JMU graduate student creates forest preschool so children can interact more with nature

JMU graduate student Stevie Lee created “The Explorers Club,” where she took a group of toddlers on adventures in the outdoors last summer.
Thursday, January 17, 2019
breezejmu.org
The Breeze
By ANDREA BRUSIG The Breeze
Lee was inspired to create the outdoor preschool program by researching forest schools in Scandinavia.
After four years of research and preparation, Stevie Lee created her own preschool program. This isn’t just any preschool: it’s an outdoor-only, rainor-shine program for children to learn practical skills to eventually use in a regular classroom setting. Through her research, Lee, a sports and recreation leadership graduate student, discovered that most families in Scandinavian countries send their children to “forest school,” where they learn practical life skills in the outdoors until age seven. Lee wanted to start small at first, developing a pilot program last summer to test this method of schooling in the Shenandoah Valley. “The Little Explorers Club” was born, which will become the “Appalachian Forest School,” a year-long preschool, this fall. “The idea behind being outside, in all different kinds of weather, falling down, working with friends, is that it builds resilience and problem-solving skills in the kids so when they do go to school in the traditional classroom, they can apply those skills to math and science and things like that,” Lee said. Lee talked to friends of hers and posted flyers around Harrisonburg to spread the word about the school. However, she credits word of mouth to her completely full summer roster. Ashley Taylor Jaffee, an associate professor of social studies education at JMU, discovered the preschool through a flyer at Greenberry’s Coffee Co. Despite her initial nerves about possible dangers that could
happen in the forest, she was excited for her daughter, Naomi, to join after Lee answered every question. “All the positive outcomes outweighed the risks, but I had to sort of take the leap to put my kid in an environment that I’m not super comfortable with, to reap all the benefits that the Valley has to offer,” Jaffee said. Jaffee noticed a change with Naomi’s communication and confidence upon completing the program. Her daughter would even show her family the hikes they took and what they learned about nature. The pilot program lasted from early June to early August. For two days a week, children would meet Lee in downtown Harrisonburg, pile into a van and head to various forests. Typically, they chose to visit George Washington National Forest, only a 20-minute drive away. Lee said the children would request road trip music along the way — anything from the Irish traditional song “Rattlin Bog” to “Hair Up” by Justin Timberlake. “Imagine a 12-passenger van full of car seats,” Lee said. “It’s so precious.” Each day brought something new, from learning about deer tracks to climbing rocks and visiting streams. But every day, Lee and the children built tents for their rest time, followed by story time with books relating to the outdoors. A favorite among the kids was “Goodnight Campsite.” “Our society has a limited view of what three-year-olds are capable of, but this summer on several occasions, the group hiked three miles every day,” Lee said. “They are capable of so much, it’s really, really impressive. But how would we ever know if we never give them the chance?”

children’s development. “We showed them the tree’s going to grow, the kids are going to grow and this tree is something they can come back to for the rest of their lives,” Lee said. “They can see how it’s grown and changed and how their lives have changed. The kids cared about this tree, and as the teacher, that’s an easy parallel to draw about taking care of the Earth and the benefits from that.” Moving forward, Lee plans to hire a second teacher to accomodate more children. While she’s looking forward to next summer, both Lee and families are eager to spend an entire academic year at the Appalachian Forest School. For the full year-long program, Lee plans to work with a local campsite to provide cabins for the children to stay in during the winter. Her goal is to also double the current enrollment she had for the summer program. “I wanted to start this program as a resource for families in Harrisonburg to have access to a program that doesn’t otherwise exist here, so my hope and my mission of the school is to captivate and cultvate kids through experiences in the outdoors,” Lee said. “My hope is that parents in Harrisonburg will also see that as important and valuable — I’ll be here to run the school as long as they do.”
@BreezeNewsJMU
One of Lee’s favorite parts about starting the program was watching kids’ growth from the beginning of the summer until the end. Most of the children were nervous about being outside all day but learned to embrace the bugs, mud and all that nature has to offer. All the children who attended the pilot program are returning next summer, and many have signed up for Lee’s full-year preschool program next fall. “The best part of starting the forest school has been giving kids a sense of place, and to give them unstructured play in the woods — because that can have such an impact on the rest of their lives,” Lee said. “It’s the purpose behind what I do.” Sarah Sutt, a parent of the pilot program, loved being able to expose her son to activities she can’t normally. Her son, Hawkin, now points out different trees and frogs he learned about over the summer. “It’s not every day that my husband and I can get him outside, and I feel like this gives him what I wish I could offer, but I’ve got to do day-to-day activities,” Sutt said. “He gets to have this experience that I can’t organize every week. I wouldn’t trust just anyone to send my kid off into the forest with all day — Stevie’s the whole package.” Before the program officially began, Lee and the children planted a tree together. They watered it daily, and by the end of the summer, they showed their families its growth. The tree’s growth was symbolic with the

Deontrace Ward, 19, sued Portsmouth policeman Jeremy Durocher on Tuesday. Durocher’s been indicted on two felonies related to the shooting. Ward pled guilty in the burglary, but denied pulling out a weapon, although one was found in his pant leg. Durocher’s attorney said the lawsuit attempts to “sensationalize this event.”

