State park will offer chance to spend time in nature with dad By Ben Orcutt

If you’re looking for something a little bit different for Father’s Day this year, Bear Creek Lake State Park has got you covered.

“Father’s Day [June 16] particularly, we

have a couple special programs,” said Tom Kneipp, park ranger. “We have a 10 a.m. craft program, which that weekend will be flower pot painting. Folks get a flower pot at the office and then they come to the program. They get a little talk from a naturalist about plants and how they grow and things like that and then you get to paint and decorate your flower pot. So that’s something kids could do and make something special for dad that day. And then another activity we’ll have at [noon] is a GPS

activity. It kind of helps people get started with geocaching – using a GPS out in the woods to find hidden boxes, things like that. Geocaching is becoming more popular and this is a basic, beginning class and it’s a real good family activity. And [for] that you need to register at the park office. There’s a fee for that – family and per-person rates.”

Also scheduled for Father’s Day, Kneipp said, is a child and team fishing challenge.

Contributed report

The Cumberland High School class of 2013 enjoyed a spir-ited send-off on May 17, as

they gathered in the CHS gym to cel-ebrate graduation.

Quinn Duty, SCA President, opened the event by announcing the JROTC Color Guard and leading the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag. This was fol-lowed by a welcome address given by Student Liaison to the School Board Mason Dukes. Remarks were also made by David Meinhard, Chairman of the Cumberland County Board of Supervisors; Ginger Sanderson, Chairperson of the Cumberland County School Board; and Dr. Amy Griffin, Superintendent of CUCPS. Valedictorian Justus Dowdy and saluta-torian Jennie Robinson gave speeches, followed by an interlude played by the Cumberland Concert Band.

Cumberland High School prin-cipal Jeffrey Scales, assisted by assis-tant principal Cora Tolliver, Dr. Amy Griffin, Ginger Sanderson, and David Meinhard, awarded the diplomas.

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK

“That’s just going to be a fun casting for obstacles and

By Roslyn Ryan Editor

There was a time in the not-too-distant past

when getting a summer job came down to two things: how long it took you to scrawl your name and social security number on an application and how much pool-side time you were willing to give up.

I will never forget – much as I may try – the summer I spent waitress-ing at a place that deep-fried everything but the lettuce. I was a terrible waitress, but the money I made helped pay for my first car.

There was the sum-mer spent working behind the counter of a costume jewelry shop the one spent manning a fast food drive-thru window and the one spent work-ing in the visitor center at Lake Anna State Park,

where I once accidently dropped my car keys in a tank of live bass and had to get the park ranger to fish them out.

I won’t pretend I pre-ferred any of these jobs to whiling away the days at the pool or lounging around the house. But I did take away valuable lessons, including how to behave in the work-place and how to manage my own schedule – and money.

Today, sadly, it seems there are fewer oppor-tunities for kids to get the real world experience that summer jobs pro-vide.

And, partly because of that, they often seem to find out too late how dif-ferent that real world is.

Stories abound from employers who say that the most recent genera-tion of college gradu-ates seem immature and unprepared, viewing

their bosses the way they viewed their teachers and learning too late that the behavior that gets you merely reprimanded in school will get you fired in the workplace.

To the kids out there still pounding the pave-ment looking for a sum-mer job, keep your chin up: In the search for employment, persistence pays off.

And to the kids who already have jobs – par-ticularly the really chal-lenging, thankless ones – take heart. Many, many very successful people have at least one summer job horror story some-where in their past.

Putting in those hours now may feel like torture, but in the end it pays off – in more ways than one.

At the very least, you may end up with a din-ner-party-ready story that starts out “One time a bass ate my keys . . .”

fish on the beach,” he added. “That and then a walk called ‘Passing It Along.’ ….hopeful-ly fathers will come out with their kids and they’ll look at like a grown oak tree and…. [it] makes the forest family kind of relate to their family.

“Every year we try and offer a particularly special program for Father’s Day, but we still just offer our regular Sunday programs and anything we do on Sundays is geared towards families.”

In addition to the other activities there is the lake that visitors can take advantage of, Kneipp said, adding that patrons can rent boats, canoes, kayaks, or boats with electric motors.

“There’s trails,” he added. “We have a whole large trail system people can hike along.”

If folks choose not to bring

a picnic or to grill, there is a concession stand on site where items like hot dogs and hamburgers can be purchased, Kneipp said.

The parking fee on the weekends is $3 per vehicle, Kneipp added. On Father’s Day, the park will open about 7:30 a.m. for the beach and front areas and close at dusk, Kneipp said, adding that the park is open year-round.

Bear Creek Lake State Park is located in Cumberland County off U.S. 60, about 15 miles west of U.S. 522. The park is about 45 minutes from Midlothian, Kneipp added.

SCHOOL NOTES

Nelson, Saunders and Pino named Teachers of the Year

Cumberland County Public Schools recognized the Teachers of the Year for the individual schools as well as for the division at the May meeting of the Cumberland School Board.

The Teacher of the Year for Cumberland High School, as well as the divi-sion, was Paul John Nelson. Nelson teaches history at Cumberland High School. He began his teaching career at CHS when he was assigned to Margaret Dawson as a student teacher from Longwood University. He said that it was under his mentor, Mrs. Dawson, that he learned the true value of being a teacher. He also said that he tries to form positive relationships with students, often employing high-fives, handshakes, jokes in the hallway, and personal atten-tion. He says that he enjoys working with “great peers and amazing students” and feels lucky to work at CHS.

