By Natalie Dohner The Breeze

For most people, the public grieving process ends with a funeral,but communication stud- ies professor Aaron Noland chose to celebrate his father’s life by holding a 5K in his honor that gathered 79 runners and raise more than $1,000. His father, Don Noland, died of a heart attack on April 15, 2010. “Part of the grieving process was memorial- izing,” Noland said. “This allows for his legacy to be passed on.” A total of $978 was raised solely in registra- tion fees and thanks to donations, more than $1,000 was brought in. The funds will be split evenly between the JMU chapter of Habitat for Humanity, Aaron’s chosen charity, and the American Heart Asso- ciation to promote heart health. Don grew up in West Virginia and devoted his life to his wife and two sons. He was pas- sionate about helping others as well as golfing and hunting, according to Aaron. After his father retired, he spent his time building and repairing houses with Habitat, Noland said. Don worked with the Wood County Habi- tat chapter in Parkersburg, W. Va., where he and his family lived. After retiring from his job at General Electric in 2005, Don was able to devote much of his free time to volunteering with Habitat. “He made helping others his life’s work,” Noland said. Noland came up with the idea for the 5K, but BRANDON PAYNE / the breeze a group of four communication studies majors Professor Aaron Noland stands outside Festival with junior communication majors Regan Kevan (left) and Kerry Callaghan (right), before the race Sunday. coordinated and planned the event.

JMU basketball star Dawn Evans was not chosen by any team at Monday’s  Women’s National Basketball Association Draft. It comes as a big surprise, considering she was projected to go in the late  rst round or early sec- ond round, according to a number of experts. ESPN women’s hoops analyst Chris Hansen had Evans as the No.  ranked pros- pect in the draft out of . Head basketball coach Kenny Brookes put the JMU nation’s frustration into words via Twitter dur- ing the draft, saying, “Some things make no sense at all,” and, “I have no idea what they were think- ing! She got to use it as motivation!” When determining possible reasons why Evans wasn’t drafted, experts have cited three main explanations. First, teams could have been afraid to assume the risk of drafting a prospect with a history of kidney disease. Since the end of , Evans has been playing with a kidney defect known as focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.  ere is no cure approved by the Food and Drug Administration, so Evans dealt with FSGS in the past by usingblood pres- sure medication, and currently uses sodium bicarbonate to raise her blood pressure. “I am extremely upset because I feel slighted… whether it be because of my illness or whatever, I thought I at least deserved a chance,” Evans said.  ough a health problem such as FSGS might turn some teams away, a number of experts didn’t believe it would play into the draft. “If you’re interested in Evans, you’ll do your homework and you’ll learn about what her phys- ical condition is and what the concerns are,” Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve said in a pre-WNBA draft teleconference in March. The second possible reason that teams did not draft Evans could be due to the abundance of point guards that were available in the draft, and the fact that many teams were looking for post-players, according to coach Jennifer Gillom of the Los Angeles Sparks. “I think this is de nitely a guard-heavy draft and there are de nitely some talented players out there at the guard position,” Gillom said.  ere were eight post players taken in the  rst round out of a possible .  e trend continued in the second round, as nine of the players picked were either centers or forwards.  e last factor that might have had an impact on Evans’ draft viability was WNBA teams’ inabil- ity to classify her as a shooting or point guard. At -foot-, her size was also a factor that WNBA teams had to consider. “Dawn Evans is a player that’s shown a great ability to score the basketball, a high-volume shooter, which is what’s asked of her for that team and she’s taken on that role well,” Gillom said. “From a size standpoint, there’s probably some concern there.” Evans is now waiting for an invitation to a WNBA training camp in the coming weeks. But with only  teams and  roster spots on each, an opening will be hard to come by. “Nevertheless, I don’t plan to quit. I still have a chance at free agency so I’ll try that and if not, I’ll de nitely play Euro ball and maybe try it [the draft] again next year,” Evans said. Evans often proved her ability to overcome adversity during her JMU career, and only time will tell if the young star continues to do so.