The certificate will provide a description of what they’ve accomplished and the sector of the Peace Corps they worked with, giving them an advantage when applying to the Peace Corps or entering the workforce. “I believe that this is an important program that provides Peace Corps prep in itself,” Hart said. “The requirements that the students have to complete helps them, no matter what walk of life or professional future the student will have, because it does provide the intercultural competencies that is necessary in today’s interconnected global world.” Intercultural competencies coursework can be completed in any study-abroad location where a Peace Corps office has been. Each student has the chance to practice the interview they’ll have with the Peace Corps if they decide to apply after college. “I think it’s important for anyone walking into another culture, in this case students who haven’t necessarily had experience interacting with that culture, to have some teaching about that culture and the kinds of sensitivities that you need to have,” ’96 JMU alumna and former Peace Corps Volunteer Erica Cavanagh said. “I hope that they gain the ability to surrender enough of their own culture to form close and trusting relationships with people from host cultures. Those relationships are what is gonna be the most valuable.” Cavanagh served in Benin from 1997-99, working with women and children’s nutrition and health. She’s now a professor at JMU in the creative writing program. There have been eight non-fiction pieces that Cavanagh has published about her experiences in the Peace Corps, and she plans on eventually turning them into a book. “My studies at JMU, just reading a lot and looking at a lot of art, made me hungry to see more and see beyond the Western sense of a human life,” Cavanagh said. “It

gave me an opportunity to see what it was like to live in a developing nation.” Those working with the program aren’t alone in raising awareness for the newest presence of the Peace Corps on campus. James Stearman, student ambassador for the Peace Corps and a senior communication studies major, said he helps market the program with his fellow ambassadors and encourages students to get involved with international service. “I think this will definitely have a positive impact because rather than only having ambassadors, such as myself, this will be engaging and interactive because it will be its own program,” Stearman said. “I think it will give people a better understanding of international service and specifically the Peace Corps.” According to Stearman, working with the Peace Corps has had many positive outcomes, and he said he’s developed professionally. He’s improved public speaking and can more easily connect with others in a professional context. Although not all young people know exactly what the Peace Corps is and how it operates, there are hopes that this program will lead to more applicants and a wider understanding of the organization. “Even for people who don’t apply to the Peace Corps after this, I think it will give them a better, well-rounded understanding of international ethics, competence and communications,” Stearman said. “The program itself will really be able to help prepare students to make a lasting difference in the world. I think everyone could benefit from it and I really think it will enhance everyone’s experience.” CONTACT Bridget Murphy at murph2br@ dukes.jmu.edu.

The Harrisonburg-Rockingham Free Clinic widened its eligibility for health care access at the start of the new year, now including those in the Shenandoah Valley who need medical assistance but didn’t previously financially qualify. This decision, which followed Virginia’s recent Medicaid expansion, allows the clinic to treat patients up to 300 percent above the federal poverty level. The new financial guidelines surpass the previous 200 percent limit prior to the Medicaid expansion, and will impact approximately 5,000 additional individuals in the Valley. This increased access to health care welcomes those who may not be struggling to survive but are challenged to be financially stable. Known as the ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) population, these individuals and families can afford basic necessities, but not much more. Over 38 percent of households in Harrisonburg currently live at the ALICE threshold. “We saw that this was a barrier,” Summer Sage, executive director of the HarrisonburgRockingham Free Clinic, said. “We said this is an area we can provide primary care services that would make a huge impact on someone’s life and ability to provide for their family, go to work, be there and make sure their kids are healthy and going to school.” The clinic was previously limited to treating chronic illness, but now provides primary care, behavioral health counseling and a variety of speciality clinics such as dermatology, OB-GYN, neurology and nutrition, as of August. The clinic additionally treats the uninsured — a population that makes up 18.5 percent of Rockingham County compared to Virginia’s 16 percent as stated by SAHIE. While individuals here on temporary status, such as green cards and work visas, are still not eligible for Medicaid, they can qualify for the free clinic’s care. Virginia is ranked 40th in the nation for mental health outcomes — the overall ranking of the states based on a score made up of 15 measures, including adults with any mental illness and adults with alcohol and drug dependence.
Harrisonburg and Rockingham County are considered to have a shortage of mental health providers, according to Sage. JMU and EMU students are now working with the clinic to provide non-emergency safe spaces for those in need of behavioral health counseling. As stated by Sentara RMH Medical Center’s Community Health Needs Assessment in 2018, 33.1 percent of Harrisonburg residents live below the federal poverty level, which is nearly triple Virginia’s 11.4-percent rate. Rural areas like Rockingham County face logistical issues for care, including lack of public transportation and clustering of educational and medical services. This makes it difficult because some residents don’t have reliable transportation, which becomes a problem in health emergencies. Doug Grey, executive director of Virginia Association of Health Plans, is hopeful that as a result of the Medicaid expansion, an increase in need for care in the immediate rural regions may prompt additional free clinics. As of now, there are 10 free clinics statewide. “There are likely to be groups of members in various rural areas that qualify for this benefit where they may not be a provider, where there may not have been one all along,” Grey said. “In these cases, people who live in very rural areas may have to drive across counties or two counties to get care, and that’s not new.” The clinic will additionally focus on patient education and addressing any other barriers that may prevent community members from accessing care. Sage’s determination to widen the free clinic was born from her own experiences, and she and the board are working to curb any additional existing hindrances. “The clinic isn’t for the least of these, or those that hold a stigma to it,” Sage said. “This is a fully functioning primary care clinic. When you come in the front, it looks like any other doctor’s office. There are no judgments in who comes through the doors for us; everyone is going to be treated like they’re coming to their doctor’s office.”

