Harrisonburg supports small businesses via trainings, grants

By EMMA NOTARNICOLA & TYLER PALOMA The Breeze

Garnering over $52,000 in grant money, the Harrisonburg Entrepreneurship Development Initiative (HEDI) paves the way for what it means for a city to support its small businesses by giving early-stage business owners the opportunity to improve their entrepreneurial skills.

Harrisonburg was initially one of 20 southern cities awarded a grant from the National League of Cities (NLC) — an organization that works to improve cities throughout the United States by supporting local leaders.

The NLC originally gave Harrisonburg $15,000 in planning phase funds, Harrisonburg City Economic Development Director Peirce Macgill said.

Then, in February, Harrisonburg was further honored as one of 14 southern cities to receive the Southern Cities Economic Initiative grant support from the NLC for the implementation of the plans formed through the previous grant. This award gave the city $52,000 in funds, Macgill said.

What’s HEDI?

The HEDI program officially began in January 2025 and provides business training and direct financial support to local earlystage entrepreneurs. It does this through

weekly training and a $2,500 completion grant, Macgill said.

“People love to help startups and love to help booming businesses; but that one [person] who’s been in business maybe two years gets forgotten a lot,” Macgill said, “and that’s when most businesses fail — in those first two years — it’s the most critical time.”

Early-stage businesses, Macgill said, are defined as making $5,000 to $125,000 a year, with participants required to have a business license and be located within Harrisonburg city limits.

The HEDI program works through a partnership with Texas-based consulting firm Equal, where participants receive individualized coaching from a diverse group of business experts.

The program’s emphasis is on long-term sustainability and growth of local businesses rather than short-term funding, Macgill said. He added that he hopes the program’s effectiveness will show in future tax revenue and increased longevity of the local businesses.

“We want them to improve their sales because if they improve their sales, they’ll hire more people and sell more products, which means more fiscal revenue for the city, which is money for parks and schools,” Macgill said.

Where will funding go?

Using the funds from the planning phase grants, marketing for the next few cohorts, who will go through the program, are focused on improving outreach to Latino-owned businesses.

Partnering with the Latino Business Council, Macgill said the city hosted two focus groups to evaluate which spaces would be the most effective in garnering attention.

“We have a very large Latino population and a lot of businesses owned by Latinos, but their trust in government, for obvious reasons, is not the highest right now, nor do we know how to best reach them or how to market towards them,” Macgill said.

In the current cohort, 40% (eight) of the 20 participating businesses are Latino-owned. Marketing for the next round is expected to begin in October, with space for up to 25 businesses.

However, the effectiveness of this outreach is hard to determine, Macgill said, because statistics on the number of Latino-owned businesses in Harrisonburg don’t exist.

“One of the things we want to identify is [the number of] Latino businesses, which sounds like a pretty basic question that people would be able to answer,” Macgill said. “No one can answer.”

Working with the JMU Office of Community Development, Harrisonburg is compiling this data so it can better understand the demographics of Harrisonburg business owners, while also finding the best ways to help them thrive.

The implementation funds will go toward continuing the program and improving it for participating businesses, increasing the number of training hours from five to eight.

“Everybody wants the money. Who doesn’t? But that’s not where the value is. The value is growing your skill set and being a better business owner … These training programs are going to really help them,” Macgill said.

Is the program effective?

So far, the HEDI program has had 29 businesses successfully complete its training program and receive the grant money.

Since the end of the first cohort in May 2025, all of the businesses are still running and many owners said they feel they’ve improved as entrepreneurs, Macgill said.

One participant, Pizza Louise LLC Scruffy Bakes co-owner Maggie Bergen-Renalds, said the program was incredibly helpful in providing tips toward expanding its social media presence and engagement.

“[HEDI tries] to match you with somebody that is an expert in what you’re doing and what your aspirations are for your business,” BergenRenalds said. “[Our mentor] really helped us more with our social media aspect trying to get sales up.”

Having moved from Knoxville, Tennessee, Bergen-Renalds said she was very excited with the amount of small business support in Harrisonburg.

“They offered some programs like this in Knoxville, but not nearly as much as Harrisonburg does,” she said. “It’s the people who really want to help and really want to see small businesses thrive in the community.”

The HEDI program has also helped former Dukes enhance their businesses skills, including Rebecca Porter (’16), founder and owner of Holding All — a business that works to elevate artists in inclusive environments, according to its Facebook page.

At first, Porter said she was unsure about the program because of how niche her business

is. However, after being paired with a mentor who spent over 20 years in the music industry, she said she was pleasantly surprised by the depth and targeted help she received.

“I would have to put in a lot of work to even get close to working with someone at that level and probably also pay a lot of money to just have time or do one-on-one coaching sessions,” Porter said. “I felt like the help that [my mentor] provided was well beyond the amount of that grant program.”

Porter said the only flaw of the program was its outreach, adding that it might be difficult for some small businesses to find out about the program before its final registration date.

“Economic Development does a great job of trying to put the information out, but because of the way social media works, a lot of times,” Porter said.

However, Porter added that Harrisonburg’s strong community of small businesses consistently share resources with one another, adding that she encourages all small businesses to engage in this program.

