Local school hosts South Korean exchange students
New Mountain View Christian Academy program is considered a success after first year
By Rachel Hamman
The Sherando Times
Last summer, Mountain View
Christian Academy embarked on
a new program—one that would
bring South Korean students into
the family of MVCA and help
them on their way to a broader
understanding of another cul-
ture. Last summer, four high
school students left their fami-
lies in South Korea and bravely
came to be immersed into a new
culture, one that would hopefully
widen their perspectives and help
them excel both spiritually and
academically.
In the beginning, MVCA did
not initiate this venture. Mr.
Kim came to the academy and
broached the idea to Dr. Minta
Hardman, the administrator of
MVCA. Mr. Kim acted as a liai-
son between Mountain View and
the South Korean students and
their families. Mr. Kim’s brother-
in-law was an administrator of a
Christian school in South Korea
and Mr. Kim helped facilitate the
transitioning of the students to
MVCA and he touched base with

them throughout the year.
For the 2009-2010 school year,
the South Korean students were
comprised of one senior and
three ninth graders. In South Ko-
rea, a baby is considered one year
old when he or she is born. So
even though these students were
considered older in their coun-
try, they were in essence com-
parable in age to students here
in the same grade. The students
each went to live with a different
family. Two of the students each
had a sibling at another Christian
school in the area. The goal was
for the South Korean students to
become immersed in the Ameri-
can culture and understand and
speak English better. The liaison,
Mr. Kim, did not want the stu-
dents to stay to themselves and
only speak the Korean language.
A truly new cultural immersion
was best achieved by splitting up
the boys into different families so
they could each have a diverse ex-
perience. The students are given
American names in addition to
their Korean names. One of the
students who came this past year,
however, preferred to be called
by his Korean name.
Because any good teacher
wants to feel that he is getting
through to his students, the sec-
ondary teachers at MVCA began
the new school year unsure of
how successful the Korean ex-
change student program would
be. The biggest challenge proved
to be how to help the Korean stu-
dents understand the material,
while not holding up the rest of
the class. Brenda Heselton, the

Christian schools on the east and
west coasts. Pak noted that some
principals of public schools in
Korea send their own children to
Christian schools there. The Ko-
rean language, tae kwon do, the
Bible and modern Korean history
are an important part of the cur-
riculum at Christian schools in
Korea. When asked why the Ko-
reans seem to excel at math above
the average U.S. student, Pak ex-
plained that it is emphasized in
school and students are also tu-
tored in math in the evening. He
also said that the Korean system
of learning math is influenced by
the Japanese system. GVCS oper-
ates under the auspices of ACSI
(Association of Christian Schools
International), as do many of the
Christian schools in the United
States. MVCA is a fully accred-
ited K-12 ACSI member school.
For students who come to the

joy.
During the orientation of stu-
dents to American culture, the
main focus is helping the Korean
exchange students become more
proficient in English. Burkey
found that most of the students
in the orientation program un-
derstood spoken English. She
noted that the Korean students’
reading level is high, but their
spoken English is not as good.
The biggest challenge for her was
getting the students to under-
stand that an English word can
have more than one meaning.
Some students were interested in
learning how to greet people in
the United States. As mentioned
earlier, bowing is part of their
culture when meeting people.
Burkey was impressed with the
warmth of the people she met in
South Korea.
For the Korean students who
came to MVCA last year, their
perspective of American edu-
cation and culture is quite in-
teresting when comparing it to
their own culture. The education
environment in Korea is highly
competitive, so it was refresh-
ing for the Korean students to

be in a school where everyone
is encouraged to succeed. In Ko-
rean schools, only 4% of a class
is given A’s and the next 12% get
B’s. A certain percentage of Ko-
rean students also get C’s, D’s,
and F’s. This grading system is
similar to what we know here in
America as the “bell curve”. For
the senior who came to MVCA
last year, “Jun” (a shortened ver-
sion of his Korean name) appre-
ciated having other students help
him when he needed it, such as
in fixing grammar mistakes and
help with projects. Jun also ap-
preciated the help from teachers
in overcoming the language bar-
rier. He said he was able to un-
derstand the teacher’s jokes by
the middle of the school year. He

