THE BALANCING ACT

Every day, senior Kileah Adkins juggles college, work and being a single parent to provide for her son. Tier Morrow Features Editor

ileah Adkins follows the same routine every morning as she tries to balance raising her 3-year-old son, Lucien, and all of her other responsibilities in life. She and her son live in a small, income-based apartment on Tillotson Avenue, close to work, Ball State and his preschool. “I won’t lie — there are days when it gets rough,” Adkins said. “Yes, we are struggling right now because I’m a poor, single mother, but I try to push myself by seeing the big picture. I’m miserable now, and I can stay that way the rest of my life, or I can push through for two more years and be able to give Lucien the life I want for him.”

Childhood Although Adkins was born in Muncie, she and her mother moved to Corbin, Kentucky, when Adkins was young. In August 2007, Adkins began her first semester at Eastern Kentucky University, but less than a year and a half later, she transferred to Ball State. During her second round of college at Ball State, Adkins said her classes and home life began to overwhelm her, so she ran.

Kileah Adkins, senior English education major, drops her son, Lucien Miller, off at Hazelwood Christian Preschool April 12, 2019. Sometimes she said it can be a struggle to drop him off. REBECCA SLEZAK, DN “Instead of facing my problems, I dropped out of school and ran to the Florida Keys,” Adkins said. “In a few months, I met a guy and got pregnant.”

Lucien’s birth Lucien Vaughn Adkins was born Oct. 30, 2015. Adkins said the first few months after she and her boyfriend brought Lucien home were an adjustment for her.

“[His dad] stayed home with me for a week,” Adkins said. “He knew how to change a diaper and I didn’t. He had to show me a lot about what I needed to do to take care of my son.” Six months later, Adkins said she found out Lucien’s dad had gotten into trouble and was on his way to see them for the last time, but he never made it before he was arrested. “It was really hard when he first left because I didn’t

really have that other person to rely on,” Adkins said. “It was definitely the most challenging, but it has also been the most rewarding because I have learned that I am stronger than I thought I was, and I have grown as a person.”

College, round 3 Going back to college was not something Adkins ever thought she would do, but as a single mom of a toddler, she

said she knew she had to do it for him. “It was really hard to be a student again,” Adkins said. “I have gotten much better at dealing with stress than I was. I have been able to deal with my own doubt and overcome it.” Even though she said her first semester back in classes was difficult, Adkins said she really connected with her creative writing teacher, who has been a huge support.

Darolyn Jones, assistant teaching professor of English, said Adkins has always shown a level of maturity higher than her classmates, and she always comes to class prepared. “I think Ki is really in the right field for her,” Jones said. “Since she has a child, she will be able to view teaching differently because she will be more empathetic and compassionate, especially to parents who are trying to juggle a lot.”

Indiana has the second-highest child abuse rates in the country.

2017 CHILD VICTIMS (Rate per 1,000 Children)

With a rate of 18.6 victims per 1,000 children, Indiana has child abuse rates more than double the national average of 9.1 victims per 1,000 children. Indiana only falls behind Kentucky with 3.6 fewer child abuses every 1,000 children. However, Indiana’s rate continues to rise each year, according to the report.

Taylor Smith Reporter She said she was 9 years old when her father began physically and verbally abusing her and her siblings. Sara Zimmerman, freshman social studies education major, said it took two years to receive help. “It was, ‘We’re sorry, but there’s nothing we can do because you guys didn’t take enough pictures.’ There wasn’t enough bruising,” she said. “There wasn’t enough evidence, in their opinion, to deem it as child abuse.” During that time, Zimmerman said she felt “hopeless and afraid.” “You’re living with someone and you don’t know what their next step will be or how it’s going to hurt you,” she said. It wasn’t until Zimmerman’s mother divorced her father that the court granted her family a protection order against her father. According to court documents, Zimmerman’s mother was granted full custody of her and her siblings and any visit from her father had to be monitored. Zimmerman’s experience is just one case of child abuse reported in the state of Indiana. In 2017, a total of 29,198 victims of child abuse were documented, according to the Children’s Bureau of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ 2017 Child Maltreatment report. The report, which covers all child abuse incidents reported and investigated during the 2017 federal fiscal year, estimates there were 674,000 victims of child abuse and neglect across the country. The report also ranks Indiana the second-highest state in child abuse rates.