“Probably the biggest thing that I love about having a small business in Harrisonburg is this culture of information sharing, resource sharing; people understanding that in order to strengthen our businesses to grow as a city and as a community,” Porter said. “It is really helpful for us to support each other in ways that we can.”

Through development of the HEDI program and these businesses, Macgill said he hopes to rejuvenate Downtown Harrisonburg, and it becomes a destination that attracts businesses to the Shenandoah Valley.

“You have a choice whether you want to be in Harrisonburg or not,” Macgill said. “We want to give you a reason to choose Harrisonburg versus an adjacent county or city.”

With this, Macgill said he hopes the increase in business variety will drive greater interaction between students and Harrisonburg residents

“JMU is amazing and we’re fortunate that the town relationships here are good but that’s also not true in most places. There’s just so much friction. But I think the city government recognizes that JMU’s kind of the foundation of the city,” Macgill said. “So we really need to do better to integrate.”

Bergen-Renalds echoed these sentiments, saying that students are a big part of the community and have a lot of influence with where they decide to spend their time and money.

Tucker said he and his family are ecstatic to be in Harrisonburg. He added that they’re embracing their new community and are excited to learn more.

“Even if you aren’t planning on staying in Harrisonburg, it doesn’t matter where your career takes you. You’re a part of this, this city and this community now, and I know that most people want to see it thrive and grow,” BergenRenalds said. “So take an interest in knowing what’s available.”

Harrisonburg Police Department (HPD) hired new police chief Joseph Tucker in January after a year-and-a-half-long search.

Tucker received his bachelor’s degree in public policy and pre-law from Liberty University. He was originally interested in going to law school; however, after having his first child, his aspirations changed.

“There was a time in my life when I wanted to go to law school, then my wife and I had our first child, and that quickly went away, because we needed the income to stay afloat,” Tucker said.

Ultimately, Tucker said he chose a career in law enforcement, attending Northwestern University’s School of Police Staff and Command and as well as a few “first-line leadership schools,” which was where Tucker trained himself as a police supervisor, according to the Virginia Association of Chiefs of Police & Foundation.

Tucker added that he’s currently pursuing a master’s degree in public safety at the University of Virginia to develop his leadership skills for the police department.

Tucker’s policing career started as a sheriff deputy in his hometown, Halifax County, he said. He, then, worked at the Lynchburg Police Department, where he rose from patrol officer to lieutenant, according to the International Association of Chiefs of Police’s website.

Tucker said he initially had no intention of leaving his job in Lynchburg; however, after he realized he was familiar with

Harrisonburg hires new police chief SGA debates term limits

By JAMYA RIBBON contributing writer

The Student Government Association (SGA) debated possible term limit extensions, approved $15,000 in contingency funds and heard a presentation from JMU Dining.

Term limits amendment

The SGA debated and voted on a proposed amendment that would extend Executive Leadership Team members’ — including student body president and vice president — term limits from one to two years.

The debate divided the Senate, causing the meeting to extend beyond the usual endtime and eventually call for a motion to limit debate.

Some members said they were worried allowing members to hold longer terms would lead to popularity contests and a lack of diverse ideas within the SGA.

Others pointed out that some people could be discouraged from running against a more experienced candidate or worried about the “continued dysfunction” from an incumbent leader, freshman sen. Naomi Mpofu said.

“I believe that the organization should place a greater emphasis on the transition of power, rather than continued power,” freshman sen. Brady Dunn said.

Mpofu agreed with this statement, adding that “leadership is the strongest when it is shared and when space is intentionally made for others to step forward.”

Harrisonburg and JMU knowing JMU alumni and knowing he could offer a lot to HPD, he decided to apply for the position.

“I talked to a couple of other people who knew me and also knew Harrisonburg, and seemed like a good fit for what the organization needed and what I could offer at the time,” Tucker said.

These feelings were solidified when Tucker ran into JMU’s new football head coach, Billy Napier, in a hotel during the interview process, he said.

While the interaction with Napier was brief, Tucker said he told Napier he was applying for police chief, to which Napier wished him good luck and said he hoped they would cross paths again.

As a college football fan, Tucker said this interaction with Napier was a sign he was in the right place.

Since, Tucker officially started his job as police chief on Feb. 2, he said he’s still adjusting to the Harrisonburg community, which he said has been very welcoming to him so far.

Tucker said he and his entire family are ecstatic to be in Harrisonburg. He added that they’re embracing their new community, and they’re excited to learn more about the city.

“Everybody’s been really nice and welcoming,” Tucker said “I haven’t had any issues at all ”

However, others, including senior University Services committee chairperson Abby Herbert, said they were open to the proposal, as it “doesn’t guarantee anyone a second term,” but the proposal offers students the option to launch larger projects on campus and form longer and more meaningful relationships on campus.

“We can move that towards our executive council and create more interaction with the student body and genuine and long-lasting change on campus that can be carried on for years to come,” Herbert said.

Other supporters of the amendment pointed out the benefits of having expereinced candidates running for positions.

“It’s okay to run against an incumbent,” junior Elections Commissioner Regan Lovell said “It’s healthy competition.”

