” said Kathryn Brooks, founder and vice chair of WVU YAF.

Jaron Bragg, YAF’s chair, said not enough people remember the impact of 9/11.

“It’s crazy that 18 years ago, we lost 2,977 people and many peo-ple seem to forget about that,” he said. “Th is is to remember the vic-tims and the lives they gave for our country.”

“It would be nice to see more things like this,” he said. “It’s very nonpartisan. We are just out here remembering Americans who lost their lives, and, to me, there is nothing political about it.”

Alongside many YAF members were members of the WVU Col-lege Republicans.

“I don’t think this boils down to left versus right,” said Jil-lian Kinder, a senior and former WVUCR chairperson. “It boils down to patriotism, the love for our country and being proud of our country.”

On Wednesday, WVU ROTC cadets stood guard over a 9/11 memorial wreath outside of the downtown campus library. Every year on 9/11, cadets rotate shifts, guarding the wreath for 24 hours.

Feline Veterinary Care of Morgantown is the fi rst and only feline-focused practice in West Virginia and off ers a range of specialized tech-niques to eliminate anxiety for cats in the clinic.

“In general, most small an-imal clinics practice on both cats and dogs, and a lot of vet-erinary medicine is dog-fo-cused fi rst and cat second,” said Dr. Bryce Gilson, a vet-erinarian at the clinic. “I am the only doctor right now that is here full time, so I don’t see dogs at all. Th is allows me to give a deeper, more con-ditioned practice towards felines.”

The clinic is currently working on becoming fe-l ine-fr iendly certi f ied, which is a program through the American Associa-tion of Feline Practitioners. Th e Feline Association has feline-friendly handling tech-niques that all of the techni-cians at the clinic are trained in.

“The staff here are very used to cats, we get plenty of nice kitties, but plenty of more diffi cult patients that they are used to handling,” Gilson said. “I feel we are able to do more with those [more diffi cult] cats in general, than maybe a lot of other places. Ultimately, sometimes you do have to use medications to calm them down, but we try to avoid that here.”

One traditional method to handle cats is to scruff them, or to fi rmly grip them by the loose skin on the back of their neck to cause a freeze response. While the response works, it does so because the cat is scared and will not help with the next visit, according to Gilson.

“It is about minimal re-straint and a lot of times we are just placing our hands gently on the back of their neck,” Gilson said. “When I am examining them, I will tell my technicians, ‘You don’t need to hold them still, let them walk. I can move with them.’”

However, with feline prac-tice, not only is it about han-dling or knowledge base, but it’s also important to keep the environment in mind, said Gilson.

“In our waiting room, it is peaceful and quiet,” said Dr. Jesse Fallon, veterinarian at Feline Veterinary Care of Morgantown.

One of the main contribu-tors to a cat’s anxiety at the vet is barking dogs and dog smell, said both Gilson and Fallon.

“Even over at Cheat Lake [Animal Hospital], when I worked there for a little bit, owners would give their cats medication to calm them, and they would be just fi ne in the car but as soon as they heard a barking dog it took away the eff ect, so that’s huge,” Gilson said.

When you walk into the Feline Veterinary Care of Morgantown, every room is painted a light color and lap-tops are stationed in each

exam room to play piano mu-sic to lower stress in the cats.

“Th ey have done studies with animals and pastels are more appealing; they are less harsh to them,” Gilson said. “Having surfaces for them to jump on or hide underneath additionally in the exam rooms is nice.”

Th e Feline Veterinary Care of Morgantown is a partner organization to the Cheat Lake Animal Hospital and is located in Sabraton at1821 St-urgiss Ave.

“We’d love to have resi-dents come out and see what our clinic has to off er,” Fallon said. “It’s a facility that our area needed dearly.”

WVU has undergone quite a few changes this year, in-cluding the LGBTQ+ Centers’ move from Hodges Hall to Ma-ple House back in February.

“We really liked Hodges for its convenience to the PRT, but Maple House is a beautiful lo-cation, with multiple rooms for meetings, drinkable water and a usable kitchen.” said Cris Mayo, LGBTQ+ Center direc-tor. “It’s nice to come down the stairs from our offi ces and see students doing group study sessions in the living room, community-building projects in the dining room and some-times working on craft proj-ects in the basement.”

The LGBTQ+ Center is available to all WVU students, faculty and staff , providing a safe space that off ers inclusive programming and outreach initiatives.

Even early on in the se-mester, the center has many programs and initiatives underway.

“So far, we’ve had pan-

els like Black LGBTQ+ Issues on Campus, video showings, a Conversations with Cops event where we trained one another on issues import-ant to each, a pre-graduation picnic for LGBTQ+ and ally alumni, friends, and family and a ‘Welcome Back’ party that had more than 170 peo-ple coming over to learn about campus and community orga-nizations where everyone met new friends and enjoyed re-freshments,” Mayo said.

Several other events are coming up on campus, includ-ing ‘Learn from Queens: Di-versity and Drag,’ which will be held on Sept. 19 from 6-8 p.m. in the Gluck Th eater.