“I just think we can do more. I think a lot of it gets brushed under the rug,” Zimmerman said. “I think there can be reform to the CPS (Child Protective Services) system.” Matt Moore, assistant professor of social work and director of the bachelors in social work program, however, said he sees child abuse statistics as “kind of a double-edged sword.” Moore believes that with more cases being recognized and identified, more children may be receiving the services and help they need. “While high numbers don’t look good on paper, high numbers, in theory, can mean that families are getting connected with the resources that will help them change their lives,” he said. Most states recognize four types of abuse: neglect, physical abuse, psychological mistreatment and sexual abuse. Following the trend of prior years, the two highest forms of abuse that children suffered from were neglect (74.9 percent) and physical abuse (18.3 percent), the report states. Matthew Peiffer, freshman social work major, said he experienced both. Peiffer was adopted at the age of 3 and lived with his twin sister and younger sister in a mobile home in Indiana with their adoptive family for 13 years. During that time, Peiffer said he was often locked in his room for hours at a time without access to a proper restroom. To relieve himself, Peiffer’s twin sister would attempt to unlock his bedroom door. When that failed, he said he would go to the bathroom down the vent in his room.

The start of the 21st century has seen a rise in death or injury due to mass school shootings, according to a report from ScienceDaily. The National Center for Education Statistics shows more schools have also implemented security and safety measures. Research done by Jagdish Khubchandani, associate professor of health science, and James Price, professor emeritus of health education and public health, however, indicates these preventative measures at schools may not be worth the cost. The study was a review of research and statistics on school firearm violence to see if the sometimes costly protective measures actually cut back on firearm violence. The two professors searched Google Scholar, CINHAL and PubMed for data on firearm violence from youths in and outside of schools, according to the study. After concluding his research, Khubchandani said he and Price found that the safety practices used by American schools today are “a reaction and not [a] precaution.” “The school systems have issues with teachers and funding, and those are big structural issues that have to be addressed,” Khubchandani said. “Then we need to invest in counselors, mental health service providers and teachers.”

I think all those prevention efforts that they talk about are really, really important. But also think we have to be realistic and if we’re the police department we have to train if something does happen. We have to be ready to react.” - JIM DUCKHAM, Director of public safety at Ball State One of the more common preventative measures is having armed personnel at schools, normally a police officer, Price said. He added that the average annual salary for a police officer in school five days a week is roughly $35,000 to $45,000. “Virginia Tech was a college that was attacked, [which] had plenty of police officers on campus that day, that did not stop the shooter from killing 32 students and teachers,” Price said. Jim Duckham, director of public safety at Ball State, said the police officers at schools are more than just armed guards for the students, but rather members of the community. “If you’re in that school every day, and you get to see a kid every day and all of a sudden you see a dramatic

change, he’s become isolated or you see hygiene issues, you notice these things,” Duckham said. According to the study, there are eight “key stakeholders” for firearm violence prevention: gun rights groups, the general public, gun control groups, students and parents, physicians and healthcare professionals, law enforcement officials, policymakers and school personnel and administrators. “What is really missing is the communication with the parents, the schools, the children [and] the law enforcement,” Khubchandani said. “We believe that until and unless you have your own customized community solution in consensus with the community stakeholders, you cannot be successful in solving a problem.” The study suggests that instead of preventing youths from acquiring firearms, the primary prevention measure for youths with firearms is Child Access Prevention (CAP) laws. According to a summary of state CAP laws, Indiana is one of the states “Preventing Persons from Intentionally, Knowingly [or] Recklessly Providing Firearms to Minors.” Price said the issue isn’t spending “tens of millions of dollars to combat young people that have access to firearms. “I think we need to look at a real preventive mechanism. And that is, in most cases [is], going