found everyone at MVCA to be
“friendly and kind”. He was con-
cerned about making friends at
first, but that wasn’t an issue for
him because of the friendliness of
the people. He even participated
in drama at MVCA for the spring
production and played the part of
“Dr. Kim” in a play that was writ-
ten and produced by MVCA high
school drama students. Before
coming to the U.S., Jun learned
about American culture through
watching movies and hearing sto-
ries from other Korean exchange
students. At first, Jun said his fa-
vorite food was steak, but now he
prefers subs because of their va-
riety of flavors. Jun was surprised
that people don’t walk to the mall
or market like they do in Korea.
The first thing Jun wants to do
when he comes back to America
is see the friends he made here
and “have lunch in a nice restau-
rant”.
For Dr. Minta Hardman, whose
husband Doug is the current se-
nior evangelist at the Church of
Christ at Mountain View, this
experience of having students
at MVCA from another culture
reminds her of the “vastness of
God”. No one culture is better
than another because people of
all nationalities are important to
God. Dr. Hardman believes that
having new students in the class-
room creates a special kind of
energy. She also agreed that hav-
ing the Korean students in the
classroom pushed other students
to try harder, especially in math.

that the Korean exchange student
program was a “great success”
for the 2009-2010 school year at
MVCA. She is looking forward to
welcoming the four new seventh
graders and two new ninth grad-
ers who are coming to MVCA
around the middle of August. For
the Hardman family, who hosted
one of the ninth graders last year,
they are getting ready to welcome
Daniel back into their home for
another year. For Dr. Hardman,
who had only been used to hav-
ing two daughters in her home,
it was quite a change having a
boy in the house. She laughingly
recalls the first time she fixed
Daniel bacon for breakfast. In his
effort to understand what kind of
food it was, he said, “Is it snake?”
Finally, the Hardman’s youngest
daughter, Hannah, had to explain
to Daniel that bacon comes from
pigs.
For the Higgs family, who also
hosted one of the ninth graders
last year, their greatest challenge
was having a teenager in their
home. Both of their children are
in elementary school, so they had

a crash course as well as a pre-
view in finding out what it’s like
to parent a teenager. However,
they must have done okay be-
cause Benjamin liked living with
them well enough to return for a
second year.
There are several other families
who are preparing to host the
new Korean students who are
coming to MVCA this year. As a
reimbursement for their expens-
es, each family will receive $600
per month for hosting a Korean
exchange student. Samuel Pak
says that the Korean children
like American food. He says that
South Korea has the same fast
food places that we have here. In
Korea, however, the people eat
rice everyday. Pak says that oc-
casionally, the exchange students
would like to eat Korean food
while they are here in America.

“It’s a very unusual thing for the

said.
Many expect the case to go to

lease a report in the fall. So far,
though, the police department
has not reported a large change
in the crime rate. They did report
that six percent of people arrest-
ed on criminal charges were ille-
gal aliens.
Critics say the laws would erode
the relationship between the po-
lice and the community.
“The consequences of it would
be very serious and damaging to
law enforcement,” said Del. Bob
Brink, D- Arlington. “You lose
the trust and communication.”
After the policy was introduced
in Prince William County, the
illegal immigrants from North
Carolina, there is no reason for
it,” Brink said.
Similar bills have been consid-
ered in the statehouse before, but
did not pass.
“Immigration issues have gen-
erated a large volume of legisla-
tion over the last several years,
and I’m sure that we will continue
to see legislation introduced to
address additional concerns,” said
Kathy Roberts, spokeswoman for
Virginia House Speaker Bill How-
ell.
Estimates put the number of il-
legal immigrants in Virginia near
300,000.