JILLIAN CAREY | jillian cares It’s no joke when people say “animation has come a l o n g w a y ,” usually in relation to how lifelike and detailed a piece of animation is. However, Sony’s “Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse,” released January, draws attention to the fact that we still have a long way to go. While it’s certainly impressive that animation has come far enough for viewers to zoom in and be able to see a character’s individual strands of hair or the fuzz on their shirt, “Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse” puts an emphasis on using animation to show the viewers what real life can’t. Besides the entire movie looking like a brought-to-life comic book, it uses elements of animation in new and intriguing ways. One example of this is after the protagonist, Miles Morales (Shameik Moore), gains his spider-sense. The viewer gets an idea of what the spider-sense feels like for Miles when the windows behind him suddenly flash the words “LOOK OUT,” filling the audience with the same sense of alarm that he must feel in that moment. Watching a movie as visually appealing as

“Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse” puts into perspective how boring much of modern animation is. It’s all something we’ve seen a hundred times, which explains why a movie like “Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse” is drawing so much attention and earning such rave reviews. It’s difficult not to commend the animators in their ability to mix animation styles, thanks to the way they’ve combined the comic book setting with more traditionally cartoonish-looking characters from other dimensions. Besides the unique animation style, “Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse” goes above and beyond with its representation of minorities, casting, plot and character design. When watching this movie, it’s obvious how different each character is, which isn’t always the case in movies. For example, Disney and Pixar both suffer from “same face syndrome,” where the female characters tend to have the exact same features — a dainty face-shape, big eyes and a button nose. The only real difference between many of them is their hair. Despite this, neither Disney or Pixar seemed to have any trouble with creating a dynamic
cast of male characters. It’s difficult to find even two that look alike, which makes the similarities between their female characters all the more disheartening. It encourages a beauty standard that’s difficult to reach, meanwhile almost any kind of man could see himself represented on-screen. It’s thanks to all these characteristics that “Spider-Man: Into the Spider vers e” feels like a glass of cool water in a desert. Many aspects of the movie are thrilling — its plot complications, use of comic book-style t h ou g ht bu b b l e s and humor are just a few parts of it — and it leaves the viewer itching for more. Hopefully, “Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse” will spark a revolution in animation, where animators and storyboard artists can strive to create something as different and jaw-dropping as this movie. Movies like this are what inspire young artists to create in the first place.
“Besides the entire movie looking like a brought-tolife comic book, it uses elements of animation in new and intriguing ways.” Jillian Carey

forced to flee their homes. Millions are on the brink of starvation, yet bombs are still flying into the country. The U.N. recently met in Sweden to confront both sides of the war. It seems as though countries within the U.N. and their leaders are starting to open their eyes to the situation. The conflict in Yemen has been ignored for quite some time. A resolution needs to be implemented immediately. In order to do so, reaching a conclusion among the Houthi rebels needs to be negotiated and humanitarian aid must be provided in order for Yemen civilians to survive the duration of this war. A relationship between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia is important due to its location and resources. That being said, trading firearms and bombs shouldn’t be necessary to withhold their relationship. The U.S. government needs to realize the human casualties Americanmade missiles have brought to innocent Yemen civilians and conclude the sale of weapons to Saudi Arabia isn’t fundamental. If Congress believes the sale of weapons is more important than human casualties, regulations on where and how American-made weapons are used by Saudi Arabia need to be put in place.

The conflict in Yemen doesn’t draw a lot of media attention, but recently with allegations of the prince of Saudi Arabia ordering the murder of journalist Khashoggi, it’s started to get the attention of Western news outlets. Members of Congress are beginning to question why the U.S. is providing Saudi Arabia with weapons after this recent discovery. Allegations have also brought this conflict to be addressed by the U.N. and have caused countries to question the U.S.’s involvement. In August, American-made missiles were used when a school bus was struck in Yemen by a bomb, killing almost everyone on board. The majority of those killed were children. This raised a major concern regarding Saudi Arabia’s ability to launch missiles accurately. Saudi Arabia initially blamed the attack on Houthi rebels, until it couldn’t after a piece of the missile had an American serial number and was traced back to Lockheed Martin. Saudi Arabia has been accused of possible war crimes, and as a result, shares the blame with the U.S. due to the number of human casualties being breached during Yemen’s civil war. Yemen is also going through one of the worst humanitarian crises history has ever seen, with over 20 million people in need of human aid. With Houthi rebels blocking ports and countries afraid to send help, Yemenis aren’t receiving foreign aid. Thousands of Yemen civilians have been
The Breeze
In 2015, there was an uprising by the Arab Spring in Yemen, leaving the country to digress economically and politically. Shiites and Sunnis have been at war with the Saudi-led coalition since Saudi Arabia stepped in to defend the border between itself and Yemen. The U.S. and Saudi Arabia are known to have close ties when it comes to oil and military weapons. Yet, with recent evidence of the prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman, being involved and possibly ordering the murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi, the relationship could become strained. Saudi Arabia is one of the U.S.’s biggest customers when it comes to firearms and bombs. Currently, Saudi Arabia has been using the bombs created by U.S. military contractors, such as Boeing, Raytheon and Lockheed Martin, to attack Houthi rebels. Saudi Arabia has the right to defend its borders, as every country has the right to do. Where Saudi Arabia crosses the line is when it launch our missiles and hits innocent women and children in Yemen.