to be things like universal policy,” Price said. One example of a preventative measure would be creating a law to ban access to high-capacity magazines, meaning the shooter would fire less shots before reloading, Price said. Another example he gave was limiting access to militarystyle assault rifles. On the subject of suicides by firearms at schools, he said not properly locking up weapons in the home creates an “attractive hazard” for youth who are considering suicide. Price also said money should be put toward mental health services at schools. “They don’t go to a psychiatrist’s office, which is often hard to get into and expensive,” Price said. “So, the convenience of having adequate mental health services in schools is critically important to getting youth [the] services that they need, so that they don’t move toward either firearm homicides or suicide.” Duckham said prevention is important to be able to identify possible threats before they happen, as well as training for when the attacks occur. “I think all those prevention efforts that they talk about are really, really important. But I also think we have to be realistic and if we’re the police department we have to train if something does happen. We have to be ready to react,” Duckham said.

ABUSE

Continued from Page 03 “They didn’t want to have us out in the public too much, so they would go to Amish places and buy oatmeal and stuff that hadn’t been processed,” Peiffer said. “So then the eggs would hatch and there would be bugs in our food.” One day, during a trip into town, Peiffer’s twin sister ran to a nearby community school and asked for help. From there, Peiffer and his two sisters were removed from the home of their adoptive parents and placed in foster care. On Jan. 1, 2002, Peiffer’s adoptive father was charged with four Class A felonies and ﬁve Class C felonies for child molestation, three of which were dismissed while he plead by agreement to the rest. Peiffer said his younger sister, Emily Peiffer, struggled with feelings of guilt for what happened to her and her siblings. Then, in June 2016, she died unexpectedly at age 18, according to her obituary. Peiffer said she died by suicide. “I was 19 years old and planning a funeral,” Peiffer said. “It was all a new experience for me.” Since Peiffer’s experiences,

Peiffer has become an active member of Indiana Connected by 25, an organization that helps Indiana children throughout their time in foster care, and has proposed a new bill in memory of his sister. “The bill that I’m proposing is ‘My Adopted Parents Did All The Abuse,’ [which has the Department of Child Services (DCS)] check on kids that are adopted at ages 5, 10 and 15 just to hold [the adoptive parents] more accountable,”

Peiffer said. Peiffer has also worked with the Indiana DCS to continue efforts to decrease child abuse rates in the state and aid victims in recovery. Noelle Russell, deputy director of communications for Indiana DCS, said progress is being made regarding the issue of child abuse in Indiana. “We are encouraged by the progress made to ensure all Indiana children have safe childhoods,” Russel said.

MORE LANGUAGE OPTIONS American Sign Language will fulfill modern language requirement Scott Fleener Reporter Come fall 2019, Ball State students will have another course option to choose from to fulﬁll the modern language requirement. The Department of Special Education sent an email to students informing them American Sign Language (ASL) was “recently approved to satisfy the Bachelor of Arts (BA) modern language requirement.” The email said the department would offer a new ASL minor and a revised deaf studies minor.

David McIntosh, department chair of special education, said the department was able to fill a fulltime faculty position in January. “I think we knew we were going to have that demand,” McIntosh said. “[We were] a little surprised that we were going to have this much demand.” McIntosh said the department worked with administrators to try to find ways to meet the demand. He said one of his ideas was to hire adjunct professors. “I think one of the biggest struggles we are going to have is finding instructors who are fluent in ASL,” McIntosh said. Zoe Harvey, senior deaf education major, said it’s important for students to know ASL because it’s not always seen as a language, even though it has its own grammar structure. “I think it’s best to educate the community on the fact that this is a language and these

Three hands sign the letters “B,” “S” and “U.” American Sign Language is now a class that can fulﬁll Ball State’s modern language requirement. JACOB MUSSELMAN, DN ILLUSTRATION people matter,” Harvey said. “Those in the deaf community who use American Sign Language

have every single right to be able to communicate with those around them as someone who uses a foreign language.” Today, ASL is the sixth-most-used language in America, according to Gallaudet University. Harvey said she chose to be a deaf education major because she “fell in love with the culture and the community” after three girls who were deaf joined the swim team she was coaching. McIntosh said there is a need for people in different careers who know ASL. Harvey said she encourages interested students to sign up for a class, as being able to interpret ASL will give students “one more step into [the deaf] community.” “We need more hearing advocates and allies for the deaf community,” Harvey said. “You get that chance by learning the language.” Contact Scott Fleener with comments at jsﬂeener@bsu.edu or on Twitter @Scott_Reports.

