Caught in the middle Faculty and staff look to potential provosts to ease their tension with administration

By COREY ALMEIDA and JEN EYRING The Breeze

A provost may be a student-centered position, but it was faculty and staff members who spoke up at the provosts’ public forums.

On Thursday, a crowd of about 80 faculty and staff members came to the Forbes Center for the Performing Arts to hear Jerry Benson present why he should be the next provost.

There did not appear to be any students at the event.

Benson, the interim provost, spoke about his experiences at JMU and his vision for its future. He said JMU’s strong liberal arts core and the ability to produce enlightened and engaged students are some of the factors that contribute to the university’s future.

But once the floor was opened up for questions, a tension that has been building between the faculty and staff and higher administration revealed itself.

“JMU has a history of unusually acrimonious relations between faculty and upper administration,” said Elizabeth Brown, a chemistry professor, after attending the forum.

“There’s an atmosphere of distrust and disrespect going both ways.”

A main concern contributing to this frustration involves how money is spent on campus.

Bill O’Meara, a philosophy professor who attended the forum, was shocked that JMU spent $36 million on the new athletics center, University Park.

“I was so upset with the athletic fields,” O’Meara said. “I just couldn’t believe it.”

Benson countered that when JMU students are deciding what universities to attend, they look at the overall campus and the different facilities available to them.

“I’m not saying that we shouldn’t be consistently looking at the budget,” Benson said. “But I am saying we don’t want to cut our nose off to spite our face.”

Several faculty members also brought up the issue of frozen salaries and lack of compensation for professors who have dedicated their lives to working for the university.

Faculty and staff members haven’t received a pay raise since 2007. They’re also facing salary inversion, meaning professors hired after 2007 have higher base salaries than professors who have been working here for more than five years.

Benson said this is an issue the administration has been working to solve, mentioning the three percent bonus faculty and staff received last spring and another one they will receive December. This bonus was meant to help compensate for the lack of raises.

Benson sees this as a sign that the administration is taking this problem seriously.

“I take those as positive indications that there really truly

is commitment here to try to continue to do something and move faculty salaries to the place they should be,” Benson said. “It’s not going to happen overnight.”

Benson hopes that the state can provide funding for salary increases next year.

“If we get some kind of salary support from the state, we can supplement that with some money from within the institution and begin to try to address some of these issues,” Benson said.

Benson added that if the state can’t provide the funding, he would like to work with the president and other administrators to create a faculty committee to address this issue. This committee would create a prioritized list of concerns related to salary that faculty members would like to solve. The committee would then try to find new ways to gain funding.

Benson explained that there’s a limited amount of money that funds JMU. If administration adds money to one budget, the money has to be taken from somewhere else. He wants faculty and staff to understand that it’s a complex decision to make. see PROVOST, page A4

MARGIE CURRIER / THE BREEZE

Plagued by penalties: Despite win, Dukes disappoint

By JOSEPH KUYKENDALL contributing writer

Though JMU racked up 42 points to outshine the Braves’ 3 on Saturday, the team was more concerned about a different number.

In total, the Dukes had 17 penalties recorded in the game (ASU-10, JMU-7). For JMU, that is the most combined penalties they’ve had in a game since they played Liberty last September and the two teams racked up 19 penalties.

Despite holding a big lead early, the Dukes weren’t making head coach Mickey Matthews happy.

“I was really upset how we played undisciplined,” Matthews said. “We had three big penalties in the first quarter.”

After a first down run by redshirt senior quarterback Justin Thorpe, redshirt senior offensive guard Earl Watford was flagged for a personal foul, pushing the current JMU drive 15 yards back. Ultimately, the drive resulted in a Thorpe interception hauled in by Braves’ senior Brandon Thompson in the ASU end zone for a touchback.

The frustrations with JMU’s penalties was coming from the fact that they were avoidable penalties. Of their seven penalties, three were personal fouls, one was an illegal block, and one was running into the kicker. Although a successful night for the Dukes on many accounts, the

Forces collaborate on crime

By ALISON PARKER The Breeze

Nearly 60 officers from multiple law enforcement agencies have teamed up to patrol the Harrisonburg City and Rockingham County Streets.

Working together, they caught four men who allegedly robbed three other men at gunpoint on Sept. 5.

Around 11:30 p.m., three men ages 18, 17 and 16 told police they were robbed.

They were standing outside a car on the 1300 block of Hunters Road when four other men approached them.

The offenders showed guns and demanded all of their personal belongings. They fled the scene in a car after taking a wallet, cellphone and money.

There were no injuries from the incident.

Lt. Chris Rush, Criminal Investigations Division Commander of the HPD, said nearby officers patrolled the area to develop suspects and caught the offenders early the next morning.

State police also had members of its Counter Terrorism and Criminal Interdiction Team help at various checkpoints. Officers issued three felony charges: hit and run, grand larceny and eluding police.

Two misdemeanor charges were given for reckless driving and driving on a suspended license.

District 39 Probation and Parole officers made house visits to people that had outstanding warrants, which resulted in five charges for marijuana possession, one arrest for methamphetamine possession, one arrest for cocaine possession and two probation violations.

penalties seemed to put a damper on the night in Matthews’ mind.

“I could have let anything happen tonight except those three penalties in the first quarter,” he said. “I was just livid over those three.”

All three personal fouls and the illegal block were committed in the first quarter in addition to an offsides.

Redshirt senior cornerback Ryan Smith said the penalties made for a tough start to the game.

“We started out slow,” Smith said.

“With the penalties, we were killing ourselves with the personal fouls. But

once we got over that, we got rolling.”

Despite the penalties, Dae’Quan Scott and the JMU offense found the end zone twice in the first quarter to put JMU up 14-0 after one. Scott’s 107 yards of rushing was the ninth 100yard rushing game of his career.

Scott showed off his athleticism on his 67-yard touchdown run. Earl Watford was able to get in front of Scott and open up a lane before running into another block.

“I just ran under him and saw someone coming from my right, [so]

I cut back,” Scott said. “I saw [Daniel Allen] down field making a good block and I ran off of that and cut back and scored.”

JMU played a penalty-free second quarter and was able to match its first quarter output and make two more touchdowns to take a 28-0 lead into the locker rooms.

At the end of the half, Scott limped off the field with a minor left ankle injury. see FOOTBALL, page B2

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The political conventions painted a vivid picture of a nation divided, a country in which it seems the only thing we agree on is how deeply we disagree.

