we could screw up and get embarrassed and so my nerves just went sky high, and I was like ‘Okay Shelby, don’t mess up.’ I just blurted out the answer, what I thought it was and luckily I got to win the prize, which was cool.

THE BATTALION: What were the host and the crowds’ response in that moment?

EDMISTON:Everyone was silent, like you could hear a pin drop. After it happened, Pat Sajak was trying to alleviate the pressure, like make jokes, but the whole crowd was silent and they cut to a commercial and you still — during the commercial no one talked. It was just completely silent.

THE BATTALION: What was going through your mind when Julian Batts mispronounced “Achilles” on the show?

EDMISTON: I kind of was in shock because once all the letters went up, and I thought the puzzle was over and he had to pronounce it right and he didn’t. So once he mispronounced it, I got so much more nervous because I realized

Allison Rubenak, lifestyles desk editor, sat down with Shelby Edmiston, sophomore industrial distribution major, who won second place on the College Wheel of Fortune in an episode aired April 11. She is the subject of a popular video clip where one of the other contestants mispronounced the final answer.

The Texas A&M Aggies start-ed their four-game home

stand at Olsen Field with a 20-2 victory over the Abilene Chris-tian Wildcats.

Corey Ray improved his re-cord to 3-0 during his 10th ap-pearance and first start of the year on Wednesday night. The junior worked the Wildcat lineup for five shutout innings, allowing just four hits in the process. Ray struck out five and walked one.

On the offensive side, the Aggies started their 22-hit per-formance early, scoring runs in each of the first five innings, in-cluding home runs from Logan Nottebrok and Ryne Birk. Af-ter a scoreless sixth frame, A&M pushed across seven more in the seventh inning.

Every Aggie starter had at least one hit in the ballgame with Birk leading the way with a 4-for-5 performance. Birk totaled three runs, drove in three of his own, and had two extra base hits and a walk on the night.

The Aggies (23-15, 7-8 SEC) now prep for a three-game series against another set of Wildcats in SEC rival Kentucky. The No. 19 Wildcats are fresh off a sweep of No. 9 Louisville.

Senior Jason Jester had his first career start last week against Vanderbilt in a 10-4 win, and head coach Rob Childress is ex-pected to start the former closer to kick off the home stand.

Daniel Mengden (2-5, 4.05 ERA) and Grayson Long (4-1, 2.47 ERA) are the expected starters for Saturday and Sunday.

While the scars left by the plant explosion are still evident, one year later the city of West is on the path to recovery.

On April 17, 2013, a fertilizer plant ex-plosion shook the lives of those in small

West, Texas, demolishing buildings throughout the town and causing many to lose both homes and loved ones.

The city will hold a memorial ceremony Thursday, both in remembrance of the accident and to recognize the growth and recovery that the city has gone through since.

Suzanne Hack, West Long-Term Recovery Center execu-tive director, said West is now completely involved in the rebuilding process of the community.

“Over spring break we were able to complete the remainder of the cleanup and the demolition,” Hack said. “Now it’s 100 percent, full-force rebuilding.”

There is a strong sense of community in the small town, a connection that recovery center caseworker Juli Ivie said influenced the initial reaction to the explosion one year ago.

“Places were opening shelters for people to go to,” Ivie said. “A lot of people didn’t go to them. They didn’t have to. If you don’t have family living around here, you’ve got friends that live around here and the community took care of itself. You went to family. You didn’t have to go to a shelter, to a strange place. That’s what amazed me that night.”

The success that the city has seen so far has come from locals as well as volunteers, and volunteer Jim Lawson from Milford, Texas, said the recovery center is really there to keep things organized and moving forward.

“We’re simply conductors,” Lawson said. “We orchestrate and try to coordinate all of the relief efforts from the different groups that come in.”

Brenda Jones is a caseworker for the recovery center, work-ing directly with individuals affected by the explosion. She said the caseworkers on staff were all picked because of their unique talents.

“Every one of us brings something different to the table to make a quality, united team,” Jones said. “And that’s what it’s taken because there’s such a diverse connection that you need all of those talents.”

Now that the city is in the rebuilding process, Hack said money for building supplies is necessary to continue progressing.

“When you drive through town, it’s very hope filled,” Hack said. “You see these beauti-ful homes that are be-ing built, but people are really exhausting all of their resources to rebuild.”

While the progress has been slow, Ivie said the town is moving to-ward recovery.

“It’s coming back,” Ivie said. “I mean it is a process. I feel like I’ve been coming here for the last six years with family, friends and I feel like it’s taken a while, but it’s com-ing back together. It’s never going to be the same. It’ll be a different West — I think it’ll be stronger.”

Playing a part in the rebuilding of West, Addison Porter, senior accounting major, said a group of Ag-gie students organized a profit share and planned a volunteer trip to West immediately after the accident.

“At that time, right after the explosion, there were still emergency teams in there, government agencies in there trying to make sure it was actually okay for people to go in and help out, so there was almost a standstill for like a week where we weren’t necessarily allowed to go there and help out, physically help out,” Porter said. “Instead of giving them clothes or food or shoes, the thing they needed most was money.”

Tyler Stewart, Class of 2013 and former MSC president, also traveled to West to volunteer. He said A&M was the first university to start volunteer work in West, and the Aggies’ ef-forts came at an ideal time for the city.

