Black Mountain Bluegrass Boys return to
Pocahontas County Opera House

Barbara Elliott
Contributing Writer
      The Pocahontas County Opera House will bring its 2004-2005 Performances Series to a toe-tapping conclusion with a return engagement by the ever-popular Black Mountain Bluegrass Boys. This terrific traditional bluegrass band one of the oldest and best in the region will perform on Saturday, May 14, at 7:30 p.m. All tickets are $5 at the door. Children ages 12 and under are admitted free.
      The Black Mountain Bluegrass Boys Band was established in Pocahontas County in 1968. The original band members were Richard Hefner, Harley Carpenter, Bill Hefner and Glen "Dude" Irvine, all from Mill Point.
      The current band members are Richard Hefner, Rick Carpenter (son of Harley), Chris Nickell and Mike Smith, all West Virginia natives. They are well known for their "high lonesome" sound of original bluegrass in the vein of Ralph Stanley, Bill Monroe and Jimmy Martin.
      Richard Hefner (Banjo, vocals and comic relief) has been playing and singing as long as can be remembered. His hard-driving leads and bluesy renditions of the original bluegrass tunes have made this band one of the favorites on the circuit today, and his old time tenor harmonies are unrivaled. He has received honors for his banjo expertise, winning or placing in the annual WV Vandalia Gathering Bluegrass Banjo Category for eight years in succession.

      Following the unexpected loss of Harley Carpenter in 1998, his son, Rick, who has played with the band since he was about eight years old, rejoined the band on a regular basis playing mandolin and adding lead and baritone vocals. Also accomplished on electric bass, rhythm guitar and banjo. his vocal talents add to the excellent harmony singing of the band.
      Chris Nickell, of Monroe County, adds outstanding rhythm and lead guitar. He also began playing music at an early age, inspired by his dad. He is not only a hot lead guitarist, but his lead vocals, blending with the rustic tenor of Richard Hefner, have revived the harmonies that had been missing since the loss of Harley Carpenter.
      Mike Smith, acoustic bass, hails from Cabell County. He also learned to love the bluegrass sound from his father. He powers the Black Mountain Bluegrass Boys with his unrelenting bass rhythm.
      The Opera House is located at 818 Third Avenue in Marlinton. Performances are informal, family-friendly and open to all. Persons with disabilities are encouraged to attend; special accommodations can be arranged upon request. For further information, call 800-336-7009, or (304) 799-4636.
      This concert concludes the 2004-05 Performance Series sponsored by the Pocahontas County Opera House Foundation with financial assistance through a grant from the West Virginia Division of Culture and History and the National Endowment for the Arts, with approval from the West Virginia Commission on the Arts. Financial support is also provided by Pocahontas County Drama, Fairs and Festivals. The 2005-2006 Performance Series will begin in July.