MIND + BODY Amidst the punches and kicks, mixed martial arts provides growth mentally and physically. Jack Williams Sports Editor Some days are good. Some days are bad. For assistant professor of English Kathryn Gardiner, things could be worse. Like getting punched in the face worse. “I’ll think sometimes if I’m having a bad day or something like that, I’ll say, ‘What’s the person going to do, hit me in the face?’” Gardiner said. “We’re in a civilized society. They can scream and yell at me, but at the end of the day no one is punching me.” While Gardiner wasn’t expecting punches at work, she isn’t a stranger to combat. From 2008-11, she participated in various forms of martial arts, ranging from Muay Thai to competitive cage ﬁghting. As her involvement in martial arts began to grow, she began to learn more about herself, speciﬁcally what her body and mind could withstand. While she said the hits hurt, her mind began to grow. “My body can do a lot of things, but it’s not exceptional,” Gradiner said. “My mental toughness was where I was able to excel past my teammates in my sheer ability to stand discomfort.

“It has aided me more times in my life than I would’ve liked. For example, I’m a screenwriter, so I spend hours on a script ... That takes a certain type of toughness to say ‘I’m doing this now because, at the end, it’ll be worth while.” Out on the floor, the discomfort that some of these fighters are put through is what continues to push them in their respective martial art. Max Burt, Ball State alumni and founder of Muncie Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, said it’s the aspect of being OK while in those situations that separates the beginners from the veterans. “When people start jiu-jitsu, they aren’t used to being in those situations because they aren’t used to that close contact,” Burt said. “You tend to find a way that you can survive in those situations. Nothing is going to kill you, and you’re going to be OK. You just need to make it through that period of time.” The focus within the game is not something that holds value strictly in martial arts. Across the sporting world, the management of pressure and endurace plays a key role in any athletic performance. “Handling pressure is huge in the mental aspect of sports,” said Jean-Charles Lebeau, assistant professor of sports and exercise psychology. “When you look at the history of sports psychology and the strategies, the original goal was to decrease your stress and use various stress-reducing techniques. What we found out is that it doesn’t work for everyone ... The new trend now is to implement those stress symptoms into excitement.”

Continued from Page 7 The duality of excitement and stress has been worked on not only to help performance in all facets of sports, but everyday functions as well. Jumping into the cage for the first time, Gardiner didn’t know if her opponent was going to be “the next Rhonda Rousey” or just someone who was fighting for fun. In that first fight, she began to use the one aspect that has driven her through her entire life, something she said she wants to face and not run away from: fear. “I felt nervous but very ready at the same time,” Gardiner said. “I still have this philosophy of going toward things that frighten me. The fighting really didn’t scare me, but the unknowns of going in front of an audience and handling myself as an athlete. The fight only lasted 45 seconds.” That drive pushed Gardiner through a successful run in the sport, finishing a three-year cage fighting career at 2-2. Lebeau said the aspect of drive in sports is key to an athlete’s performance at any time. “Drive is a type of motivation,” Lebeau said. “The definition of motivation is the drive to push you to do something or push you away from it … The drive can be related to the passion of the sport in getting on the field and playing the sport and repeating it over and over again. The other aspect of passion in the drive in getting involved early in the sport and enjoying it while you are young.” That drive proved to be important in Gardiner’s career, and eventually that sense of fear began to wear out, taking her passion with it. While she would still step inside the cage or on the floor, she struggled to feel the same fear. “I had a brother that passed away, and when I fought I was dealing with a lot of grief in there,” Gardiner said. “It was a place to punch the universe and release all that anger and fear. In what was my last fight, I wanted to see if that fear and drive was still there. If it wasn’t fear, I was going to stop. I wasn’t afraid, and I was just done.” Whether it’s a burnout or loss of motivation, it’s not uncommon for athletes to lose interest. Lebeau said it’s especially common in individual sports such as swimming and tennis to see this burnout happen. “There is a small percentage of athletes who burn out and have to stop for a couple weeks or a whole season,” Lebeau said. “They might even stop altogether and take another route or start another sport.” In combat sports, it’s easy for that draw off to happen, especially early on. In his eight years of teaching jiu-jitsu, Burt said the hardest part of getting involved in the sport is the damage it can do to your ego. “The most important thing is you need to walk in the door the first time,” Burt said. “Jiu-jitsu can tear your ego down a lot, which is good in the long run, but hard for people in the beginning. You have to be prepared for that. You can’t think that you’re going to be the king of the class. You want to come in with an open mind.” While she has closed the cage doors and her fire has died out, Gardiner still has a deep love of the sport. She may not be getting hit in the face, but hearing the rattle of the chain holding a heavy bag sparks joy in her. “There will be a few things I love more than boxing,” Gardiner said. “I don’t get to do it as much anymore because I injured my elbow and couldn’t keep going. However, I can’t get myself to get rid of my equipment. I keep thinking I should go for it.” Contact Jack Williams with any comments at jgwilliams@bsu. edu or on Twitter @jackgwilliams.

