New Law Will Help Kids Learn to ReadBy Destiny BrandonCapital News Service

RICHMOND – Virginia schools must provide extra help to students in kindergarten and first and second grades who do poorly on diagnostic reading tests, under legislation that Gov. Bob McDonnell signed into law in recent weeks.

Schools already must offer reading intervention services to third-grad-ers who demonstrate deficiencies on the state’s Standards of Learn-ing reading test or other diagnostic measures. The new law, effective July 1, will add kindergarten and grades one and two to that require-ment.

That is the result of McDonnell’s signing of two identical proposals that were passed overwhelmingly by the General Assembly during its recent session: House Bill 2068, sponsored by Delegate Jim LeMu-nyon, R-Oak Hill, and Senate Bill 1171, introduced by Sen. Harry Blevins, R-Chesapeake.

“For kids who are in kindergarten and first and second grade, what’s going to change for them is they’ll be able to get special reading as-sistance,” LeMunyon said. “So they would maybe be tutored sometime during the school day on read-

ing by a reading specialist. Right now, that’s only happening in third grade.”

The new law also states: “Local school divisions shall report the results of the diagnostic tests to the Department of Education on an annual basis, at a time to be de-termined by the Superintendent of Public Instruction. Each student who receives early intervention reading services will be assessed again at the end of that school year.”

State officials say there are indica-tions that early intervention reading services already have improved stu-dent success among third-graders.

“In 2012, the General Assembly approved legislation proposed by Governor McDonnell that made the promotion of third graders who are not proficient in reading condi-tional on their receiving the reme-diation they need to improve their skills and read on grade level,” said Charles Pyle, director of communi-cations for the Virginia Department of Education.

“While one year does not a trend

make, the pass rate on the grade-three reading SOL test increased by two-and-a-half points last year.”

Reading intervention services in-clude “special reading teachers; trained aides; volunteer tutors un-der the supervision of a certified teacher; computer-based reading tutorial programs; aides to instruct in-class groups while the teacher provides direct instruction to the students who need extra assistance; and extended instructional time in the school day or school year for these students,” according to the Virginia Department of Education’s website.

The new law will have little if any financial impact on the state, ac-cording to an analysis by the Vir-ginia Department of Planning and Budget. It noted that it’s now op-tional for school districts to provide early intervention reading services in kindergarten and first and sec-ond grades. The state provides $18 million a year in matching funds for schools to offer such services.

LeMunyon said reading interven-

tion services are a practical matter.“The idea is that everybody can

read at a third grade level by the time they’re finished third grade,” he said.

The co-sponsors of HB 2068 were Republican Delegates David Albo of Springfield, Scott Garrett of Lynch-burg, Rick Morris of Carrollton, Roxann Robinson of Chesterfield, Thomas Rust of Herndon, and Ron-ald Villanueva of Virginia Beach.

Sen. Frank Ruff, R-Clarksville, joined Blevins in sponsoring the companion bill, SB 1171.

Reading intervention isn’t the only service mandated by the new law.

It also requires schools to “pro-vide algebra readiness intervention services to students in grades six through nine who are at risk of fail-ing the Algebra I end-of-course test, as demonstrated by their individual

performance on any diagnostic test that has been approved by the De-partment of Education.”

Currently, algebra readiness inter-vention services are optional. The state provides about $11 million a year as its share of the cost to fund these services in grades seven and eight.

The new law will ensure that all students struggling with algebra in grades six through nine will get help.

“What we’re going to do is, if someone looks like they’re not do-ing well in algebra maybe in sev-enth grade, they’ll get that same small-group or one-on-one assis-tance to help them out, so that they don’t find out at the end of the class they’re not going to pass,” LeMun-yon said.