Actors are 'Earnest' in their pursuit
of laughs in workshop production

      Some people spend a lifetime preparing for their moment in the spotlight. Others get thrust onto center stage before they realize what's happened. The latter describes the circumstances surrounding the Pocahontas Drama Workshop debut of five actors in the upcoming production of The Importance of Being Earnest. The wonderfully silly farce by Oscar Wilde will be performed May 20 and 21 at the Pocahontas County Opera House in Marlinton.
      Although many of the newcomers in the cast have a background in some art form, they have limited experience in theater and most of that tends towards the elementary school "third pumpkin on the right" variety. But they have bravely answered the call of director Margaret Baker and are gradually mastering the elegantly witty dialog, all the while trying to be where they are supposed to be, when they are supposed to be there, projecting their voices as they eat the occasional muffin or cucumber sandwich along the way.
      They couldn't have found a more entertaining vehicle for exploring their theatrical talents. The Importance of Being Earnest, widely regarded as one of the funniest plays in the English language, is a classic satire of the tea party manners and snobbish pretensions of the aristocracy in Victorian England. It is the story of two gentlemen living in 1890s England who both use the pseudonym "Earnest" for on-the-sly activities. When they both fall in love with women who unravel their deceptions, a comedy of mistaken identity ensues.
      The Mountain Times' own Drew Tanner is perhaps the most experienced of the newcomers. He studied speech and debate in high school and has been in several plays. In fact, his first role was as a bumbling schoolteacher in a melodrama, a part that was good training for his role as Jack in this production. He also began college as a music major, and he finds that his vocal training makes it easier for him to pro- ject and feel comfortable on stage. He was in several musical productions in college, including Guys & Dolls, Crazy for You and Once Upon a Mattress. Tanner moved to Pocahontas County a little over a year ago when his wife, Maribeth, took a job at High Rocks Academy, a program for teenage girls. He is a staff writer for The Pocahontas Times and has recently joined the board of the Pocahontas County Opera House Foundation. Ginger Must's theatrical background has been mostly behind the scenes. Her last acting role was as one of Cinderella's wicked stepsisters in elementary school in Germany, where her father was stationed in the Army.
      However, before moving to Pocahontas County in the early 1980s, Must constructed and painted scenery for the Opera Company of Boston. She also helped with props for an Opera Company production of Hansel and Gretel, leading to her crowning achievement sculpting a life-sized cow out of styrofoam. The cow was a resounding success, but she admits that though she was going for a surreal, whimsical look, her creation wound up looking just like a cow.
      She recalls that she read The Importance of Being Earnest in high school and was so taken by the concept of cucumber sandwiches that she went home and made some to test out.
      Her theatrical career has been on hold since she moved to Pocahontas County and married fellow cast member Bob Must (who made his debut in last year's production of The Rainmaker) in the early 1980s. Passing along the tradition, however, she did help her son Andrew and daughter Molly, both now in college, and other kids from the neighborhood produce a puppet show in the back yard. Her role as a governess in Earnest is not too much of a stretch, since she is librarian at Marlinton Middle School.
      Bill Saxton may be new to acting, but he is not a newcomer to the Drama Workshop. Last year, he painted sets and designed the poster for The Rainmaker. A graphic designer by profession, the Poca native moved to Pocahontas County two years ago to work for the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Green Bank.
      Transitioning from the visual to the performing arts is a challenge, he says, particularly in memorizing so many lines and learning techniques to project his voice. The latter isn't helped by the fact that he seems to be eating in many scenes in his role as Algernon, one of the two "earnest" young men in the play.
      He has attacked the challenges with gusto, finding a taped version of the play to help him learn his lines as he drives to and from work and developing his vocal skills with exercises director Baker has shown him.
      "It's a lot more work than I thought it would be," he commented. But he added that he is having fun, noting that he "really enjoys the silly."
      As far as stage fright, he's not too concerned. "At work, it's not uncommon for me to have to speak to a room full of people, and I'm the only one without a PhD," he laughed.
      Brynn Kusic had the unique experience of teaching drama before she ever did any acting herself (if you don't count her non-speaking role in Charlotte's Web in the ninth grade). She assisted Baker in teaching drama at High Rocks during its first year of operation, and later returned to teach drama herself. She is now an Americorps Vista worker for the organization.
      Kusic's prior performance career was as a dancer. She took dance in college and did a lot of personal choreography during that time.
      "My mom says I was born dancing," she said.
      Although she's sometimes amazed that she agreed to do something which involves people staring at her and listening to her talk, she loves the play, finding it very funny, smart and witty. She also really likes the character of Cecily, the pampered young British ingenue she portrays in the play.
      Sam Bennett, who plays two roles in the play, insists that he has no other artistic talents. "I can't sing and I can't dance," he insists.
      However, he is having a great time playing Lane, the butler, in addition to another manservant.
      "I get to say a lot of 'yes sirs' and 'yes misses,' but I also get a few good lines," he says. "I love the dry British sense of humor. They have a unique way of using the English language that most Americans have lost to slang and colloquialisms."
      Bennett spent much of his early life in Pocahontas County, but moved away in the early sixties and only returned about two and a half years ago when he accepted a position at the Denmar Correctional Facility.
      All the "newbies" in this year's Drama Workshop production have really enjoyed getting to know each other and sharing the experience of finding their "inner actor."
      Although they are a little nervous about the outcome of this ambitious venture, they can see improvement in their performance with each rehearsal. If past workshop productions are any indication, you can expect a delightful evening of theater at the Opera House when the curtain goes up on The Importance of Being Earnest.
      Performances will begin May 20 and 21 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $7, available only at the door. The production is supported by Pocahontas Co. Drama, Fairs and Festivals, Parks and Recreation, and Board of Education.

The Greenbrier River is a relatively calm Class 1-2, but high water can add excitement around large boulders.

