Public health group honoring McAteer's advocacy

WHEELING — WHEELING, W.Va. (AP) _ J. Davitt McAteer, a vice president at Wheeling Jesuit University, is getting a national advocacy award from the American Public Health Association.



McAteer will be honored later this month in California with the David P. Rall Award for Advocacy in Public Health for what the group says are outstanding career-long contributions.



The Shepherdstown attorney was a special adviser to Gov. Joe Manchin after the 2006 Sago Mine disaster.



He's also a former director of the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration and authored a book on the Monongah mine explosion, which killed hundreds in 1907.



Earlier in his career, he teamed with Ralph Nader to push mine-safety reform, and he helped the United Mine Workers revitalize its health and safety department.