Barriers to be broken

Students with disabilities face both physical and social obstacles

@TheBreezeOp
MEGAN KLEPPER | changing perspective Geographically, JMU is a difficult school to navigate. The hills and distance between east and main campus make it almost impossible t o g e t a c ro s s ca mpu s i n 15 minutes without sprinting. These distances are even harder to cover for students with disabilities. However, the HDPT Paratransit is a wheelchair accessible public transportation system that’s free to JMU students. This transportation operates during the same times as the HDPT so students don’t have to worry about being late for classes. However, students must call at least 24 hours in advance to schedule their pickup. JMU also has an online form that students and faculty members can fill out to report accessibility barriers. These barriers could include a broken elevator or wheelchair lift, objects blocking a ramp to a building or certain weather conditions. People can report their concerns anonymously or leave their name and number. There’s also a comment
box where the student or professor can explain the exact location or problem they’re facing. HDPT and the accessibility barriers forms aid in the physical obstacles on campus, but the social barriers are still a work in progress. In the past, individuals with disabilities were referred to as “morons” or “imbeciles” because people didn’t understand them. Even though the terminology has changed — people are referred to as someone with a disability rather than “disabled” — society still has difficulty communicating with those who are disabled. These people fear that they’ll offend the person or make them upset. The conversations are, therefore, awkward and often short, if they even take place. There are plenty of resources online that give tips for communicating with someone who’s disabled. Most of these tips include speaking to the person rather than their service provider or treating people the age that they are. As one continues to read more tips on communication, they’ll also realize the tips are basic forms of communication and manners. When speaking to anyone, eye contact and proper engagement are expected, so that doesn’t need to change when speaking to someone with a disability.
JMU’s hilly campus is an obstacle for students with disabilities. Stairs and non-automatic doors also serve as physical hazards.

OPINION
A great way to understand disability is to learn about it. JMU offers a disability studies minor in which students examine and analyze how disability is defined and constructed in society. Students can also strengthen their knowledge on disabilities by applying it to different political, rhetorical and medical frameworks. This minor would not only help students in their future careers, but in their civic lives as well. Disability Awareness Week (DAW), which takes place from March 25-29, is put on by JMU’s Office of Disability Services to promote knowledge and understanding of disability throughout JMU’s campus. This week is full of panel discussions, keynote speakers and film screenings. DAW is a great opportunity to educate oneself about disabilities and their impact of those locally and globally.
In recent years, there’s been an increase in awareness and a decrease in ignorance. People have stopped using the once popular word “retard” in a negative way and have began to understand that certain words have a specific meaning and shouldn’t be used to call someone dumb. Students need to realize that students with disabilities are students first and people with disabilities are people first. Education leads to a greater understanding of ways to communicate and ways to accept people for who they are. Megan Klepper is a junior, writing, rhetoric and technical communication major.

What drops in
Speculated and anticipated albums to look forward to By JULIAN DENIZARD The Breeze
2018 was an interesting and exciting year for music fans of all types. No matter what genre of music you listen to, everyone saw remarkable album releases from mainstream and underground artists alike. As 2019 kicks off, the hope for many more hit albums looms. In no particular order, here’s a handful of artists with albums that are confirmed or speculated to be releasing new, full-length material in 2019.
James Blake Singer-songwriter James Blake announced in late 2018 that he’d be embarking on a North American tour in February and March of 2019, which prompted fans to start speculating if new music was on the way. After Blake teased new material with Andre 3000 at a Brooklyn show and Amazon Music accidently leaked the title, tracklist and features for the new project, “Assume Form” was confirmed to be the next James Blake album. It’ll be his fourth studio project and will include features such as Metro Boomin, Travis Scott and Rosalía. Fans can expect the record on Friday.
Childish Gambino Multi-talented artist Donald Glover, under the name of Childish Gambino, recently finished his “This Is America” tour on Dec. 17. While on tour, both music publications and fans burst onto social media with the news that Gambino had been performing never-before-heard music during each set. Before the tour had even begun, Gambino had been hinting at the idea of his new project being the last musical endeavor of his career. With him also announcing that the tour was indeed his last, fans have been gearing up for his next studio album. No title or release date is in the works, but we can be sure to expect new music from Gambino sooner rather than later.
ScHoolboy Q It has been roughly two-and-a-half years since Top Dawg Entertainment rapper ScHoolboy Q released his fourth studio album titled “Blank Face LP.” Since its release, Top Dawg has seen massive success as a label, with albums such as Kendrick Lamar’s “DAMN.” and SZA’s “Ctrl” receiving widespread acclaim on a worldwide level.
Ever since ScHoolboy Q claimed he’d nearly completed his next project in 2017, fans have had their eyes on what his next move will be. It seems they won’t have to wait much longer considering the fact that the rapper has announced via Instagram that he’s prepping for the release of his longawaited record. He’s stated in the past the album’s release had been delayed due to a desire to step away from the spotlight and the death of close friend Mac Miller, but it seems like hopes for new music have never been higher.
Kanye West In the midst of his incredibly chaotic 2018, artist Kanye West spent a section of the year hyping up “Yandhi”, which is set to be his ninth studio record and a follow-up to 2013’s “Yeezus.” After pushing back a Sept. 29 release date, he announced a Black Friday release date and then later revealed he felt that the album wasn’t yet completed. It’s safe to say Kanye has truly left his fans in the dark when it comes to this project. Various artists have been invited to West’s studio locations to take part in the creation of the project, but very little has been confirmed in terms of a track or feature list. Hopefully the
COURTESY OF TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE, CHUFF MEDIA
next news on “Yandhi” will shed more light on West’s next musical endeavor.
Lana Del Rey Singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey spent the majority of her 2018 contributing her vocals to other artists as features. This changed when Lana put out three singles, one of which titled “Venice Bitch,” immediately putting listeners in the mindset that an album may be on the way soon. Lana has confirmed this in interviews about the album’s lead producer Jack Antonoff, with her stating this record will be much more lighthearted and not as heavy as her previous work. No release date has been established yet, but the record is definitely in production. Hopefully by this time next year, these artists will have delivered us their projects and won’t continue to have us on the edge of our seats. Here’s to 2019; may it be a year full of fulfilling albums from all the artists we love to hear new music from. CONTACT Julian Denizard at denizajs@ dukes.jmu.edu.