The story lines from Tampa and Charlotte were worlds apart.

And polls back up the idea that it’s not just the partisans who attend conventions: A recent Pew Research Center finds Americans are more polarized than at any point in the past  years. With that has come more gridlock than compromise and politics less about finding solutions and more about casting blame.

As voters go to the polls in November , the choice will be between two nominees whose different visions reflect— or have helped shape — how divided we are.

Lead ammo threatens animals

Virus found in National Park

Cronkite News Service

WASHINGTON — The National Park Service has dispatched a top Coloradobased epidemic specialist and a Washington-based public health official to investigate the dangerous airborne disease that recently killed two Yosemite National Park visitors and potentially endangers others.

Some , Yosemite visitors who stayed in the park’s privately run Curry Village “signature” tent cabins since mid-June are being warned of their potential exposure, park officials said last Tuesday. The tent-dwellers are being advised to watch for signs of the often-lethal hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, caused by proximity to infected rodents.

WASHINGTON — Conservation groups have sued the U.S. Forest Service to get a ban on lead ammo in the Kaibab National Forest, where they say spent ammo is the leading cause of death of endangered condors.

The suit, filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Prescott, Ariz., by the Center for Biological Diversity, the Sierra Club and the Grand Canyon Wildlands Council, said spent lead ammo is poisoning condors as well as some other birds.

“Lead is harmful in very small amounts, so it doesn’t take very much to cause lead poisoning,” said Sandy Bahr, director of the Sierra Club’s Grand Canyon Chapter.

Religious tension in Kenya McClatchy Newspapers

MOMBASA, Kenya — On the Sunday morning after their church was attacked, forcing their pastor, his injured wife and their daughter to flee, a handful of the curious and devout shuffled through the ring of police outside, through the smokestained entrance and gingerly around shards of glass to take seats inside. Shock filled the hushed sanctuary.

The Salvation Army church had stood in Mombasa, Kenya’s second largest city, since before the country was declared independent in .

Regulars said they’d always maintained neighborly relations with the impoverished Muslims who lived around them. Now that world of harmony was as shattered as the

windows lying around their feet.

“It was as if there was a war here. Stones were flying,” recalled Herbert Kaduki, an elder of the church. “They were specifically targeting us.”

What now? “We still don’t know,” he replied despondently.

Kenya is no Nigeria, where Muslim-Christian antagonism dominates the nation’s politics and roils its hinterlands in fatal clashes every year. Kenya — with a booming economy and a strengthening democracy — is predominantly Christian and the relationship between that majority and the sizable Muslim minority has been mostly friendly.

But that veneer of tolerance was ripped open recently. At least five churches, including the Salvation Army, one in the poor Muslim district of Majengo were attacked during heavy rioting, local religious leaders say. Other churches have been attacked with grenades in separate incidents over the past year.

Man pleads guilty in gunfire case

A man charged with felony robbery pleaded guilty Thursday in relation to an argument that ended in shots being fired on Sept. 16, 2011.

Ashby Gladwell, 19, of Singers Glen, Va., pleaded guilty to robbery and was given a five-year suspended sentence.

Rockingham Sheriff’s officers said the incident happened on Koontz Corner Road. As the three men were driving away from the scene, they allegedly fired six shots.

No one was hurt in the incident, but a car was reportedly hit from a gunshot. The two other men involved have already pleaded guilty.

Venomous insects move into gardens on East Campus

At a ceremony on Friday, Gov. Bob McDonnell signed five bills that will increase the punishments against child sex offenders.

Sen. Mark Obenshain and Del. Rob Bell backed most of the bills and attended the event in Charlottesville.

The bills were put into effect on July 1. They include a mandatory life sentence for adults convicted of raping children younger than 13 years old.

Another bill requires university employees to report child abuse they witness at work. It also prohibits adults from showing sexual videos to children and will enforce stricter charges for offenders who sell child pornography.

Science students may find some uninvited classmates around the new Bioscience building’s outdoor-learning center.

Fifteen colonies of red imported fire ants now live on the grounds between the Physics and Chemistry and Bioscience buildings, according to Bill Wyatt, JMU’s public relations manager.

The infected area includes the flowerbeds and grassy areas between the two buildings, which border the concrete paths and new outdoor learning center.

Red imported fire ants are a reddishbrown ant originally from South America.

These ants aren’t native to Virginia but are common in other states, such as New Mexico and California. JMU has never had a problem with these ants in the past.

JMU posted a sign outside the Bioscience building warning people to steer clear of ant mounds last week.

“Anytime you have a pest or non-native species with the implications to 30,000 people in one area, it’s something that we need to take very seriously,” Wyatt said.

When irritated, fire ants can aggressively attack, bite and inject venom into a victim, causing a burning sensation. Painful red stings form on the bite area, which turn into fluid-filled sores within 24 to 48 hours, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The CDC recommends that anyone who is bitten take antihistamines to relieve symptoms. Serious allergic reactions like nausea, hives, panic attacks or shortness of breath are rare but can happen.

There have been no reports or complaints of fire ant bites from JMU students or staff.

The university contacted both the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and the United States Department of Agriculture to help manage and determine the source of the infestation. JMU’s

Madison College no more Every Monday, The Breeze will feature top stories from previous issues to celebrate its 90th anniversary this year.

Today’s feature is from part of an article in the Sept. 3, 1976 issue titled, “University status is proposed” by Frank Rathbun.

Madison College President Ronald Carrier has requested the college Board of Visitors and the Alumni Association to consider the possibility of re-naming Madison College.

The two most frequently mentioned names are James Madison University and Madison University, the latter including the subtitle, “A State University of Virginia.”

Both the Board of Visitors and the Alumni Association have informally discussed the proposal, but neither has taken any action at this juncture.

Charles Scott, director of alumni services, noted, however, that the Board of Alumni Directors “unanimously supports” the proposed name change. His office plans to conduct a survey of the college alumni regarding the proposal, and Scott expects their reaction to be generally favorable.

Speculation regarding the possible name change has been prevalent on the Madion campus for a number of months.

“There seems to be considerable support for changing the name,” according to a college spokesman.

Carrier reported that he has been approached on this matter by students, faculty and alumni. The overall reaction of these groups to the proposed name change has been “favorable,” Carrier said.