Following long meetings and intense discussions, the Way-side Theatre’s Board of Direc-tors announced this week that it believes it is ready to go for-ward with season 52. According to Board President Byron Brill,

the decision is the result of the multitude of new approaches taken by the board and theatre employees. The theatre budget was cut even further, requiring only $197,000 to be raised for the 2013/2014 season. The Board believes it has raised $113,000 in grants, donations and spon-

sorships for the 52nd season. The remaining $84,000 needed will be raised during the next year. This is “realistic”, Brill said. “We can do this.” The board is emphatic that, although no one wants to lose the theatre, the board will not go forward with-out a viable fundraising and business plan. No more emer-gency fundraisers; the board will make sure the Wayside Theatre can raise needed funds

or will close. The board itself is stepping up to the plate. It has added new members with specialties in fundraising, management, and grant writing. It still has open-ing on its board; the board is analyzing what skill sets it still needs in deciding how to fill the additional seats. The board also is looking for volunteers to help with the new committee structure it has

implemented. With fewer em-ployees, the theatre will need volunteers to help with all sorts of theatre business. The board also is changing its

fundraising structure . Ticket sales alone will not keep the theatre open. People are en-couraged to go to the theatre’s website, www.wayside theatre.com, to make donations on a yearly, monthly or one time ba-sis. Consistent pledges help the theatre when applying for grant money, and for better planning its budget. At the same time, the theatre created a “$20 Is Plenty” cam-paign to continue to encourage smaller donations. Artistic Di-rector Warner Crocker said that if one half of each of the 20,000 ticket buyers last year donat-ed $20, it would have raised $200,000. Many local organizations have stepped forward to volunteer support for the Wayside The-atre. The Winchester/Frederick County chapter of The Nation-

al Active and Retired Federal Employees (NARFE) is includ-ing the Wayside Theatre in its ongoing Bus Tour program. Through the Bus Tour program, NARFE raises money to help those afflicted with Alzheim-er’s. The Shenandoah Region of the Antique Automobile Club of America and the town of Middletown are sponsoring a car show in Middletown’s town park on June 22, 2013. The the-atre’s volunteer group, P.R.O.P.S , the town of Middletown and the Shenandoah Valley Runners are sponsoring a “Run4Wayside” four mile run on September 7, 2013. Local artists, organized by Loretta Bailey, are donating

their art work to be sold in the Curtin Call Café. Other ideas include a “pay what you can night,” and special theme nights like first respond-ers, teachers and “read a book” nights. Crocker reminds people that for every $1 spent on art, $7 is returned to the community. Some things inside the theatre

are changing, while other things stay the same. Ticket prices will remain the same, making a Wayside Theatre ticket the least expensive purchase of any non-subsidized professional theatre in the region. However, less will need to be done with more. Crocker promises to be transparent with the running of

the theatre from its budget on down and any success or failure in the next year. Look for details in the Curtain Call Café and on the website. Maybe the biggest change for Crocker will be taking the “magic” made in the theatre and sharing it with the audi-ence. Crocker says the staff al-ways works behind the scene to provide magic for theatre goers. Now he intends to include the audience in the magic. As of press time, the theatre raised $88,383.13 in its $90,000 emergency campaign. Crocker is upbeat. Season 52 subscrip-tions are selling fast. A first mailing to supporters was sent out on Monday last. The “$20 is Plenty” campaign is taking off. A chipper Crocker noted that he expects to know by La-bor Day whether or not things are on track. And with that, he signed off to go eat his McDon-ald’s takeout.

RICHMOND – It’s a high fly ball hit deep into center field – going back, back … gone!Washington Nationals fans

living in Virginia have some-thing to cheer about even be-fore the 2013 Major League Baseball season officially be-gins. Gov. Bob McDonnell has

signed into law legislation cre-ating a Washington Nationals specialty license plate. Here’s how it happened:A constituent of Delegate Mi-

chael Webert led off by email-ing the idea to the Republi-can legislator, who represents Culpeper, Fauquier, Rappa-hannock and Warren on the outskirts of the Washington, D.C., suburbs. The proposal

rounded first base after We-bert agreed to sponsor House Bill 1387 during the 2013 leg-islative session. The proposal barreled through second base after more than 450 Virginians agreed to submit a prepaid ap-plication and $25 to purchase the license plate if the Virginia General Assembly approved the bill. The assembly did so unanimously, sending the pro-posal around third base.And in the bottom of the

ninth, the proposal slid into home as McDonnell signed the bill last week. It authorizes the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles to issue the specialty plate starting July 1.Profits from the sale of the

plates will go to the Washing-ton Nationals Dream Foun-dation, the charitable arm of the sports team. The founda-tion works with nonprofits in Northern Virginia, Maryland and D.C.