Bend that river over your knee
and take a paddle to it!
Paddling the Greenbrier
Drew Tanner
Staff Writer
      When the Greenbrier River is swollen from spring rains, it's time to grab a paddle and get up-close and personal with this scenic tributary of the New River.
Canoe rentals are available in Cass, Marlinton and Seebert.
Photos by Drew Tanner
      With a selection of outfitters and lodging options along the way in Pocahontas County, paddlers can put together trips ranging from a half or full day to overnight excursions between the towns, campsites and inns along the Greenbrier.
      If you are just passing through, one of the most popular half-day routes is from the Route 39 bridge in Marlinton to the Watoga State Park Road bridge that crosses the river at Seebert. Canoe or kayak rental is easy. Appalachian Sport in Marlinton, just across Route 219 from the bridge rents canoes and one and two-person kayaks by the day. For frequent paddlers, Appalachian Sport will knock five dollars off the daily rental fee of $25 for each subsequent rental, until the fee is just $10 per day.
      From Marlinton, the Greenbrier takes you south, meandering past Stillhouse Run at Stillwell, under the blue bridge at Buckeye, and through pastoral scenery on the way to Watoga State Park.
      Rapids are usually found at narrow places in the river and in the curves, with several long, flat stretches in between.
      For this run, the government gauge at Buckeye should read between four and six feet. A visual gauge is on the bridge in Marlinton, visible from The River Place Restaurant. An ideal level from this spot is about one and a half to two feet. If it is any lower, you might find yourself having to push your canoe out of the shallow spots immediately below town and along the way.
      At two feet or greater, the current is swift and long fields of large "haystacks"appear, according to A Canoeing and Kayaking Guide to West Virginia.
      At three feet, areas of flat water are moving fast and powerfully, most boulders have been covered, and waves have the potential to reach five-to-six feet, the guide says.
      At that level of excitement, the Greenbrier is not a place for inexperienced paddlers.
      On a typical day, the trip takes about three hours. Another hour-and-a-half can be added if you go past Watoga State Park and into Calvin Price State Forest to take out farther down the river at Beard. Be sure to have a shuttle set up at the end of Beard Road, by the Greenbrier River Trail.
      Rentals are also available at Jack Horner's Corner in Seebert for this stretch
      In the north end of the county, when the gauge in Marlinton reads two feet or greater, the West Fork of the Greenbrier is runable from the mouth of Little River, along Forest Service Road 44 to a take-out a half mile below the US Route 250 Bridge west of Durbin. Paddlers will find Class 2 rapids as they pass through the Monongahela National Forest on this five and a half hour trip.
If you pick the right day, you might be the only one on the river,
with the exception of the occasional fisherman.
      A trip of a similar length can be had between the historic railroad towns of Durbin and Cass. The river narrows and the pace picks up as it passes through some of the county's wildest scenery. Again, at least two feet on the gauge at Marlinton is recommended for this run. >From Cass, canoe and kayak rental and shuttle service is available at the newly opened Route 66 Outpost. Rentals run $25 per day, and shuttle service is two dollars per mile. From Cass it is about five hours to Clover Lick, or a very full, 10-hour trip to Marlinton. With advance notice, paddlers can also be shuttled upstream, toward Durbin.
      There are several wilderness campsites along the Greenbrier River between Durbin and Marlinton that make this stretch ideal for overnight camping in open canoes, according to the guide.
      As with any spring or summertime recreation, sunscreen is a must, and when you're dealing with water, so is a life jacket, which most of the rental shops supply. Common sense is key, too; check on river conditions before you set out, and make sure your trip is within your capabilities with a canoe or kayak.
      Most of all, have fun. Pack a lunch, bring a friend and make a day of it For river conditions and rental information call: €Route 66 Outpost, in Cass, (304) 456-4288 €Appalachian Sport, in Marlinton, (304) 799-4050, or €Jack Horner's Corner, in Seebert, (304) 653-4515.

"Hiker at Sunset" plays with the different elements of light and dark. Notice how even though the eye is drawn to the hiker, she is not centered in the photograph. Main subjects can and should often be off-center to the photograph making for a more interesting photograph.