The president has asked the office of Public Affairs to conduct a survey of the faculty and students to the proposal change. If there is an early favorable response by faculty and students to the proposal, the administration would make the recommendation, Carrier said.

Carrier stated that he is “essentially neutral” on the name change, and added, “I am receptive to change and may be leaning that way. I think there will be a change.”

The ultimate decision on a proposal of this nature rests with the Virginia General Assembly.

Fifteen colonies of fire ants have built mounds outside the Bioscience and Physics and Chemistry buildings. JMU is working with Virginia’s Department of Agriculture to fix the problem.

Facilities Management is currently working with the Virginia Department of Agriculture to get rid of the problem, according to Wyatt.

Facilities management declined to comment on the issue.

According to Wyatt, much of the responsibility for mediating the infestation was handed over to the Virginia Department of Agriculture, which is currently making regular visits to the infected area.

“We have folks who are out there every day monitoring the situation, making sure the signs are still there and making sure that the colonies aren’t showing up in different places,” Wyatt said.

He said the main responsibility the university has at this point is to carefully monitor and ccontain the infestation.

Wyatt couldn’t say what the treatment

process is, but it began Thursday night and is expected to last for four to 10 weeks.

Terry Painter, owner of the local pest control company UglyBug LLC., said treatment for fire ants typically involves applying an insecticide called Talstar directly to the infested areas.

The insecticide takes about 15 to 20 minutes to start affecting the ants and is spread through contact between them, Painter said.

“Ants and most of your insects are social,” Painter said. “They’re constantly touching and feeling each other and grooming each other. So what happens is that they’ll start moving along and [the insecticide] will soon have reached the queen and the whole colony.” see ants, page A4

Paying the price for pets Students with animals may have to spend extra money but could be less stressed By evi fuelle and erica dodson The Breeze

Many students bring their furry friends to school for comfort. But they may have to pay an uncomfortable price.

The cost of keeping a pet in an apartment complex often includes paying an extra deposit and additional fees.

The deposits are meant to cover any damage their pet may cause in the apartments.

David Vincelette, who graduated from JMU last year, adopted his dog Finnick while living off campus during his final year at JMU.

Pet deposit costs Squire Hill Apartments: $200 nonrefundable deposit, extra $15 per month n Sunchase Apartments: $150 deposit, extra $20 per month n Copper Beech Townhomes: $300 nonrefundable deposit, extra $30 per month n

“Finnick was my first big financial investment, and it definitely does take a lot to take care of him,” Vincelette said. “Food is costly, and having a pet definitely changes the dynamics of your living situation because you can’t leave a pet alone for long periods of time.”

Some students may turn to the Rockingham-Harrisonburg SPCA when they’re no longer able to care for them, according to Candy Barnes, director of the Rockingham-Harrisonburg SPCA. The SPCA has a screening process before adoption to ensure students won’t return their animals later.

“We ask a lot of questions of students who want to adopt,” Barnes said.

“We want to make sure their apartments are pet-friendly and they have plans to take care of the pet over the summer and after graduation.”

Barnes said people who adopt strays off the street are more likely to give them to the SPCA when they can no longer care for them.

Although the SPCA doesn’t keep a record of how many pets are returned by college students, its total number of pet intakes reached 4,694 last year, including 3,360 cats, 1,252 dogs and 82 other pets, according to the SPCA website.

In August, 204 cats and 135 dogs were brought into the shelter, totaling 1,300 cats and 740 dogs sent to the shelter since January 2012.

The SPCA calculated that pet owners can expect to pay as much as $875 a year in upkeep costs for a large dog, and even smaller pets like fish cost at least $35 a year.

Grayson Negaard, a fifth-year communication studies major, adopted a stray cat who wandered outside his house.

Negaard said the cat, who he named “Shauna,” would beg for scraps of food. He said he felt more relaxed when she visited.

“I was more capable of handling

the stress of schoolwork whenever this stray cat, Shauna, was around,” Negaard said. “She would sit in my lap and help me study.”

Being around animals is psychologically beneficial, according to Colleen Tennyson, a Varner House psychiatrist who handles the Varner House

therapy dog, Francis.

“Typically students report feeling less anxious and more relaxed when they are with their pets or even reminded of their pets from home,” Tennyson said. see pets, page A4

ants | Infestation may be because of warm winter, new soil from page A3

In his 10 years working the pest control industry, Painter said he has only seen one other case of fire ant infestation in the surrounding area.

Although the source of the ants is unknown, Painter added that infestations are

most commonly spread by the transportation of infested soil.

In addition, Painter said this past year’s unusually warm winter has allowed ants and other insects to survive and overpopulate.

“Usually it takes about four to eight days below freezing to start killing a lot of insects

because [the cold temperature] gets deeper in the ground,” Painter said. “Last year it would just get cold for a couple of days and then warm back up. The soil actually never really froze that much.”

These men were charged in relation to Wednesday night’s armed robbery of three men on Hunters Road. from front

Sgt. William Keller of HPD wasn’t affiliated with the operation but said it’s a good way to remind people about the laws that are in place and need to be followed.

“You get in the routine of doing things, going to class or work, and sometimes people forget about wearing seat belts or go a little over the speed limit,” Keller said.

Keller added that it’s also a good opportunity to become more transparent in the community.

“We’re giving [people] more information on what we’re doing,” Keller said. “It’s a heads up on our enforcement plan. I think it’s a good thing.”

JMU Police Chief Lee Shifflett said he works with other law enforcement agencies on a daily basis.

“Criminals don’t know what jurisdictional boundaries are, so we help each other with manpower and information,” Shifflett said. “It’s all about the experience you can bring to solve a specific problem.”

He said the point of task forces is to assign officers to

cover specific areas of crime, like narcotics and gang activity.

“You have all of these people assigned to target these specific problems with years of experience,” Shifflet said.

“Is it going to going to stop the crime? No, but they’re better equipped to deal with it.”

Mary-Hope Vass, public information officer for HPD, said this collaboration among the police divisions will happen again in the near future.

Some studies have proven that pet owners made fewer doctor visits than those who don’t own pets, according to an article from the Los Angeles Times on the health benefits and costs of owning a pet.

Pet ownership is also likely to improve the owner’s fitness, as one study referenced in the Los Angeles Times found that dog owners were 60 percent more likely to go for walks in their leisure time than people who owned cats or who didn’t own any pet.