Looking at the positives Cardinals take step forward at Victory Field despite loss to Indiana. Zach Piatt Assistant Sports Editor

Strike three. Strike three. Strike three. Just 14 pitches into the game, sophomore Drey Jameson punched out Indiana’s first three batters. It was a favorable start for Ball State, especially after giving up four runs in the first inning of the Cardinals’ 14-3 loss to the Hoosiers just a week prior. Tuesday, despite ending in a 9-3 loss, was a bounce-back game for the Cardinals. While the score looks one-sided, it doesn’t show just how close of a game it was. The Cardinals had the lead through the first four innings. The Hoosiers tied it up in the fifth and had a one-run lead heading into the ninth. The top of the ninth was when Indiana’s bats caught fire as the Hoosiers brought 11 men to the plate and scored five. “For a fan watching the game, you have to enjoy that game,” head coach Rich Maloney said. “Both teams battling, both teams competing. It was a good game. It was disappointing we weren’t able to finish it off, but heck, man, I’m proud of my guys.” The game wasn’t just a team recovery, but an individual one by redshirt senior Brendan Burns as well. Burns started the game against Indiana April 16 and couldn’t get out of the first inning. Tuesday Burns came in relief in the sixth inning and retired the first seven batters he faced. Of the eight Hoosiers to come to the plate against him, six were set down on strikes. “That felt good for me because last week was a struggle,” Burns Freshman pitcher Landon McGill watches his teammates bat during the last inning of said. “Coach told me I had a chance of coming in tonight, so now I the game against Indiana University at Victory Field in Indianapolis, April 23, 2019. want revenge. I want these guys again because I know I can do better.” The team lost the game, 9-3. REBECCA SLEZAK, DN Maloney said the first eight innings felt like a classic Ball StateIndiana matchup. The Cardinals haven’t beaten the Hoosiers in their last nine tries. However, their last four meetings resulted in a one-run game, and the last three ended on a walk-off hit in extra innings. Junior Ross Messina is in his first year in a Ball State uniform, but he said he knows the recent history between the cardinal and crimson. “We really want to get back on top against them,” Messina said. “They’re a great team, and we know there’s no margin for error o against them. You miss one play, and they’ll score a couple runs. We come ready to play against these guys.” Moving forward, Maloney said the team should have plenty of confidence despite a 2-3 record in its last five games. Two of the losses were against Indiana, which is currently ranked 23rd in the nation in the NCAA Division I poll. In that span, the Cardinals also became the first Mid-American Conference team to take a series from Miami (Ohio), who is atop the MAC standings. “The last four games, we’ve played really solid,” Maloney said. “You can’t ask much more than what we did. I like where we’re at right now. I like the team we have, and I think we got a good chance to finish strong down the stretch.” Contact Zach Piatt with any comments at zapiatt@bsu.edu or on Twitter @zachpiatt13.