“They’re a great organization, and hopefully the use of the funds will benefit families in the commonwealth,” Webert said.For the Dream Foundation,

the new plate is a home run.“We are excited that the addi-

tional stream of revenue from the license plate program will allow us to expand our grants even further, ultimately mak-ing a greater impact on the or-ganizations based in Virginia,” a spokesperson for the foun-dation said in an email.Like other specialty plates,

the Washington Nationals plates will cost $25 above reg-ular vehicle registration fees. After the first 1,000 plates have been sold, $15 of the $25 will go to the Dream Foundation.State lawmakers typically in-

troduce five or six bills each session to create specialty plates, according to Sunni Brown, a DMV spokeswoman.Eight specialty plates were

proposed during the General Assembly’s 2013 session; four passed, including the Wash-ington Nationals plate. Leg-islators also approved plates for the Virginia Sexual and Domestic Violence Action Al-liance, the U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force.They will add to a selection of

more than 200 specialty plates Virginia drivers can choose from. The DMV already of-fers plates for the Washington Redskins football team and the Washington Capitals hockey team.“Virginians love their special

plates,” Brown said. “If you’re a Washington Nationals fan, now you can get one, too.”Wayside Theatre is located

in Middletown, Virginia on Route 11, Main Street, just north of the intersection of I-66and I-81.

Two Sherando High School students will be competing at the Interna-tional Science and Engineering Fair in May. Sophomore Jon Gustafson and junior Catherine Pollack earned the opportunity to compete at the in-ternational competition in Phoenix, Arizona, by being named grand prize winners at the Regional Science Fair held at James Madison University on March 5. Frederick County Public Schools students did exceptionally well at the re-gional competition. They captured a total of 15 gold medals, 15 silver med-als, 4 bronze medals and 24 specialty awards. In addition, many students qualified to compete at the State Science Fair next month. Frederick County students will compete in nine of 17 categories at the State Science Fair. Schools Superintendent David Sovine says, “I want to congratulate all of the students who represented our school division at the Regional Science Fair. Their success indicates the quality of the science programs being of-fered at all of our schools. Thanks to the work of our classroom teachers and instructional staff, more students are getting excited about science. This is evidenced by the fact that we had a record 300 students display projects at the Frederick County Public Schools Science Fair last month.”


The Frederick County School Board has appointed Frank E. Wright to fill the vacant Stone-wall District seat on the Board. Wright previously served as the Shawnee District representative on the Board. He was appoint-ed to that position on January 20, 1997, to fill the unexpired term of Don R. Edwards and served through December 31, 1997. Wright succeeds Melvin S. “Jim” Harmon as the Board’s Stonewall District representa-tive. Harmon passed away last month. Wright says, “I want to thank

the School Board for appointing me to the Stonewall District seat and providing an opportunity for me to serve our school divi-sion and community. I’m a life-long resident of the Winchester-Frederick County area and have a long family history in public education and public service. My father served as Freder-ick County’s Superintendent of Schools from 1968 to 1982, my wife is a retired school division employee, both of my children are graduates of James Wood High School, and my grandchil-dren are now starting their jour-ney through Frederick County

Public Schools. As a member of the School Board, I plan to work together with my colleagues and the Superintendent to maintain and build upon the strong pub-lic education system we have in Frederick County. I want all students to be provided with a quality education that prepares them to become well-rounded, successful citizens.” Wright retired in 2010 as the

Chief of the Winchester Fire and Rescue Department. He served a total of 35 years with the de-

partment in a variety of roles, including every supervisory po-sition within the department. Wright was recently named the city’s Interim Fire Chief and will fill that role until a new chief is hired. School Board Chairman Stu-

art Wolk says, “I, along with the other members of the Board, pleased to welcome Mr. Wright back to the School Board. He is well-qualified for the position and is committed to the school division’s mission of ensuring all

students an excellent education. On behalf of the School Board, I want to thank everyone who expressed an interest in serving our community as a member of the Board. The selection pro-cess was highly competitive and enlightening. Each candidate we interviewed brought a val-ued perspective to the discus-sions.” In addition to Wright, Brenda Fristoe, Wendy Knox and Paul Phillips applied for the position. Wright and his wife, Sharon,

live in Stephenson. They have two children and five grandchil-dren.