But Tennyson stresses the care and cost of a pet isn’t a small responsibility.

“Being the primary caretaker of an animal comes with many responsibilities and is not something that should be taken lightly,” Tennyson said.

Both Tennyson and Barnes

stress that students can reap the benefits of animal interaction without taking on the responsibility of pet ownership.

Barnes advocates volunteering for the SPCA, calling it a “win-win” because the interactions can also help animals become more social, increasing their chances of adoption.

Students can also schedule a visit with Francis, a Border collie mix who was rescued by the SPCA and now does animal therapy work at Varner House 12 hours a week.

Francis usually sees eight to 12 students each week.

“Francis works particularly well with students experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, eating disorders and posttraumatic stress disorder,” Tennyson said.

Vincelette said he was worried about how his

roommates would react to him getting a dog and if he would even be able to keep Finnick.

“I had two roommates at the time I was looking to buy a dog, and I didn’t tell either of them before I got Finnick,” Vincelette said. “I wasn’t even sure if I’d be allowed to have him where we were living, but I figured we could keep him pretty secret.”

But Vincelette’s roommates helped with the dog’s care and maintenance, and he said getting a dog was worth it.

Vincelette said relaxing with Finnick, who sports a purple-and-gold JMU collar, became something to look forward to amid the stress of classes and exams.

provost | Professors don’t think work is valued by administration from front

Dwayne Smith, another provost candidate, also had to address the tougher issues JMU faces during his open forum on Sept. 3. Smith has been the senior vice provost at the University of South Florida since 2008.

His main concerns about JMU dealt with faculty research funding, more academic

opportunities like studying abroad, and course curriculum development.

Smith said all of these changes rely on funding to and from the university.

“In reality, I think there’s going to be two things to be balanced,” Smith said. “We need to make education affordable to students, but universities like JMU have to be able to afford to provide the education that

we wish to and the quality we seek to.”

Alan Kirk, head of the philosophy and religion department, attended the forum and responded with what he thought was the reason for the tension.

“For various reasons, they don’t think their work is valued, that the administration has other priorities,” Kirk said.

“That’s the perception.”

Kirk added that this year, two faculty members within the depar tment have approached him to ask for recommendations for positions at other universities.

Despite the tension, many people at both events appreciated that the provost search is such an open process and that the selection committee will take their opinions into account.

Faculty and staff are especially grateful because those opportunities weren’t available to them during the presidential search, a highly closed process.

“I think all of the faculty are looking very hard at what’s going on during this search,” said Gina MacDonald, a chemistry professor who came to Benson’s forum. “We’re very happy that it’s an open search.”

Alan White, the last provost candidate from Eastern Carolina University is hosting an open forum in the recital hall in the Forbes Center today at 2 p.m. More information on the candidates and search process is available at jmu.edu/provostsearch.

Provost priority

Despite numerous mass emails and multiple forums, students still don’t seem to care about JMU’s next most important hire: the provost.

Though Dwayne Smith held a public forum Sept. 3 and current interim provost Jerry Benson held one Thursday, few, if any students attended. Perhaps it’s because students are indifferent to the position, or perhaps it’s because students still don’t understand what exactly a provost does.

A provost is JMU’s chief academic officer. He or she oversees educational affairs like curriculum changes, class restructuring and department needs. The provost also works closely with college deans to create new programs that focus on students’ interests and needs, as we outlined in an Aug. 27 Breeze article, “Provost candidates narrowed down to three.”

If that doesn’t emphasize enough the importance of the position, let’s turn to some numbers. Former

Provost Douglas Brown was the highest-paid administrator at JMU, receiving a $225,000 salary — the third highest behind former JMU president Linwood Rose and men’s basketball coach Matt Brady, according to the Collegiate Times’ salary database.

Right now, JMU is in its “evaluation” stage of the candidates.

It has selected its finalists, Benson, Smith and Alan White, and is interviewing them on campus. The candidates are also giving speeches at their public forums. At the end of the month, President Jon Alger will interview the candidates before selecting the new provost.

You may think you don’t have a say in the process, but this position is meant to serve students.

The chair of the Provost Search Committee, Mark Warner, said the provost is one of the most influential administrators to students. That means it’s important for us to voice our opinions to the candidates and

ask what he can do for us.

We should take advantage of this particular search process as it’s so public — a stark contrast to the presidential search process held behind closed doors. Student leaders especially should pay attention and speak up. We applaud the administration for keeping the student body informed by sending out emails, providing live streams and archives of candidates’ speeches, and posting candidate profiles and résumés online.

So educate yourself. Understand what the provost does and know who the candidates are and what they do. Go to the final forum from 2-3:15 p.m. today in the Forbes Center for the Performing Arts and listen to White’s speech. Ask questions and take advantage of this opportunity to directly speak your mind. That might not be the case a little ways down the road.

If you’re a senior like me, you have mixed feelings about the additions to the dining roster this year. Mad Spitz, where I used to pick up gyros and falafel, is gone, along with Cranberry Farms, with its turkey and ever-popular cranberry bread, and the Starbucks in Top Dog, creating lines of biblical proportions in Carrier. Sure, everyone appreciates new lunch options, but how do they hold up to hungry students?

Cheeze Please

Cheeze Please is one of the new restaurants located in Festival. It replaced Spitz, much to my disappointment, because I really loved those gyros. They specialize in what’s best described as fancy grilled cheese sandwiches,

embellished with veggies or sandwich meat, each with their own cup of dipping sauce. You can get a sandwich and drink combo for a punch, or opt for a more expensive premium sandwich.

The idea is innovative, but it manages to fall short of my expectations with the menu. There are only a few types of sandwiches, and even though they put it together right in front of you, you’re not allowed to substitute or add any ingredients. You can choose to leave things off, but when the sandwich only has three or four things on it to begin with, that doesn’t always work. It’s a real shame when one thing throws off your otherwise perfect sandwich.

I’d be willing to pay a little extra if it meant I could substitute bacon for the

tomatoes on my Cali. The pepperjack cheese and guacamole are great, but when I’m really hungry the tomatoes just don’t cut it.

My recommendation: An Americano (American cheese, bacon, onions) with ranch dipping sauce. When is bacon and ranch ever not a good combination?