From this, members suggested other issues could be at play, such as with advertising campaigns and lack of interest in positions.

“That’s not necessarily something that goes to extending the tournament for people to run for a term just because we’re unable to fill leadership positions,” freshman Sen. Benjamin Reeves said.

After a roll-call vote, the amendment was rejected. However, the possibility of further discussion regarding the topic was addressed by senior SGA President Charlotte Bronaugh.

$10,000 to Dogpile Music Festival

The SGA unanimously approved a $10,000 contingency request for the Dogpile Music Festival, hearing from members from EDM Club, Heavy Music Club and WXJM. The festival will occur on March 28 free to JMU students.

The festival will host a variety of artists from local and campus scenes, spanning across heavy metal, indie, pop and house music, senior WXJM Program Director Andrew George said.

Based on last year’s popularity — gaining more than 150 attendees and 70,000 interactions on social media — the presenters plan to branch out to a larger venue on Hillside Field, George said.

Additionally, EDM Club Coordinator and Technical Liaison Brennan Rusher added that the setlist has shrunken from 20 to 10 planned acts so that the group can focus on featuring larger headliners, which led to an increase in artist wages.

“One thing that we want to do is make sure that as we have higher quality and larger performers play, we want to make sure that we have a good reputation with them,” Rusher said.

The group also said they want to use the festival to support local issues and give back to the community, continuing from last year’s advocacy concerning menstrual product access. This year, the festival will raise funds going toward a local charity that aids immigrants in Virginia.

“It was very important to us that we worked with something in public immigration,” George said. “We thought it’d be good to do a community-based charity that works across Virginia helping immigrants, especially during this [political climate].”

Junior Heavy Music Club President Matthew Donohue said most members of the respective clubs, as well as some of the headlining acts, come from diverse backgrounds, further showing the issue’s importance.

Beyond that, funds will go toward merchandise and social media branding, Rusher said.

$5,000 to Music Production Club

The SGA unanimously approved a $5,000 contingency fund to the Music Production Club’s first ever “Amplify” talent showcase, which will take place on April 3 in the GraftonStovall Theatre.

Valley farms grappling with aftermath of January storms

By EMMA BROWN The Breeze

The January snowstorm has affected many people in the Harrisonburg community, but for some local farmers, the damages have been devastating, poultry and cattle farmer and Foltz River Farms owner Brad Foltz said.

A hay barn on Foltz’s farm collapsed from the weight of the snow and ice on the roof, costing him about $30,000 in damages. Because the hay was in the barn, Foltz said he’ll need to find a way to remove the roof and move the hay.

“We’ll have to find someone to build us a new [roof],” Foltz said. “It’s a big process to go through, it’ll probably take a year or more.”

Keeping livestock warm is also a challenge, Foltz said. He currently has a shelter and barn to house his cattle, and he keeps his poultry inside an insulated building.

Despite these challenges, the snow has benefited Foltz’s business in other ways.

“We sell a lot of hay; it’s been good for the hay business,” Foltz said. “Everyone’s buying more hay now, to get more feed for animals.”

Virginia Cooperative Dairy Extension Agent Jeremy Daubert said he’s also witnessed damage to dairy farms across the Shenandoah Valley.

The most significant he’s seen were about 20 poultry houses that collapsed due to the weight of snow and ice, which could cost over $1 million to rebuild, Daubert said.

Greenhouses, sheds and hay barns also collapsed throughout the valley, he added.

“With all the down houses, I’ve been doing disaster assessments, so we’re just taking a total inventory of the area [and we] report that to the state,” Daubert said. “I’ve been spending a lot of time just assessing damage on farms.”

Daubert said he personally knows how stressful the winter season can be for farmers, as he owns roughly 25 cows. Although he didn’t encounter damage from the storm, Daubert said the cold has added more work.

How animals were affected

Through the cold weather, Daubert said he must keep the cows’ drinking water thawed, as it often freezes in the low temperatures.

As snow and ice have covered the ground, grazing hasn’t been a viable food source for cattle, causing farms to rely on feed and hay, which requires more work to get, Daubert said.

Many calves on beef cattle farms are born during this time of year, and the cold temperatures make it difficult for newborn calves to thrive, Daubert said.

University Boulevard road work affecting bus routes, parking lots

By EMMA NOTARNICOLA The Breeze

Construction on University Boulevard is expected to continue throughout the year for a roadway realignment project, which has caused bus route changes and lane and parking lot closures down the road, with a complete closure expected on Feb. 24.

“The section between the Convocation Center parking lot and Carrier Drive is going to continue to see construction activity over the next few weeks,” Harrisonburg City Public Works Outreach and Communication Specialist Maya Waid said. “That’s part of a larger effort by the city that includes curb replacement, paving, storm water improvements and utility adjustments.”

With this new paving, the city is changing University Boulevard into a new two-lane roadway with a shared-use path and sidewalk to create a safer and more efficient space for traffic, Waid said.

“The main reason [for the improvements] is the increased traffic that the city continues to see due to … JMU’s and the city’s growing populations … [and] being able to have that corridor support more traffic as the city grows overall,” Waid said.