“We’ll be discussing diverse histories of drag, including vaudeville, Harlem Ball cul-ture and more recent drag pro-ductions in popular culture,” Mayo said. “Our point is to highlight what we learn about drag, race and gender, while also having local queens come

to do their performances.”Th ose who attend the up-

coming event can expect to learn more about the history and interact with members of the drag community.

“Th e night will start with a mini-lecture on drag history, then move to great perfor-mances to highlight our com-munity’s talent, with an op-portunity to do a question and

answer with such local nota-bles as Robin Hearts Love.”

Members of Morgantown’s LGBTQ+ community gathered on Wilson Street in South Park for the unveiling of a new rain-bow Pride crosswalk at a rib-bon-cutting ceremony on Wednesday.

While it took fi ve months to plan the crosswalk before the brushes hit the pavement, Morgantown Pride President Ash Cutright said it was worth it.

“I’m super excited,” Cu-tright said. “We knew that we were getting the sidewalk, but we didn’t know when it was being installed. Th ere’s a lot of queer people that live in South Park, so why not have it here, where all the amazing queer people live?”

Cutright said Morgantown Pride is not stopping with one crosswalk.

“We’re hoping that we can maybe go move some cross-walks into downtown, maybe

into Suncrest. Our ultimate goal is maybe one a year, [if ] we just keep spreading it around,” Cutright said.

Mayor Bill Kawecki also spoke at the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

“Th is is something that you, this community, caused to happen. I’m happy today that Morgantown has made this occur,” he said.

University remembers 9/11

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 20196Staff Contributionsdanewsroom@mail.wvu.eduOPINION

Th is is an editorial, published on Sept. 12, 2001, written by the Daily Athenaeum. Most of our current newsroom cannot remember 9/11 – some working here were even born after the horrifi c events. Yet, reading this ed-itorial shows the fear and uncertainty of those times, while also showing the unity that followed the calamity. You can read more about how the University community responded to 9/11 with the article starting on the fi rst page.

Never forget.

Around the country and the world, tears were shed for the thousands of victims caught in acts of violence and hate.

However, the drops that fell from many of our eyes were most likely not enough to comfort the uncalculated numbers of dead.

As one television reporter was told by emergency rescue offi cials, there was no way to calculate the number of dead because there were bodies everywhere – bodies they even had to drive over in order to help those who had a chance.

Each time our televisions yielded one more recap of the day’s events – each time we saw the planes crash into the World Trade Center, each time we shuddered at the sight of desperate victims jumping from their offi ces, each time we heard the wail of sirens in the background of news broad-casts – the tears cried again still weren’t enough to calm those left won-dering if their loved ones were still alive.

Perhaps the disbelief in Tuesday’s horrifi c events were the only thing we could believe.

But today, we all have to believe that life does go on and that damages can be repaired.

Th ough the road to recovery won’t be an easily accessible one, espe-cially for those who have lost friends and family, it can be done together.

Th e community of West Virginia University can play its part in this rep-aration by off ering support and condolences to those who have lost loved ones in the tragedies of Sept. 11, 2001.

As we were all scarred in some way by witnessing Tuesday’s events, we must remember those who were hurt even deeper than us with their losses.

And though the urge to blame and attack those whom may be responsi-ble for Tuesday’s terrible chain of events, the University community must also remember that hasty reaction is no way to act upon an already con-fusing and unbelievable event.

Because then, only more tears might be shed.

BY CODY NESPOR ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR

Sports are a large part of the culture and identity at WVU and all throughout West Virginia.

Many in the state identify as a Mountaineer fan, regardless of whether they attended the Uni-versity or not. When Milan Pus-kar Stadium fi lls up for football games, there is no other sight in the state like it.Without any professional sports teams or any other power fi ve division one universities, WVU’s programs are the only big home teams that a lot of people in the state can cheer for.

For one weekend in 2001, however, WVU athletics was the farthest thing from any-one’s mind.

The 9/11 terrorist attacks brought the entire nation to a standstill.

Like so many others, WVU al-most immediately canceled all athletic events, out of a combi-nation of respect for the victims and concerns over security.

The sports editor for the Daily Athenaeum at the time was Colby McCarren. Over di-rect message, McCarren said sports were the last things on people’s minds following the attacks.

“Th e plane that crashed in Shanksville was also a reality check because of its proximity to Morgantown. I remember there being a sense of unity in the days afterward,” McCarren said. “Sports had really been put on the back burner by everyone. It was strange to cancel games, but it was also the obvious right thing to do. All major sporting events were all of a sudden po-tential targets so walking into stadiums or watching on televi-

sion had an extra layer of appre-hension and tension.”

Two women’s soccer matches, a men’s soccer game, a tennis invitational, a volleyball match and a cross country race were all canceled or postponed in response. Th e biggest cancel-ation was that of WVU’s football game at the University of Mary-land scheduled for that Satur-day, Sept. 15.