Flatz

If you’re really missing the gyros from Spitz, you can get a pretty close substitute a few feet away at Flatz, another new addition that serves hot flatbread sandwiches. see food, page A7

Letter to the Editor Empowering survivors On Sept. 4, students received the timely notification email about the alleged rape that took place in the 1400 block of Devon Lane. This email had a lot of students wondering what happened and how they can better protect themselves.

Rape is the most common violent crime on college campuses, and students in college are at a greater risk for rape and sexual assault than noncollege students according to the U.S. Department of Justice. The fact is that one in four women and one in six men will be sexually assaulted by the time they graduate college, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Rape and sexual assault doesn’t always happen the way it’s portrayed in the media. In fact, 90 percent of women who have survived rape or attempted rape have known their assailant. That is why it is so important to believe the survivor. It’s really easy to want to ask questions and try to solve the problem but the best way you can support them is to listen without asking questions and leave the decisions up to them.

Know what resources

are available in your area. At JMU, a survivor has a range of options to choose from. If he/she chooses to seek medical attention, Rockingham Memorial Hospital and the University Health Center are great options. They can also go to the Counseling and Student Development Center, Collins Center or Student Wellness and Outreach for support and counseling services. SWO has an advocate on staff who can assist the survivor in talking through options and following through with the decisions they make. The survivor also has the option of contacting the police or Judicial Affairs.

Campus Assault ResponsE (540-568-6411) operates as a student-run 24/7 helpline that’s open to anyone (not just survivors) for support, information, resources or questions.

Students aren’t immune to sexual assault, but as a community we must be committed to supporting one another and empowering survivors.

Food | Fair price from page A5

They’re a good choice if you’re craving a more substantial hot sandwich.

But there are only a handful of items on the menu, and about half of them, including the gyro, are premium items.

For the others, though they’re not bad, I can’t help but feel my punch isn’t going as far as it does at some of the other places. With few choices and no side dishes, I doubt I’ll come back often.

My recommendation: The Veggie Stack. With hummus, cheese and an assortment of veggies. Not only is it good for you, but it’s also delicious.

Red Mango

If you’re a coffee addict, you’ll have to get your fix in Carrier Library now, and brave a longer line to do it, because a Red Mango has replaced the one in Top Dog. But, it’s well worth it. Red Mango’s main dish is frozen yogurt but it also serves smoothies and milkshakes. You help yourself to a cup of frozen yogurt, and if you can’t decide which flavor to pick, then you can start by helping yourself to a cup (or two or three) of free samples.

Then you make your way to the buffet of toppings. Fresh fruit, nuts, crushed candy bars ­— if you want it, it’s probably there.

Their pricing system is a little intimidating, charging by the ounce, but if you’re worried about overspending, remember that the cups hold 12, 16 and 24 ounces and work from there.

You can only use Dining Dollars, but I found that the price is surprisingly reasonable.

The only thing I could possibly complain about is that I didn’t find any chocolate-flavored yogurt.

My recommendation: White peach topped with fresh raspberries and mango bobas. I don’t know how they do it, but this one is remarkably peachy.

Overall, the changes are nice but Flatz and Cheeze Please could use some work. Sandwiches are supposed to be the ultimate in versatility and variety. If you can’t tailor them, they’re just stuff on bread. And unfortunately, I can’t have frozen yogurt for every meal.

From one athlete to another

Colin Newcity redshirt junior goalkeeper Colin Newcity, the starting men’s soccer goalkeeper, is a redshirt junior from Harrisonburg. Through four games he has posted eight saves and a goals-against average of 0.75. He is coming off his first career college shutout against Temple University.

What is it like to be the starting goalkeeper for your hometown university? Rewarding. Great

to have a pre-existing, stable support group of friends, family, and former coaches and players from the area. And having my parents ... at practically every game is a definite plus.

What is your major and what do you hope to do with it after college?

PHETE (physical health education and teacher education). Not sure what I want to do right out of school, whether teach or do something in the scuba world, but most likely [I] will be teaching and coaching at the high school level.

Any special talents that not a lot of people know about? I’m a certified scuba

divemaster.

What is currently in your fridge? Lots of OJ and juices.

Leftover pasta, fruit cups, and pitchers of tea and Kool Aid.

Would you rather face a Leo Messi or Christiano Ronaldo free kick and why? Basically it’s a lose-

lose but would have to chose Messi, just because looking at a man Messi’s size is much less intimidating then looking at a man stepping up to a ball of Ronaldo’s size.

If you could be a star in another sport, which sports would it be and why? Beach volleyball. I

would get the chance to be an Olympian and my job would be on the beach — no better place to go to work.

How far can this JMU team go in the NCAA tournament? Some people

across the country will say differently, but we believe we can match last year’s season or do even better.

Head football coach Mickey Matthews introduces a Special Olympian to the crowd on Saturday’s Day with the Dukes. The football portion of the day took place at Bridgeforth Stadium and involved activities like stretching, running onto the field through the players’ entrance and field goal kicks.

JMU athletes, student volunteers work with Special Olympics for a day of activities

By Wayne Epps Jr. contributing writer

On Saturday, 48 Special Olympics athletes from across Virginia spent the day with JMU sports teams.

Jesse Tarr, a 2008 JMU psychology graduate and tennis player, started the first “Day with the Dukes” six years ago after approaching the Special Olympics about JMU. This year, the Special Olympians received a JMU chaperone for the day and spent time with the football team at Bridgeforth Stadium.

There they ran onto the field through the inflatable Duke Dog with the players, while the band played the JMU fight song.

After running onto the field, the participants stretched under the direction of head football coach Mickey Matthews and then broke off into various drills, where they could do things like practice kicks and take handoffs. Then, several players also stepped up to try kicking a field goal.

When the field goal segment concluded, the group gathered for a picture at midfield before moving to Godwin Hall to spend time with the basketball and soccer teams. They also were given the opportunity to meet the cheerleaders and attend the football game.

The participants at Day with the Dukes shared several accomplishments from

Special Olympics competitions.

“A lot of our athletes today have gone to world and national events to compete against athletes from all over the world,” said Jennifer Gordon, program and athlete database manager for the Special Olympics’ Shenandoah office. “Ian [Frazier], out of the 11,000 athletes in Virginia, was chosen as the Athlete of the Year for 2011.”

Frazier, a Harrisonburg native, presented university president Jon Alger and athletic director Jeff Bourne with gold medals from the Special Olympics and was featured in a short video on the jmVu board at the football game.