Harrisonburg bus schedules are currently unaffected by the construction, but route changes will be finalized in the coming weeks, Waid said.

The Inner Campus Shuttle (ICS) temporarily changed its schedules to reduce delays by adding a bus between Paul Jennings Hall and Festival Conference Center from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., with the other ICS buses maintaining their normal route, turning around at Festival.

ICS buses are scheduled to arrive at each bus stop every five minutes, including Jennings Hall, according to the Harrisonburg website. But, these new route changes could affect the arrival times.

“This change shortens the main ICS route by about six-toeight minutes, which helps buses stay on schedule and reduces overall wait times,” Alternative Transportation Manager Valerie Kramer wrote in an emailed statement to The Breeze.

With this, approximately 220 parking spaces in the Convocation Center parking lots A and B have been closed for the spring semester due to this construction, leaving 560 spaces in total, according to JMU’s website.

“Students who park at the Convocation Center are encouraged to consider alternative transportation methods to campus,” the website reads.

Construction is expected to be completed by the end of December, Waid said. The new ICS bus schedule will remain in place until the end of construction, Kramer wrote.

“[This] is a pretty quick turnaround considering that they’re going to be putting in that shared use path on the road,” Waid said.

As already seen over the past few weeks, this construction will continue to cause lane closures between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. There will be a complete road closure at Modular Hill Lane and Driver Drive expected between 7 a.m., Feb. 24, and 3 p.m., Feb. 25.

“We are going to try to keep the university as accessible as possible,” Waid said, adding, “The Convocation Center parking lot will still be accessible, Carrier Drive will still be accessible.”

Police department offers tips for safe driving

By EDISON VRANIAN The Breeze

Harrisonburg had 1,536 accidents in 2025 with 1,247 of those being reportable accidents — occurring on public property — Harrisonburg Police Department’s Outreach and Communication Specialist Juliana McGrath said.

McGrath said wearing a seatbelt while driving is incredibly important, adding that the number of seatbelts inside the vehicle is the number of people that can fit inside the vehicle.

While it’s convenient to fit as many people as possible, it poses risks and is required by law for everyone to wear a seatbelt inside the vehicle, she said.

“I know sometimes it’s cheaper, quicker and easier to just see how many people you can pile in your Uber. We like to remind people that not only is it very dangerous, it’s illegal,” McGrath said.

According to the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles, the law is House Bill 2475, also known as the “Christopher King Law.” That law required everyone regardless of age and seating location to wear seatbelts. It came into effect on July 1, 2025.

McGrath said wearing seatbelts while driving is “your first line of defense in a car accident.”

In the case of a car crash, McGrath said the severity of the crash determines what drivers should do.

She added that if nobody is injured, damage is minor and the car can still drive, drive out of the way to prevent impeding traffic, exchange information and call the non-emergency police phone number, 540-434-4436.

“If it’s minor, maybe a small fender bender, there’s not a lot of damage, there’s no fluid leaking, the cars still work,” McGrath said, “If you need help exchanging information with one another, go ahead and call the non-emergency number.”

An accident is “very serious” when it includes injuries, fluids leaking or pieces of a vehicle being in the path of traffic, McGrath said.

She added that these instances are when people should call 911, so the first responder can make sure the person is safe and the crash’s effect on traffic isn’t hazardous.

With Harrisonburg having a strong population of bikers and pedestrians in the city, McGrath said the police department asks the city to drive at the speed limit, drive defensively and pay attention to the surrounding area to prevent car accidents.

Bibliomania | Four bestsellers that inspired brilliant film adaptations

By SIXUAN WU The Breeze

To watch or to read — that is the question that has troubled many readers over the years. For me, who adores movies almost as much as I love books, film adaptations of novels have always occupied a special place in my heart.

But while some stories are better told visually, books usually gain the upper hand in capturing the characters’ complexities. And despite being a movie lover, I usually find myself more captivated by the intricacies of the written word.

From romance to thriller, here are four novels that inspired some of my all-time favorite movies:

‘Atonement’ by Ian McEwan

Fans of historical dramas will likely recall Keira Knightley’s signature green dress from the 2007 movie “Atonement.” Although the movie did a great job capturing the heartbreaking nature of a wartime romance, Ian McEwan’s original novel explored a theme much more poignant — the price we pay for our actions in our youth and the consequences of a well-intentioned deception.

In the summer of 1935, 13-year-old Briony Tallis witnesses a flirtatious moment between her sister, Cecelia, and Robbie, the son of a servant and their childhood friend. But Briony, being the child she is, does not truly understand the implications of that moment between Cecelia and Robbie, and her interpretation of the event leads to a crime that changes all of their lives. Years later, as the country is plunged into the chaos of World War II, Briony finally understands the consequences of her action and struggles to amend for her wrongdoing.

While the movie is a successful adaptation that features strong performances and brilliant cinematography, I was more fascinated by how the novel gradually revealed the truth and the consequences of Briony not understanding that truth. From the different perspectives at the beginning of the novel to the alternating lines between fiction and reality later on into

the story, McEwan utilized a series of tools to further the theme of deception, keeping me on the verge of discovering the story’s ultimate truth with every detail.