Walking through the doors, the savory smells of a home-cooked Indonesian meal immediately welcomes customers. The soft lights and beautiful artwork covering the walls make the restaurant feel as though this is someone’s home. As customers open the door, they’re immediately given a sense of comfort that only grows the longer they stay. This is the kind of care Hotiman Ridwan, coowner and head chef of BoBoKo Indonesian Café, puts into his restaurant located in Ice House downtown. He and his co-owner, Mark Mitchell, are continuously trying to build a community around food with their restaurant. They purposefully designed its location to be small to create a more
welcoming feeling. Customers can see directly into the kitchen and watch their food be prepared, breaking the barrier between consumer and chef presented in many other restaurants. “This is our concept, because this is small, I would like to have an intimate setting so people can talk to each other,” Ridwan said. “Sometimes I walk around to make sure everyone is OK and take some like advice, you know, suggestions or something.” Growing up in Bando, Indonesia, Ridwan’s dream of combining a small business with food started with watching his parents. His father was a produce seller and his mother sold all types of Indonesian food. After attending school for hospitality and working a few jobs — from the Hilton to Toyota — he decided it was time for him to begin working toward that dream. see SPICES, page 17

Girl behind the ‘gram Social media influencer uses Instagram and Photoshop to explore creativity and self-expression
By TRACI RASDORF The Breeze
Waking up at the crack of dawn, freshman declared media arts and design major Natalia Seth ventures into a snow-covered forest. She wears only a white dress and can’t help but feel excited as she poses with a certain image in mind. With the clicks of the shutter and 10-second wait for the timer, the idea in her head comes to life as the perfect picture is snapped. Beginning as a 13-year-old following Photoshop tutorials by YouTube account Phlearn, Seth has now been featured by Instagram on its official account, which reaches more than 270 million people — a dream goal of hers. She started out by following Instagram accounts she was interested in, drawing inspiration from creators and photographers like Jimmy Marble, Wes Anderson and Tim Burton. “I stumbled on this account that had surrealistic edits kind of like me where it was a girl coming out of frame,” Seth said. “I stalked her trying to find out what apps she used and what camera. Then I used my mom’s iPhone 4S self-timer and like stick it against the wall and run and pose.” Once she started posting these, she became a part of what she says was a tightknit community of Instagram editors. As the community grew, so did her following. The
evolution of her camera equipment ranged from a simple point and shoot to a DSLR. As the face behind @escapingyouth on Instagram, Seth says she’s always had a flare for being imaginative and creative. “I really like the idea of youth and keeping youth within us,” Seth said. “As we grow up it seems to dissipate, and we have trouble finding our imagination. When we were young, we could think outside the box really easily, and that’s why when you ask kids, they always have the most innocent answers.” Today, Seth’s creative process of taking the image in her mind and turning it into a digital photo begins by looking through countless Pinterest pages and other artists’ work for ideas. She also describes finding ideas in a dream state, just before she falls asleep, and waking herself up to write them down before she forgets. Often, she draws out a concept in her sketchbook — inspired by everyday life — and asks herself, “How can I turn this into something weird?” “Her ideas are so crazy and so unique,” Rhea Tanamala, a childhood friend of Seth’s, said. “Her art style is impulsive and it’s amazing like that. No one else really thinks through it or is as spontaneous as her. She’ll see a photo opportunity and she’ll take it, no questions asked.” This past year, Seth attended Adobe MAX, an annual event held by Adobe to promote its latest releases. She was able to take a class
with and finally meet her favorite childhood influencers: the creatives behind Phlearn. Now, she’s collaborating with them to create videos for YouTube about the process behind editing her own photos. Since she’s been so enthusiastic about her work from a young age, Seth admits she wasn’t sure if college was the path she wanted to take. “A lot of creatives in my field I know, like I met at Adobe MAX, didn’t go to college,” Seth said. “Or they went to college for finance or something and ended up doing videography. I didn’t want to do something I didn’t think I’d do later in life.” She says her father influenced her decision to attend JMU because of the creative advertising concentration in media arts and design. Since she often works with different brands through Instagram, she knew it was a good fit for her. Though still in the application process, she says she’s eager to find out more about the program so she can continue to grow her skills in the field. With this goal in mind, Seth says she accepts the challenging task of finding a balance between her passion, school and everyday life. As for the Instagram fame, Seth was initially overwhelmed by the sudden number of people following her art. But, she finds more positivity within her community of followers than negativity. Since she works
with so many models and creatives through Instagram collaborations, Seth expresses that it’s a surreal experience to meet them in person for the first time. “In the beginning, she wouldn’t have a lot of models because she was just starting out, so I would model for her,” Jun Luu, another childhood friend of Seth’s, said. “She’s always very real, like a normal person and I love that about her. It’s amazing what she makes, but it’s also amazing how much time and commitment she’s put into all her work.” For her latest project, Seth is working with a company called Thought Catalog, an online magazine that helps creative writers voice their thoughts, to release a photo book this upcoming year. In 2017, Thought Catalog also worked with Instagram influencer Brandon Woelfel, whom Seth has also become friends with through Instagram, to create a similar book. “I want to do something that’s super interactive so the reader’s not just flipping through,” Seth said. “The book is going to be adventure, dreamscapes, different worlds. I’ve been working on it so hard so I’m really excited.” CONTACT Traci Rasdorf at rasdortl@dukes.jmu. edu.