“It means a lot to everyone,” Frazier said.

“Not just [my region], but all over the state of Virginia. It means a lot to me.”

Paired with the Special Olympians were JMU students from the Psychology Service Organization and Aletheia Church. The volunteers were matched with the athletes, and given information on them before the event.

These students had the most interaction with the athletes as they worked with them one-on-one throughout the day. Some also accompanied them to the football game.

“It’s just an amazing experience to be able to serve along fellow JMU students and just give back to people that just get to have a special day,” said Malcolm Peace, a volunteer

with Aletheia and a senior psychology major.

Matthews and his players enjoyed interacting with the Olympians at Day with the Dukes as well. The coach had control of the microphone throughout the football portion of the day, keeping the crowd smiling as he introduced several athletes to the crowd, asking them various questions as they came up to kick field goals.

“Our entire football program looks forward to Day with the Dukes because it allows us to give back to our community,” Matthews said. “We enjoy it more than the Special Olympians do. They’re great to be around, our players really enjoy it.”

For redshirt junior wide receiver Renard Robinson helped out with the kicking and handoff drills, and also signed autographs for the Olympians. To Robinson, the best part of the day was putting smiles on the faces of the athletes.

“It’s a very special moment, because not everyone is this life is as fortunate as us, to be out here [and] play a sport like this,” he said.

Redshirt sophomore WR Ryan Dixon signed autographs and assisted with the field goal and handoff drills as well.

“These [Special Olympians] come out here and just have a great time spending time see Dukes, page B2

Dukes compete against perfection Men’s soccer looks to defeat defending champion UNC, capture second win this season

By Evan Nicely contributing writer

The University of North Carolina Tar Heels have two NCAA National Championships, six NCAA College Cup Appearances (Final Four), three ACC Championships, defending National Champions an ranked No. 1 in the country.

For the men’s soccer team, that seems like a tall task to overcome as the Dukes take on UNC (4-0) at University Park on Tuesday at 7 p.m. But if you ask any of the players, none of them will let UNC’s achievements affect their play.

“We’re going to try to use this as an opportunity to get everyone in the country looking at us again,” said senior forward Paul Wyatt.

JMU (1-2-1) is coming off of a Sweet 16 appearance last season and a preseason top 25 ranking. The Dukes looked ready to have another great season, but the results so far haven’t been what they had hoped for.

“There were a few of our games last year similar to this one, that people expected us to lose and we were able to pick up those results and really turn some heads,” Wyatt said. “We’ve got the same opportunities to do that

again this year and really set the tone for the rest of the season.”

Even after outshooting Temple 30-8 in their last meeting, the Dukes continued to struggle finding the back of the net and finished the game with a disappointing draw.

“I would be more worried if we weren’t creating chances,” said redshirt senior midfielder Christian McLaughlin. “If we just keep playing the way we’re playing those goals are going to come. It is frustrating the way it is but we just have to keep imposing our game.”

Being able to finish the chances they’ve been creating has been the main emphasis of practice in the week leading up to the game.

“We did it all week in different forms, different settings, and it has a lot to do with confidence,” said assistant coach Tom Foley. “We’ve been working on it all week and we just have to keep creating those opportunities and they will go in.”

That’s not to say that this team isn’t capable of upsetting the defending national champions.

“When you play a team like UNC, you have to concentrate on them as a see SOCCER, page B2

After a calm second quarter, the penalties continued in the third. A quick JMU penalty gave ASU a second chance to capitalize on a scoring opportunity.

ASU’s kicker Ernesto Santillan -yard field goal attempt came up just short of the crossbar. Santillan had one more attempt at converting the field goal, this time five yards closer because of a running into the kicker penalty on his first try. The freshman kicker split the uprights, and scored the Braves’ only points in the game.

Stephon Robertson, JMU’s leading tackler Saturday night with  tackles, knows that in order for JMU to take its game to the next level, it needs to cut down the free yards they giveaway.

“We just can’t give them those easy yards off of pena l t i e s,” R o b e r t s o n s a i d . “[Penalties are] definitely something to work on next

week.”

JMU had multiple quarterbacks receiving snaps for the second week in a row. Relieving Thorpe was freshman Michael Birdsong and redshirt freshman Lafonte Thourogood.

Thourogood didn’t make any passes or rushes.

JMU understands the road ahead is a bit more difficult than the previous two games.

“I think you can honestly say the exhibition season is over,” Matthews said.

Their “exhibition season” comes to an abrupt end as the Dukes travel to FedEx field this weekend to take on the West Virginia Mountaineers, a formidable Big- opponent.

The key to JMU mustering out a win will be its defense.

Having allowed just  total points and  total yards to date, the JMU defense ranks as the eighth best total team defense in FCS, referring to the yards allowed per game. If the Dukes’ defense can continue

to hold its ground Saturday against a hefty WVU offense, there’s a chance of an upset.

Stopping the WVU offense will be a tall task for JMU. Led by potential Heisman Trophy candidate quarterback Geno Smith, the Mountaineers put up  points and  yards in their opening game and have the second best total offense in all of FBS. “We’re probably going to play the Heisman Trophy winner,” Matthews said in reference to Smith. “I’m sure he’s going to put up big numbers this year.”

Discipline will be JMU’s focus this weekend, which includes limiting penalties. A lot will have to go the Dukes way in order to see them pull off the upset because, as Matthews put it, “There’s no question — [West Virginia is] awful good.”

whole with their quality and depth,” Foley said. “We have to play a great game, all  players and the guys off the bench, but I think the guys are up to the challenge.”

The most daunting thing that JMU will face is that UNC, as a team, is well-rounded and near perfect.

“It’s a little different when you play a team like this,” Wyatt said. “Not only are they a great team, but they have a great coach and great players that make up a complete team at every position and no weak points.”

Midfielder Mikey Lopez, and defenders Boyd Okwuonu and Jordan McCreary were named second team preseason all-ACC and are the cornerstone pieces for a team

looking to repeat its national championship.

Lopez is coming off a freshman All-American season and is a mainstay in the Under- U.S. National Team.

Another major threat is senior Martin Murphy, who is the Tar Heels leading scorer with four goals so far.

The Dukes will enter the game Tuesday without the help of sophomore midfielder Josh Grant, who received a red card in the Sept.  game against Temple University.

Under NCAA rules, a player receives a one game suspension if given a red card.