Gov. Robert F. McDonnell

avoided taking a strong stand on
Virginia’s future in the illegal im-
migration debate, but there were
rumblings yesterday that could
propel the Commonwealth to the
center of the issue.
“I believe strongly we need to
follow the rule of law,” the gov-
ernor told WRVA radio in Rich-
mond. “We need to do a much
better job of securing the bor-
ders, but we need to permit law-
ful immigration in the United
States consistent with the eco-
nomic needs of our country … It’s
too early to give any comment on
what’s happening out there.”
Later in the morning, Prince
William County Board of Super-
visors Chairman Corey Stewart
proposed legislation that aims to
crack down on illegal immigrants
in Virginia.
“It’s going to be more legally
sound [than the Arizona law],”
Stewart said. “And in some re-
spects, even tougher.”
Termed the “Rule of Law Act,”
Stewart’s proposal is similar to
-7603*$8725(3$,5

ly under fire. The initiative would
give police officers the power to
check the immigration status of
anyone during “lawful contact”
such as a traffic stop.
It also would allow police offi-
cers to arrest illegal immigrants
without a warrant if the police
suspect the person is an illegal
immigrant. The measure would
curb illegal day laboring, and al-
low state penalties for failing to
complete alien registration docu-
ments. It would also stop illegal
immigrants from registering an
automobile in the state, and put a
tax on money that is wired out of
the country.
But the proposal most likely
will hinge on the outcome of this
week’s federal injunction against
several key elements of the Ari-
zona law. U.S. District Judge Su-
san Bolton put on hold a provi-
sion requiring officers to check
an individual’s immigration sta-
tus while enforcing other laws.
Arizona is appealing the ruling,
showcasing the current battle
between federal and state gov-
ernments regarding immigration
policy.

Star Tannery man injured by train in Middletown
By Daniel Tyson
The Sherando Times
Authorities are still waiting
to interview the Star Tannery
man who suffered life threaten-
ing injuries Friday when a CSX
train rammed his truck at a ru-
ral Frederick County railroad
crossing only days after a simi-
lar accident killed a Front Royal
woman.
The collision occurred when
Dennis C. Bly, 55, approached
the tracks eastbound on Mead-
ow Mills Road near the Thermo
Fisher plant. The road’s design
makes it necessary for drivers
to pull to the edge to spot on-
coming trains, said Maj. Robert
Eckman of the Frederick County
Sheriffs Office.
Eckman said Bly slowed his
1989 Ford F150 as a approached
the crossing, which does not
have red-flashing lights or a gate
to warn drivers of an oncoming
train.
The train’s engineer, Eddy
Ridgeway of Paw Paw, W.Va,
said he spotted the truck about
about 250 feet from the railroad
crossing, began sounding his
horn and applying the breaks,
but to no avail.
Officials estimated the loco-
motive rammed the driver’s side
of the truck going approximately
21 mph -- totaling the vehicle.
The impact was almost deadly.
From the driver’s side door to
the rear wheel is nothing but
shredded, bended metal, simi-
lar to crumpled alumium foil. A
driver’s side wheel was forced off
its axle and came to rest on the
other side of the truck. A path
along the slight gravel incline
illustrated where the truck was
pushed several feet.

cans littered the accident site.
Authorities are investigating
whether alcohol was a factor
in the collision, Eckman said.
“We’re waiting on the test to
come back,” Eckman said Mon-
day afternoon.
The Middletown Volunteer
Fire and Rescue Company trans-
ported Bly to an area hospital.
Traveling in the cab of the
truck with Bly was his pet bea-
gle, which was unharmed and
picked up by Bly’s brother, Eck-
man said. Ridgeway, the engi-
neer, did not suffer injuries ei-
ther.
Friday’s collision marks the
second railroad accident in the
area. Bonita Lynn Brewer, 52, of
Front Royal was killed on Fair-
ground Road, about a mile from
U.S. 340/522 July 21. Virginia
State Police said Brewer tried to
beat the train across the tracks,
even though the cross gates and

flashing lights warned of an
approaching Norfolk Souther
train.
Eckman said Friday’s collision
is the first railroad crossing ac-
cident in Frederick County in
several years. However, between
January and May 2010, there
have been three fatalites and
56 nonfatal accidents involving
railroad crossings in Virginia,
according the Federal Railroad
Administration’s Office of Safety
Analysis.
A spokeswoman for the Fed-
eral Railroad Administration
said rural areas are more prone
to railroad crossing accidents,
since country roads are less
traveled railroad companies are
reluctant to install signals or
gates.
“The best advice I can give is
to stop, look and listen” when
approaching a railroad crossing.
she said.

be watching out for anyone who
has these symptoms. More than
ever, patients must communicate
clearly to their physicians and
other medical personnel about
how they’re feeling so that doc-