Ed Pastilong, WVU’s ath-letic director at the time, said in a press release that WVU and Maryland came to a mu-tual agreement to postpone the contest until Sept. 29.

“Out of respect for those af-fected by these enormous trag-edies and out of concern for the members of our teams, all Big East schools have de-cided to suspend competi-tion through the weekend, and we wholeheartedly support

that,” Pastilong wrote. “Th is is a time to focus on our nation as Americans.”

Th e Big East, WVU’s confer-ence at the time, commissioner, Michael Tranghese, echoed this sentiment.

Tranghese was quoted in the Sept.13, 2001 edition of the Daily Athenaeum as say-ing, “Th e overwhelming feeling throughout our institutions is that we must move on with our lives and terrorist actions will not stop us from doing that. But the suspension of league com-petition through the weekend allows us an appropriate period of refl ection and mourning.”

Th e days and weeks follow-ing the 9/11 attacks were any-thing but normal for all Amer-icans, and the cancellation of sporting events hammered home the abnormality of it all. There was hope that, when

sports did come back, then so-ciety could return to some sem-blance of normalcy.

In a column in the Sept. 13, 2001 edition of the Daily Ath-enaeum, Associate Sports Ed-itor Matt Gatewood wrote the following, “Whenever compe-titions are returned, however, they will provide a forum for people to attempt to get back to their everyday lives. If only for a few hours, the competitions can keep the fans’ minds occupied and away from Tuesday’s Hor-rors...Not that attending and watching sporting events will ever soothe any pain, but it can provide some short-term relief.”

WVU athletics eventually did come back. A 31-14 victory over Kent State at home the fol-lowing week and the make-up against Maryland on Sept. 29 brought WVU football back into people’s lives and brought back

the routines of life.McCarren, however, said it

was never quite the same feel-ing as before.

“Th ere was a sense of nor-malcy, but it was diff erent than it had been before,” McCarren said. “Th ere was a sense of com-munity that would probably be inconceivable in today’s hy-per-partisan environment. We may have sensed it at the time, but nothing would ever be the same.”

McCarren said, even today, sporting events feel diff erent to him.

“It’s never been the same,” McCarren said. “In that sense the attacks were tremendously successful. No normal person could experience 9/11 and then walk into a stadium of 60k+ peo-ple with the same confi dence as they had on September 10th 2001.”

Th e weekend WVU sports didn’t matter

BY CODY NESPOR ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR

After interference from Hurricane Florence prompted a cancelation last year, the West Virginia Mountaineers and NC State Wolfpack will play this Saturday for the fi rst time since 2010.

Last season’s would-be game could have played a key role for both teams, as both were experiencing consec-utive successful season and were armed with talented, experienced off enses. Safety concerns stemming from Flor-ence put the game on hold and no makeup date was ever announced.

Now in 2019, the matchup has lost a bit of its luster. Both teams lost multiple starters

on their aforementioned of-fenses, and both are expected to be in rebuilding mode this season.

Like WVU, NC State is sporting a new starting quar-terback, new starting receiv-ers, two new running backs and three new starting off en-sive linemen. Unlike West Vir-ginia, the Wolfpack’s new-look off ense has been explosive to start the season.

Th rough its fi rst two games this season, NC State has run roughshod over its home state, defeating East Carolina and Western Carolina by a com-bined score of 75-6. Every-thing WVU has struggled with to start the season, the Wolf-pack has excelled at.

As a team, the Mountain-eers have put up 64 total rush-ing yards while NC State has three players over that thresh-old themselves, including two true freshmen. Freshman Zo-novan Knight has led the charge, with 161 rushing yards and three touchdowns. Fellow freshman Jordan Houston has 108 rushing yards and sopho-more Ricky Person Jr. has 71, both with one touchdown.

WVU’s biggest struggles this season have come along the off ensive line, but Brown said everyone is equally to blame for the running game’s struggles.

“Our running backs, our

tight ends and our wide re-ceivers have every bit the is-sue as the O-line in the run game,” Brown said. “We have not blocked well, we have not run the ball hard, we have not been physical on the edge so that’s all involved with the run game.”

Th e WVU off ensive line has also allowed four sacks. First year NC State starter Mathew McKay has been brought down only once, while throw-ing for 508 yards and totaling four scores. Th e Wolfpack as a team has yet to turn the foot-ball over as well.

Things do not get easier against NC State on the de-fensive side of the ball either. Opponents are averaging only 187.5 yards per game and Wolfpack has allowed only two

redzone trips and zero touch-downs on the year.

Brown said beyond the specifics of each opponent the team faces there are four things his football team will continue to work at.

“Here’s the non-negotia-bles; we’re going to play hard, which I think we did an OK job of that. We’re going to do what we’re coached to do, which I didn’t think we did a very good job of that. We’re going to be a tougher football team, which I think we did a very poor job of that. And we’re going to be invested in what we’re doing, which I think we’ve been av-erage at that.”

Kickoff from Milan Puskar Stadium will come at noon on Saturday. Th e game can be watched on Fox Sports 1.