Take Your Best Shot

      A vacation to Pocahontas County will be an exciting family event any time of the year. Why not capture your family's enjoyment by taking quality photographs of the fun times, gorgeous scenery and unforgettable attractions?
      The most important aspect in taking a good photograph is the composition of the elements or subjects in the photograph, their surroundings and anything unique or contributing in the photograph.
      The essence of composition is organization. Organization implies order. And order means logical arrangement, with every subject component, every picture element in its proper place. What is its proper place? The place where it does the most good, appears to best advantage and is in harmony with the rest. Good composition is harmonious composition, a visual accord. And as beautiful accord in music gives pleasure to the ear, so a harmonious composition gives pleasure to the eye.
      Conversely, a poor or unharmonious composition strikes a sour note, in music as well as photography.
      A photograph can be organized in many different ways, depending on the nature of the subject and the intention of the photographer who reacted in a specific way to what he or she saw. Some possibilities are organization based upon the arrangement of lines and forms, or of colors or upon destruction of light and dark and organization based upon the relationship of foreground, middlegound and background or of earth and sky.
"Sunset in Pocahontas County" is about the different shades of color. Shots like this can be bracketed or underexposed making for richer, deeper color.

      Take your time in composing any picture. Don't just point and shoot the minute you see something you like to photograph. Look around to find the best possible angle. Look through the viewfinder and try different focal length lenses.
      Pay close attention to the direction of the light. Photography is about light; frontlight, backlight and sidelight each greatly affect the results and change the mood in the photograph. Use a tripod for maximum sharpness. Nothing beats a tripod for taking razor sharp images. Expensive cameras and lenses are worthless in shaky hands. If your images are sharp handheld, a tripod will make them razor sharp.
      Avoid both ends of the lens' aperture range. All lenses are at their sharpest when closed down two or three stops from widest aperture. Wide open aperture may produce soft corners while very small apertures can affect overall sharpness due to diffraction. Buy the best camera you can afford. Lenses are more important than cameras. Lenses greatly affect the sharpness of images.
      If you need to decide on a better camera or lens, definitely go for the lens. Any currently made camera will work fine for taking good pictures, but it is the lens that produces sharp images if used with good technique.
      Use good film. Use slower, finer grain films for better sharpness. Use faster films only if you have to, such as working in low light. Try several brands and learn their characteristics. Pick the ones you feel give the sharpness and colors you want.
      For hobbyists, digital photography has three big advantages. The first is instant feedback. When you're in an unfamiliar situation, there is no easy way to guarantee that you'll get the shot right the first time. Rather than bracketing like mad, digital shooters have learned to shoot, review the image and hit the button again.
      In addition, instant feedback can help put nervous subjects at ease, giving them a chance to see what they'll look like before the final shot is taken.
      Ease of image output is the second major advantage. If you enjoy posting and e-mailing pictures, or you want to use online printing services, you'll spend far less time by starting with digital images. Of course, you can have photo CDs made of your film images to accomplish essentially the same thing.
      The switch to digital may also save you money and hassle, depending on how you shoot. Your entire stock of digital "film" can fit in a small wallet, for example. It won't melt in the car or be affected by X-ray machines. You'll save developing fees as well.

      All the new digital and digital SLR cameras have impressive specifications for frames per second, frame bursts, and auto-focus speeds, but you need to be sure the camera you choose will work the way you want.
      Test the camera you want, either by borrowing or renting one or at least by bringing a memory card with you to the store. The controls of the camera are also important. Many digital controls have been added as after-thoughts to camera bodies designed for film. Make sure that you can get to the white balance and other settings easily.
      There are some differences in how certain digitals perform different types of shooting, too. If you shoot sports indoors, make sure your camera has acceptably low noise at high ASA settings and that it can auto-focus quickly in low light. If you shoot human subjects primarily, double-check the skin tones as they come out of the camera and ensure that the flash fill is accurate and consistent. If you shoot wildlife and outdoor sports, interchangeable lenses are a must.
      Whichever camera you choose, you have to master it to get the results you want. Learning to work with adjustable white balance, slightly longer shutter delays, and computerized image editing will take some effort, but it can pay off in more and better images.
      The secrets of a good photograph include a good camera for your needs, familiarity with the camera, its limitations and its abilities, and the time to compose a photograph that looks balanced and organized.
      Some good attractions in Pocahontas County for picture taking include the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, Cass Scenic Railroad State Park you won't want to miss Whittaker Station - Cheat Falls along the Durbin Greenbrier Valley Railroad, Falls of Hills Creek, Cranberry Glades and Nature Center, mountain ridges along the Highland Scenic Highway, mountain ridges along the Allegheny Mountains, Beartown, Shaver's Lake, Cranberry, Greenbrier or Elk Rivers, Ridges at Snowshoe Mountain, Cranberry Wilderness area, and the list goes on and on.