By Jonathan LucciFrederick County Report

The Pioneers of Millbrook High School are looking to build off of their 2012 success in 2013, and do so they will have a new coach at their helm. After former head coach Reed Prosser announced he was leaving Millbrook to take on the job at Heritage High School, the search was on for his replace-ment and the Pioneers believe they have found their man. Josh Haymore has been named their new head coach, after sev-eral years on the coaching staff at Broadway High School, including a stint last year as their Offensive Coordinator. Before his time at Broadway, Coach Haymore was on the staff at James Madison Univer-

sity, where he played football from 2001 to 2004. “I am so excited and fired up, I can barely sit still,” said Coach Haymore, just a few hours after meeting with his coaching staff at Millbrook. “I met with my coaches today, and I am so excited to see how tight this group of coaches is with each other,” says Haymore. “Noth-ing is broke here, they just lost their head coach, that’s all. These are the guys I want” While he is very satisfied with the coaches around him, Haymore said that he is going to take the next several weeks to decide where everyone will fit in his system. He also emphasized his commitment to off-season conditioning and weight-lifting, saying that it was

an opportunity for the players to show their own commitment to the team. When asked about his coaching philosophy, he said he wanted to emphasize three things

with the student athletes at Mill-brook: Discipline, Accountability, and Responsibility. “I want to teach these kids, not just football, but how to be a man,”

said Coach Haymore. While the rules about off-season workouts are different than they have been in the past, Coach Hay-more said he was looking forward to having some off-season coach-ing opportunities, possibly starting April. Until then, however, he said that working in the weight room will pivotal to their success. “We are behind right now, but we will get after it.”

A RARE DEFENSIVE MANEUVER

There is a certain amount of guess-work in bridge, but some of it can be avoided or successfully resolved by taking advantage of the information available in almost every deal.

For example, take this case where the defense must function perfectly to defeat five clubs. Superficially, it seems that South is a goner from the start, since East-West can collect the first three spade tricks.

But in practice, this is easier said

than done. To begin with, West must find the killing spade lead. And even if he does, East must find the right defense or South will romp home with 11 tricks.

Assume you’re East and partner leads the three of spades following the auction shown. Partner should have the queen of spades, as he would have led “top of nothing” with three or four small spades.

Let’s say you win with the king and cash the ace, declarer contributing the 6-4 on the first two tricks.

At this point you have a difficult problem to solve. If South has [S] 64 [H] x [D] AQJxxx [C] AKQx, you must cash the ace of hearts to beat the contract. But if he has [S] 764 [H] — [D] AQJxxx [C] AKQx, you must lead another spade. In this case, the bidding doesn’t provide any helpful clues, because declarer would proba-bly have bid the same way with either hand.

Strangely enough, the problem can be resolved by winning the opening lead with the king and returning the deuce of spades (your original fourth-best spade) at trick two.

If West started with the Q-7-5-3 of spades, he will know that declarer has no more spades and will shift to a heart to sink the contract, while if he started with the Q-5-3 of spades, he will return a spade, knowing that declarer has another spade to lose.

Lee Marvin: Point Blankby Dwayne Epstein, afterword by Christopher Marvin(Schaffner Press, $27.95)Reviewed by Larry Cox

Much of what we think we know about Lee Marvin is gleaned from his tough-guy film roles. Some of his performances remain as chilling as when they were first released. For example, who could forget Marvin in John Ford’s “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance,” the brutality of “The Big Red One” and his impres-sive turn in the iconic “The Dirty Dozen.” Then there’s his Oscar-win-ning dual role in “Cat Ballou.”

Although his work helped establish Marvin as one of the industry’s most impressive actors, not much has been revealed about his personal life, even his combat experiences as a Marine during World War II.

What makes this new biography so intriguing is that author Dwayne Epstein researched Marvin for sev-eral years, interviewing dozens of members of the acting profession in addition to his closest friends and family members. The result is a bal-anced book with even more depth than the previous full-length biogra-phy of Marvin, which was published before his death in 1987 at age 63.