‘The Help’ by Kathryn Stockett

I’ve always enjoyed movies that narrow a national issue down to the tales of a few people, and “The Help” is a perfect example. The story takes place in 1960s Jackson, Mississippi, and alternates between three women — Aibileen Clark, a Black maid who has raised 17 white children; her friend Minny Jackson, another maid who’s had trouble with holding onto her jobs because of her spitfire temper; and white socialite Eugenia “Skeeter” Phelan, who has just returned from college and dreams of making her mark in the publishing world.

Together, these three women work to secretly write a book that shows what being a Black maid in the white homes of the South is like — a project that ended up changing their lives forever.

While the 2011 movie features many outstanding performances from a slew of actresses and a more streamlined plot, the book took that personal peg down to the next level. Each of the three main characters has a distinct yet equally heartfelt voice heard throughout the novel, but Aibileen remains my favorite narrator — she is kind, resilient and hopeful, despite the hardships she has endured. Her perspective is what makes the story feel most personal.

Through each narrator’s eyes, I felt how visceral their hopes and fears about Skeeter’s book are — which aren’t discussed extensively in the movie. The novel also addressed Skeeter’s struggles as an aspiring writer with more details and care — I felt her anxiety alongside her while waiting for the publisher to respond to her manuscript, whereas the movie made her experience a much smoother journey.

If you are someone who wants to learn more about an overlooked aspect of history, the power of endurance or how even small voices can come together to make a difference, “The Help” is sure to satisfy your appetite.

‘Gone Girl’ by Gillian Flynn

This tantalizing psychological thriller opens on the morning of part-time writing professor Nick Dunne’s fifth wedding anniversary, when he finds his glamorous wife, Amy, missing. As the police investigate further and the media frenzy surrounding the case skyrockets, Nick becomes the prime suspect, leading to revelations of who Nick and Amy truly are, along with some disturbing truths behind their seemingly blissful marriage.

From the alternating lines between past and present to the ominous soundtrack, the 2014 movie adaptation of “Gone Girl” hits all the marks of a stellar thriller. But for a story that dissects marriage’s many intricacies (some darker than others), one must read the book to truly understand the main characters, Nick and Amy, and the complexities (and illusions) of their relationship.

Gillian Flynn delivered a master thriller with two of my favorite elements crafted to their finest — unreliable narrators and countless plot twists that kept me guessing until the end. This book is infused with so many truths and lies, so closely intertwined, that it felt like being caught in a delicious whirlwind of schemes while reading it. I loved the alternating perspectives, the carefully planted red herrings, the sharp, witty language and, of course, the precision with which Flynn dissects the illusion of marriage. Cleverly disturbing and meticulously planned, “Gone Girl” is the kind of novel that makes you sick to your stomach when you reach its end — and in the best way possible.

‘The Price of Salt’ / ‘Carol’ by Patricia Highsmith

Patricia Highsmith’s landmark romance novel was no doubt groundbreaking as a piece of lesbian-centric literature published in the 1950s. The story follows the relationship

between Therese Belivet and an older, married woman named Carol Aird. An encounter in a New York department store quickly develops into a passionate affair, and Therese and Carol must navigate their love in the restrictive society of the ’50s.

I adore the 2015 movie “Carol” for many reasons — the cinematography, the soundtrack, the stellar performances delivered by Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara … The two stars beautifully captured the melancholy interlaced with knowing that one’s budding desire is rooted in tragedy, but there’s just something special about seeing their love bloom through Therese’s eyes in the book.

Throughout the novel, Therese’s voice is quiet, intimate and wonderfully strange. Carol once describes Therese as “flung out of space,” and Highsmith’s lyrical writing only highlights that ethereal quality. The book’s narrative style made it very apparent that this is Therese’s story — one about her timidly exploring a forbidden yet all-consuming love, along with the hesitation and sacrifices that come with that love.

I also liked the novel’s original title, “The Price of Salt” better(republished as “Carol” in 1990). I think that title nails the essence of Therese’s love for Carol — how, like salt, even the smallest gesture between two people in love can add flavor to life, and how one has to pay a steep price for that life-altering flavor, despite hardly anyone giving it a second thought.

Well Dukes Community Tables foster belonging in dining halls

By SAM WRIGHT

The Breeze

Making friends in a new environment is, to say the least, daunting. Doing so in the middle of the semester is even more so.

But tucked away in the on-campus dining halls are spaces where Dukes can socialize and get to know one another. Their name? Community Tables.

The Community Tables are operating on Wednesday evenings from 6 to 8 p.m. in D-Hall and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in E-Hall for the remainder of the semester, according to the JMU website.

The idea behind the Community Tables came from senior social work major Harrison Haynes, the founder of the Digitally Intentional Movement (DIM), said Paige Allen Hawkins, Well Dukes assistant director for Personal Well-Being.

Haynes’ goal with the Community Tables was to create a space where JMU students could connect and socialize without the distractions of technology, Allen Hawkins said.

“Well Dukes Peer Educators and Counseling Center Program Assistants help set up [the tables and the] games and trivia-style cards [for students],” Allen Hawkins said.