Ridwan moved to Harrisonburg 18 years ago and worked in a restaurant while trying to take time to learn about the area. He got to know the city and its people in an attempt to better understand what kind of restaurant they’d like. “It seems like small city, but it’s very diverse,” Ridwan said. “And at the time, I first found if they like Vietnamese food, or Thai … hey, why not Indonesian?” He had the dream, now all he needed was the business plan. This is where Mitchell came into the picture. Mitchell, who has lived in Harrisonburg for over 40 years, met Ridwan at a friend’s dinner party in 2002. They both wanted to open their own small business, but Mitchell wasn’t as particular about what his would be, so he joined in with Ridwan to help realize his restaurant dream. They got their business started in 2016 through a competition hosted by the Shenandoah Valley Small Business Development Center called “What’s Cooking.” It allowed aspiring business owners to come and pitch their idea to a panel of judges. The winner received funding and help with starting the business. “We wanted to build a community around food: keep it small, have an open kitchen,” Mitchell said. “We presented that concept, with the small space, open kitchen and menu, the number of employees, and we actually won. So, that kind of gave us the confidence to go ahead and take the next step.” Ridwan gets his ingredients from Dayton Wayside Produce and occasionally from a farmers’ market in downtown Harrisonburg in the summer. Any other small things he needs he gets from the grocery store. Despite their success in the industry, Ridwan
expressed that he and Mitchell have no interest in expanding. “It’s not about that, it’s about doing what I love to do,” Ridwan said. “I’m not planning to expand or open somewhere else. This is good enough for me. It’s small and manageable. Besides, I’ve worked in bigger restaurants before and this is kind of like what I wanted.” To Ridwan, the success of his restaurant is based on the customer experience. He has many loyal customers, and some even come in once or twice a week. One customer in particular, Amy Dahan, comes all the way up from Stewart, Florida two or three times a year. She always makes it a priority to visit BoBoKo. “Well, I’m looking for a second home, and as we’re looking in the Shenandoah Valley, the restaurant scene is really important and BoBoKo is one of the best places,” Dahan said. “So, when I look at real estate on realtor.com, I say, ‘How far is it from BoBoKo? Can I walk?’” Ridwan’s love for his job and his customers makes even the longest days a joy. He and Mitchell imagined this restaurant 10 years ago, and now it’s finally a reality. “Some of [the customers] have actually become [my] friend outside of the job,” Ridwan said. “And that’s [a] nice thing: add more people into my life. I do love just working with the food, and [making] people happy and the most rewarding things, like when people dine with us and just pop up their head [and say] thank you so much, it was good ... I feel happy about it.”

‘You can’t have five Batmans’ When junior guard Kamiah Smalls — the team’s leading scorer — was asked in early December whether Benitez’s scoring presence has compensated for the lack of shooting from Reynolds, her answer was refreshingly honest. “Nope,” Smalls said. “I still want Logan to shoot. She can start any time she wants, maybe she’s waiting for CAA [play].” The Dukes are undefeated through four CAA games, and it’s not because Reynolds is shooting more. Reynolds has accounted for 12 of JMU’s 280 points in that span with an efficient 6-for-12 shooting mark. But make no mistake, Reynolds has impacted those games — she has 22 assists and just two turnovers in conference play so far. “I’ve never judged Logan by shots, and I have no interest in [doing so],” O’Regan said. “Part of running the show is being aggressive in creating shots. If she’s trying to get into the lane, and they’re hugging Jackie and hugging Kamiah, now you’ve got to shoot that shot.” Reynolds said fans shouldn’t expect her to score more as the season progresses. However, she reiterated her coach’s sentiment that if opponents double team Smalls, she’ll step up and knock down shots. “I know my role, I know when and when not to shoot,” Reynolds said. “I pick and choose when I score and I shoot … it’s timely.” JMU’s offense is clicking without Reynolds going out of her way to fill the stat sheet. The Dukes have improved from last season in points per game (+2.8), scoring margin (+8.9), field goal percentage (+1.4) and 3-point percentage (+10.2). “You can’t have five Batmans,” O’Regan said. “For somebody that’s that unselfish and really
Numbers do lie. If someone watched JMU women’s basketball from a distance this season, they may note senior guard Logan Reynolds isn’t scoring. As the team’s primary distributor, she’s sacrificed shots and taken a backseat in the points column as she drives the offense to its best record (12-3) since the 2014-15 season. “Whenever I need to score, I will score,” Reynolds said. “My role as a point guard is to facilitate. If everyone’s feelin’ it, I’m gonna give the people that are feelin’ it the ball.” As a freshman, Reynolds took 109 shots — 41 were 3-pointers, which she shot at a team-high 41 percent — and as a sophomore, she shot just 134 times despite playing nearly seven more minutes per game. This year, she’s on pace to shoot just 68 times and has taken only one shot from behind the arc. “I’d like her to shoot it, but it’s not a necessary thing for me,” head coach Sean O’Regan said. “I just want her to be comfortable in her game. I know Logan’s a capable shooter, but she doesn’t feel the need to shoot 10 shots.” Redshirt junior guard Jackie Benitez has provided a scoring pop off the bench in her first season with JMU after transferring from Siena. She’s second on the team in points per game (10.9) and shot attempts per game (11.2), while leading the team in 3-point attempts per game (8.3). Despite Benitez’s contributions, some on the team still want Reynolds to be more aggressive.
Reynolds had zero points, four assists and one steal in 22 minutes in the Dukes’ 84-49 win over Northeastern on Sunday.