The fundraiser was started be-
cause many of Chelsea’s friends
and family members wanted to
do something special in Chelsea’s
name and find a way to remember
her. Because Chelsea was an ac-
tive member of DECA while she
was at Sherando High School, it
seemed fitting to create a scholar-
ship that would help other DECA
members pay for their college tu-
ition. The scholarship money will
go to active members of DECA
who are go-getters like Chelsea
was. The following excerpt is tak-
en from the DECA website which
explains what DECA is about. For
more information, please go to
their website at www.deca.org.
“DECA members can begin
their experience as early as the
ninth grade by enrolling in a
marketing, finance, hospitality,
business management or entre-
preneurship course. They can re-
tain their membership in DECA
as long as they are actively pursu-
ing courses in one of the content
areas. As part of a high school
chapter, DECA members can take

Sheila Pack would like to thank
the community for their thought-
fulness during this difficult time.
She and her family are grateful
for the tree, rose bush and books
that have been donated in Chel-
sea’s honor. A Light of Love in
Chelsea’s name has been donated
at the Winchester Medical Cen-
ter. There have been many other
prayers and special gifts that have
helped Chelsea’s family during
the past year and a half. Sheila
would especially like to thank Al
Bracey and the McCoys for mak-
ing the upcoming event at Mc-
Coy’s Dairy Bar possible.
The McCoys offered to have the
fundraiser at their business last
year and are once again hosting
the event this year. The motor-
cycle cruise-in will give awards
to each of the following classes:
Street, Harley Davidson and
Custom. The cost for entering a
bike is ten dollars. There will be
a raffle for prizes and a 50/50
drawing. Disc jockey Matt Luck
will play a variety of music and
he will take requests. This will
be a family-friendly event with
lots of food and fun for people of
all ages. Last year’s event raised
$1,500 for DECA!

Libraries Closing Early on
Thursdays
Due to budget cuts, Clarke
County Library, Bow-
man Library, and Handley
Library will close at 1 p.m. on
Thursdays. In addition, all libraries
will be closed for an unpaid staff
furlough from August 21 through
August 27.
Handley Regional Library will
be closed Aug. 21 through Aug.
26 due to a budget-reduction fur-
lough.
Fundraising, through July 28,
has raised enough funds to drop
one day off the furlough—it is
ending a day earlier than previ-
ously announced. Library offi-
cials are hoping to raise enough
through donations, sponsorship,
and attendance at the August 7
murder mystery at the library, but
need to raise $4,000 more to ac-
complish that.
During the furlough, residents
can do a few things to make it
easier on themselves.
Stock up on items before Aug.
21. Checked-out items won’t be
due until September.
Renew items online: www.hrl.
lib.state.va.us.
Download audiobooks, listen to
children’s books on our webpage.
Access & read magazine articles
and some books through our on-
line databases.
Library users can help the li-
brary by: Not returning materials
during the furlough. They should
wait until Sept. 1 to bring them
back. No fines will be charged un-
til Sept. 3. Not bringing donated
books until Sept.1. Not leaving
voice mails. The library voice mail
boxes will be too full and will not
work. Waiting on holds. Library
catalog users will not be able
to place holds from Aug. 17 to
Aug. 31 because the library won’t
be able to handle the load.

locations of Handley Regional

will miss everyone, too (as well as
their paychecks).

of a ceiling fan, are out of reach

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A pre-
vious misunderstanding continues to
taint the atmosphere to some extent in
the early part of the week. But cooler
heads prevail, and the situation eases
by week’s end.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)
While the artistic aspect of the Divine
Bovine is well-served this week, that
practical side is also getting the sort of
recognition that could lead to a new
and well-deserved opportunity.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) With
home-related matters taking on more
importance this week, now could be
the time to make some long-deferred
purchases. But shop carefully for the
best quality at the best price.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Con-
gratulations. While that family prob-
lem might still rankle, it should be eas-
ing thanks to your efforts to calm the
waters. Also, a workplace situation
seems to be moving in your favor.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) The Big
Cat’s energy levels should be rather
high these days, and you might do well
to tackle any tasks that still need doing.
This will clear the way for those
upcoming projects.