The Community Tables are designed to help students get off their phones for a while so they can connect and engage with each other, she said.

Freshman Alessandro Vavra said his friend group met people and formed relationships through the event.

The Community Tables were created to help students “feel a true sense of belonging at JMU,” Allen Hawkins said.

“If anybody wants to have a conversation with us [peer educators], if anyone wants to play a game with us, or just have someone to talk to,” Community Tables is a place for them, sophomore political science major and Well Dukes Peer Educator Audrey Nolan said.

She added that all students should be willing to try Community Tables because of the connections and fun that comes from spending time there.

“You can make a new friend or best friend, you never know what kind of people you can have at these tables,” Nolan said.

How to balance it all

By ALYSSA MILLER The Breeze

If you could only have two out three — your social life, your sleep or your school success — which would you keep?

Choose carefully. According to the “S” triangle, you can’t have all three at once.

What is the ‘S’ triangle?

A Medium article explores the “S” triangle. The phenomenon can be illustrated with a triangle that depicts the challenge of maintaining balance in college — sleep, social life and school success. It can be hard to balance these, and that doesn’t even account for additional student responsibilities, such as jobs or internships, on top of classes.

How to manage your time

Robert Gordon from American Public University recommends “[Setting] your goals and commit.” This technique can help you recognize your priorities and then plan your life around them. For college students, earning a degree is likely one of the top priorities.

“You will inevitably make sacrifices in your personal and social life during your academic journey,” Gordon writes.

Many college students choose to sacrifice sleep and prioritize their school and social lives; they feel it’s necessary to cut sleep to do well in other areas of their lives. Prioritizing your social life sounds fun, but it may cause stress because you feel guilty and are constantly thinking about your never-ending to-do list. It’s easy to put off an assignment to hang out with friends, but then lose sleep trying to catch up on schoolwork.

Procrastination can disrupt your life balance because you will most likely have to make a sacrifice at a time to get what you need to get everything done in time. The extra stress you may feel could have been avoided with proper time management skills.

Gordon recommends using a time log to evaluate how long you spend on each task to improve your planning and time management, and make time for breaks, which our minds need. These breaks present a good opportunity to fit in a workout to give your eyes a break from staring at a computer screen.

By TYLER CHINN The Breeze

After JMU women’s basketball secured its sixth consecutive win at Old Dominion on Saturday, the Dukes (20-8, 11-4 Sun Belt) now find themselves in fifth place in the Sun Belt, heading into the regular season’s final week.

Robinson’s

offense emerging in SBC play

On Saturday, junior guard Bree Robinson helped carry JMU past the Monarchs 87-53. She scored a career-high 30 points at ODU, which also marked the Dukes’ highest-scoring performance so far this season.

During Monday’s press conference, JMU head coach Sean O’Regan said he was “elated” for Robinson, especially since she’d been down on herself.

“She didn’t think she had been shooting the ball great,” O’Regan said. “It was awesome, even in the way she got it — it was her own style.”

None of Robinson’s points came from 3-point range. She shot 13 of 19 from the field and also collected four steals.

Robinson’s hot hand could prove crucial for JMU heading into the conference tournament. She’s scored double-digits in eight of her last 10 games.

JMU finds offense from defense

Heading into Saturday’s matchup against Appalachian State, JMU seeks its seventh win in a row.

In JMU’s first game against App State, which was on the road Feb. 11, the Dukes secured a 60-53 comeback victory. Three JMU players (graduate forward Ashanti Barnes, freshman forward Grace McDonough and redshirt senior guard Peyton McDaniel) scored in double figures.

The Dukes shot just 32% from the field during the first half, but finished the game with nine steals and three blocks — JMU scored 18 points off of turnovers. The Dukes also held the Mountaineers to 33% shooting during the second half.

During Monday’s presser, O’Regan said his team’s defensive effort was crucial to their comeback win.

“We couldn’t make anything,” O’Regan said. “I couldn’t remember the last time we couldn’t score, but it’s like, keep defending, keep defending.”

O’Regan added that playing defense like that “keeps you in the game.”

JMU has averaged 80.8 points per game and allowed 55.3 points per game over its last six matchups.

Ending season on a run

In its final three games of the season, JMU is battling teams ranked in the bottom half of the conference standings.

A key for the Dukes over their final stretch is Barnes’ scoring. She’s averaging 14.1 points and 8.9 rebounds per game but has been held to single-digit points in two of the last three games.

O’Regan emphasized finishing the season under the Dukes’ control and how their defensive efforts can help support that as well.

“I think after [Arkansas] State, this team decided, ‘we’re not playing around anymore,’” O’Regan said. “We have to focus on coming out, trying to defend and going 1-0 every day.”

NET ranking metrics favor JMU

A point that’s been brought up the last few weeks is JMU’s NET rankings according to the NCAA, and how this can affect its position for postseason tournaments. The Dukes currently sit at No. 50 in the NET — the highest of any Sun Belt team.

CBS Sports and ESPN’s projections have Georgia Southern (19-6) as the Sun Belt team to make the NCAA Tournament. But should the Dukes win the SBC Championship, their positioning in the NET rankings could be notable as to what seed they would get in the NCAA Tournament.