“He’s a very important part of our team, but in this game, when you have a player go out you have to have another guy in there ready to take advantage of that opportunity,” Foley said. “We’re a

deeper team than we have been in the past so it creates that opportunity.”

Despite the team’s adversities, the Dukes are ready to take on the Tar Heels and hopefully get their second win of the season.

“Three points is three points whether it’s against a nobody or the No.  team in the country, and we’re just trying to treat every game similar,” Foley said. “Naturally, players get up for certain games, and for this one we shouldn’t have to get them motivated to play, and we’re just going to do our best to get them prepared and hopefully they do the job.”

The Dukes play Tuesd a y n i g h t a t  p. m . at University Park.

Overall, the event allows JMU and Special Olympics to provide a fulfilling day. “[JMU’s] outreach is amazing,” Gordon said. “Our core values are respect, unity and inclusion, and with their help, we’re able to accomplish all of those.”

MOVIE REVIEW

At a loss for words

Graduate turns greeting card website into convenient Android app

Overlapping plot lines bound to leave viewers scratching their heads

By JENNY CLAIRE KNIGHT The Breeze

CALLIE TURBITT / THE BREEZE

By KELSEY NUNN The Breeze

One JMU graduate is making traditional card-sending a thing of the future.

Card-O-Matic, an Android app created

by Michael Mosby, a  graduate who majored in communication studies, allows customers to send handwritten greeting cards for about $ to anyone in the United States.

Although the idea started two years ago, the free app was released in the Google Play store on Aug. . So far, it has generated more than $ through about  orders.

“My mom always reminds me to send cards to my family members,” said Mosby,

who bases the company out of Houston, Texas. “One day, I started thinking to myself, ‘Why can’t I just pay someone to send this card for me?’ ” Customers can choose a card from eight categories (including birthday, graduation and get well cards), add a personalized message, a high-resolution photo from a camera, Facebook or Instagram and select a handwriting style — a distinguishing feature from iPhone’s card-delivery app.

“I know people always have the intention to send a card,” Mosby said, “but our generation is so fast-paced that it’s become a task to buy, write, stamp and send a card.”

Mosby and his team write all the cards themselves. Customers can choose from

five different handwriting styles, including “pretty,” “sloppy” and “legible.”

“A lot of old-fashioned concepts aren’t appreciated anymore,” Mosby said.

“Card-O-Matic uses high tech to have an old-fashioned task done.”

Mosby worked as an account executive for Konica Minolta Business Solutions but was laid off when the company downsized.

Mosby then landed a pharmaceutical sales job, but was fired.

“Instead of fighting for my job back through a different manager, I decided it was time to just move on and start my own business,” Mosby said. see APP, page B4

Making all the right moves A month away from a teaching certification, senior plans to open yoga retreat center

By RAVEN-TAYLOR BEATY contributing writer

Tree pose, downward-facing dog, cat-cow stretch and plow pose sound more like phrases you’d hear on a farm, not a yoga studio.

Taylor Evans, a senior biology major, wouldn’t mind either connotation, though. After taking a yoga class his freshman year, Taylor hasn’t looked back. Evans has invested $, in training session and now teaches at two local yoga studios: The Nest on South Main Street and The Center on North Mason Street.

But this is only a small step in Evans’s -year plan. While he’s been teaching for the last four months in Harrisonburg, he’s also been getting his yoga teaching certification at Down Dog Yoga, a studio in Washington, D.C., for the past seven months.

In order to get his -hour yoga certification, he has dedicated his time to brushing up on his teaching skills through weekly sessions, and studied yoga anatomy, philosophy and ethics. Evans is only one month shy from becoming fully certified.

“I have this idea of forming a community that is both interested in sustainability, sustainable food, local food, sustainable energy and a yoga studio,” Evans said. “It’s a sort of holistic idea of wellness.”

He has ambitions of opening a retreat center that uses yoga as a tool in introducing “wellness, understanding yourself and understanding others in this whole connection that we share,” Evans said. He also wants

to make his classes affordable, offering rates of $ per class and some for free.

Devon Sweeney, a senior philosophy and religion major who’s been teaching yoga for four years, met Evans their freshman year at an EARTH club meeting.

“I encouraged Taylor to move forward because I also started very young

and saw how much yoga teacher training can help one to develop not only their skills in practicing yoga, but also having a happy and healthy lifestyle,” Sweeney said. “Yoga is about giving back to your teachers, your friends and your students.”

While working on Avalon Acres Farm last semester in Broadway, Taylor experienced a community-based

program that flourished using handson interactions with interns and that instilled values of an organic lifestyle, like planting fruits and vegetables in natural pest-deterrent fertilizer.

Some words are better left unsaid.

“The Words” centers on struggling author Rory (Bradley Cooper) who finds an old unsigned, completed manuscript in a briefcase his wife Dora (Zoe Saldana) bought.

The manuscript is so good that he passes it off as his own and receives acclaim for it. When the true author, an unnamed old man played by Jeremy Irons, exposes Rory, he must face what he has done.

The Words 

‘PG-13’ 96 min.

Starring Bradley Cooper, Dennis Quaid, Olivia Wilde

All of this is framed as a reading done by author Clay (Dennis Quaid).

Clay’s reading recounts the story of Rory’s mysterious manuscript, which in itself has reenactments of the events of that story. Throw in a sub plot where an aspiring writer played by Olivia Wilde pursues Clay and it makes for a three-layer narrative that’s as needlessly complex as it is disengaging.

For a work focused on the brilliance of words, the script feels like a rough draft instead of the finished product. It’s a shame because it has all the right ingredients: an all-star cast, lies and deception. The expected buildup of drama isn’t there. At a short  minutes, the screenwriters had plenty of room left to add on more.

Written and directed by Brian Klugman (“Cloverfield”) and Lee Sternthal, the film is too ambitious and tries to cover too many themes at once: relationships, plagiarism, regret, fiction versus reality and lies.

Rory and Dora aren’t relatable as a couple and lack any personalities.

Saldana’s character feels one-dimensional and is never shown to have a family, hobbies or a job outside of cooking dinner for Rory. Cooper isn’t likable, and the film wastes his natural charisma.

Surprisingly, the best acting of the film lies in the recreations of the old man’s memories of how he came to write the manuscript. A younger Irons (Ben Barnes) and Celia (Nora Arnezeder) capture the innocence of first love, and it’s hard to watch as eventually their love story crumbles around them.