Students volunteer at summer camps Camp ReYoAd and Bradford Woods are two camps that offer summer experiences for individuals with special needs. Molly Boylan, a Ball State graduate student, has volunteered at Camp ReYoAd for seven years. She said working at the summer camp gives her an opportunity to connect with people she might normally overlook.11

APPLYING CREATIVITY

PlySpace brings artists to Muncie through residency program. Pauleina Brunnemer Reporter While the word “ply” typically relates to things like plywood and two-ply toilet paper, in the Muncie community, it’s associated with an organization — PlySpace. Braydee Euliss, the executive director for Muncie Arts and Culture Council, said “PlySpace” has a double meaning for the program. “A lesser known understanding and meaning of the word [ply] is to transport something to and from a place,” Euliss said. “So that was already built into the dialogue of the program, and it served as an exchange of ideas, an exchange of skill set. “It represents an outside artist coming in, spending time in our community and taking from the community, as well as our community taking things away from them.” In 2017, Euliss realized the community was interested in supporting local artists and creative opportunities. PlySpace was eventually created to further that mission. The organization offers a residency program for artists, where they

receive two $500 stipends — one for food and one for travel — and a place to fuel their creativity. “I think the community as a whole is passionate in supporting itself, and each other and their people. It’s supporting the people who live here,” Euliss said. “The residency program is just one more way we are able to do that.” PlySpace is a house located in the Emily Kimbrough Historic District, so only three to four artists can work together during the same term. This allows PlySpace artists to have more interactions with other residents and the community. “It’s traditionally a space where artists can get out of their own home atmosphere, and go somewhere where they can have time and space to do their creative practice,” said Erin Williams, the residency coordinator for PlySpace. “PlySpace is open to residents of all creative practices. We don’t have a speciﬁc creative direction we are going.” All artists have to apply on a term-to-term basis, and even though they are given creative freedom, they are still required to do a community-based project.

Here and now Adkins is currently a senior, but she has two more years before she will graduate with her degree because she can only take four classes at a time. She said she hopes to teach a high school class after college, but she doesn’t have any set plans for the future. “I’ve always liked kids but having one of my own has really deepened my understanding of them,” Adkins said. “[I think as a single mother I will be able to offer] more insight about children, how they are, how they learn, etc.” Currently, Lucien attends Hazelwood Christian Preschool while she is in class or at work. “Since we are so close to campus, parents can stop by in between classes, for lunch or when we have special programs,” said Angie Lopez, director of Hazelwood Christian Preschool. “It can be hard enough for parents to leave their children and go to work, so we try to offer as much support as we can in the ways we know how.” Each afternoon, Adkins said she picks Lucien up from preschool at 4. After getting him ready for bed each night, Adkins said she tries to convince herself to work on homework, wash the dishes or pick up his toys, but she never accomplishes what she wants before falling asleep herself.

I’ve always liked kids but having one of my own has really deepened my understanding of them. [I think as a single mother I will be able to offer] more insight about children, how they are, how they learn, etc.” - KILEAH ADKINS, Ball State English education major and single mother There are days when school and raising her son are overwhelming, days when nothing goes as she plans and, though maybe not as often as she would like, days when everything seems “too good to be true.” Still, Adkins knows she is following the path best for her, and more importantly, best for Lucien. “He is my driving force. There are days when I don’t want to get out of bed from exhaustion and depression, but he is the sole reason why I do,” Adkins said. “I’ve had to jump through so many hoops that I never thought I would be able to, but I have for him, and I’m here.” Contact Tier Morrow with comments at tkmorrow@bsu.edu or on Twitter @tiermorrow.