The Teacher of the Year for Cumberland Middle School was Kimberly Saunders Page, who teaches fifth grade math. She said that she became a teacher because she wanted to make a difference with students. Like Nelson, she also start-ed her teaching career at Cumberland. She graduated from Longwood College and started at CES as a first grade inclusion teacher half-way through the 2004-2005 school year. She is a member of the National Education Association, the Cumberland Education Association, and the Delta Kappa Gamma. Page teaches using 21st Century learning practices and implements a variety of technology in her classroom. She stated, “I personally believe that all children can learn and each should be held to individual standards. I believe that if they know you care about them and their success, they will strive to do their best.”

The Teacher of the Year for Cumberland Elementary School was Jean West Pino. Pino is a Pre-K4 teacher and

has been an educator for over 30 years. She says that she loves teaching Pre-Kindergarten and feels that it is a great privilege and responsibility to be a child’s very first teacher. Pino shared that teaching has always been her pas-sion, and she has even taught overseas in Tanzania, East Africa, for a time. She says that her goal is simple and she works towards it every day—to pro-vide a safe environment where all are valued, trusted, respected, and loved. She also stated that she is appreciative of the honor of being selected as the Cumberland Elementary Teacher of the Year by her peers.

Student wins third place in state forensics competition

Cumberland High School student Alexa Massey represented Cumberland

in the recent state forensics competition held in Harrisonburg. She entered in the Impromptu Speaking category and com-peted against the best in the state in Single A schools to beat 12 competitors and thereby earn a spot

in the final round. There she spoke about how woman and men treat friendships differently, and for her efforts she was ranked third place overall and recognized by the Cumberland School Board at the May meeting.

Massey started her season at Randolph Henry at the James River District compe-tition, where she earned a second place finish. She competed at the regional competition a few weeks later, where she earned third place and the chance to com-pete in the state competition. This was her first year competing as a member of the Cumberland Forensics Team.

Former student liaison Dukes headed to Hampden-Sydney

Mason Dukes, a graduating Senior at Cumberland High School, has served his term as the Student Liaison to the Cumberland School Board. He graduated with an Associate’s Degree

from Southside Virginia Community College on May 11, 2013, and received an advanced studies diplo-ma from CHS on May 17, 2013. He plans to attend Hampden-Sydney College to pursue a degree in biol-ogy with a concentration in pre-medicine. He was actively involved in school

organizations, which included being on the Superintendent’s Advisory Panel, the Student Council Association, and the Future Business Leaders of America. He was also an active par-ticipant in the athletic program, where he was the captain of the cross country team and the wrestling team. As a wrestler, Mason qualified 5th in Region B and narrowly missed a chance to wrestle at the state meet. Mason is the son of Tracy Armwood and Donnie Dukes.

Dukes

Contributed reportThe Cumberland County School Board

recognized Morman L. Duncan Jr. at the May School Board meeting.

Duncan, known to everyone as “Mo,” was born and raised in

Cumberland County, Virginia, where he attended Hamilton High School in Cartersville. He married Norma Southall of Farmville Virginia and they had four children. He has eight grand-daughters some that have graduated and

some still attending Cumberland schools. As a young man, he stayed busy working

in the family business of farming and logging. Throughout the years Duncan has had many careers, with jobs ranging from installing duct work to being a mechanic. He started

several businesses, including his own farm and an antique store. Finally, he was asked by an old friend to come to work for 4 Wheel Drive Specialty in Richmond, which he did. Eventually Duncan and his business partner purchased the company, which continued to grow and evolve. Duncan wanted to get closer to home. Therefore in the early 80’s he started his business, 4 Wheel Drive Specialty Conversions in Cartersville.

As a racing enthusiast and a well-known race driver himself, Duncan became one of the founding members of the Mid Atlantic 4 Wheel Drive Association that established the rules and regulations for racing events, which are still in use today. Duncan has been a member of Old Dominion 4 Wheel Drive Club since the early 70’s. His property hosts their racing events as well as others. Over the past 30 some years their events have helped Cumberland County’s volunteer fire departments, Ruritan Club, rescue squads,

and Boy Scouts raise thousands of dollars. These events also donated funds to help start the Cartersville Medical Center as well.

Duncan’s racing events led to another business, today known as MoJohns. Duncan was getting portable toilet service provided to the race track. He decided he would pur-chase a few units and service trucks and do it himself. He later added dumpster rentals to his services.

Over the years Duncan has become known for his good works. He has given many employment opportunities to the citi-zens of Cumberland County; donated to many charities, fundraisers and school events; and provided transportation, lodging, and loans to those in need. He was even featured as a sponsor on the television show, Extreme Home Makeover. His friends say that if he cannot help you, he will point you in the right direction because, as everyone says, “Mo knows!”

As community has learned, ‘Mo knows’

Over 50 ladies and children attended and shared in an afternoon of tea, hors d’oeuvres and devotion. Games were enjoyed and “Lessons in a Teapot” were discussed. The group offered special thanks to the youth who served as waitresses and to all who came out and shared in this annual event of food, fellowship, and fun.