O’Regan explained how adding these new metrics has been fair for the NCAA and can help the selection committee consider as much information as they need to.

“They need as much consideration as they can get,” O’Regan said. “It can help in the end. It’s crazy to me we’re sitting here in fifth place with a net ranking in the 50s; it’s insane to me, but you can’t control that. We’ve just got to find a way to beat App State.”

The Dukes will be looking to put all of their continued momentum and their six-game win streak to the test at home on Saturday against App State at 2 p.m.

JMU men’s hoops seeks to ride win streak into SBC tournament

By PRESTON COMER The Breeze

With a 69-58 win over App State on Saturday, JMU men’s basketball (14-13, 6-8 Sun Belt) reached its second threegame win streak of the season.

“I thought we’ve done a lot of good things in that stretch,” head coach Preston Spradlin said. “The two games preceding the App State one we weren’t as good defensively.”

During those two games — wins over Georgia State and Toledo — the Dukes gave up 79 and 71 points, respectively.

JMU held the Mountaineers to under 60 points and low shooting percentages. App State shot 35% from the field, 21% from 3-point range and 58% from the free throw line. Spradlin called the win the Dukes’ “most complete game.”

“We shared the ball, our shot selection was phenomenal, we got on the offensive glass” Spradlin said, “obviously the defensive performance was our best of the season. We kind of showcased what we’re capable of doing, especially from a toughness and physicality standpoint.”

Junior forward Justin McBride leads the Dukes in scoring with 16.8 points per game. He also led the team in scoring against App State with 21 points — JMU’s second-highest scorer had 11 points.

McBride also scored 22 points against Georgia State on Feb. 12. Spradlin said the version of McBride he’s seen recently is a “fun one.”

“I went back and watched film and cut out some clips where he’s getting rebounds and pushing the ball 94 feet and driving it,” Spradlin said. “I don’t know how you stop that, to be honest. We need him to do that all the time because his matchup is a key matchup in all of these games.”

Ahead of JMU’s win streak, McBride missed three games with an injury. Even if the Dukes’ were missing their leading scorer, Spradlin thinks the challenge helped his team.

“Anytime you go through adversity it offers up an opportunity to get better, for guys to step up,” Spradlin said. “I feel like the experience those other players got is going to serve our team really well.”

During Saturday’s game, redshirt senior guard Kose Egbule injured his eye. He’s started every game since Jan. 17 and is averaging 4.3 assists per game throughout the Dukes’ win streak.

Spradlin said Egbule sent him a picture of his eye and joked that Egbule looks like the poster for “Rocky IV.” Despite the injury, Spradlin said he thinks Egbule “is going to be alright.”

“He’s a tough kid, he’ll bounce back,” Spradlin said. “It doesn’t change a lot of what we’re going to do.”

Spradlin pointed out JMU’s ability to create points in transition — especially after creating turnovers. The Dukes scored 12 fast-break points against App State.

“We’re doing a great job crushing teams in transition,” Spradlin said, “when we get stops, getting out and up, pushing the ball, throwing ahead and getting early post ups … that’s a huge separator when you get to the latter half of the season.”

Spradlin said that he started to emphasize his team’s defense more after Christmas. JMU struggled to guard players 1-on-1, which had a small margin for error. Spradlin said he noticed players out of their stances, having poor closeouts or getting beat off the bounce.

Spradlin told his team they have to be able to protect the paint and build their defense from the inside out.

“That’s been a point of emphasis,” Spradlin said, “I think the guys have taken on the pride of doing it. We’re simplifying what we’re doing on defense a little bit to where it doesn’t allow us to get extended. When we get really extended defensively, we’re not nearly as effective.”

With four games left in the season, JMU is the 10-seed in the Sun Belt. Three teams have just one more conference win than the Dukes with seven — Southern Miss, Georgia Southern and Arkansas State.

Stats are accurate as of Wednesday, before JMU faced Coastal Carolina at 7 p.m.

A “my-poor-bathroom” dart to Dukes Dining for giving me food poisoning.

From someone who just wanted some tacos.

A “hello-sunshine” pat to the warmest February weather ever.

From a student who finally isn’t shivering when walking to class.

JMU students are not lazy — we’re burnt out

An “I-need-a-break” dart to my professor who assigned 300 pages of reading this week.

From a student who cannot keep their eyes open.

Has anyone else been feeling super overwhelmed with the number of things on their to-do list? You come back to school from winter break, and all of a sudden that list of things you have to do for clubs and various activities has picked up significantly.

Well, Dukes, welcome to the spring semester, where everything you put off last semester is coming back to haunt you. Do you feel it? Because I know I do.

The problem with the spring semester is that it doesn’t have the same shiny feeling as the fall semester. In the fall semester, it’s still summertime, and everyone is feeling fresh from the three-month break. There’s something miserable about coming back to JMU in 10-degree weather and going to class when you know you’re going to have to trek through wind tunnels.

I’ll tell you right now, when I have to get up and go to my 8 a.m. in the cold, I’m certainly not feeling shiny.

feeling of zero motivation can appear as a lack of effort to your professors.