wants to run the show and takes pride in her assist-to-turnover ratio (3.38:1 this season), that to me is as important.” Stat sheets and numbers alone can’t paint a perfect picture of how players affect the game. It’s clear Smalls — who’ll be in the discussion to receive her second-straight CAA Player of the Year award — is a key player for JMU, but less obvious from a glance that Reynolds plays a critical role. Before conference play, Smalls said — passionately as usual — she’d love for Reynolds to take more chances. “Logan is very aggressive and is capable of a lot of things offensively,” Smalls said in December.
“When she starts to believe that, we’re going to be a complete team.” Smalls is right: JMU is starting to look like a complete team, especially after a 35-point win over Northeastern (12-3, 2-2 CAA) on Sunday. However, for JMU to reach its goal of winning a CAA title, Reynolds doesn’t think she needs to take over games offensively. Rather, she stays true to form and continue to silently turn dimes into Ws.

TREVOR COCKBURN / THE BREEZE
Sophomore guard Alex Schulz didn’t play competitive basketball until his senior year of high school.
Sophomore forward Alex Schulz runs down the ramp onto the court at the Convocation Center along with the rest of the JMU men’s basketball team. The Dukes start their pregame layup lines and a few players dunk the ball — Schulz is one of them. Every time he slams the ball home, the entire basket shakes for a few seconds. When the game begins, he finds himself on the bench with a smile, ready to cheer on his team. Schulz stands at 6-feet-11-inches and didn’t play basketball competitively until his senior year of high school. He wasn’t a highly rated recruit, nor was he a prototype that head coach Louis Rowe thought he could work with. But Schulz was a player who loved the game and wanted to play beyond high school. For seniors in high school, the decision of what to do once graduation comes looms large. Schulz’s choice, however, wasn’t where he was going to play basketball — it was where he was going to study. “I came here academically,” Schulz said. “I love this school. I visited here and at Virginia Tech, and I liked this school better than Tech.”
While Schulz had already planned on attending JMU, his journey to the basketball team came with help from his mom. Rowe was on the 2016 Coaches Tour when Schulz’s mom came up to him and starting talking about her son. “[Schulz’s mom] said, ‘I have a son that’s a little bit shy, but I would love for him to be a walk-on,’ and out walks Alex,” Rowe said. “I told her, ‘If this guy, on the first day of school, walks in my office, I’ll find a way to put him on the team.’ Sure enough, the first day of school in the fall, he walks in my office and says ‘Coach, do you remember me?’ I told him, ‘Dude, you’re 6’11, I could never forget you.’” Schulz is currently pursuing a business degree but says he’s thought about coaching. Learning from Rowe and the assistants has helped him plan what he can do if he decides to become a basketball coach. In his first season, Schulz appeared in one game. This year, he’s made three appearances, scoring four total points. While he may not get consistent minutes, Schulz brings a contagious, confident attitude that this young Dukes team needs.