“It took some time to find who was in charge of the relief,”

HOLD ONTO A PIECE OF AGGIELAND

Stewart said. “We were coming right as the federal govern-ment was leaving, and they were leav-ing a hole that the locals in West had to figure out how to fill. There’s this weird limbo when no one really knows who was in charge, and so it was hard to figure out where we fit in.”

Locals still remember the Aggies visit last year. Ivie said she could remember the day that A&M students came into town.

“Oh man, that week after when y’all came up here on those buses — wow,” Ivie said. “I was sitting at the community center, we were down there doing pa-perwork. I knew that two big buses were already here and I passed two buses from Bryan school district that came in also. The amount of people was amazing.”

When Porter and the other Aggies reached West, he said it looked as if a tornado had struck the city, and the lo-cals were glad to see help.

“We went to the Red Cross head-quarters and everyone there was not

necessarily happy, but they were in a good mood and helping out and of course tired, but glad to see us,” Porter said.

When the group got on buses and headed to the epicenter of the explosion, zone three, Por-ter said there were fewer and fewer people.

“I don’t want this to sound depressing, but I would say it was very desolate, very somber,” Por-ter said. “Quiet would be a great word to describe it — almost like a ghost town. The closer you got to the explosion, the more you could tell that the place was just empty.”

“There was no one out there,” he said. “And that was eerie.”

Above all, Porter said he hopes the people of West under-

stand that even when a disaster like this hap-pens, the community can always move for-ward.

“There’s a lot of people that care about them,” Porter said. “Even through awful, awful times, there’s still a glimmer of hope that it’ll get better. I hope that this memorial is less of a somber look in the past and more of a hopeful look in the future as to what we can do from here on out, going forward.”

For Stewart, the hope is that the volunteer work of Ag-gies and other volunteers helped the people of West get their confidence back.

“The community was just rocked and it was really hard for some of them to deal with,” Stewart said. “But I think from the ashes comes new life and I hope that we are seeing that in West now. I hope that they respond stronger than ever and come back.”

STORIESFROM WEST

“We heard the sirens, the fire trucks, but we were thinking grass fire, you

know, maybe somebody’s house caught on fire. They

were rushing straight down to the plant, and

we never thought about the plant. We just didn’t even think about it. We

just kept doing what were doing. This is 20 minutes

later, it goes o�. The whole window, where I’m sitting at, comes rushing across the dining room table and

hits the wall. There’s three window panes where my

son was sitting at and only the middle blew in and it shot straight across.

Had he been sitting up, he would have got struck…

My wife was in the shower. I always kid about the two shower curtain rods she

has in there. The ceiling fell down on top of the shower

curtain rods. Those two shower curtain rods held the ceiling from falling on

top of her.”Pete Arias, recovery center

STORIESFROM WEST

“The folks here, everyone can tell you where they were. It’s just like John Kennedy. You know where you were. I teach 5th grade religious education on Wednesdays, that was the night of the explosion. I had triplets that

were in my class that night, and their house was destroyed.”

THE BATTALION: When did you become a fan of Wheel of Fortune?

EDMISTON: Pretty much my whole life. Growing up, my grandfather lived across the street from me and he’s blind and so every night at 6:30 I’d go over there and we’d try and work the puzzles together and I’d call out the letters to him. Early on, I loved the game and so I thought it would just be funny to apply and it ended up here.

THE BATTALION: How do you feel about being a part of an online video that has attracted so much popularity and traffi c recently?

EDMISTON: I knew taping this show it would be one for the records and cause some laughs, but I didn’t realize it would go viral so

quickly — that it would go on all these TV shows and talk shows and that all these famous people would be tweeting at us. I think the most recent was Perez Hilton, which I don’t even know who that is. It was defi nitely a shock, it’s been kind of hard to discern the truth from it all, because it’s all been so vamped up and some people aren’t telling the true story, which is hard, but I didn’t know it would spread like wild fi re.

THE BATTALION: What responses have you received from your family about the show?

EDMISTON: My family has been super supportive, but they’ve also been ‘Wow, she’s had her six days of fame instead of 15 minutes.’ And everyone is having their laughs, but they all understand how Julian could be hurting right now and they’ve just

been helping me with this because it’s a lot of media, it’s a lot of attention that [I am] not used to. They honestly can’t believe I kept it a secret the past two months.

THE BATTALION: Have you had any campus response to the video?

EDMISTON: On campus, my professor sent out an email and everyone knew I was going to be on it and a couple classes showed the video. So people will realize it’s me in the class and it’s just been fun to talk to them about it. There have been a few times that people have stopped me on campus. That was really random for me. I was just leaving an interview and

THE BATTALION: What do you plan to do with your winnings from the show?

EDMISTON: Student loans. Pay off some loans for school. And I won a trip to Jamaica so I’m going to go on that and it will be fun.

“I had done some work at the beginning of this week to change up a couple of things,” Lanphear said. “My coach, my team — everybody has faith in me and it was just kind of a timely thing and it finally happened.”

Tysarczyk hit a two-run home run off of Sam Houston State pitcher Meme Quinn in the bottom of the fifth to give the Aggies a nine-run victory over the Bearkats.

Junior pitcher Rachel Fox threw for three innings in Wednesday’s matchup with Sam Houston State and came away with 2 strikeouts, giving up one hit and no runs.