According to Epstein, more than 100 people were interviewed for this project. Two standouts include Lee’s brother, Robert, and the actor’s first wife, Betty. Others who offered insight include actors Angie Dickin-son and Jack Palance, and directors John Frankenheimer and Stanley Kramer.

A critic for The New York Times nicknamed Marvin “The Merchant of Menace” after seeing him shoot a scene in “The Big Heat.” This film was notable for the scene where Mar-vin’s character tosses a pot of scald-ing coffee into Gloria Grahame’s face. It was only a supporting role, but the actor left his indelible mark on the final product. Ironically, it wasn’t feature films that made Marvin a household name, but a TV series, “M Squad,” which debuted in 1957.

“Point Blank” is a rollicking narra-tive that comes about as close to the authentic Marvin as we are apt to get.

Fountain Pen

Q:I have a Sheaffer’s Lifetime fountain pen, in excellent

condition. How much is it worth? — Mrs. F.V., Rio Rancho, N.M.

A:According to “Collecting Pens” by Edward Kiersh, if your pen

was manufactured in 1950 and is a Lifetime Triumph with Touchdown filler, it could be worth $125 in new to excellent condition.

***

Q:We have a stovetop waffle iron that was manufactured

by Stover. We would like to know if it has any value as a collectible. —Hershel and Freda, Jackson, Mo.

A:Prices depend on rarity and desirability. Although I could

not find your particular waffle iron in my reference books, a rule of thumb is that the more intricate the waffle iron, the higher the price. For example, the Yum Yum waffle iron manufactured by Griswold for hotel kitchens is valued at between $500 and $1,200, depending on size and model. Most of the other simpler ones fall into the $40 to $100 range, again depending on rarity and desirability. I would think that your waffle iron might fall into that range, too.

***

Q:I have dozens of old 78 rpm records by such artists as

Patti Page, Dinah Shore and Frank Sinatra. Where can I sell them? —

Mrs. J.W., Holmdel, N.J.

A:Good question. Finding any-one interested in 78 rpm

records is getting harder and harder. There are three major reasons why this is so. First, most of the better vintage music has been transferred to either cassette tape or compact discs. Second, finding equipment to play the older records on is becom-ing almost impossible and, finally, 78 rpm discs are fragile and difficult to preserve and store. I wish I had bet-ter news for you, but I suggest you donate your collection to a charity.

***

Q:I began collecting Western paperbacks when I was a

teenager more than 50 years ago. I would now like to sell them. Please advise me. — Marsha, Sioux Falls, S.D.

A:I suggest you start by contact-ing dealers in your area. The

Book Shop buys and sells used paper-backs, a good place to begin. Contact is 223 S. Phillips Ave., Sioux Falls, SD 57104.

Going Off-LeashDEAR PAW’S CORNER: My

puppy, “Sky,” is approaching a year old, and she is still a bit ram-bunctious. I’d like to take her to a nearby off-leash dog park, but I’m worried about how she will act around other dogs and people. — John P., Portland, Maine

DEAR JOHN: First, I want to commend you for putting so much thought into your decision to bring Sky to an off-leash park. It’s impor-tant to be considerate of how your dog will behave in social situations. The question now is, how exactly will she behave?

My guess is that Sky has not spent a lot of time with other dogs. She’s old enough now to start socializing, but first make sure she has had all needed vaccinations.

Start small — schedule a play date with a friend or neighbor’s dog, and gradually build the number of dogs she’s around. Supervise her the entire time to make sure she gets along well with other dogs.

If it isn’t possible to do a limited play date, look into weekly group training sessions with a professional trainer. These will reinforce basic obedience skills with Sky with the added benefit of socializing, in a con-trolled environment, with other dogs.

If neither option is available, slowly introduce Sky to the dog park. Pick a time when few dogs are in the park. (You’ll need to scout the park on your own beforehand.) Keep her on the leash for the first few visits, especial-ly when she’s meeting new dogs.

Be a good park patron, too. Talk with the other dog owners while you’re there — they can offer help-ful advice. Pick up after Sky. Make sure Sky will respond to you and your commands both on and off leash.

Send your questions or comments to [email protected], or write to Paw’s Corner, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. For more pet care-related advice and informa-tion, visit www.pawscorner.com.