“The goal is to get the artists embedded into the community in a way that’s more fruitful for everybody involved,” Williams said. “It’s difficult to create those connections. It takes a lot of time if an artist has a practice that isn’t super directed toward social projects. That is sometimes kind of daunting, to get that part started.” For resident artists such as Siena Hancock, PlySpace allows the Muncie community to become a home for their work. “I like to say this to people: I have more friends here now than I probably have in Boston,” Hancock said. “People are friendlier here, and because I’ve been doing this project, it really gets me out and puts me out in the community in a way that I may not otherwise.” Hancock has been a resident at PlySpace since February and is currently working on a project that focuses on feminism in Muncie, as well as what it is like to be a woman in Muncie. Through 36 hourlong interviews, Hancock has been able to explore the stories of female, nonbinary and LGBTQ residents in the Muncie area and at Ball State. She said she hopes to get four more before she leaves. “A lot of women will claim they are not feminist, but then, they will say, ‘I believe in women’s rights, I believe in this, and I believe in that.’ They do this circular thing, and they actually are feminist, but they don’t want to say

it,” Hancock said. “There is just an expected condition of that word, so I think people kind of have to wrap their minds around it.” Because of the amount of interview footage she has, Hancock said it will take anywhere from six months to a year to finish the project. She also said one idea she has for the final product is a sculptural body with speakers that will play the audio, as well as a website, but nothing is set in stone. “Long term, I hope this project will be developed and go other places,” Hancock said. “I think this will be a really good step in the direction of doing that. It’s been great to have the support of PlySpace to make this happen. It is a pretty experimental idea, so the fact that they let me come and work it out was really great. I think it says a lot about the program that they just let artists come and experiment. They are supportive of different methodologies.” Contact Pauleina Brunnemer with comments at pdbrunnemer@bsu.edu or on Twitter @pauleina15.

Students share ‘an oasis’ created for everyone Camp ReYoAd and Bradford Woods offer summer camp experiences for people with special needs. Kiera Helm Reporter Summer is meant for days on the lake, roasting marshmallows over bonfires for s’mores and hiking through the woods trying to avoid poison ivy. Summer is also for making memories volunteering and working at summer camps like Camp ReYoAd and Bradford Woods, both of which offer unique summer experiences for campers with special needs. “What has always blown me away about this is that we get to work with kids in an environment that is built for them,” said Maclaine Leaird, senior English education major. “When we need to freshen up, we can do that in any bathroom. When we go to the lake, we can walk on special mats placed to help us get across the sand. When we want to go for a walk in the woods, we can walk along paths that are accessible to any needs. It is created to be an oasis for everyone.”

Camp ReYoAd Ball State graduate student Molly Boylan and senior nursing major Emma Sullivan both volunteer each summer at Camp ReYoAd, which stands for Remarkable Youth and Adults. The weeklong camp held at Epworth Forest Conference Center in North Webster, Indiana, caters to people aged 16 and older with special needs. While the camp is faith-based, religion is not required. For more than 50 years, volunteers and campers with a variety of religious backgrounds have come together to celebrate the experience of summer camp through fellowship, boating, crafts, games and more. “What I enjoy about ReYoAd is that it gives us an opportunity to connect with people we might normally overlook,” Boylan said. “I feel it normalizes interaction with individuals who have cognitive disabilities, which is crucial to creating an inclusive everyday environment.”

What matters is the people we have around us and the love we have to spread.”

Campers and staff push beyond the limits that they themselves have placed or the world has placed on them,” Leaird said. “Everyone gets to climb, zip line, hike, swim, get to know who they are in an environment that accepts all differences.” Another returning Bradford Woods volunteer is junior nursing major Mary Blanke, who heard about the camp from senior Liz Hynes.

Bradford Woods While Camp ReYoAd is in northern Indiana, Bradford Woods offers similar volunteer and attendee options in the southern part of the state. Each summer, Bradford Woods hosts multiple camps designed speciﬁcally for people with special needs — including Camp About Face for campers aged 8-18 with craniofacial anomalies, Camp Independence for those aged 8-18 with sickle cell anemia and other blood diseases, and Hi-Lite for children who have Down syndrome. Last year, seven Ball State students worked the entire summer at Bradford Woods. A few additional students volunteered during particular camp sessions at Bradford Woods, such as Kan Du, a medically-intensive camp for youths with a developmental age of 0-48 months. Leaird said she will be returning to Bradford Woods in a few weeks to begin her fourth summer on the staff. During her time, Leaird has served as a lifeguard, cabin counselor, waterfront director and logistics coordinator on Bradford Woods’

I’m having a bad day or feel sad about anything, I just go back and look through my thousands of pictures and videos from the summer, and I immediately get the biggest smile on my face.” Both Camp ReYoAd and Bradford Woods provide a space where people can “unapologetically be themselves.” “It’s so important to empower these children because they need to know just how incredible each and every one of them is,” Blanke said. “At camp, they’re able to hang out with kids who relate to them and a staff who loves them. They are given this safe space that enables them to thrive and overcome challenges they would’ve never thought possible.”