So while they think you care less about your important classes, you’re drowning in that overwhelming feeling of burnout.

An “I-love-studentprotests” pat to everyone who showed up to the anti-ICE protest last week.

From someone who loves to see activism on campus.

As students, you can easily be consumed by your social obligations and academic commitments, which can make it difficult to decide where to start. Stretching yourself too thin is too common for so many students. You make commitments you think you can handle, but you eventually realize you may have bitten off more than you can chew.

Then you’re stuck. Staring at the endless pile of work and social situations you promised to partake in. It’s hard to find motivation when you don’t know where to begin.

The struggle can feel unavoidable. Your health, both mental and physical, can feel dragged out. The endless coffees and energy drinks are catching up to you. You hear the coughing in class. Your eyelids feel heavy when you try to pay attention. But this constant exhaustion isn’t normal. Dragging yourself out of bed to give halfeffort in class because your brain can’t take much more isn’t normal.

That overloaded feeling can affect so many parts of your life. Academically, you’ll slowly see a decline in attendance and grades. Burnout will compromise your work ethic if you let it take over. Your social life starts to feel more and more optional. That

So let’s talk about some solutions: Give yourself a mental health day. Buy yourself a planner so you can visualize what needs to get done and when. Express to your professors how you’ve been feeling. Acknowledge it, don’t let it simmer. Normalize expressing to your friends when you feel like it’s all just a little too much. Burnout is real and hard to acknowledge. But as students, we have to understand our feelings to help us solve them. So Dukes, feel the pressure, but tackle it. Don’t let it fester. You can check off the to-do list.

The university shouldn’t hold class on any federal holidays

CALI GILMER Breeze columnist

This past Monday— Presidents’ Day or Washington’s Birthday — JMU students and faculty headed to classes while much of the country had this day off. It’s ironic that JMU is named after James Madison, a former U.S. president, yet we still don’t have this holiday off.

JMU has never recognized several federal holidays, including Presidents’ Day, Columbus Day and Veterans’ Day. Even if it’s common for many Virginia universities to remain open on these days, JMU should close on all federal holidays to support student well-being and demonstrate civic respect. Specifically, during the spring semester, many students and faculty can benefit from a three-day weekend in the middle of February.

The spring semester begins in the middle of January, after JMU recognizes Martin Luther King, Jr. Day as a federal holiday, giving students and faculty the day to reflect, as well as one more day of relaxation before the long semester begins. However, MLK Day was not always observed at JMU. It wasn’t until 2001 — after sustained student protests — that the

university began closing in recognition of the holiday. This shift proves that institutional change is possible when the community demands alignment with national civic values.

After MLK Day, there’s a long stretch with no meaningful breaks until spring break. Presidents’ Day falls at a point in the semester when motivation dips. The weather is at its worst, course workloads begin to pile up and there’s a lack of incentive to stay at the top of your game.

If JMU were to recognize Presidents’ Day as a federal holiday and close the university for the day, it would give students and faculty one shorter week between the start of classes and spring break. A threeday weekend can significantly improve mental health, sleep and academic focus. These small breaks prevent burnout rather than simply reacting to it. Students and faculty are juggling coursework, jobs, internships, clubs and social lives. Mental health conversations start to increase around campus at this time, proving this is a necessary change JMU should make to benefit its community.

Presidents’ Day isn’t the only federal holiday that deserves to be recognized, and mental health isn’t the only reason. All federal holidays are nationally recognized civic observances. JMU is a public

university funded by Virginia taxpayers, and these public institutions have an obligation to model civic engagement. Harrisonburg City Public Schools, another publicly funded institution in the same community, typically observes federal holidays by closing.

JMU choosing to hold classes on only a select few of the federal holidays sends a mixed message about their importance.

For example, Veterans’ Day honors military service, and JMU choosing to hold classes on this day proves that we’re prioritizing productivity over reflection.

As previously mentioned, JMU does choose to close for some federal holidays, such as MLK Day and Thanksgiving. Why are some federally recognized holidays seen as essential to observe, while others are not? This choice that JMU makes has created a hierarchy of national observances and proven that institutional convenience is what determines civic importance.

The JMU adwministration must decide if federal holidays matter to them or not.

It could easily be argued that JMU doesn’t recognize these select federal holidays because other Virginia universities might not close either. That doesn’t make it the right decision. JMU often promotes values of student wellness, community engagement and civic responsibility, but

this is clearly hypocritical. Institutions don’t need to wait for others to change first, and JMU has the opportunity to set a new standard within the state concerning the recognition of federal holidays.

It’s fair to note that academic calendars are tight. Adding closures complicates scheduling. However, such calendar adjustments are manageable. Looking at the JMU Academic Calendar, we have close to five weeks off for winter break. I’m sure students and faculty would be satisfied with removing only a few of those days in order to recognize federal holidays during the school year. The benefit to the JMU community outweighs the inconvenience, and it always should.

This is about more than a day off from class — it’s about JMU’s values. The university should prioritize mental health and civic respect. If it doesn’t want to be labeled as hypocritical and instead as a leading university, it should start by honoring the days the nation has already set aside.