With 14 ‘kids’ at JMU and two at home, O’Regan coaches on and off the court

O’Regan has a record of 61-23 as the JMU head coach.
When coaches are hired at JMU, they’re not only expected to bring in accolades and championships, but they’re also held to the standard of creating a culture that captures what being a Duke is all about. For JMU women’s basketball head coach Sean O’Regan, that culture is being a family to find success on the hardwood. Building an environment that meets the standards set by JMU and its fans doesn’t come in a day, nor does it come by saying the team is something that it may not be; it’s built by setting an example on a daily basis, even off the court. No day in the life of a Division-I head coach is the same as another. One may consist of figuring out travel accommodations, while the next is spent preparing for an upcoming opponent. Every coach experiences twists and turns, but staying consistent and maintaining a solid routine helps O’Regan keep a one-way road to success. “I wake up, eat, take my kids to school, come in [the Convocation Center] and work out,” O’Regan said. “If it’s, say, Wednesday, we’ll probably go right to watching [film], plan practice and figure out what we need to prepare for … Generally, at least I try to, from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., I get on the phone with
recruits, parents or coaches.” When the time comes, O’Regan leaves the Convocation Center and enters his role as a different kind of coach. Coming home to his wife and two kids gives him time to think about things other than basketball. “I do a pretty good job of this,” O’Regan said. “From 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., I shut it down, go home and try to eat dinner with my family and not get on the phone. As soon as I get my kids to sleep, I start watching [film]. This week, it’s UNCW, so I’ll watch them from 8:30 p.m. until sometimes 11 p.m., sometimes 1 a.m.” What goes beyond the Xs and Os of being a coach is making sure each player is both physically and mentally healthy. While the majority of his everyday tasks are to make sure the game plan is in place, he also has to show the players he cares. He doesn’t get mad at his players, but when they make mistakes, he turns them into lessons. “He’s always on 24/7,” assistant coach/ recruiting coordinator Bridgette Mitchell said. “He’s really big on our players feeling good and being there for them.” At the beginning of every practice, O’Regan reads a quote to the team. He admits sometimes his players don’t understand the meaning of the quotes. However, junior guard Kamiah Smalls says his dedication to inspire his players is what makes the quote important. “For me, personally, it’s very big to me,” Smalls said. “He sits around and thinks about us — you don’t see that everywhere. Some coaches go home and say, ‘This is my home time, I don’t think about my kids that aren’t my real kids.’” Many will leave the office of their respective job and tune out the noise that comes with work, but not O’Regan. While he loves spending time with his kids, he
considers his 14 players family too. When the team goes home for break, he has every player text him that they’re safe. Once the 14th player informs O’Regan of their safety, he can finally relax. This is just one of the things ‘Coach O’ does to make sure his hardwood family knows he’s always there. “How can you play hard for somebody that you don’t think cares about you?” Smalls said. “He treats us all as if we’re his daughters … I don’t want to win this season more than I want to win for him.” At the end of the day, basketball is just a game. A coach’s biggest impact is what players take to real-life situations to better handle what life throws at them. If O’Regan had one thing he wants his players to take with them beyond JMU, it’s trusting people and caring about them. “I lead with my trust,” O’Regan said. “I’d much rather put [my trust] out there and get burned than to not lead with that. I think that’s a better way to live. Instead of going around with distrust and fear in everything … just doing that in their life and approaching every situation with a caring perspective. I just want them to be good people.” What O’Regan does off the court has helped lead to JMU women’s basketball success since he took over as head coach. In his tenure, O’Regan boasts a 61-23 record, has maintained the Dukes as perennial CAA favorites and has reached the third round of the Women’s National Invitational Tournament twice. No matter the goals set for the team, O’Regan and his family of 14 will try to achieve them together. CONTACT Noah Ziegler at zieglenh@ dukes.jmu.edu.

socially, academically, and that’s what makes me the happiest about Schulz.” Despite having a smile glued to his face, Smith says there are certain times Schulz gets angry. It’s not on the basketball court, it’s in his room, where he plays video games whenever he isn’t studying or preparing for practice. “He’s a loud person when he’s playing Fortnite,” Smith said. “He rages. That’s probably where most of his anger comes out.” No matter what, Schulz knows he has an opportunity many people dream about. Whether he gets his degree and enters the business world, if he tries to become a coach, or both, he’ll always be the player whose smile lifts the team. “I’m blessed every day to come to practice and hang out with these coaches and the guys,” Schulz said. “It makes it all worth it. It’s a joyride.” CONTACT Noah Ziegler at zieglenh@ dukes.jmu.edu. For more basketball coverage, follow the sports desk on Twitter @TheBreezeSports.
ALEX SCHULZ Sophomore guard - Served as team manager during 2016-17 season - Joined the team as a player for the 2017-18 season - Scored first point in first game against Bridgewater (Nov. 10, 2017)
@thebreezesports
“Alex is the kind of guy that creates positive energy wherever he goes,” graduate student guard Cam Smith said. “No matter what we do or what the situation may be, he’s always happy to be in the program and always showing support. We appreciate him and need somebody like that on the team.” Schulz’s attitude toward being a Division-I basketball player is one that players look at when something bad happens. Schulz loves the game, and being able to play at one of the highest levels is something he cherishes. While his role on the team might not be a starter or player who comes off of the bench, he knows what he can do to help the team succeed. “[My role is] to bring energy and to bring help when needed.” Schulz said. “I’m one of those guys that’s in the locker room going ‘It’s only 10, we’ve been in this spot before and we can do this.’” Schulz is the tallest player on the team, and despite his limited playing time,
Rowe finds ways for him to be an asset to the team during practices when the Dukes need to prepare for a powerful big man. Two of Schulz’s three appearances this season came at home, and both times as he was substituted in, the Convocation Center got louder than it did all game. When Schulz gets the ball in the paint, turns and scores, the Convo reaches new levels of cheering. “[Schulz getting in] is the most enjoyable experience ever,” Smith said. “Anything he does sparks smiles on everybody,” Smith said. “He’s just that guy. We love him.” The team knows Schulz has an aura of happiness, and that might be because of how much he’s grown since arriving in Harrisonburg. Schulz was once a shy high schooler who could barely look at Rowe to someone who’s attacked the opportunities given to him by JMU. “[My favorite thing] has nothing to do with what he can or can’t give us on the basketball court,” Rowe said. “My favorite thing about Alex is to see his growth as a young man … He’s really blossomed

Senior thrower Sidra Morris (pictured) placed her name atop the list of James Madison greats over the weekend by setting a program record in the weight throw. She threw a 18.10m (59'4.74") toss in the Marshall Women’s Classic on Saturday, which ranks as the 59th-longest throw in Division-I Athletics this season. The throw was enough to qualify for ECAC, if Morris hadn’t already qualified.