Through planned activities, games, friendship and reﬂection, each camper, camp counselor and volunteer leaves with new lifelong lessons. “I try to bring camp into everything I do. Every single person you come into contact with has a different set of abilities than the other,” Leaird said. “We all deserve to be treated with kindness and respect. We all deserve the opportunity to try new things, to explore the world and to make friends.

Full Dis-Chlo-Sure

Black coffee is not the enemy Chloe Fellwock is a freshman advertising major and writes “Full Dis-Chlo-Sure” for the Daily News. Her views do not necessarily agree with those of the newspaper. Write to Chloe at cfellwock@bsu.edu. Have you ever told someone you like black coffee? It’s astounding how quickly people turn on you. All at once, there’s murmuring, indignant outbursts and questions about “how things are going at Chloe home.” It’s what I imagine the Fellwock Salem witch trials were like. I’ve Columnist, been a big fan of black coffee for a Full Dis-ChloSure while, so by now, I’ve gotten used to the chaos. My first experience with black coffee happened at a fish fry when I was in grade school. My dad had gotten a cup on the way back to the car and asked if I wanted a sip. I said I did and immediately spit it into the nearest bush, but I’ve since grown stronger. After that, I exclusively drank the most milkshake-esque excuses for lattes until high school, when I realized there would never be time to wait around for a whipped-cream-topped “good cop” to help me finish my assignments. So I made up with the necessary “bad cop” I had previously hated and got to work. By my senior year, I could drink what others may have called “raw coffee” and feel nothing. It was incredible. So yeah, nothing anyone can say about my caffeine choices can boil my bicycle anymore. Soon, I will have another writing extravaganza, just like many of you. Finals week is coming up, and my coffee will be dark as the circles under my eyes. Maybe yours will not, and that’s OK! If it gets you to May 3, and it’s not illegal, do it! But I do ask on behalf

i just

of all my fellow black coffee lovers that you be kind. Please don’t criticize my coffee. Neither of us have time for that chaos, and it’s just a beverage. It’s not as though I don’t enjoy the sweet, fancy stuff, I do! I don’t approve of people who act like anyone’s order at the coffee shop makes you “basic” or dumb. If that gets you up to go listen to someone prattle on about time management while not having your assignment from 10 years ago graded at 8 a.m., do it! I don’t approve of people acting like enjoying black coffee is a personality trait, either. Drinking black coffee with a laptop nearby doesn’t make you a writer, Greg. And it doesn’t mean your music taste is better either; everyone has heard of The Smiths. Yet, when I say I like black coffee, it’s, “Ew, it’s so bitter!” “I heard people who do that are more likely to be psychopaths!” “Why do you enjoy pain?” “Is your soul just a void?” To these people, I would like to answer a few questions: First, yes, I’m aware that it’s bitter, and while I’ve grown accustomed to the taste, that was never what this was about. Coffee has always been about writing a 10-12 page paper in one night. I’m just the main guy in the action movie who fell in love with “The One Female Character.” Second, you’re not a psychologist. My soul and its void-like qualities are coincidental, not that that’s any of your business. If I were a psychopath, wouldn’t it be in your best interest to stay in your lane? Sip your milkshake, Sister Sue. Do I enjoy pain? No. What I do enjoy is living my best life during the days leading up to my all-night writing extravaganzas and never worrying about an “outline.” I don’t think I’ve planned an essay since fifth grade. In the coming weeks, this procrastination will catch up to me. That’s OK! I know it’s coming. I will take on the challenges with my black coffee and remain unperturbed regardless of people’s apparent outrage over my beverage choices. And since we’re all in this together, I suggest you do the same.