The film gives no clear indication about the timeline of the movie. It’s unclear if Rory lives with the guilt of what he’s done for a month or several years. If the screenwriters had made this clear they could’ve shown the effect of his guilt over time and how it changed him as a man.

This can be further seen in the unsatisfying ending that feels abrupt. It tries to be clever and not offer a cliché lesson, but instead feels pointless.

With poor acting and an even worse script, this is a movie that won’t be remembered, and certainly won’t have multiple people fighting to take credit for it. Words may have weight, but these “Words” barely tip the scale.

International flavors meet local food Festival brings in more than 80 wines from around the world

Part-time faculty Shameka Cathey and Tyechia Lynn Thompson sample local and international wines at Saturday’s Rocktown Wine & Dine Festival, hosted by Harrisonburg Downtown Renaissance.

By Mary Kate White contributing writer

This weekend, the Rocktown Wine & Dine Festival brought the world together under the Turner Pavilion on Liberty Street.

Harrisonburg Downtown Renaissance hosted the first Rocktown Wine Festival in response to the popularity of April’s Rocktown Beer Festival.

Over the past two years, more than 3,000 people packed into the Turner Pavilion to sample microbrews from all over the country.

“Once we had two successful beer festivals under our belt, people started asking for wine,” said Kelly Brady, an event organizer.

The festival, which ran from 3 to 8 p.m. on Saturday, featured all-you-can-drink wine samples with food pairings, a Jack Brown’s vendor and musical guests The Woodshedders and Chatham County Line. The rain gave the event a more intimate atmosphere as more than 600 attendees strolled under the pavilion.

Proceeds from the event went to Harrisonburg Downtown Renaissance, an organization that promotes downtown growth. Tickets were $32, with a portion of these costs paying for the wine and entertainment. The rest will be invested into future downtown events, according to Brady.

The wine list included more than 80 varieties from 11 distributors. Brock Kappers of wine-distributor Robin Cellars

was responsible for selecting wines for the event. He said he wanted an alternative to the Virginia-vineyards-only wine festivals that are so common in the area.

“The international vibe hasn’t really happened that much in Virginia,” Kappers said. “Of course, we want to include Virginia wineries, but also show a couple other countries as well.”

Kappers selected wines from Spain, Italy, France, Portugal, Argentina and some local brands. CrossKeys Vineyard, located in Mount Crawford, sold wine at the event, along with Bluestone Vineyard from Bridgewater.

Unlike usual wine tastings where bottles are available immediately, customers simply filled out order sheets for the wine that they will pick up downtown this week.

“No one had to worry about selling out of wine, so it was a more relaxed atmosphere,” said Kelly Mattran, wine sales manager at CrossKeys.

The exposure of local vineyards like CrossKeys and Bluestone also benefits other Virginia wineries that weren’t present at the event.

“There’s a lot of support within the wine network because people like to travel [and] wineries become destinations rather than competition,” Mattran said.

Wineries around the state — or even the country — frequently recommend each other to customers.

“Every winery has something different to offer, so once

someone experiences one winery, we can point them in the direction of another local winery,” Mattran said.

Each wine table featured at least four wines with one featured with a food pairing chosen by Alex Fitzgerald, former chef of Calhoun’s Restaurant & Brewing Company.

Small Vineyards’ Palama Negroamaro 2010 was paired with Carolina-style pork sliders. Avery Quinn Chardonnay 2010 was served with shrimp-heavy dim sum. World Premiere Wines’ South African Paul Cluver Gewurztraminer 2011 was paired with southwestern egg rolls.

Despite quality of wines both local and international, most bottles were sold at $8 to $15 a bottle.

“All the wines today are pretty value-driven,” said Bobby Flournoy, owner of wine distributor B&L Brands. ”Our featured wine [Rooilberg Chenin Blanc 2011] is the cheapest I’ve seen it anywhere.”

Because the rain deterred some ticket-holders, the more cozy atmosphere gave attendees like Matt Campo, a senior health administration major, the opportunity to talk oneon-one with the wine experts.

“I didn’t know much about wine before, but I learned about matching wine with different foods,” Campo said. “It was my first wine tasting, and it turned out to be more than I expected.”

app | Family instrumental in process

From left, Houston residents Marsean Bierria, graduate Michael Mosby, Tyron Mosby and Fred Miller manage Card-O-Matic, an Android app that sends handwritten greeting cards to anyone in the United from page B3

After searching the Internet, Mosby realized this type of online card service wasn’t available. He decided to start a website and test the idea out first on family members.

“I shrugged it off, thinking it was nothing more than an idea, but shortly became shocked when he put his plans in motion,” said Tyron, company networker and event planner.

Mosby said his cousin, mom, grandmother and friends were all instrumental in helping to get the process started.

Mosby recruited Tyron, Bierra, and Fred Miller, finance manager, as official full-time employees, who each own a quarter of Card-O-Matic. The team is currently focusing on creating an iPhone app.

Card-O-Matic “puts the entire card sending process at your fingertips,” Bierra said.

“There aren’t any limitations on this business. It’s going to be successful — just how successful is the question.”

Mosby plans to expand the app and website’s abilities.

They would like to eventually take bulk orders for weddings, businesses and holidays and create the option to include flower petals, stickers or confetti inside the card.

“The only thing that I’m as a teacher doing is … moving energy in people to have them create an experience of themselves,” Evans said.

Evans is attentive to all his students, so that at the end of each 60- to 90-minute session, they feel confident that they’ve reached a full understanding of themselves and their bodies.

This ties into Evans’ concept of conveying to his students that whether it’s through your

relationships with other people or through understanding yourself, everything is connected to your overall wellness.

Jana Walters, a kinesiology professor and yoga instructor, has become a regular member of Evans’ classes at The Nest.

“Even though we’re in this really difficult, complicated pose, sweating and breathing heavily, that energy is reaching toward something new,” Walters said. “In my mind, I can apply it to what I’m trying to improve on as a person.”

When it comes to achieving

his 10-year plan, Evans’ prime focus is on graduating with his biology degree this spring, saving money and building his student-based yoga community.

Taylor envisions a farm as the location for his retreat center.

“My general goal in life is to teach yoga, have two goats and grow my own t o m a t o e s ,” E v a n s s a i d .
